LionMatmen
Meet Lehigh
Away Tonight
Completing their home dual meet
schedule with tjirec sweeping vic
tories, the Lion wrestlers will come
to grips with- Lehigh tonight in the
latter’s gym.
- Records for both teams show three
wins and two losses. Among Lehigh’s
victories, however, 'is a surprising
25%-l% trouncing administered to
Navy. The Engineers trailed on the
wrong end of. a 13%-12’,4 score
against Yale and then fell before
M.chigan’s powerhouse, 27-3. Qther
victories s w er e one-sided affairs
against the powerless teams of Syra
cuse and V. M. L The scores were
29-3 and 30%-l %, respectively.
State’s 17-11 defeat of .Harvard
Monday night in Rec hall was cloud
ed by the loss of Ross Shaffer to Jack
Harkness, Crimson- 175-pounder. It
marked the first loss for the - State
captain in three years (19 meets) of
intercollegiate .wrestling.
Two years .ago, Shaffer pinned
Wnrkness, hut Monday night, Hark
ness, knowing Shaffer’s style, kept
away from the State captain until he
found an opening to take him down.
Advantage see-sawed between them,
both displaying all their wrestling
skill, but with two minutes remain
ing, the Crimson light-heavy switched
to gain the top and hold Shaffer t©
the mat and gain the decision.
.This match left Don Bachman, 105-
pounder. the only- undefeated Lion
'grappler, when he was awarded the
decision over Daughaday in a close
battle. Frank Craighead, 125, won
handily frpm Ach and Bob Reynolds.
IHS, had an easy time with Page.
Aldo Zazzi, 145, stopped Linderfel
der with a figure four and arm lock
‘in '2:40 but Glendenn/ng, Crimson
heavyweight, cancelled Zazzi's five
points by pinning Dean Hanley with
a reverse head chancery in 7:271 It
was Hanley’s first mat appearance
this season.
Roy Gensler, sophomore in his first
varsity meet, gained the referee’s nod
over Kidder at 155 pounds. Gensler
had a throwing -hold on Kidder as the
match ended.
Lehigh received a serious blow
when Tom King, 145-pounder who
won a berth on America’s Olympic
.team.two years ago,-was declared-in-*
eligible. v ßill Sheridan, the Engi-i
ncers’ coach, has used Gus Hager
man and Hugh Ferry in that slot
but neither has scored. Ferry seems
to he the choice to oppose Zazzi to
night.
Myron Sterngold, heavyweight, and
Dick Bishop, 155, are the undefeated
wrestlers on the Brown and White
team. Sterngold has five victories in
his favor while ißushop, out with in
juries in two meets, has three wins.

Indicator Of
Lions’ Future
Turning their eyes'away, from the
Eastern . Conference ! race, P e n'n
.State’s basketball Lions -will meet a
high-scoring Syracuse cage squad .in
the final event Af * pack-jammed
week-end in Recreation hall at 8:30
o’clock tonight.
Averaging approximately 50 points
per game, the Orange should provide
a surefire test for State in the non-
Confcrcnce .battle tonight, and the
outcome is expected to indicate defi
nitely in which direction the Lions
will be traveling next week when they
meet Carnegie Tech and Pittsburgh
in the league finales.
Not only would a victory for the
Lions add momentum to Lheir at
tempts to shake off a mid-season leth
argy that toppled them from first to
third place in the league standing
before they edged out West Virginia
last Saturday to climb back into sec
ond, but it would also stamp them as
'favorites to finish close on the wihgs
of Temple’s championship Owls.’
Meanwhile, Coach John D. Lnwlher
is expected to start the same lineup
that stacked up against West Vir
ginia a week ago..tonight; with Co
captain Sol Miehoff and./Herb Peter
son at the fonvnrd positions. Bill
Stopper at center, and Co-captain Joe
Prolcsa and Charley Prosser as
guards.
i Max Corbin, whose wrist still is
-encased in a cast, is definitely out of
the game, but Jack Reichenbach, who
was clicking on nil cylinders before
his knee suddenly went haywire, is
expectcJ to see some action, perhaps
as a tune-up for next week’s tussles.
Center of attention tonight will be
diminutive Sol Miehoff, who will be
aiming to regain his scoring eye pre
paratory to resuming his quest for a
new Conference record next week.
After setting a terrific pace of 80
points in the first six league tilts,
Miehoff fell short of the double-fig
ure in'the last two.games. Although
he still leads the Conference with 93
markers, Sol must score 26 points in
the two remaining league games to
establish a new mark.
Following Miehoff in Lion Confer
ence-. scoring -is-Prosser, with-61
points in eight games. Then, in or
der, come Reichenbach, 40; Corbin,
34; Stopper, 20; Proksa, 17; Howard
McWilliams. 15; Peterson, 9; George
Chalmers,' 5;. and Sonny Hoffman, 1.
Miehoff also lends the team in all
season scoring with 157- points in 14
games, followed by Prosser, who has
netted 111 in the same number of
games.
Bishop held the 155-pound EIWA ti
tle in 1930 but lost to Chuck Powers,
Princeton, lust. year. He js the broth--
or of Ben, 1934 NCAA champ, who
refereed the Syracuse-State meet
last Saturday.
The probable lineups for tonight’s
meet will be: 118—Carl King (S) v.
Walter Allen; 125—-F. Craighead
(S) v. Franc Burnett; 135—Reynolds
(S) v. Gordon Stone or Hal Masem;

in care of Ihe Collegian
TEE. PENit STATE' COLLEGIAN
ampion—a Central American Olympic
is with a record toss, lan Murphy ’39,
gathered loads of personal'glory and
nvhclming track and field victory in
itnerlcan and
Caribbean Olympics held in Panama
City February 5-24.
Broke Record 6 Ft.
-Competing against the best of the
Central American trackmen, Murphy
bettered jthe meet, record In.the discus
throw by six feet, with a heave of
42.42 meters or'about 149 feet. The
entries from Puerto Rico cinched their
Olympic track triumph with a clean
record-shattering sweep in the shot
put, the State man taking third. Each
man broke-the previous mark of 4*3 1
feet two inches, the winning mark
being 44 feet 8 inches.
Approximately 2.000 athletes repre
senting all the Central American
countries, Mexico, Venezuela, Colum
bia, Puerto Rico, Cuba, Jninaica, nnrt
Haiti, competed in the entire festivi
ties 'Murphy pointed out.'
"It was a wonderful trip, competi
tion was keen, and it was a real thyill
to win'for Puerto Rico,” ..Murphy said
as he reviewed bis tr.p. “But we had
the best team and walked away with
nearly all the medals.”
Flew From Wash., D. C.
Flying from' Washington, D. C., with
stop-overs in Miami, Fla., and Colum
bia. South America, the Lion weight
man and teammates from Columbia
and Louisiana State, arrived in* the
Canal Zone February 2.
“Rigid training rules prevailed as
soon as’we arrived,” Murphy explain
ed. “All the athletes were housed
in n large school building, the ‘Centro
Amerdero Guerre,’ and they kept us
on a daily time table. Up at 7 o'clock
and to bed at 10 o’clock, with free
hours in late afternoon and early eve
ning. ,
"We practiced every morning from
9 o’clock to upon. That sun. was hot,
hut the air was nice and cool. ,
“Best performances on the track
were recorded by a fellow from Pan
ama, who did 10.3 seconds Jn the 100-
meter dash, and a 21.6 sprint in the
200 meters by a Cuban. Our boys (re
ferring to the Puerto Ricans) came
through in great style with Torros of
L. S. U. winning the penthalon, a 19-
year-old kid, high Jumping 0- feet 7
inches, and we won other weight
events.
“After the track and field events
were over, we hadu swell time.. The
big blow-off for all the athletes, oddly
enough, was a beer party .which end
ed in numerous fights. And speaking
of fights, the best one occurred in a
baseball game between Panana and
Puerto Rico. Our team claimed the
American umpires were robblog
them, arguments resulted, and before
we knew it, Panama had their mount
ed police on the field breaking up the
tussle." ,

A 1 Bolder Out
As Lions Get
Set For Pitt
The luckless Lions, beset with in
eligibilities, and now injuries, will
face an unusually strong Pitt boxing
team in Recreation hall this after
noon following the ground-breaking
ceremonies.
A 1 .Bolder, afflicted with an abscess
in his nose, is undergoing an opera
tion in Philadelphia this week, and

A great deal was hoped from Al aft
er his splendid fights at Syracuse am!
Virginia and his good showing in the
two home fights. Western Maryland
and North Carolina.
Another shift in the lineup is now
necessary, with several possibilities
presenting themselves. The first is
,that Heber I.essig will move up to'
175 in Bolder’s place, with Sammy
Donato back up to 155, Hank
Schweitzer up to 165, and Paul Bach
man at 145. Another chance is that
Nate Handler will be dropped to 175.
with Tor Toretti continuing at
heavyweight. Toretti showed up well
in his first fight at Virginia, giving
his opponent, Billy Weeks, plenty of
trouble.
Pitt Has Good Record
Coach. Jack Sehricker will present
a well balanced team, his two most
promising veterans lieing George Lu
pinacc:, 175 pounds, and Ray Bombe,
165 pounds. Herb Turner or Jed
Curzi are two of the Panther's
threats fighting in tHe 145-pound
class.

's since the College will lend its re
sources to no team that has not been
formally recognized. Twelve men
made the trip and were accompanied
by Coach Al Hook.
The inexperienced Lion icers man
• aged to start out the opening game
by holding the Panther machine, hut
within a few minutes the superior
Pitt organization started to tell;
three goals were tallied before the
period was over.
The second period found the Lions
a little more experienced and on even
terms with Pitt Coach John McSor
ley’s icers.- The State defense re
pulsed all Pitt attacks, and several
scoring attempts were made during
this period unsuccessfully.
3rd Period-PiU Scores
In the third period the improved
Lion defense again held Pitt on equal
terms, until Pitt seized the opportun
ity to put across a nicely executed
play which caught State unawares.
Also in this period Bob Ingram, a ‘
forward, after taking the puck down
the ice, lost, his balance and crashed
into the Pitt cage, suffering a serious
cut on his head. '
The* game was cleanly played
throughout with few penalties, and
the Lion’s improved stand in the sec
ond and third periods seemed to show
that the Penn State hockey team is
good enough to play right along with
any team in the Pittsburgh-Ohio
League.
The Pc-nn State first team was com
posed of Carl DeLong, goalie; Bill
McCnllister, right defense; John Wa
ters, left defense; George Merwin,
center; Joe Ellieott, right wing; and
Bob Vanßenschoten, left wing.
Spares were Bob • Ingram, Taylor
Winner, " Roger Clapp, and Jack
Pearce. They opposed a Pitt team of
Ellis, Broido,. Connick, Friday, Schoo
ley, and Brittain.
The next game, now pending, is
an .'engagement with Penn in the
Philadelphia Arena on either March
4 or 11.
