Mori, for whose departure no

quite adequately last Saturday

with their dynamite contents and
his burly constitution gave little

With Mori out, Leo Houck will

a new “white hope” appears,
Houck will have to either re

THE DAILY COLLEGIAN
John Egli, Bob Ramin
Lead Nittany Spree
By JOHN BAER
Good feeling between Penn
State and Mexico increased a
hundredfold as the University of
cagers proved them
selves good diplomats by grace
fully losing to a vastly superior
Nittany team, 62-18, in Rec Hall
last night.
The Yellow Shirts, as the Mex
ican passers .are known, were
outclassed from the start. John
Lawther put his reserves in early
in the second quarter when the
score was 22-3 and let them fin
ish the game.
Long, looping passe? were the
chief stock in trade of the Mex
icans but the taller Lions had
little trouble in throttling this
type of offense.
Best shot and cleverest ball
handler among the visitors was
Tiny Dellino Flores, five foot,
five inch forward, who dodged in
and out to pace his teammates
with eight points. John Egli and
Bob Ramin of State were high
scorers with 12 apiece. Captain
Johnny Barr garnered six points
during his short stay in the ball
game.
State got off to a lead just af
ter the opening whistle when Ra
min took a pass from Barr and
flipped the ball in to make it
2-0. The Lions pulled away to
a 12-3 lead at the quarter.
The second quarter was com
pletely dominated by the home
team as Captain Humberto Sal
azar got the only Mexico points
on a pair of fouls. The Nittany
cagers tallied almost at will to
make the halftime count 30-5.
The second half was practic
ally a repetion of the first, Bob
Crowell, Ray Edgar, and Egli led
the State attack by piling up a
combined total of 24 points.
Flores sank two basket and a
foul for the Yellow Shirts

Grapplers Await
Wolverine Attack
Fresh from trouncing the Big
Red grapplers ol' Cornell after
Valiant Joe Valla had copped the
deciding bout in a spine-tingling
overtime bout ,the Nittany Lions
will pit the.ir mat skill against a
clever Michigan squad in Rec
Hall at 7 o’clock tomorrow night.
• Coach Charlie Speidel’s grunt
and-groan artists will attempt to
even the 3-2 Wolverine edge of
victories which reached its cli
max last year when Warren Elli
ott, Lion heavyweight, fractured
his ankle to lose the match 16-14
after his teammates had piled up
a 14-11 lead. Elliott was winning
at the time.
The Wolverines have defeated
Dearborn AC, Northwestern, Ill
inois,- and Ohio State. They were
conquered by Indiana and Mich
igan State recently because a
few ineligible players at the end
of the first semester left vacan
cies in the 121, 165, and 175-
pound positions.
In order to cope with a strong,
veteran lineup in the middle
weights, Speidel may switch Joe
Scalzo, 155-pounder -to his na
tural 145-pound spot where he
will probably meet Jack Paup,
who has won five tilts this year.
Glenn Alexander would move up
to the 155-pound spot.

Nittany Swimmers Gun
For Syracuse Tankmen
In Away Tilt Saturday
With their last home meet be
hind them, the Nittany tankmen
are tuning up for their remaining
two tilts, the first at Syracuse
with the Orangemen this Satur
day, and the' last with the Big
Red at Ithaca .the following
weekend.
Syracuse will furnish the big
gest threat to Lion Captain Bill
Kirkpatrick’s unblemished rec
ord in the 50-yard sprint, for the
Orange squad boasts not one, but
two outstanding freestyle stars.
Last year Syracuse freestyler
Ed Kompf captured the 50 by
setting a new pool record of 24.2,
and Dick Whiteside, Orange dist
ance expert, took firsts in both
the 220 and 440-yard freestyle
with a 5:22 record for the latter
race.
Captain Frank Gleason will be’
the only Lion who remains un
defeated as he meets Ray Deane,
Michigan 136-pounder who has
garnered five victories and lost
one bout. Clair Hess, 128-pound
er, and 165-pound Chuck Rohrer
were dethroned in the Cornell
fracas.
Tom Weidig, Wolverine vet
eran 128-pounder, will attempt
to upset Hess in a revenge scrap.
Weidig was decisioned by the
Lion lightweight last year.
