Again the track team comes in for some praise for its whitewashing of a supposedly strong Syracuse team. Although the Orange lacked such stars as Eddie O'Brien and Archie Trento, the triumph was still a major one, despite the ease with which, the Lion rummers came through. The freshman cindermen did a fine job as they also closed their dual meet season. Vukmanie, Maule, Gordon, and teammates will further strengthen the varsity next. year. • And while on the subject of track praise, it seems only fair to mention manager Bill Smith, who has impres sed us with his terrific interest in the team, and his general competence .in running the runners.

Mushball Activity Goes On. Despite PromWeek-End Yellin Scores Unassisted Triple Play; Track Meet Today ' A few ardent mushballers wouldn't be deterred from their pastime by the bustling activities of Junior Prom week-end, and had their fun swatting out victories over less able opponents. Phi Sigma Delta kept within strik ing distance of first place in the Penn- Allen league by virtue of its 2542 vic tory over the Theta Chi - combination. Dave Yellin, shortstop, was far and away the outstanding star of the day for the winners. .Besides leading the hitting barrage with five hits, he per formed the almost unheard-of feat of completing a triple killing unassisted. With Theta Chis on first and sec ond and none out in the last half of the ninth, Yellin caught a steaming line drive over second, touched the bag, and outran the runner returning to first.

NICHOLS Under cloudy skies and on a slow, soggy track, Penn State's yearling. cindermen won from Cornell. at Ith aca, N. Y., by an £3ll-5056 score. With Nick Vukmanic taking high scoring honors, the Lion Cubs chalked up firsts in eight of the 15 events. First places in the javelin, discus, and shot-put were garnered by Vuk manic.

Orange Salvages Only 2 First Places To Suffer Worst Loss In 27 Years Bauer, Redmond Each Cop 2 Events; Pete Olexy Turns In Best Time For 2-Mile; Lions Point - For Intercollegiates Coach Chick Werner's first undefeated track team successfully defended rd Saturday when it ran wild on a muddy track to swamp Syracuse record score of 106-29. The record was a record only as far as Syra cuse was concerned. The 29 points that Syracuse won marked the lowest total recorded by the Orange since Tommy Keene. assumed the coaching duties there. Not since 1928 had a State track team been undefeated in dual meets. this meal under a r The victory was so complete that Syracuse took only two first places, those won by Marty Glickman, Syracuse Olympic ace, in the 100 .and 220- yard dashes. Syracuse was without the services of its most famous star, Ed die O'Brien, out with a leg injury, but even had O'Brien been there, the score could not have been much dif ferent Muddy Track Slows Meet, The boys were just too good for Syracuse. They didn't double up in most cases or else the score might have been worse. A muddy track dead ened most of the performances, but (Wen the mire couldn't stop the State men from showing signs of their real class. Dave Bauer again ran three races. He finished second in the 100-yard dash behind the flying Glickman; won the high hurdles in 15.3; ;and finished all even in the low hurdles with Greg Thompson. Jim Redmond wio: another double winner. He won the broad jump with a nice leap of 22 feet 4 inches and tied with Vic Sandham at 5 feet 6 inches in the high jump. In practice before the meet Jim got over six feet, but after the event started, Jim was content to tie with Sandham. But these who saw Jim clear 6 feet 4 in ches in practice last week know what to expect from him in the Interco]. legiates two weeks hence. Olexy Foils Orange Milers Ray Hazard returned to the squad after his recovery from a bad ankle injury and ran a commendable second in the two-mile run. Pete Olexy won the event in the best time he has 3 , et turned in for the event, 0 minutes 40 seconds. Olexy, by the way, proved to be the undoing of several of the Syracuse men in the mile run, even though he didn't place. It seems that COnch Wer ner wanted Pete to warm up for the two-mile event. So he put him in the mile with instructions to run one slow lap and then quit. Pete did as he was directed. But the Syracuse mentor, Tom Keene, thought that Olexy was the man to heat in the race. So. he instructed his men to stick with him.

A second quarter uprising, in which the big Syracuse squad scored six points, four by Thiel, was too much for State to overcome. Meier hit the net after grabbing a pass front Sargis to open the period. Young Thiel shot the first of his five goals soon after ward by bouncing the ball into the net off goalie Meyers' chest. Meier, not to lie outdone, collaborated with Sargis again for another score. Then Brother Thiel staged his show. He counted three more times in the quar ter before the whistle ended his ex ploitations. The score at this point stood at 7-:3, in favor of Syracuse. State Takes Lead State took the lead two minutes aft er the game got under way when Cohn tallied on a pass from Buser. Sargis took advantage of an extra man and tied the score at 1-1 while Hoft was serving time in the box. The passing toinbination, Buser to Cohn, again clicked for a score and Simpson shot one past Hague, Syracuse goal-ten der, to put State ahead at the end of the first quarter, 3-1. The second half began where Fran Thiel left off. He opened the scoring for that period to run his streak of consecutive goals to four: Jake Hoft put State back on a scoring basis to counter Thiel's score but Shallish tal lied to finish the scoring in the third period and end the Orange searing for the afternoon.
