Lion Cagers Test Termple Owls Tomorrow
Rutgers Refutes Lowly Rating,
Swamps Ragged State Five, 64-51
By RAY KOEHLER
Penn State's mystifying . cagers will view with some trepidation
the invasion of Rec Hall by Temple's Owls tomorrow night after
being beaten by Rutgers, 64 to 51; Saturday—the Lions 'worst show
*
ing of the season before a home gallery.
It's small wonder if Coach Elmer Gross is scratching his head
in a perplexed manner today after Saturday's debacle in which his
mixed lineup of vets and rookies
looked like anything but the
team which had previously set a
modern Rec Hall team record by
trouncing West Virginia, 82 to 52.
By way of comparison Temple
also clamped down on the Moun
taineers Saturday with an 82 to
48 win in Convention Hall as Ike
Borsavage scored 42 points
NO FIRE •
In the past few games local
patrons have gotten used to
watching the Nittany courtsmen
start out slowly and then sudden
ly catch fire. But Saturday night
somebody evidently forgot to
bring the'match, for as some 5200
Lion followers waited• impatient
ly for the ragged State offense
to start clicking the New Jersey
iteS cut loose with a withering
burst of second-half set shots to
record their seventh win against
fourteen losses.
Even though Scarlet Coach Don
White withheld his ailing forward
attraction , Bucky Hatchett,
through almost the first seven
minutes, Rutgers had the game
under full control.
The Scarlet jumped off to a
quick 8 to 3 lead before the Lion
forces could rally and tie the
game at 9 to 9. With guards
"Sleepy" Don Parsons and Ray
Van Cleef hitting from the out
side Rutgqrs built up a half-time
edge of 28' to 20. At one time dur
ing the first-half the visitors held
a 14-point 27 to 13 bulge.
GREAT OFFENSE
It has been a long time since a
Rec Hall crowd has seen the likes
of the offense•. generated' by the
Scarlet the second-half as they
hit on a phenomenal 44 per cent
of their shots, at• one time comb
ing - the cords with 'll out of 25
tries.
At the start of the second-half
Lion Gdard Marty Costa sank a
one-hand toss and for more then
11 minutes thereafter not a Nit
tany dribbler came even close to
dropping a field goal.
Jack Storer obtained State's
second twin-pointer of the half
with nine minutes to go bid by
that time Rutgers, lead by Hatch
ett, had piled up a 49 to 29 lead.
In the last 2 minutes the Lions
went on a belated scoring spree
with 14 points .while the Scarlet
attempted to•#reeze the ball.
HATCHETT HILL
In the individual department
Rutgers' 6-foot '3
-inch 220-pound
Hatchett managed to outplay the
taller State defenders even with
a painful back injury. The poW
erfully-built fluid-m of ion for
ward tallied 20 points with com
parative ease on six field goals
and 8 out of 9 foul conversions.
, ,
• Hatchett received plehtY of
scoring assistance from reserve
Van Cleef, a sharp-eyed, long
range artist who started in, his
place.
By caging 12 tallies for Penn
State before fouling out in the
second half, Costa, was able to
creep to within 22 counters of
cracking the all-time Lion indi
vidual scoring mark of 260 points
set by Jack Biery in 1947.
Pre-game odds had given the
Pennsylvania collegians from a
five to nine point edge but as
Coach White explained after the
game, "We've been under-rated
all season. I've said all along that
we should have won 19 games
this year and with a little luck
we could have done it.

Stone Defeats
Old Foe, Wilt
BY JOE BREU
Penn State's graduate aces
stole the spotlight in Nittany
track action 'at, the National AAU
meet in New York City, Satur
day night.
Curt Stone turned in the best
effort of - the night when he
soundly defeated Fred. Wilt in
a thrilling three mile race. In
addition, Hora c e Ashenfelter
finished second in the mile with
John Twomey, of the Illinois
A. C., and who trains at Penn
State, third. Track Captain Jim
Gehrdes captured third in the 60
yard high hurdles:
SECOND TIME
Stone's victory was his second
of the year over Wilt, the FBI
agent who has generally been
having things his own way this
season. The lead changed hands
five times in the last two laps
but when Stone turned on a
burst .of speed in the backstretch
of the final lap he left the be
spectled Wilt in his dust.
Winning by 11 yards, Stone
turned in the very fast time of
13:57.3. Viljo Heino of Finland
was third.
Lions Dick Spiese and Joe Mir
enzi finished one, two in the P-
Bars, Spiese racking up a 252-
point total. With only two • per
formers in this event, however,
the locals were forced to hand
Navy three scoring positions, and
won the event only, 10-6.
Navy took the rings, 9-7, when
Captain Bob Schneider grabbed
off ,a first. Bill Hendrickson of
State was second and Harry
Grieves third, but the meet score
was 46% to 33% and Navy was
mathematically "in."
Valentino's bouncing-ball tumb
ling continued to astound Rec
Hall gym fans and impress the
judges. Turn in g back-flips in
amazingly rapid sequence and
perfectly executing several new
full body twists, Rudy finished 51
points ahead of second-place Ma
son. Kreidler scored third with a
212, one point ahead of the Navy's
top performer, Gaske. • •
Baseball Managers Ilh A
Captain Jim• Gehrdes, the only
member of. Coach Chick Wer
ner's .Lion thinclads entered in
the meet, finished behind Har
rison Dillard and Craig Dixon
in the hurdles test. Dillard cov
ered the course in 7.3 seconds.
ASH SECOND
The -mile was won by Ire
landis John Joe Barry in 4:11.5.
Ashenfelter finished in second
place in 4:12.2. It was the first
time this season that . Ash had
run in anything less than two
miles.
A special two mile race will
be run this week at' the 1.C4-A
meet with .the first three men
in. the mile and the first three
in the three mile at the NAAU
entered.

Gymnasts Prep for Syracuse
After Tough Loss to Middies
Things don't figure to get any easier for Coach Gene Wettstone's
Nittany gymnasts this week.
_ The Nittanies are next-slated to tangle muscles with one of the
strongest gym teams in the East, Syracuse. All the Orange did to
Navy two weeks ago was slam them 64-32, outscoring the Sailors
:n four of six events.
Just by way of comparison, the Lions lost to those same Mid-
shipmen, 49% to 46%, in an un
impressive dual meet at Rec Hall
last Saturday.
State was able to take only two
events, the tumbling and the par
allel-bars. Rudy Valentino, com
pletely outclassing all competi
tion to score a 279, and Howard
Mason and Bob Kreider finishing
two, three, treated Coach Wett
stone to a alam, 13-3, in tumbling.
However, the meet was lost be
fore that- event started.
Dave Benner's disappointing
performance on the side-horse
handed that first event to the
Navy's Chuck Lindley and gave
the visitors an 8-8 tie in an event
the Lions could have taken.
When State dropped the high-•
bar competition, 12 1 / 2 ' to 3 1 / 2 , with
only Ned Foster showing good
form, then lost the robe-clirrib,
11-5, with Lee Perna, the lone
Lion to crack the top three, State
was practically out of the run
ning.
Buzzel of the Navy took the H
bar with just an average perform
ance. Mary Schenker won the
rope-climb for the visitors with
a top-notch ascent in 3.7 seconds.
Perna's time was 3.9.
