Tankmen Look Toward
Upset Win Over Orange
Faced with the tough task of trying for an upset win over
the Syracuse tankmen this afternoon at 2 o'clock in Glennland
pool, the Lion swimmers are hoping the home scene will again
bring out their best efforts.
While winning one and tying one on the road in five meets,
the Lions have fared better at home. They defeated Delaware,
39-36, and lost a close decision to
Seton Hall, 38-37, In the local
pool.
While most of the other athle
tic teams are on the road, with
the exception of the gym team,
the aquameet affords a chance
for stud,ents to see some excep
tionally good swimming, both by
the Orange and the Lion natators.
NEW MARKS
Captain John McGrory, Rod
Maters, Gene Kolber and com
pany have, come up with new
time marks throughout the sea
son, and pushed the opposition
to many record breaking times,
also.
Coach Ted Webster, Syracuse
coach, will bring a veteran squad
to face the Lions this afternoon.
Only three swimmers were lost
to the Orange team via gradua
tion last year. Roomates Brent
Clark and Hal Auer will bear the
brunt of the work in the dis
tance events, and the three Jacks;
Faxon, Gary and Watkins
. will
lead the Orange in the medley
and sprint events.

After the graduation of 6-feet

has been a better-than-pleasant
surpride. His 225-pound bulk un

Orange freshmen team in scoring.

Rod Waters, will meet tough
competition from Ken Heller and
Skippy Mullin in the 150-yard
backstroke. Rudy Valentino, who
has come to be termed a "swim
nast" because of his participation
in the fancy diving for the mer
men and his tumbling antics for
the Wettstonemen, may not be
able to dive for the Lions in this
afternoon's meet.
TOP TEAMS
The tankmen close the dual
meet season next Saturday when
they meet Virginia in Glennland
pool. Their present record stands
at an unimpressive 2-1-4, after
meeting some of the top teams in
the East.
The Lions, early this yeat, look
ed like a good bet to wind up
with the best record in recent
years, because of the return of a
veteran squad after a highly suc
cessful season in 1949, but com
petition has proven itself excep
tionally tough. Two more wins
would look good to the game Nit

despite being used sparingly at
the start of the '4B season.
At the guards Syracuse... has
three equally well-regarded floor
men who are fast, deceptive and
experienced. Dick Suprupowicz
came along fast last seaum and
scored 128 points for Bill Orange
while starring defensively. He is
usually assigned the job of hold
ing down the opposition's high
scorer.
MILLER, ROSEN
Captain Stubby Miller and Ed
Rosen compose the operatives at
the other guard position. Miller
has the speed and court savvy
while Rosen is labeled as "a gfln
uine spot player" with a good
set-shooting eye. Rosen scored
108 points last year.
Among other teams to have
already felt the sting of the potent
Syracuse scoring are Niagara,
twice; Canisius, Princeton, Col
umbia, Fordham, N.Y.U., Army
and Colgate.

Syracuse, Lion Gymnasts
To Battle at 2 O'Clock
Chances are slim that the Nittany Lion gymnasts will be able
to upset the powerful bar-team of Syracuse this afternoon, but Rec
Hall gym fans are nevertheless in for a treat when the two squads
square off at 2 o'clock.
As far as individual performances are concerned, the meet may
be almost a talent preview of the forthcoming Eastern Intercollegi
ates.
Syracuse is loaded, with men
like Joel Baba, one-time Phila
delphia high school -champ who
works the side-horse, parallel
bars, and flying rings; Gene Rab
bitt, NAAU and Eastern Intercol
legiate side-horse champion; Leo
Minotti, Eastern Intercollegiate
record-holder with a time of 3.5

Norman (Bud) Matthews and Bob
Bean, former PIAA. tumbling
champs.
TOUGH LIONS
And Penn State, although its
one-won, two-lost record isn't im
pressive, has several competitors
who are expected to make things
tough in the Easterhs.
Foremost among these is tumb
ling Rudy Valentino, runner-up
in the Easterns to State's Bill
Meade last year, and top 'candi
date for the title this season. Rudy
has bounced away with firsts in
every meet this year.
Lions Dave Benner, side-horse;
Dick Spiese and Captain Joe Mir
enzi, parallel-bars, and Lee Perna,
rope-climb, are the best of Coach
Gene Wettstone's, present crop.
Spiese and Mirenzi finished one
two against Navy last Week, while
Perna chalked up a new' low for
him, 3.9, to earn second in the
rope-climb in the same meet.
