The Lions kept forging ahead in

on the front line and dropped a

Colgate made a feeble effort in
this period with a one-handed shot
by Bob Cathrall giving them their

Fishbeck and Dewey made fouls.
It was a very clean game with
the combined Lion-Raider foul to
tals setting an all season low for

The referee hollered "wres

After a brief—exceptionally
.brief—sl-secend scramble, the
Teacher found himself flat on
lets back, counting the window
yianes in Hec Hall's ceiling.
What's more, there was nothing
ho .-could do about changing the
situation. There'was Hall reclining
on top, and holding down his man
about as comfortably as a tired
5 iveter would a studio couch.
Hall, whose father, incidentally,
was a member of one of Penn
f! fate's earliest wrestling teams,
won the team cash pool for the
quickest fall, edging his team
mate, Bob Morgan, by 23 seconds.
The only Lion casualty was

Home Win
Hall, Blind 165-Pounder,
Throws Opponent in 0:51
Coach Paul Campbell’s matmen
went into practice yesterday after
noorr for their meet with Prince
ton on Saturday, after defeating
Lock Haven State Teachers Col
iege on Saturday afternoon by a
score of 31-5 in a meet which was
paced by blind 165-pounder Chuck
Hall, who pinned his man in 51
seconds of the first period with a
double bar arm and body press.
. Hall, in his first bout for Penn
State, .met George Kauffman of
Lock Haven, won the takedown,
and with the capability of a well
experienced wrestler, put his op
ponent’s shoulders to the mat in
what seemed like a lightning bout;
The only bout which the Lions
lost during, the afternoon’s
matches was in the 175-pound
class, when Michael Flanigan of
the State Teachers College demon
strated a half-nelson and body
press to Fred Conrad in 2 minutes
and 42 seconds of the third period;
The fall accounted for the only
points the grapplers from Lock
Haven scored in the meet.
' In the 121-pound bout, in which
the Blue and White’s Bob Lowrie
met William Hoy of Lock Haven,
the decision was gained by Lowrie
by a count of 6-1. Lowrie obtained
his points by a reverse, near fall,
and -4 minutes and 26 seconds of
riding time. Hoy won his point in
the second period when he escaped
from Lowrie’s clutches.
Charlie Ridenour, Penn State’s
1942 EIWA 121-pound champion,
scored his second fall of the qut
rent wrestling campaign when he
defeated Clement Link of Lock
Haven in 1 minute and 40 seconds
of the first period with a body
scissors and half-nelson. Before
the fall, -Ridenour had already
gained four points, having won
the takedown and tallied a near
fall.
Racking up another five points
for Penn State, 136-pounder Sam
Harry, 1942 EIWA 136-pound
champ, tired Francis Johnson of
Lock Haven with a cradle hold in
1 minute and 59 seconds of -the
first period.
One minute and 21 seconds after
the start of the second period in
the 145-pound class proved fatal
to Mitchell Flagel of Lock Haven,
who was pinned to the mat with a
body press by State’s able A 1 Crab
tree. Crabtree, a member of last
year’s .varsity squad, had already
scored five points with two take
downs and an escape when he pin
ned his man.
Red-headed 155-pounder Gard
ner Lindzev, a newcomer to the
1943 Lion squad, proved his mat
ability against Lock Haven’s Phil
lip Kif t in a battle which was one
sided throughout. Lindzey won the
decision by a score of 6-0, having
won a takedown and a reverse,
complete with a time advantage of
eight minutes and 20 seconds. ’
. The last bout of the afternoon
was won by State’s heavyweight,
Bob Morgan, in 1 minute and 14
seconds of the first period, as he
pinned Lock Haven’s John Plum
mer with a double bar arm and
body press.
Coach Campbell’s team travels
to Princeton, N. J., on Friday,
where they will meet the grap
plers of Princeton University on
Saturday.
