Lion Fencers Yield
Match to Philly

was edged, 14-13, by the veter
an Philadelphia Fencers' Club at
RIN Hall Saturday.
"In winning the epee and saber
matches, 5-4 and 7-2, respective
ly, the Lion fencers showed con
siderable strength. Their 8-1 loss
in the foil match wasn't indica
tive of how well they performed,
since they dropped seven of the
five-point matches by scores of
5-4.
The only Lion fencer to win all
three of his bouts was Dick Dyer,
with saber. Rolf Wald and Art
Ward, epee, and John Richards
and co-captain Paul Younkin,
saber, captured two of three.
Co-captain Harry McCarty, foil,
and Bill Fairchok, epee, each won
one bout; John Kochalka, foil,
lost three; Ralph Meier, foil, lost
two; Frank Philippbar, foil, sub
stituting for Meier's third bout,
lost one.

THE DAILY COLLEGIAN, STATE COLLEGE, PENNSYLVANIA
season Bill Gutteron's mermen
boast wins over Temple and
Dickinson, with defeats at the
hands of Cornell and Syracuse
balancing the scales.
Cornell and Syracuse are two
of the strongest teams in the
East, while F&M is just a notch
below them in the ratings.
In their last outing, the Diplo
mats lost a close match to Lehigh,
currently protecting a 12-meet
victory streak, 39-36. Coach Bill
Gutteron has been working the
team every day, and with the
added experience and confidence
gained in the Lions' win over•
Dickinson he expects the meet to
be a close one.
Gutteron is planning to have
several faces new to Penn State
audiences in his lineup tonight.
One will definitely be Vic Lynch,
swimming in the 50-yard free
style with Cass Borowy. Against
Dickinson, Lynch performed in
actual competition for the first
time and finished second behind
Borowy. Because of this fine
showing he will be a starter to
night.
Of interest to divers Cal Folms
bee, seeking his fifth straight sea
son dual win, and Rudy Valen
tino is the addition of a new set
of diving boards, which will be
used for the initial time tonight.

The Lion Cub wrestling team
closes its season today against
the Lock Haven Teachers Col
lege juniors in a meet at Rec
Hall at 7 p.m.

first decision in three starts on
Saturday, as a powerful Lehigh
Jayvee team clamped a 25-3
score on the Blue and White.
Dick "Bucky" Edinger won his
third straight bout in the 136-
pound division, and thus averted
a whitewashing for the Nittany
understudies. '
Coach Charlie Ridenour has
announced that his lineup will
be primarily the same as the one
that faced Lehigh.
The summary:
121 lbs.—Capt. Welliver (L)
pinned Dux in 2:01 with a cradle.
