Foreign-Born Meyer Tutors Lion Fencers By Fred Holly One of the most interesting and least publicized sport personalities on the Penn State campus is Ar thur Meyer, coach of the Blue and White fencing team since 1941. Meyer, who is associate profes sor of forestry at the College, learned his fencing at the Tech nical Institute at Zurich, Switz erland and competed against out standing fencers from France, Italy and Hungary in internation al meets. . Born in Interlaken, Switzer land, Meyer is an alumnus of the School of Forestry at Zurich where he also did graduate work. He came to the United States in 1934, worked in Washington for a while and then visited forestry schools throughout the country. It was while Meyer was teach ing and doing research work for the Mexican Forest Service in 1937 that he received an offer to join the Penn State faculty. He accepted and became instructor Continued on page seven • Tnemyojne* COLLEGE GRILL Opposite P.O. on Beaver • Spelled backwards THURSDAY, MARCH 31, 1949 Phi Delts Win IM Mat Title Continued from page one Pierce on how to apply a pinning hold. McDermott made it a perfect Phi Deli evening when he ac cepted forfeit over Chuck Beatty who hurt his shoulder in spring football practice. INDIES Buzzy Riss, former high school state champ from Dußois, edged out Dick Barker in a 175-pound independent squeaker that almost went the other direction. Riss ap parently had the duel in hand through the first two periods, leading 4-2 at the rest, but Bar ker came back with a sensational attempt at a fall to knot the count and force the time-keepers to give Riss the bout by a time advantage, a 5-4 decision. A tiger-wild Mike Rubino from Alpha Phi Delta, who showed fans everything there is to see in wrestling holds, fought to a 4-0 decision win over Bill Eggert, Sigma Nu, in the rip-snorting 175-pound fraternity class. The pair started with a comparatively slow first frame with Eggert hav ing the advantage if any with two near take-towns that landed his opponent off the mat. But from there on it was all Rubino. The strong-armed Mike rolled and tossed Egg like a de stroyer in a hurricane, but couldn't muster the strength to tie the Sigma Nu battler down. Rubino won with a take-down, an escape and time advantage. RODGERS The Rodgers twins from Phi Gamma Delta split their ver dicts. Charley took John Lang staff, Sigma Alpha Epsilon, to camp with a 29-second pin in the third period of their fight, as he applied a half nelson and a crotch. Fred lost to Fred Shiha deh, last season's 128 - pound champ, 7-4, for the 135-pound crown. Ed Clark and Bob Hazen, a pair of independents who proved they weren't in the tournament for their health, won rousing vic tories by falls and copped the 128- and 145-pound indie cham pionships respectively. Clark pinned Morris Weisman in 1:13 of the first period, while Hazen applied the holds after 38 seconds of the third stanza to Cy Troyan. CAVANAUGH Delta Upsilon's Vince Cava naugh grabbed the 145-pound fraternity title, slamming Sandy Cameron, Beta Theta Pi, with a half-nelson and inside crotch in a minute and 37 seconds of their second period. Phil Cloud, Pi Kappa Phi 155- pounder, turning the tables on John Hull, Beta Theta Pi, won a 5-2 decision and the crown in his class. Cloud was leading 3-2 with both men on their feet in the final period. A take-down for Hull would have meant the vic tory since neither man had time advantage. Realizing his position, Hull dove for a leg and in a despera tion move, Cloud slid over his adversary, gaining the upper position and two points for a take-down to keep possession of his road to victory. Mario R es tif o, independent, capitalized on a case of Bill Kray bill chickenpox to win the indie 135-title by forfeit. Buy a Bike To keep in trim Also helps To keep up vim W. F. KRUMRINE 433 W.
