Boxing Win Over Cadets
Ups Lions' Eastern Rating
Pulling one of the season's big. surprises in Eastern collegiate
boxing circles, the Nittany Lion ring team pounded out a convinc
ing 5 1 / 2 -2 1 / 2 win' over the Black Knights from West Point Saturday
night in Rec hall.
The surprise was two-fold. I'
had little inkling of the potentia
ondly, the Lion victory surprised
Army right out of top contention
for Eastern team honors.
The State pugilists made it look
like a breeze by taking the first
four bouts of the evening, and
then breaking even the rest of
the way.
Gross Cuts Loose
The man with the dynamite
fists, Frank Gross, made it four
straight wins in the 135-Ib. class,
when he scored a TKO at 1:55
seconds of the first round against
Army's Mahlon Weed.
After feinting cautiously and
watching for the right opening for
the first minute, Gross tagged
Weed with a left to the chin that
staggered the Cadet and sent him
reeling almost through the ropes.
Seconds later Gross dropped him
for a nine count, and scored the
final knock-down with two lefts
and rights to the head.
Classy Sam Marino got the
Lions off on the right foot with a
30-28 decision over Army's un
beaten Don Speirs in the 125-Ib.
class. After an even-up first
round, Marino took command in
the second canto to pile up a two
point advantage. Tiring under the
blows of a much rangier oppon
ent, Marino still traded blow-for
blow with Speirs in the third
round, which ended in a 10-10 tie.
3rd Round TKO
At 130 lbs., Jimmy Barr made
his second win a TKO when the
referee stopped his bout with Ca
det Donahue one second before
the end of the third round. Dona
hue took the first round, 10-9.
John Albarano decisioned Jim
McGee in the 145-lb. bout for his
third win in four starts. In win
ning each round by a 10-9 count,
Albarano used a punishing body
attack and a good left to keep
the aggressive McGee at bay.
Army's veteran Ken Herring
decisioned Captain Pat Heims, 30
-27, in the 155-lb. clash. Heims.
not using hiS usually good left to
full advantage, stayed, on the de
fensive most of the way.
Koszarek Earns Decision
In the closest fight of the night,
Lou Koszarek decisioned another
Army veteran ringman, Lou Mor
in, . 29-28. The two battled on
even terms during the first round.
with Koszarek the better man in
the second. Koszarek took the
third period, 10-9.
Jim Mclnerney won his third
fight in four starts for Army
when he TKO'd State's Chuck
'Wilson in the 175-lb. class late
in the third period.

Victorious Over Army, Matmen Seek
Sixth Straight Against Syracuse
Syracuse is next on the schedule of the Nittany rnatmen as they continue undefeat
ed in quest of their first Eastern Intercollegiate Wrestling Association title since 1942. The
two teams will tangle at Syracuse this Saturday.
The wrestlers took a big step forward last Saturday when they stretched their season
record to 5-0 with a 15-11 win over Army. 'lt was Penn State's eighth straight dual meet
triumph since losing - to Syracuse
last season.
Captain Homer Barr extended
his perSonal dual meet record to
21 without defeat—preserving a
12-11 Nittany lead —when he
pushed Army footballer J. D.
Kimmel around for an 8-0 de
cision in the heavyweight bout.
Wouldn't Play Ball
Barr tried hard to pin Kim
mel, and did get a near fall in the
first period, but Kimmel seemed
content to be pushed around the
mat on his face by Barr.
Don Frey also kept his win
streak intact, but had to be con
tent with. a 9-3 decision over Ca
det Dan Myers in 147. Previous
ly, Frey had won four straight
matches by falls, only once gr,.;l
as far as the second period.
Coach Charlie Speidel's other
two previously-undefeated mat
men, Joe Lemyre, 167, and Mike
Rubino, 177, lost decisions to their
Cadet opponents.
Mulder Defeats Lemyre
Army , Captain Dean Mulder
took a 6-2 decision from Lemyre
end Rubino lost a 3-0 verdict to
Al Paulekas, an ex-PIAA wrest
ling champion from Farrell, Pa.
Mulder, who finished third in
last year's Eastern's, scored the
first two points in his match with
Lemyre when he dropped the
Statemen for a takedown in the
first period. The two thrashed
about, on the mat for most of the
first period. Lemyre several times
came close to breaking loose, but
Mulder, an excellent leg wrest
ler, held him in check. The Cadet
captain reversed on Lemyre to
start the second period, running
the score to 4-0, and Lemyre fi
nally broke loose for a reverse al
so in the second. It was Mulder
all the way in the final frame.
Rubino's match with Paulekas
started out as if blood might be
shed at any minute.
Paule k a s, in retaliation to
Mike's tactics of pawing his op
ponent's hair, slapped a little too
hard and both were off to the
races as the crowd roared its ap
proval. Rubino got some meas
ure of satisfaction by coming up
with two body slams in the first
period that echoed from ape end
of Rec hall to the other. Paillekas
pulled an escape in the second
period and spent most of the time
thereafter riding Rubino, adding
two-minute's time advantage to
his total.
Army's 123-pounder, sopho
more Bob Karns, kept his record
for the past two season's unblem
ished as he pinned Don Wat
kins with a cradle in 1:40 of the
-:econri period.

hands of Delaware, 39-36, on Sat
urday and Virginia, 48-27, yester
day in foreign waters.
Delaware, expected to be one
of the Lion triumphs this season,
proved surprisingly strong in the
freestyle event's where the Nit
tanies figured to dominate with
their ace crawl swimmers Cas
Borowy and Gene Kolber.
Borowy did come up with his
first win of the year in the 50-
yard dash while Kolber conned
first in the 440. But both had ;to
play second place parts to the
Blue Hen's George Ester whose
lead role featured a double suc
cess in Cas's longer distance, the
100, and Gene's shorter, the 220.
Relay Triumph
The only other State victory
was registered by Dick Wilson,
Bob Long, George Hamilton, and
Borowy in the 400-yard relay.
In finishing second, Hamilton
chased Delaware's Art Mayer to
a new school record in the 200-
yard backstroke in 2:22.2 to
eclipse by nearly three seconds
his old Penn State standard set
earlier this campaign.
George's win and Kolber's fifth
victory against one lone defeat
in the 440 were State's sole com
fort in the Cavalier rout.
Steady Bobby Kenyon finished
in the money for the sixth succes
sive time this season with a sec
ond spot against the Virginians
off the one meter board.
After his first conquest of the
year, Borowy fell back into his
bridesmaid position with a couple
of seconds in the two sprint
events, the 50 and 100-yard.
Rod Waters hit the scoring col
umn with a third in the back
stroke as did Bruce Bainbridge
in the breaststroke, Bronk in the
440 and Wilson in the 100.
