Houck, it is said, has won more of
them in the locker rooms, where
the outcome is thrashed out, than
any other player.
Parody
Speaking of Houck and the
coaches' locker room let us end
this discourse with excerpts from
"Special Handball Rules for Leo
Houck," which are pasted to a
locked door with adhesive tape:
"1) Thou shalt not bump thy op
ponent into the wall.
"2) Thou shalt not intimidate
thy opponent in the locker room,
either before or after the match.
"3) Thou shalt not start an ar
gument to obtain an illegal rest
position.
"4) Thou shalt not encourage
thy partner to join with thee in
juggling the score.
"5) Thou shalt not procrastinate
when other members of the four
some are ready to play.
"6) Thou shalt not give dirty
looks to thy partner, nor shalt
thou insinuate that he is losing all
the points.
—Signed, The Committee."

At Cleveland
Stone Nips Lion Ace;
Relay Team Third
After running the fastest two
mile race in his career Friday
night and another outstanding
two-mile event Saturday, Track
Captain Horace Ashenfelter will
discard his indoor shoes and aim
for collegiate victories on the out
door cinder track.
STONE
The Lion distance runner, who
a few short months ago was limp
ing around the campus with his
foot in a cast, placed second be
hind his former teammate, Curt
Stone, in the Cleveland Knights
of Columbus meet and then plac
ed fourth in the Chicago Relays
the following night.
Ash turned in a 9:10.4 and Stone
9:09.1 in the Cleveland race.
Jim Gehrdes, State's excellent
hurdler, won the preliminary heat
of the 45-yard hurdles in 5.5 sec
onds for a new record. However,
he encountered tough luck in the
semi-final heat when he toppled a
hurdle, finishing third and mis
sing the finals at Cleveland.
In the Chicago Relays, Gehrdes
finished fourth behind Harrison
Dillard, Baldwin-Wallace; Craig
Dixon, UCLA, and Bill Mitchell,
Georgetown. Dillard tied his own
world mark over the five-hur
dle 60- yard highs, covering the
distance in 7.1 seconds.
The Nittany two-mile relay
team ran third, turning in a 7:52.3
time, in a close race which was
won by Syracuse in 7:51.6. Michi
gan placed second with 7:52.
Bob Auman started off the quar
tet with a 2:00.2 half, Paul Koch
ran a 1:58 half, John McCall
chalked up a 1:57 and Mitch Wil
liams ran the anchor in 1:57.1
LL SALUTE
Senior Team with Experience
A Novelty, Says Coach Thiel
"Having a senior team with as much experience as we have here at Penn State this year is a
pleasant novelty." Thusly, with an air of confidence, spoke the man who will guide the Lions'
lacrosse destinies this year, Nick Thiel.
"Besides this year's team being on the average a big, fast lot, they have poise and experience,"
he declared.
Sitting behind a cluttered desk in Rec Hall, the veteran mentor of 14 years of lacrosse warfare
at State was commenting on the
approaching seasonal opener
three and one-half weeks away.
"We've been working mostly
on conditioning so far and the re
sults have been favorable. Our
biggest headache has been late
classes and for that reason we are
starting Saturday practice ses
sions between 1:30 and 4:30 p.m."
SOPHS
Thiel stated that because of his
varsity's experience he and his
assistant coaches were devoting
more time than usual to the de
velopment of his sophomore can
didates.
The jayvee squad also boasts
a rugged formation and it will be
difficult to sift out the so-called
"wheat from the chaff." It is not
inconceivable that most of the
Lion cubs opening the card
against Navy April 23 will consist
of stickwielders from Swarth
more Center.
Glancing over his potential
starting lineup against the Quak
ers in Philadelphia, Thiel cited

Lion Heavy To Compete
in NCAA Mat Tournament
Homer Barr, Penn State's Eastern heavyweight king, will meet
the cream of the nation's unlimited crop in this weekend's NCAA
tournament at Ft. Collins, Colorado.
Three members of the United States' Olympic team are entered
in the heavyweight class. Dick Hutton, Oklahoma A&M, heads the
list. Hutton was National collegiate champion in 1947 and 1948, and
was the number one heavy on the
Olympic squad.
Bob Maldepn, Michigan State,
and Vern Gagne, Minnesota, are
other topnotchers in Barr's divi
sion. IVlaldegan placed second in
the NCAA'S and the final' Olym
pic trials, while Gagne was the
titlist at 191 pounds last
year.
In the Olympic tryouts, Gagne
ained the runner-up spot behind
:Tenry Wittenburg, New York AC.
Wittenburg captured the Ctlym

John Nehoda of Easton as the
most likely goalie bet. The loss
of last year's captain and all-Am
2rican net tender, "Wild Bill"
Hollenbach, will be felt keenly.
However Nehoda, a regular in
1945 before entering the Army,
is counted upon to do a good job.
