8 T h e Herald March 13, 1953 PRESS BOX By Brock Yates With basketball gone for another year and our spring sports still almost a month off, athletic activity around the q\iad is just about nil. The only thing that's going* on besides the gym classes is training for the Bronze Gloves tournament. For the past few weeks we’ve been making a habit of dropping into Williams Hall to check some of the boys in training. Take a tip from us, some of the warm-up bouts can be every bit as good as the real thing. Not being pros, most of the fighters take every round pretty seriously, even the ones that don’t count. We’ve seen quite a few guys get so mad that they ignored the end of the round. Now if this is any indication of what it’s going to be like on fight night, and we think it is, you’re going to see some pretty rugged action. We had a chance to see Lee Wilson, a freshman go for three min utes against Tiger Carnovale, and. even at this early stage of the game they looked pretty good. Although both are in the heavy class, Lee was shy by quite a few pounds, the 220 that Tiger carries around. Wil son was pretty sharp with his punches and he’d give ole Tig a pretty tough go for two rounds anytime. But we would have to stick with. Carnovale for the full six rounds, because of his weight and punching power. Ed Monahan and Feets Shc-lton squared off for a couple of min utes of real slugging. Eddy has had previous ring experience and really likes to dig right in and slug. Shelton had about 8 inches in height over little Ed but just couldn’t seem to hit his bouncing, weaving target. If you are planning at this late date to enter the Gloves, take our advice and stay out of Monahan’s division. These are just two of many sparring bouts that are being staged every day in preparation for March 24. So if you like free-for-all boxing and have a spare afternoon, drop over to the gym. Believe us, those guys are playing for keeps. In case you haven’t noticed, Babe has taken the lacrosse team out side, and the boys are really hopping. Whether it’s caused by enthusiasm or by the cold, we aren’t sure, but they look good in places. We had a chance to talk to an ex-Hobart AH-American lacrosse man a few days ago and he claims that we have the finest attack in the nation! That may sound like pretty big talk, but if you don’t rate Sutton and Snape with the very best, we suggest that you hang up your lacrosse stick. Unfortunately the team is still having goalie troubles. At this point Russ Pickering and Peter Karp are the two top candidates for the job. From here it looks like Russ has more experience in his favor while maybe Pete had just a little more natural ability. But it’s too early in the season to go out on any imbs. Speaking of going out on limbs, we heard many screams of agony over our calling basketball the school’s major sport, instead of lacrosse. Sorry, but we’ll stick by our guns for this reason: a nationally ranked basketball team would do more for this school than 10 of the same kind of lacrosse teams. We admittedly have a fine lacrosse reputation, but lacrosse just doesn’t have it when compared to tbe popularity of basket ball. Before you start yelling about attendance figures and overall records, remember that the stick game is generally restricted to the east coast and not more than 15 or 20 schools really go overboard for it. That’s just one man’s opinion and if you have a different one we’d like to hear from you. We gave up all claims of being perfect a long time ago.

ARROW SHIRTS m ---------------- ------------ -------------------- — SHIRTS • TIES • UNDERWEAR • HANDKERCHIEFS • SPORTS SHIRTS ___ By Rog Clouser , Five veteran intramural stars led last weeks selections of the 1953 Hobart All-Intramural Basketball Team as the Phi Phi Delta quint took Fraternity honors by placing two men on the All Star five. Selection* were made by eight Fraternities. Their choices were: FIRST TEAM F— Bill Morton of Sigma Chi with 28 points F—Donn Brascho of-Kappa Sigma with 23 points G—Dick Colgan of Theta Delta Chi with 34 points G— Peter Karp of Phi Phi Delta with 28 points G—Ken Carpenter of Phi Phi Delta with 36 points SECOND TEAM F—Feets Shelton of Sigma Phi F—Noel Feigin of Phi Sigma Kap- pa C—Bud Miller of Sigma Chi G— John Snape of Sigma Chi G—Howie Smith of Phi* Phi Delta THIRD TEAM F—Dick Marx of Beta Sigma Tau F—Bunkie Baldwin of Delta Chi G—Chuck Gurler of Sigma Chi G—Satch Ward of Phi Kappa Tau G—Pete Comstock of Sigma Chi HONORABLE MENTION Gritman of Phi Kappa Tau, Cook of Kappa Sigma, Bock of Phi Kap pa Tau, Servis of Sigma Chi, Licht of Beta Sigma Tau, Gettman of Kappa Sigma, Bolin of Kappa Sig ma, Spitzer of Phi Kappa Tau, Sdl- tar of Phi Phi Delta, and Taussig of Kappa Alpha. Selections were made on the bas is o f a possible 40 points. Leading the 1953 All Stars and chosen as the Most Valuable Playex* of this year’s Intramural Basketball Lea gue is Ken Carpenter of Phi Phi Delta. Averaging 9 points a game and giving invaluable service as a playmaker, Carpenter was the mainstay of the champion Phi Phi Delta team. At the other guard is Carpenter’s running mate on the Phi Phi squad, former Freshman star, Peter Karp. The All-Star center is Theta Delta Chi’s Dick Colgan. Colgan racked up 111 points to become the season’s second high scorer and helped his Theta Delta Chi team mates achieve a 5-4 season’s record. Former varsity eager, Donn Bras cho of Kappa Sigma holds down one of the forward slots. Brascho’s steady play and potent scoring punch helped his Kappa Sig team mates achieve third place in the final standings. At the other for ward post is Sigma Chi’s Bill Mor- Rusch Talk (Continued from Page 1) of the Japanese nation. He changed one o f the most vicious enemies in our experience into friends and es tablished a new pattern o f living for them.” No Quick End Col. Rusch foresees no quick end ing to the Korean stalemate. “Boys who arc 12, 13, and 14 today will still do their chore in Korea,” he said. “Most of the people in Asia be lieve freedom and free enterprise mean the freedom of western col onial powers to exploit the Asian. They believe anything different \would be better than what they now have, and they are determined to get it. Asiatics distrust people with white skins, and they are determined never to be ruled by foreigners.” “W e must sell the Orient on democracy,” said Rusch, “and our greatest produce is Christianity. And it must last through another war. The last time it ran.” Talk Inspirational Col. Rusch’s talk* has inspired several Hobart and William Smith students to investigate the possibil ity o f joining him at Koyosato this summer. “ It would be a good argu ment for our side if the Japanese could see you working side by side with them, on a farm, or teaching English in a classroom.” John Bloom and Johnnie Terauchi exhibit some good sharp punching as they spar in preparation for the Bronze Gloves Tournament. Stickmen Open On April 18; Adelphi Added To Schedule The Hobart Lacrosse season will open on April 18 when the states men meet Penn State on Quaker soil. Penn, along with Renssalaer Poly, Syracuse, and Cornell, is one of Hobart’s more formidable oppon ents on the eight-game schedule. Half of the games will be contested on Boswell Field, giving fans plenty of opportunity to see their squad m action. ^ Francis L. (Babe) Kraus, start ing his twenty-seventh season as stick mentor, hopes to repeat last year’s outcome \in the opening game. The orange and purple de feated Penn, nine to eight, in ’52 to start o f f a fine season’s i*ecord of eight wins and two losses. The Sta tesmen have won seventeen of twenty-one matches played during the last two years of lacrosse com petition. The newest addition to the sched ule is Adelphi College. This game on May sixteenth will mark the first athletic venture of any kind— basketball, football or baseeball— between the two colleges. Hoover (Scoop) Sutton, star at tack stickman for the last two years, returns this season for the last time in his college career. He is this year’s captain-elect. Sup- poring him on offense will be Jonny Kraus .’54 and Johnny Snape ’ 54 . The goalie position is still uncer tain and as o f yet may be awarded to either Karp, Licht, or David. Letter-man Muff Cook will again provide the backbone for the de fense. The schedule: April 18 Penn State — Away April 25 R. P. I. — Home April 29 Cortland — Home May 2 Cornell — Home May 6 Union — Away May 13 Syracuse ■— Away May 16 Adelphi — Home May 20 Cornell — Away Sophs Edge Frosh ToBecomeChamps It was close all the way-, but the freshmen had neither the manpow er or the breaks, as they were bumped from the class basketball championship game by the sophs in overtime, 72-68. This made it two in a row for the class of 1955, and as last year, were led to victory by Bob Owen and Sonny Wilson. The score was tied time and again as both teams managed to keep driving* through each other’s man-to-man defense. A t the end of the regular four per iods of play the score was knotted 68 - 68 . Just before the final gun sounded frosh Stan Cohen tried to remedy this with a desparation hook shot. The support of lady Luck left the 56’ers in the overtime period as their two sparkplugs, Stan Cohen and Len DeFrancesco fouled out. From here on in Sonny Wilson took charge and that was the ball game. Richie Weisglass was the high scorer for the freshmen and their big man on the boards. For his efforts he received the Most Valuable Player Award for the tourney. Weisglass had 24 points against the sophomores. The second high man fox* the frosh was Bob Wagenfeld with 15. Sonny Wilson was high {or the champions as he bagged 19 points, Bob Owen was close behind with 18.
