!TAWAIIY 21, 19,60 Between (t:Zp• Nor. (c .l \ '`h? 47 v 4. •,.., The Lions With Elliot Krim Sports Editor Record Breakers The West Virginia , basketball squad set two records when , it played City. College in New York last week, but they were both on the negative side. In losing to C.C.N.Y. in Madison Square Garden, 90.55, the Mountaineers suffered th e worst defeat by a Patton.coach ed team since West Point plas tered them, 73-47, in 1945. The second record showed that last week% game was the poorest Garden showing for the IVloun taineera since DePaul trounced the Pattonmen in the 1945 Coach Gross has already upset the once-mighty Gold and Blue team in the Dixie Classic during Christmas vacation. It seems' that not even the veteran combina tion of Joe Duff and Ed Beach could keep the Mounts from having one of their most dis aStrous seasons in recent years. vorsity 'S' in football, soccer, ice lops The times in the Washington Star meet Saturday night were terrific: The milers were ap proaching and breaking the world's records. The relay teams were slicing seconds off every available mark and the two milers were approaching the times of their foreign competitors. Suddenly someone measured the track. It was 53 feet off! The officials went into a Confab and after an hour's' debate decided to leave the course as it was but to add' time to each event. Jim Gehrdes' time of 8.4 sec onds for the 70-yard high hurdles was accepted as a new track mark, but every distance over 100 yards was discounted. One official said, "In my 53 years of running this .event I've never seen anything like this." One' consolation is that the ne* , world's record for the 1 / 6 of a Mile and the mile and 7 / 8 was established and they should stand for a long, long time. Still 'No SliolA, It looks like the weatherinan just doesn't want to co-operate with ski Coach. Sherm Fdgg. Last.. week this' notice appear ed on the Rec Hall ski bulletin board, "Ski meet at Paul Smith's cancelled! Let's continue to pray for Snow. Maybe we can get some by next week. Keep working." Some of the members of the team, chafing at the bit from the lack of action, added a few lines to the notice. The first stated, "Weatherman's report: No snow for the month of Jamiary," The second was, "Crying towels available in locker room." , But the third took the prize. It was a notice calling a prayer meeting for all squad members in Sherm's office nightly at 5:00 p.m. And while the snowless skiers look, skyward, they continue their deep 'knee bends and push ups in anticipation of the white matter which will give them a chance for some competition before spring. Gehrdes, Relayers Compete in Boston Captain' Jim Gehrdes and the two relay teams will •be the lone Lion track team representatives' at the Knights of Columbus meet in Boston tonight. Coach Chick Werner's Nittany thinclads competed in the In quirer meet in Philadelphia last night bit the results were not available at the time the Col legian went to press. Comprising the mile relay team is Wil Lancaster, John Mc- Call, Guy Kay and Bill Lock hart. The two mile team is made up of Bob Parsons, Bill and Don Ashenfelter and Bob Freebairn. Pittsburgh, Western Maryland To Meet Lions Rec Hall Bill Features Boxing, Basketball/ Teams Acting Coach Eddie Sulkowski's mittmen will be out for their first win of the season in the opening contest of tonight's double. header at Rec Hall. The' boxing match will begin at 7 p.m. with the Lions pairing off with the Terrors of Western Maryland. At 8:30 coach •Firmer Cross' cagers will take the floor in the nightcap in quest of their seventh victory against four defeats. The Nittanies are favored but in the traditional battle with the. Pitt Panthers, no stock may be taken in comparative records. Costa and McCrossin Scoring Duel Expected Penn State will attempt to add Pitsburgh to its growing list of Rec Hall court victims tonight. Fresh from Wednesday's, 74 to 54, win over American U., the Nittarry passers will be shooting toward their seventh victory in 11 starts, To date Pitt has accum ulated a two won and five lost record. Tonight's battle may turn into a personal scoring dual between the Lion& 6-foot 6-inch Marty Costa and George McCrossin, 6-foot, 170-pound Panther cap tain. HOT HAND McCrossin registeked 35 points in his teain's 84 to 51 conquest of Grove City Wednesday night to approach' within two of the all-time Panther mark of 37 es tablished by Dodo Conterna. Cos ta's 32 points set the Rec Hall all-time individual standard the same night. Once the Lions get the ball into scoring position, Costa's hopes of outscoring his smaller rival will center mainly on the accurate . passing of Joe Tocci, Lou Lamle and Hardy Williams. Wednesday, Coach Elmer Gross had his fast break working to perfection as Toed, Williams and Lamle consistently got the down floor jump on a tall American U. outfit. Penn State should rate the nod in backboard superiority to night only four Pitt dribblers reaching the 6-foot 3-inch mark. Of these four only one, Ted Ger emsky, I has had preVious varsity experience. "Wl:' TM ALL" Nittany fans can expect to see Coach Doc "Win 'Em .A 11" Carl son employ his we'aving ligure eight. Carlson is one of the most colorful mentors in the game to day and his friendly feud with John Lawther, former Lion men tor, frequently turned the spec tators attention from the ball game to their bench maneuvers. Penn State-Pitt court relations are knotted at .35-all but in the time that Carlson has wielded the whip the Jungle , Cats have copped 29 while losing only 19. Gross has been alternating be tween Williams and Tay McMa han in the last three games and at the moment the 6-foot 6-inch McMahan appears to be In line for the starting role. TINY AVFONWARD With McMahen operating be side Costa at guard, Lou Laurie will move up with Tocci as fast break fore-runners. Lee Schisler will attempt to find the range again from the center slot. With Williams' at forward and McMahan on the sidelines, La mie will be shifted to guard, with Costa, as an added back board "lift." Carlson, who proposes the eat ing of ice cream before all games as a stem to fatigue, will counter with Lou Cecconi and Bill Yur ko at forwards, Bill Brehm or George Radosevich at center and McCrossin arid John Kendrick at guards.
