THE SPORTS STAFF Mermen Seek Army Victory It looks like the Nittany mermen are in for another tough afternoon as they meet West Point in the Cadet pool tomorrow but a couple of the Galbraithmen may come through with their first season wins. Leigh Woehling, who took a fast second spot behind Midshipman Bob Cowell as the latter set a new Academy record at Annapolis last weekend, will probably be , the chOice to capture the 150-yard backstroke event. Johnny Milan, the other Penn State second place winner against the Midshipmen, will be shooting for a first against Army's Mangan in the 200-yard breaststroke. The Nittany butterfly specialist did about 2.46 for the distance against Navy and may be able to cut that down a couple of seconds to win. over Army. Only - recently able to• show this wares On the board, Doc Ridings should improve his 54-point show ing and snatch the fancy dive against the Cadets. Paced by Bill Glynn, who cap tured both the 100 and 220 free style events when Army beat the Princeton ,swimming team last week, the Grey and Gold should star in the freestyle races. Pete Fries will be a likely starter for the State team in the medley relay and 50-yard freestyle event: Bob Zusman, winner of two third places in the Navy pool, will swim again in the 220 and 440 dis tance events, but will have espe cially tough competition from Glynn in the 220 race. Valentino, frosh diver who has been working out with Doc Rid ings on the Nittany board during the week, has showed steady im provement and probably will make the trip.
