Lion Gridders Tie
Dukes In 2nd Till
Marching for a touchdown in
the final two minutes of play,
Penn State’s grid team managed
to tie Duquesne’s eleven by a
12-12 count for the second time in
two days in their battle on the
New Beaver Field gridiron Sat
urday afternoon.
Led by Jack Banbury, plunging
■fullback, the. Nittanymen started
their march on the midfield stripe
and ended it from the three when
Banbury bucked over left guard.
Mayo Donelli, starting right half
for the Night Riders, had kicked
out from the., end zone after the
Dukes had. been ..penalized .for
clipping.
Main ; cogs in the final scoring
march were Cliff St. Clair, who
carried a 25-yard reverse, Chuck
MaeFarland, and Banbury.
-The"other Lion touchdown was
turned in by Banbury in the sec
ond quarter when he was on the
Catching end of an aerial thrown
by Bud Davis, 155-pound tailback.
The pass was completed in the
flat on the 24-yard line from
where Banbury evaded three of
■the Dukes’ secondary to score
standing up.
. Duques'ne had capitalized on a
Lion fumble a few minutes be
fore, in the first period, to score
their initial points on a pass from
Goode to Mehelich. Matisi, eas
ily the outstanding lineman for
the Red and Blue, broke through
the right side of the Lion line
and scooped up O’Karma’s fumble
on the Nittany 32-yard marker.
Matisi also arranged for the
second Smoky City score when he
blocked and recovered Banbury’s
punt midway •in the second per
iod. The Dukes’ passing com-
L’.ne of Goode and Kielbasa then
collaborated on two tosses to dent

ROTC Parade Delays
IM Track Meet One Day
“Even, the intramural track and
field meet. is„ affected by the
Army,” observed Robert M. Fal
oon ’44,, co-manager of the meet.
“It was necessary to change the
intramurals to Thursday and Fri
day,” Failon explained, “because
a ROTC parade Wednesday after
noon makes it impossible to start
then, as originally scheduled.”
Changing, the date gives the 140
fraternity men and 60 independent
men, who signed entry blanks, an
extra day of practice.
William P. Douglas '45, golf
tournament manager, meanwhile
stated that 23 four-man teams
•have signed for matches in frater
nity competition. Only three teams
have entered the independent di
vision.
all even, the Nittany squad dom
inated the offepse with 11 first
downs to the Night Riders’ 5.
Despite his fumble, O’Karma
starred in the Blue and White
backfield along with Jeff Dur
kota, Bob Weitzell, Banbury, Dav
is and St. Clair.
Best defensive work of the day
was turned in by Leo Nobile, Jack
Kerns, Johnny Jaffurs and Ray
Ulinski, line backer.

Ewell Takes Broad Jump
In Saturday Finale
Bolstered by first places won by
the sprint medley relay team and
by Barney Ewell in the broad
jump, Lion trackmen came off
with a grand total of five individu
al and four relay titles in the Penn
Relays Carnival Friday and Sat
urday.
Other relay places won by the
Nittany thinclads were a second
in tne 380-yard relay by a team
made up of ponDoioin, Marty
Schiff, Gene Nevill, and Ewell, a
fourth in the freshman mile relay,
and a fourth in the two-mile re
lay.
Individual titles besides Ewell’s
broad jump win, with a leap of 24
feet, 5Vz inches, was a third by
Ewell in the 100-yard dash, a
fourth in the broad jump and a tie
for fourth in the high jump by Orv
Krug, and a tie-for second in pole
vault by team captain Joe Bakura.
One of the oustanding perform
ances in the meet was Ewell’s
running the anchor leg of the 880-
yard relay. Getting the baton in
fourth place, he advanced his team
to second, gaining on but not quite
■being able to overcome the lead
which Bill Carter of Pitt had on
him at the beginning of the last
leg.
He was doing his running for
this event and the 100-yard dash
between jumps in the broad jump
pit. This, according to Coach
Chick Werner, was the cause of
his failing to win the 100 from his
opponents, two of the fastest
sprinters in the country.
This showing and Gordon’s sen
sational last leg of the sprint med
ley relay on Friday made the meet
stand out as one of the best in,the
history of the carnival. Along
with the battle between Campbell
Kane of Indiana and Les Mac-
Mitchell of the highly-touted NYU
team, they rated tops in the week
end’s spectacular meet.
Although" no team scores are
counted in the relays, the Lion
team showed as well as was ex
pected before the meet. NYU,
pre-meet favorite, failed to win
one first place.
Cornell Metiers
Defeat Lions, 7-2
Penn State’s varsity netters suf
fered their third straight loss of
the season to Cornell on the lat
ter’s courts by a 7-2 score Sat
urday.
Except for the courageous
comback victory of Cy Hull, the
Nittanymen dropped all the sin
gles matches and two of the three
doubles.
Playing at the number one spot,
Hull upset Cornell’s Liberthol,
who is ranked among the leaders
in eastern intercollegiate tennis.
Getting off to a slow start, Hull
dropped his first set by a 2-6
score, but rallied to overpower
his opponent in the next two sets,
6-3, 6-2. Ace Parker was halted
by Slater of Cornell, 3-6, 4-6. Cap
tain Charlie Bowman bowed to
Shaunessy, 2-6, 3-6.
Bill Lundelius dropped his
match to Svinstein of Cornell in
straight sets, 4-6, 5-7. A 1 Hend
ler lost to Dingle by 4-6, 0-6
scores. In the singles final Herb
Kra.ybill suffered his first singles
defeat of the season when Stein
of Cornell halted him in straight
sets, 6-2, .6-2.
In the doubles Hull and Parker
teamed to stop Slater and Dinnen,
6-0, 7-5, for the second and final
Penn State victory. Bowman and
Lundelius dropped their doubles
match to Cornell’s Stein and Sun
stein, 4-6, 4-6. In the final Hend
ler and Kraybill were defeated by
Fricke and Blatz by 7-5, 6-2
scores.
Orangemen Defeat
Lion Lacrosse Team
Once again Syracuse’s jinx over
visiting Penn State teams reared
its head when the Orange lacrosse
team grabbed a 9-7 victory from
Coach Thiel’s Lion stick-wielders
in Archibold Stadium Saturday.
Seeking to halt the win streak of
his Alma Mater, upon whose team
he once received All-American ac
claim, Coach Thiel had pinned his
hopes on a fast-moving attack that
had won for him against Cornell
last week.
However, with Tom Mitchell on
the sidelines with a leg injury re
ceived in the Cornell battle, the
Lion offense refused to hit its us
ual nace.
Captain Bill Ziegenfus and Jim
Gotwals, playing 60 minutes of
well-concentrated ball for Coach
Thiel, aided greatly >'n the Nittany
defense.
Scoring for the Lions was done
by Geoi’ge Pittinger, Jim Ritter,
and Mark Singley who threw iu
two goals each for the Thielman.
Bob Koch accounted for the-other.
Lion Golfers Win
Easily Over Bisons
Winning their second match of
the season, the Nittany golfers
easily downed Bucknell Univer
sity on the College links Saturday
by a score of 7 to 2. Sophomores
Dick Stephens and Bill Swan
came through with par 69’s for
the course for the low scores of
the meet.
Playing No. 2, Captain Chuck
Seebold was the only Lion to lose
■his match, dropping it to Britton,
1-up. All the other Penn State
men had their matches well in
haind with the exception of Bob
Wallace, playing No. 2 position.
Wallace defeated Ramage from
Bucknell, 1-up.
Stephens and Swan had little
difficulty in defeating their op
ponents by ai wide margin.’ Coach
Rutherford said he is expecting
more performances like the par
scores turned in by these two,
since the golfers can now get out
on the greens for plenty of-prac
tice.
Summary: Seebold lost to Brit
ton, 1-up, and Wallace defeated
Ramage by the srtme score. Penn
State lost best ball 1-up. Second
foursome: Stephens took Brogan,
7 and 6; Swan knocked off Van
derbilt, 7 and 5.
Penn State won best ball, 8
and 6. Third foursome: Dent
Holden stopped Fritz, 9 find 7,
while Jim Kramar topped John
ston, 7 and 6. Penn State took
best ball, 7 and 6.

Lion Nine Drops
2nd, Faces Navy
Anyone visiting New Beaver
Field’s tyaseball diamond yester
day afternoon would have seen
Coach Joe Bedenk putting his
baseball Lions through an inten
sive field practice to polish up
before a trip to Annapolis, Md.,
for a contest tomorrow afternoon.
Seven errors In a game against
Colgate in Hamilton, N. Y., Sat
urdays had a lot to do with an
11-8 defeat alt the hands of the
Red Raiders. Tied 8-8 going in
to the last half of the eighth inn
ing, the Lions fell apart as the
hosts brought three runs across
the plate.
Eddie Tuleya pitched four -inn
ings, and was relieved by Soph
omore Warren Pyer. Both hurl
ed well, giving up a total of seven
hits as the Lions collected nine,
but State’s poor defense marked
its doom. The Blue and White
record is now four wins and two
defeats, since -Syracuse pounded
out a 10-1 win Friday.
