Ramin Paces Yearlings
In first Half Uprising
With Kiski-leading 5-0 in the
early — minutes of play, the Lion
freshman basketball team turned
what looked like their first loss of
the season into a sweeping victory
when they scored 19 points in the
first half before Kiski could tally
again and rolled up 15 points in
the second quarter to win 34-18 in
Rec Hall on Saturday
After their early five-point lead,
the prepsters were never in the
tunnmg as, led by Bob Ramin who
chalked,up 11 points before half-
I time was called, the Nittanymen
completely bottled up the, opposi

first half Kiski managed to'brealc
through the Blue and White de
'

making the score_ 19-7 as the half

It's Unusual
The Corner Room myth has been
exploded! I I ,
For three and a half years now
I have been a steadfast believer
that Matty Mateer's "coke house"
was the only UNUSUAL thing in
all State College.
But Saturday that well-founded
belief, that deep-rooted troth, was
completely smashed, scourged and
shattered
Proof. This staggering list of
Penn State spot t UNUSUALITIES
1. Counting dual meets only, his
ill-fated bout with Michigan's
powerful captain Butch Jordan
was match No. 13 for Lion heavy
weight Warren Elliott.
2 Ironically enough, it was also
No 13 for Elhott's side-kick Midge
King, 121-pounder who returned to
mat warfare after a year's ab
sence, spotted Michigan's Dick
French six pounds and beat him.',
easily to win the 128-pound class.'
King, second only to Capt Ernie
Bortz in victories, has NEVER
won by a fall, in. dual-meet compe
tition
3. When Nittany mitt captain
Mike Cooper scored a TKO victory
over Virginia's Mr. Callahan in the
second round of their 127-pound
bout Saturday night, the Lion vet
eran bagged his FIRST dual-meet
knockout in three years of inter
collegiate compention--
, 1 On the other hand, Red Stan
ko, Leo Houck's veteran 135-poun
der who dropped his first match
this season to Virginia's Mr Coy,
has NEVER won a dual-meet bout
on a decision All of his victories
(five of 'em) have been knockouts
5. Roy Gensler, Charlie Speidel's
155-pounder, was the FIRST Lion
wrestler to lose by a fall this sea
son. Roy needn't feel bad, how
ever. The man who finally pin
ned him (only afteia terrific bat
tle saw ,the advantage reversed 12
times) was Harlan Danner, ex-Big
Ten champ and runner-up for the
national
0 For the FIRST time in Penn
State history (as near as colonels,
majors and captains can recall),
the Nittany riflemen have beaten

Warren Elliott fractures Ankle In Deciding Tilt;
Captain Bortz Bests Nichols To Stay Unbeaten
By 808 LANE
Although Lucius Seneca, an old Roman philosopher, certainly
was not thinking of the Nittany Lion wrestlers when he said, "We are
sure to get the better of our fortune, if we do but grapple with it,"
this philosophy might serve as an inspiration to guide the "Spartans

Dowler Sinks Only State
-GoatrSquad-Offereld Ice-
For Pradice And Games
By ED McLORIE
The Dukes_ were kings Friday
night in Johnstown and the Lions . '
were merely wildcats as Penn
State's hockey team bowed, 4-1, to
a strong Duquesne sextet
' A whirlwind third period attack
by the Duquesne puck-chasers
spelled defeat for a hard fighting
Lion that had held the Dukes on
even terms for the first two per
iods. The score at the end of the
second was 1-0 with the Smokey
City lads on top
, State's only tally was registered
after 15 42 minutes of the third
period with the Lions trailing 3-0.
Scrappy Dowler sank the puck on
a pass from John Dufford who had
brought it down the right lane
Dowler, coming down the center,
took The puck and scored from the
vicinity of the attack zone's blue
Tilt Rough
The tilt at times proved rougher
than any the Lions had previously,
encountered and was a thriller for
the 700 spectators who lammed the
new Shaffer Ice Palace
Commenting on the game, the
rink manager Albert Keene stated,
"Penn State has a hockey team
which should be able to beat Duq
uesne with a little practice It's
not hard to see that State is han
dicapped by a lack of practice and
I should like to Offer them the Ice
Palace rink as a practice medium
and for, their home games "
Keene added that since Carnegie
Tech and State have both lost to
Duquesne by identical scores, they
seemed a perfect match He stated
that he, is now attempting to ar
range a game at the Johnstown
rink between the Lions and the
,Tartans soon

When the last flying gymnast had settled to the hardwood floor
of the Army field house Saturday afternoon in the triangular, dually

Their New York invasion repulsed by a fighting Syiacuse nut

The Hoyas, who took a 33-22 trouncing from Coach Lawthei's
gentlemen here in January, should hardly prove too hot to handle—
even 'while defending their honor at home against a tired Nittany
band But Temple is a different story
While the locals were rambling

Owls of Philadelphia were hand

Saturday afternoon the Tem

This margin is not too impressive

The Owls, always formidable
