Lions Clip Eagles, 63-50
Milt Simon, Penn State's dynamic 5-foot 9-inch guard, tied the Rec Hall scoring mark last
night by chalking up 23 points as the Lions went on to trample American University, 63-50, in one
of State's highest scoring games of the season.

Happy Day
Few people are happier this
week at Penn State than Bill
Gutteron, coach of the varsity
swimming team which drowned
a 12-meet Pitt win streak in
Glennland Pool.
But for all his excitement
over the Lions' third straight
victory and fourth in six meets,
Gutteron declares:
"If you think I'm happy, you
should see the boys on the team."
Good indication of the Lions'
excitement over their 38-37
triumph is the fact that they
dunked Coach Gutteron and
Head Manager Bob Bench in
the water after the meet.
The Nittany swim squad has
progressed steadily and regis
tered one of the top sports
achievements in these parts this
year by edging Pitt.
To help down the Panthers,
Gutteron resorted to strategy.
He made several switches in
his lineup, which saw certain
nate tor s swimming events
other than their regular ones.
As he explains it:
"In one case I changed Bill
Schildmacher from his regular
100-yard free style to the 220-
yard free style. This helped give
the team more balance for this
particular meet."
Coach Gutteron praised team
members for their cooperation
in switching to other events.
In Schlidmacher's case a slight
bit of irony entered, since—in
his absence--Cass Borowy was
clocked in a record 55.3 seconds
for the 100, Schildmacher's spe
cialty. This is a new Penn State
varsity mark for the 100 free
style in Glennland Pool and bet
ters Schildmacher's 55.5, the pre
vious record.
Although Schildmacher had
twice this year broken the 100
record, his chance of staging a
counterattack upon Borowy's
Glennland Pool mark is nil.
The reason: No more home
meets.
Fencers Seek
Win at Temple
Penn State's fencers will trav
el to Temple this weekend to try
to rebound. They fell before a
tricky N.Y.U. crew in New York
last weekend, 19-8, but not before
the Lions gave a hardy account
of themselves against the highly
touted East coast squad.
State lost the foil, 7-2, and
saber, 8-1, but managed to eke
out a 5-4 victory in epee compe
tition, with fact action by Arthur
Ward and Bill Fairchok who
grabbed two wins each against
one loss.
Summary:
Foil: Harry IleCarty, op-captain. I win,
2 losses: John Koch*lke, 0 wins, 3 Imam ;
Rola Meier, 1 win, 2 losses.
Epee: Bolt Wald, I win, 2 losses; Ar

State parlayed a strong second
half surge into its fifth win of
the season against eight defeats.
For the denuded Eagles the loss
represented their seventh against
fifteen triumphs.
State grabbed a 14-10 first
period lead in a see-saw opening
round that saw the lead switch
six times, and then upped the
ante to 32-23 at the pre-inter

Skiers Third
At Syracuse
Lion skiers brought a success
ful close to their current cam
paign with their best perform
ance of the year, placing third in
a field of five in the abbreviated
Syracuse Winter Carnival held at
Syracuse, N. Y., over the week
end. They finished a scant four
points behind first-place Cornell
and trailed second-place Syra
cuse by three.
The rest of the meet was can
celled when a bright sun melted
the snow, so that the outcome
was officially based on the show
ing of the 'teams in the cross
country event, which had been
run off before the sun made its
appearance.
Cross-country team members
were Sterling Bankert, Captain
Cliff Carts ,Bill . Graf and Herb
Wahl whose fine performance
enabled the Lions to finish so
unexpectedly high in the final
tally.
The teams placed as follows:
I—Cornell, 92 points.
2—Syracuse, 91 points.
3—Penn State, 88 points.
4—Rensselaer Polytechnic In
stitute, 82 points.
s—Union, 62 points.
