State-Army Wrestlers
Grapplers Seek sth Win
Of Season Against Cadets
One of the "big ones" in eastern collegiate wrestling will
take place in Rec hall this afternoon at 2 o l clock when Army
and Penn State get together to find out who's better on the
mats. The Lions will seek , their fifth straight victory of the
season.
Coach Charlie Speidel and Army Coach Lloyd Appleton
seem likely to stick with the
same lineups that were victor
ious last weekend. The Nittany
Lions blanked a weak Maryland
team, 30-0, while the Black
Knights downed Syracuse, 17-13.
Watkins vs Karns
In 123, Don "Judge" Watkins
will meet Army's Bob Karns.
Karns, a sophomore, is unbeaten
thi season,. and was undefeated
last year as a freshman. Watkins
has' won one decsion and drop
ped two.
In 130, Pat Brian or Thor
Sundt will meet State's Jack
Dreibelbis, who has a record of
1-1. Don Maurey, who dropped
his first match of the year and
has won three straight since,
will take on the Cadet's Dick
Wasson, while Don Frey and Dan
Myers will hook up in the 147-
pound tussle. Frey has won four
straight, all by falls this season.
Only once has he gone into the
second period for awin
Shift Possible
Army's Dick Swyger, who fin
ished fourth in the Eastern's last
year in 157, will face Bill Santel.
Army's Captain Dean Mulder
takes on Joe Lemyre in 167. Both
are undefeated. There is a possi
bility that Mulder, who last year
defeated Santel in 157, will drop
to the lighter weight, and Swy
gert will move up one weight.
One of the outstanding match
es of the evening should take
place between Mike Rubino and
Army's Al Paulekas, in the 177-
pound class. Rubino has taken all
four of his matches this year by
wide margins, and Paulekas, an
ex-Pennsylvania scholastic
champion from Farrell, is also
undefeated.
Nittany captain. Homer Barr
will hold down his usual heavy
weight slot in the afternoon's
finale. His Cadet opponent will
be footballer J. D. Kimmel.

one in Bob Conrad through mid
year graduations. Bob's last Blue
and. White effort was a stirring
stretch kick in the 20-yard back
stroke against Cornell which en
abled him to nab the runnerup
spot behind Hamilton.
Bob Kenyon, another Stateman
who has performed surprisingly
well in this his first season, will
have a tough low board foe in
Delaware's Charlie Presnell who
trimmed Lehigh's Middle Atlantic
champion.
Penn State was born on Feb. 22,
1855, when Governor Pollock
signed a bill granting the charter
for the "Farmer's High School"
which was the forerunner of the
College.

Coach Well, they took poor ol' Weak-Eyes to the hospital.
Broke his Shoe lace in his fraternity kitchen and instead of reaching
for a new shoelace he grabbed a wet strand of spaghetti and Went off
his bean trying to tie the knot. Took four pledges to calm him down.
Reporter —Tsk, tsk. A shame. Well, now that our worries con
cerning Stokoshewicz have been alleviated, I guess that just about
stilts the Bromos' scoring punch.
Coach (reaching for a dry towel) That's what you think.
Didn't you read about that 42-year-old psych major they've got
at forward? So he is only 4-feet-6 inches tall. So he has got only
one arm and halitosis. I've been told he can outjump a bum
grabbing for a 25-cent Panatella on a windy sidewalk. But lemma
tell ya sompihin on the Q.T.
Reporter (leaning forward) What's that?
Coach —I think the guy's a ringer from Pittsburgh. The Doc
didn't like the way we handled his boys a coupla weeks ago and I
think he's trying to get even. But I'm up to his tricks. I'm having
him investigated by the House Un-Democratic to Basketball Affairs
Committee. They can't put nothing over on ol' Mournful Jones. I
ain't been in this game for 54 years without learnin' sompthin'.
Reporter (to himself: it's a cinch it isn't English)
Thank you very much for the information, coach. Dry your eyes
an& buck up, Mr. Jones. You can tell the team that the boys
down at R. and D.'s and the Corner are with them to a man.

Lion Swordsmen,
NYU Clash Today
Penn State's fencing team will
clash with one of the top- sword
combines in the country, this
afternoon in the Metropolis city
when it meets the Violets of New
York university.
In quest of their first victory,
the Lions will attempt to avenge
last year's 16-11 defeat by the
Eastern Intercollegiate blade
champs.
Coach Art Meyer announced
tthat he will be forced •to re
vamp his starting lineup some
what because of his 2-year vet
eran foilman Gene . Goldbloom
having quit the team. Dick Mans
back has also left school.
Tom Taylor, a newcomer in
fencing ranks, ha s replaced
Goldbloom in the foil event,
while Joe Kusick has been
switched from epee to foil.
The saber event should see
skipper Ed Merek directing his
charges while getting able as
sistance from Bob Searles, and
Jerry Clauser. Acer Kalanik,
Kusick, and Taylor will do the
sword swinging in the foil event.
In the epee division, Pete Raidy,
Lou Como, and Bob Whitman
will fence for the Lions.
Next Saturday, the Meyermen
will meet Navy at Annapolis,
Md.
Skiers Compete
In EISA's Sun.
The only opportunity of the
Penn State ski team to exhibit
their skill before the home folks
was denied them 'last weekend
when the "B" Western Division
meet of the Eastern Intercolle
giate Ski association was literally
washed away.
The meet, probably the biggest
event of the year for Coach Sher
man Fogg's boys, will be held
tomorrow in St. Lawrence, N.Y.
The Lion skiers, enjoying their
best season in many years, will
be pitted against the East's top
teams.
The Foggmen downed Colgate
in their first meet and then came
through in surprisingly good
fashion in the Tri-State meet.
The same. skiers who won the
Colgate event will make the
trip. Captain Bud Bankert, John
Kirsch, Ike Weiler, and - Eggie
Cronau are expected to do most
of the scoring.

points by getting a near fall—
that is by holding his opponent's
shoulders two inches above the
mat for two seconds, or holding
one shoulder on the mat for one
second.
The bout stops as soon as a
fall is declared. The 'shoulders
of one man must rest on the mat
for two seconds before a fall is
declared. The winner receives
five points for a fall. Five points
are also awarded for a forfeit.
Two extra points may be scor
ed on time advantage. Time ad
vantage is calculated when one
wrestler is in a position of ad
vantage over his adversary. The
tctal time advantage of the com
batants usually produces a dif
ference in• favor of one of the
grapplers. If this difference is
between one and two minutes,
he is awarded one poiht, and an
other if the total is between two
and three minutes. Points are
based on full minutes.
Stalling Tactics
When a wrestler assumes a
position of advantage and does
not seem to be trying for a fall
l in the eyes of the referee, he may
be warned against stalling. If it
happens frequently, the referee
may award the man on defense a
point for an escape, or two points
for a reverse. If one man is
ahead by a slim margin and tries
to
. protect his lead by retreating
from his opponent, he may lose
two points when his opponent is
awarded an automatic takedown.
The same holds true for a man
on the defense backing away.
Team scores for individual
bouts are computed by adding up
the two point totals. If no man
receives a numerical superiority
he may be awarded a referee's
decision. In any case, the team
receives three points for a de
cision. A draw is worth two
points to each team. Five points
are awarded to the team for a
fall or a forfeit.
