TUID3DAY, MARCH 1, 1949 Between . ~,, The i!IIN4-k-s y Lions s4;; - - v By Torn Morgan SPORTS RDITOR Mat Confab Scarcely audible above the hubbub of high-pitched high school hollering, Bob Higgins leaned back in his chair at Sat u r day's Clearfield - Bellefonte wrestling meet and shouted to a six-year -old boy barely three feet away: "Hello, what's your name?" The boy shrieked proudly above the crowd: "Jay Weiss." All of which prompted the vet eran Nittany football coach to exclaim, "Well, you're the son of the Clearfield coach," while mo tioning toward the Clearfield bench in Rec Hall. Then the Hig —who won a Penn State letter in wrestling in 1917—a sk e d the youngster: "And does your daddy want you to be a wrestler?" "Yes, sir," with emphasis. "Have you started wrestling yet?" Whereupon the six - year - old kid spoke up with an apologetic air: "No, my dad won't let me yet, so I just work out at prac tice." The import of this squib, we hasten to add, is that they start them young on the Clearfield mats. Jay Weiss—perhaps a Penn State wrestling star of 1964. From the Morg(ue) Johnny Jaffurs, Penn State football great of the early 40's, is the newly-elected football coach at Ithaca (N. Y.) high school. . . .

That's the story of the Nlttany Lion gym team which Saturday lost its third consecu tive dual meet, this time to the Naval Academy 49-47. Unbeaten in three years of col legiate competition prior to this year, the loss marked the third defeat in four starts, all at the hands of conference foes. They have yet to emerge victorious over an Eastern Intercollege op ponent. Captain Bill Bonsall, consis tent Nittany point-getter, again swept two firsts, the horizontal bar and side horse, and finished second on the rings to Navy's Reggie Machell. Bill Meade, for the first time this year, bested Rudy Valentino in tumbling and also placed sec ond to Moffet of the Academy on the parallel bars.

State College THE DAILY COLLEGIAN, STATE COLLEGE, PENNSYLVANIA Spartans Top Lion Ringmen By 5-3 Score A slugging Michigan State box ing aggregation exploded its pow er last Saturday to down the Lions, 5-3, in a gruelling eight bout meet at East Lansing, Mich igan. Only in the upper-weight class es were Nittanymen able to turn in victories. Most improved fight er on the Blue and White squad, according to Coach Houck, Jack Bolger annexed his third straight triumph in one of the bloodiest battles of the evening's fight agenda. For two rounds he battled Spartan Sonny Grandelius on even terms, then turning on the steam in the final canto, he cap tured a hard-earned triumph al tho u g h suffering a slight cut above the eye in the second round. Once again the unorthodox slugging of Paul "PQ" Smith paid rich dividends as the lanky Lion 165-pounder garnered the other single tally for the Blue and White. Meeting his sternest opposition to date, Johnny Benglian was held to a draw by Jack Flynn, a bully-type street-fighting slug ger in a disputed decision. Pat Helms, making his Inaug ural varsity appearance for the Lions, received a cut above his eye in the first round of the 155- pound contest. According to in tercollegiate rules the fight was declared a draw. Shaping up to last season's form, Chuck Drazenovich explod ed a flurry of blows in the last round against his opponent Art Hughlett to drive the Spartan heavy against the ropes on num erous occasions, but the second round knockdown which Hugh lett scored provided the margin of victory for the Michigan Stater.

Gehrdes Nips !C4-A Mark Not one Nittany runner was able to take a first place position in the Intercollegiate 4-A meet Saturday as Michigan State cap tured the tourney crown. Even Jim Gehrdes, who prior to this race was unbeaten in col legiate competition on the boards, last by inches to the Spartans' Horace Smith. Although he failed to capture the title, the Altoona hurdler set a new Intercollegiate 4-A meet record by racing over the timbers in :07.2 seconds. In the finals, Smith also was forced to the :07.2 mark by Gehrdes. A third hurdler, Bill Mitchell, of Georgetown also hit :07.2 in a preliminary heat and together with Gehrdes and Smith, will be a co-holder of the new IC4-A record. In the final 60-yard hurdle race, Gehrdes nipped the third hurdle and just missed the collegiate crown as the Michigan State tim ber topper nosed him out at the tape. Horace Ashenfelter, making his debut of the indoor season, ran a 9:25 two-mile, but he was no match for his collegiate nerve. Don Black of Rhode Island, who circled around the board track in 9:18. One of the few bright spots on the Blue and White program was the 4:24 mile mark set by Bob Freebairn. This was the first mile the Philadelphia trackman ever ran, and his time was just 11 sec onds off George Wade's winning 4:13. Vic 'Fritts, although he failed to place in the high jump, cleared 6-feet, 1%-inches in the high jump and John Bates placed first in his mile heat in 4:32. The Lion mile relay team ran a very slow race and failed to qualify. Jack St. Claire in the two mile, .Wil Lancaster in the dash and Doug Scherer also missed the qualifying times and distances in their events.
