WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARt 22, 1950 Lions Attempt Comeback Against Temple Tonight The weather outside may be down around the zero mark, but in Rec Hall, at least, tonight's readings call for hot and humid with occasional storms when the Temple Owls collide with Penn State on the boards at 8 o'clock. The Templars represent a hot front moving in froni the East who can lay claim to a 13 and 8 season record and who are fresh from an 82 to 46 lacing of West Virginia in Convention Hall, Saturday. The Owls boast plenty of thun der in their attack--the newest fair-haired boy being 6-foot 7- inch Ike Borsavage whose 42 points against the Mountaineers erased both a Hall record and a Temple individual high record. RECORDS MAY FALL It doesn't require any too long a stretch of the,imagination to see where two records may again be smashed tonight. Borsavage needs only 15 markers to sur pass the season high of 342 set by Nelson Bobb in 1947-'4B, while lanky Marty Costa, the steady Lion veteran who has poured 239 points through the rim in 18 games, needs but 21 points to tie Penn State's all-time one-season record of 260 set by Jack Biery in 1947. Borsavage's feat enabled him to climb into the fourth position in the Philadelphia District's col legiate scoring race. Two places below him, and right behind Herb, Lyon of Penn, sophomore flash Bill Mlkvy continues to go like a house afire with 310,uoints. Johnny Ballots, veteran guard of the Temple array, is in 11th place with 224 counters for a 10.7 per game average. VANDERBILT DEFEATED To date Temple has accounted, for 1207 points in 21 games for a scoring average of more than 57 points a game. The Owls' impres sive record shows wins over Van derbilt, 55 to 35; Muhlenberg, 56 to 49; Duke, 59 to 49; Army, 58 to 52; NYU, 50 to 45 and Manhattan, 73 to 63. Last year the Lions rang .up .a surprisingly easy 52 Ito 41 win in Rec Hall as Temple was forced to play without Nelsqn Bobb, Ed Lerner and Borsavage. Previous ly in Philly the Templars had won 56 to 46. STILL AFTER No. II Once again alining toward win No. 11, Penn. State will have- to shake a bad case of second-half blues and big-name jitters. The Lions have dropped four of their last five games. After winding up the half of their sched , :le with a creditable mark of 8 wins against 4 losses, they now stand at 10 and 8. After 'Temple, the Blue and White finds only four more scraps on the docket including, Colgate, Syracuse and West Virginia, on the road, and a home finale against Georgetown Tonight's lineups .Penn State Marty Costa G Lou Graboyes Lou Lamie G John Ballots Lee Schisler C Ike Borsavage H'dy Williams F Bill Mlkvy Joe Toed F Dave Werther First Tourney The first intercollegiate wres tling tourney was held at the University of Pennsylvania in 1904.

Ever since a day two years ago at West Point when he replaced a faltering team-mate in the saber division of a fencing match against the Cadets, Paul Younkin has not only topped the saber, men in the Nittany Valley, but ranked a mong the best in the East. As a sophomore at Penn State in 1947, Paul was ion vinced by his room-mate to try out for fencing. a sport much less glamorous than such other winter indoor activities as basketball, boxing and wres tling. "Phad never , seen any fencing kd had little Ate. soon made the squad and got his big chance in the West Point epi sode. Replacing his team-mate, he won both of his matches. After -that, the dark-haired forestry major fenced first team for tile rest of the season. An, un foreseen accident to the then top notch operative in the Lions' sa ber bracket gave Paul a berth in the 1948 NCAA finals. In •practice shortly before the tournament opened. Younkin accidentally drove his saber 'through. the mask of • State's • No. 1 man, sending him to the hospital and right out of the • NCAA finals. Paul. was .forced to take over and came through with two vic tories in his first two starts, but lost the rest to powerful national competition. . Last year, as a junior, Youn- • kin won ten .and lost eight in dital meets and broke even in 12 matches in the Eastern Inter collegiate matches. Temple • This season Younkin has a rec ord of eight wins and a lone up set defeat. He is again aiming for laurels in either EaStern or Na tional competition.

By JOHN DALBOR the expert instruction of R-4 ,- )h Tykodi, graduate student at Penn State and former Midwestern saber champ at Northwestern. This season Coach Arthur Meyer, expeit in foil and epee in struction, has turned over the coaching of the saber men in large part to Ralph Tykodi. "Ralph has been a great help not only to me, but to all the other fellows in saber." Paul ex plained. When asked about his great est thrill in fencing, Paul told this incident. "Last per at Cornell. I was behind 44 and then scored five straight touch es to win the match 5-4." Paul was born in 1926 in Clair ton, Pa. He played some basket ball in high .school, but was a letter-winner at quarterback on Clairton's grid squad. "I still enjoy playing football more • than fencing," the SI", 165 pound athlete frankly ad . mits. "That's one reason why I like saber best in fencing. You can slash and hit with it and it's much rougher." After graduating ' from. high school, Paul spent 27 months in the Navy:and then enrolled as a freshman in forestry at Mflilto in 1946. Paul was married in December, 1945 and has a four month-old son. He and his fam-, ily occupy a' small apartment in State College. Fishing and hunting rank even over football and fencing with Paul..."Frn down at Spring • Creek every day late during fishing season," he laughed; and my wife doesn't care, for that too much."

The Diplomat's slate stands-a verse of State's record. In their last meet, the Lancasterm en downed Gettysburg, 60-15, but lost to a strong Lehigh team the week before by a 54-21 count. STILL A CHANCE The Statemen can still boast a winning season if they take their three remaining meets, in cluding home engagements with a strong Syracuse squad this weekend, and Virginia a week later. A better indication of the cali ber of the Lion team than their record shows, is the number of individual records being set this year. In the last three meets a man has smashed an existing mark in 'different events. Last year, the Lions went on a record breaking spree against the Diplo mats in Glennland pool.
