Penn State's Boxers
Deadlock Virginia, 4-4
With the sting of several unpopular decisions to goad them on,
Penn State's boxers are swinging through the final week of drills
before the EIBA championships, following a 4-4 deadlock with Vir
ginia Saturday.
The charges of coach Eddie Sulkowski tied with the Cavaliers
for the third year in a row and would have had the decision were it
riot for unpopular decisions in the
135 and 155-pound battles. Draw
verdicts in both contests were
roundly booed by a Rec Hall
crowd of Penn State partisans.
John Albarano, the Lions' soph
omore sensation, looked impres
sive in his 135-pound clash with
Eastern champion Grover Master
son. Albarano had a one-point
lead going into the final frame,
but Masterson rallied to knot
the count and win a draw.
KOSZAREK DRAWS
The other much-discussed ver
dict came in the 155-pound divis
ion when State's Lou Koszarek
drew with Virginia's captain, Joe
Miragliotta, former Eastern title
holder. The experienced Virgin
ian kept Koszarek at bay for two
rounds, but Lou opened the third
with a flurry of rights. Koszarek
managed to have Miragliotta in
trouble for a while, but the Vir
ginia captain weathered the storm
to come out with what proved to
be a highly disappointing decis
ion for the spectators.
But what was probably more
disappointing to the home crowd
was the announcement prior to
the heavyweight bout that the
Lion's captain, Chuck Drazeno
vich, won his match by default.
OPENING BOUTS
In the meet's opening battle.
Penn State's John Hanby came
back nicely in the waning mom
ents of his struggle against Leon
ard Coiner. Apparently his last
ditch effort went to waste as
Coiner was awarded a hair-line
decision. • -
At 145 pounds, Frank Gross had
things pretty well under control
during the opening two rounds,
and won an easy verdict. In the
third he unleashed a murderous
barrage of rights which spelled
trouble for his opponent, Virgin
ia's John Burch.
The veteran Paul Smith won
his first contest of the year by
decisioning Vince Marshal 1, a
newcomer to the Virginia varsity
at 165 pounds.

Coach Bill Gutteron's swimmers have begun intensive work

at Rutgers on Saturday.
With the outcome of the last dual meet depending on the victory
in the 400 yard relay, an overanxious Virginia swimmer got off to a
false start. The event ended in
a dead heat, giving the Nittany
swimmers a 38-37 victory Satur

Chick Hallock, Virginia's third

Gymnasts Lose
4th Decision;
Bow to Temple
It's full steam ahead for the
Nittany gymnasts this week as
they prepare for the Eastern In
tercollegiate competition at Rec
Hall Saturday after absorbing a
disappointing defeat, their fourth
of the season, at Temple last week.
Coach Gene Wettstone's crew
took a 62 1 / 2 -33 1 / 2 shellacking from
th e powerful, well-balanced,
Owls. The Lions Were able to take
only one first-place, in the rope
climb, where Lee Perna and Al
Christie tied for top spot.
Rudy Valentino, State's bounc
ing tumbler, dropped out of the
top spot for the first time this
year, losing to Hartmeyer of Tem
ple. Wettstone said yesterday
that Valentino injured his left
wrist before the meet and was
'orced to do his tumbling with
only one hand. nevertheless he
scored a second place.
Dick Spiese, State's dark-horse
candidate for P-bar honors, was
not up to par and wound up
third in that event to John Keos
sian and Wally Hayes.
Although Wettstone was more
pleased with the performance of
Harry Greaves . and Earl Kerber
on the horizontal bar, the event
was won easily by Bill Willard of
Temple, with Hayes taking sec
ond.
And when the Lion ringinen
turned in a disappointing per
".ormance, the Owls slammed the
7ings, 13-3, to sew up the meet.
Perna and Christie climbed the
-ope in 4.5 seconds to gain their
first-place Sal Postich slipped
to a slow mark however, pre
venting the Lions from scoring
heavily.

In the midst of serious preparations for the annual climax of the
mat season.
Coach Charley Speidel's grapplers registered win number seven,
a 17-9 count, over a surprisingly strong Princeton mat aggregation
Saturday in Rec Hall.
As a result, the present crew
can claim the best record for a
dual meet season since the 1942
team rolled to an identical 7-and
-1 log.
DORMONT DANDY
The Nittanies garnered four de
cision wins and a fall victory in
out-classing the visiting Ivy-
Leaguers. Only .Mike Rubino, the
Dormont Dandy, added five points
to the Lions' team score. Rubino,
battling Luc Wilmerding at 175
pounds, used a combination of
body slams and tossed in a figure
four to completely subdue Wil
merding. The fall took place at
7:53, but the issue was never in
doubt.
Princeton surprised the large
crowd, by grabbing victories in
the first two weights. John Reese,
121-pounder, lost his third ver
dict of the year to the Tigers'
Dave McAlpin, 5-4. Reese got a
takedown and two escapes and
was ahead of !McAlpin until he
ran out of gas in the final frame.
McAlpin got the winning take
down in the last eight seconds.
Jack Dreibelbis, B 1 u e and
White 128-pounder, put up a game
battle but lost to the defending
EIWA champ, Captain Dave Poor,
by a 10-5 score. It was Driebelbis'
first dual meet loss after six tri
umphs over a two-year period.
Dreibelbis did surprise the East
ern titleholder by nabbing a quick
takedown, but he couldn't match
the over-all pace of the smooth
Orange and Black matman.
MAUREYS WIN
Don and Captain Jim Maurey,
wrestling at 135 and 145 pounds
respectively, each copped their
seventh wins. Don tallied a take
down shortly after the start of
his bout with Bob Sellers on a
