Oren Defense
Eastern Gym Tide

they captured last season, twelve Lion gymnasts will leave today
for Syracuse, N. Y., to engage Syracuse University at Archbold
gymnasium, 8 o'clock tomorrow night.
The Lions will be seeking their second win of the 1949 season
and first against an Eastern Intercollegiate opponent.
They copped their inaugural
meet against Michigan estate by
3 61-51 count at East Lansing
Monday night.
Tomorrow's meet looms as a
contest between two evenly
matched teams, each of which
figures to be strong in at least one
event.
MINOTTI
In the rope clim'3 event Leo
Minotti, who tied the Eastern
record
. f or the rope climb when
he scaled the 20 feet in 3.8 seconds
against Army two weeks ago,

edge in that competition.

the ropes, however, the Lions' Bill

All in Knowing How...
Casual Fans Find Scoring
Hard; Mathematics Easy
By Ed Watson
Wrestling scoring to the average fan is a highly intricate system.
But to the rabid mat follower, the procedure is fairly simple.
This year, for the first time, the boxing and wrestling teams
are printing programs for home meets which explain the scoring
methods of each sport. The first of these was put into circulation at
the boxing wrestling double
header with Western Maryland
and Army January 29.
LENGTH
A collegiate wrestling match is
nine minutes in length, and is di
vided into three periods of three
minutes each. If a fall occurs dur
ing either the first or third period,
the bout is ended. However, if a
fall takes place in the second
period, only the amount of time
that the fall accounted for will be
allowed in the third period.
For instance, in the Army meet,
Lion heavyweight Homer Barr
pinned West Point's unbeaten
Bennie Davis in 1:41 of the second
period. That meant only 1 minute
and 41 seconds were to be
wrestled in the third period. But
two seconds before that time was
Mermen---

ing race of the day was the 150-
yard backstroke won by State's
Rod Waters in 1:51.6. Until the
last turn he fought evenly with
Dickinson's Jim Hopkins but on
the last length, Waters pulled
ahead and finished first. Bob Con
rad, swimming in his first com
petitive race the backstroke
event, placed third, a length be
hind Hopkins, who had previous
ly won this event against Lehigh
and Franklin and Marshall.
Penn State scored heavily,
registering a first in the 400-yard
free-style relay in addition to the
50, 100, diving and backstroke
-vents.
Besides piling up points in the
five events in which they won
firsts, the Blue and White natators
scored heavily by taking second
and third places in the other
lvents.
Next Wernesday the Nittany
tankmen will try to add victory
number three when they take on
Franklin and Marshall in Glenn
'and pool at 8 p.m.

up, Barr pinned Davis for the
second time.
A fall adds five points toward
the team score. Even though Barr
threw the Cadet twice, Penn State
still only received five points. But
if a fall has not been scored at
the end of nine minutes, the win
ner is determined by using a point
system in scoring.
SCORING
A decision win tacks three
points to the team total, but two
points are awarded each team if
the combatants finish with the
same number of points.
A takedown, gaining a position
of advantage or control from a
neutral or free position, means
two points in the individual bout.
If the grappler on the bottom
moves to a point of control, he Is
awarded two points. This Is
known as a reverse.
An escape, which counts one
point, occurs when a wrestler
breaks away from his opponent's
advantage and gains a neutral
nosition.
NEAR FALL
Two points is also given the
wrestler who manipulates a near
fall by holding his foe's shoulders
to the mat for less than two
seconds, or near the mat for two
seconds. In contrast to this, a fall
—which gives the team total an
addition of five points takes
place when an opponent's should
ers are held to the mat for the
prescribed time of two seconds.
If a fall has not resulted after
three full periods are wrestled,
time advantage is taken into con
sideration in determining the in
-lividual winner. Time advantage
k the difference between the total
time each contestant has been on
ton of his foe. If one to two min
utes time advantage is earned.
"ne point is awarded. If more
than two minutes of time advan
tage is procured. two points is
riven that wrestler.
In addition, the referee may
nenali7n a wrestler for the use of
illegal holds, or for stalling. Tre
may award one or two points de
pending on the sneeific violation.
PENALTY
In the Johnny Reese-JIM Fog
arty match at Syracuse, neither
matman could gain an advantage
in the first period. At the begin
ning of the second period, Reese
was on top. Fogarty earned one
point by escaping shortly after
wards, and neither could obtain
a takedown.
Reese began the last period on
the bottom, but was soon in a.
neutral position after escaping.
Again, no takedown took place.
As a result, the match ended in
a 1-1 tie, for there was not enough
time advantage by either grap
pler to warrant any additional
points.
