VI Penn to ‘-amen
At Syracuse Tomorrow
Coach Charlie Speidel made only one lineup change as the
Nitta ny Lion wrestlers wound up their practice sessions last night
in preparation for the match with EIWA champion Syracuse to
morrow afternoon at Syracuse.
Johnny Reese, who for five weeks has been wearing a cast to
protect a fractured right thumb, will take over the 123-pound spot
from Don Watkins.
According to team trainer
Chuck Medlar, Reese's thumb is
completely healed and he should
have no trouble with it on the
mats. Reese had the cast removed
at the end of last week and has
been practicing and getting back
into shape all this week.
No Other Changes
Otherwise, Speidel will stick
with the same lineup that has
been victorious in five straight
meets this season.
Following Reese, in the 130-
pound class, will be Jack Dreibel
bis, who has a season record of
two wins and one loss. Dreibel
bis' best match of the sea - .. - m
came in last week's 15-11 win
over Army when he took an 11-3
verdict from Thor Sundt.
Don Maurey, who now has four
straight wins to his credit after
losing his opening match with
Lehigh's Eastern Interc „ date
-
Wrestling association c._ _Anion
George Feuerbach, goes in 137.
Frey Defends Streak
Unbeaten sophomore Don Frey,
who had his streak of four
straight pins broken last week in
the Army match, will hold down
the 147 spot. Frey had to be con
tent with a 9-3 decision over the
Cadet's Dan Myers.
In 157, Bill Santel takes a 3-2
record into the match with him.
Santel last week outlasted the
Aiiny's Don Swygert in a 6-4 ver
dict. Swygert last year 1 7 . is a
fourth place finisher in the
EIWA's.
Joe Lemyre, another sopho
more, will try to get back into
the win column in the 167-pound
tussle. Lemyre had his four-meet
string broken when Cadet Cap
tain. Dean Mulder came up with
a 6-2 decision.
Mike Rubino, in 177, will also
try to start another win string
against the Orangeni,m, after los
ing his first of the season to Ca
det Al Paulekas in a 3-0 match.
Previous to his defeat by Paulek
as, Rubino was working with a
seven-match victory skein. with
four victories this year and three
last season.

MI kvy, Groat Threaten Hoop Records
Both Bill Mlkvy of Temple and Dick Groat, Duke's sensational guard, appear •to be
on their way to new college basketball scoring records if they retain their form through
the rapidly dwindling season.
Mlkvy had scored 514 points in the Owls' 19 games through last Saturday, giving the
smooth-shooting forward an aver
age of 27.1 per contest. All he
needs is 155 points in Temple's
final six games, an average or 25.8
per evening, to break the record
of 26.7 set in 1944 by Ernie Cal
verley of Rhode Island State

Groat, called by some the great
est player in Southern Conference
history, appears virtually certain
to shatter the record of 215 free
throws, sunk in one season. Tony
Lavelli set the mark two years
ago for Yale, and Paul Arizin of
Villanova tied it last season.
Through last week Groat had
hit the hoop with 195 fouls tossed
in 24 games, and he still had six
games remaining in which to
rack up a new standard. Groat al
so is within shooting distance of
the total point record of 740 for
a season, set two years ago by
Chet Giermak of William & Mary.

the story of just who is the
boxing power iri the East this
year. The Nittany Lions leave
today for the perennially
strong boxing encampment at
Syracuse,. N.Y., where 'they will
meet the Orangemen tomorrow
night.
Currently the two teams rate
about even. Both hold wins over
Army, Penn State winning by the
more decisive score, and both
have met Catholic U.. the Lions
tying, 4-4, and Syracuse win
ning, 4 1 / 2 -3 1 / 2 .
Win Would Boost Stock
Should the Lions come up with
a victory or a tie against the
Orange, their stock for an East
ern championship would soar.
Coach Eddie Sulkowski says
he will probably go along with.
the same lineup that brought him.
two -straight wins the past two
weeks over W. Maryland and
Army.
At 125-lbs. Sam Marino will be
seeking his third straight win
after dropping a decision to
Minnesota's Neil Ofsthun. He will
meet Jim Huba, current Eastern
titlist.
Sophomore Jimmy Barr meets
the Orange's Tom Coulter or
Norm Mosberg in the 130-Ib.
clash. Barr has a 2-1 record.
Gross Undefeated
Frank Gross, who is undefeated
this season, will meet Eddie Mar
tin, a sopromore. Gross will be
punching for his fifth straight
win in the 135 lb. bout.
In what could be the top light
of the night. State's John Albar
ano meets Ben Dolphin, national
runnerup in the 145-lb. class.
Dolphin scored a knockout
against Army in his only fight
this, year. Albarano has a 3-1
record to-date.
Captain Pat Heims will attempt
to hit the win trail again when
he meets either Jim Palmiotto or
Bill Miller at 155-lbs. Miller de
feated Army's Lou Morin at 165
in the season opener, and drop
ped a weight against Catholic
U. last week.
Veteran puncher Lou Koszarek
will square off against the alter
nate at 165-lbs. Koszarek has won

George Kartalian, the Orange's
light heavy. Wilson has a 1-3
record.

Marty Crandell, back on the vic . ,
tory trail, will slug it out with
State's Herb Kurtz. Kurtz, still
looking for that elusive first vic
tory, has two draws and a loss
thus far.
State To Fence
Unbeaten Navy
The Nittany Lion fencing squad
will invade foreign soil on Sat
urday afternoon when it meets
undefeated Navy at Annapolis.
In Navy they will be facing a
team which captured second
place in the Eastern Intercolle
giate Fencing tournament last
year, having lost to the NYU
combine, 73 1 / 2 -72 1 / 2 .
Led by the near flawless fenc
ing of Captain Jerry Stuart, the
Sailors record thus far is 5-0.
They hold victories over Prince
ton, NYU, and Columbia. among
others. Last week's 15-12 win
over Columbia dropped the pale
blue from the ranks of the un
beaten and also halted their win
ning streak at eight.
The Midshipmen will provide
top competition fOr the Meyer
men. The State swordsmen lost
to a talent-laden NYU team last
Saturday and in their initial ap
pearance they were beaten by
Lehigh.

That's No Shadow, Boxing

tomorow night.

Nittany Gymnasts
Meet Navy Sat.
In seven days the Penn State
gymnastic team has managed to
wprk from the frying pan (Army,
list week) to the fire (Navy, to
morrow).
Fifteen point victims of the
Black Knights from West Point
last Saturday, the Lions will
travel to Annapolis where they
will meet the Middies tomorrow
afternoon.
The Naval Academy team has
defeated all three of its oppon
ents this year, one of them being
Syracuse by a 2-point margin.
Syracuse had little trouble
handling Army, the squad that
handed the Nittanies their first
loss of the campaign.
G-Men Leave Today
Coach Gene Wettstone's con
tingent will leave at noon today,
14 strong, and upset minded.
Definitely off-form last week in
their loss to the Cadets, the men
feel that they should be "up" to
morrow.
The strong point in the Lion
scoring machine will be the side
horse event, according to the
coach. Wettstone said that he is
looking for points in that event
since Navy is not too strong on
the "horse".
Dave Benner will lead the spec
ialists in this event.
WettstOne said that a high score
on the sidehorse could counter
act the Midshipmen's strong rope
climbing team. All three Navy
men have climbed the strand in
less than 4 seconds.

the Red Sox Sarasota, Fla., train

General Manager Joe Cronin, who
is due there early next week.
Southpaw ace Mel Parnell and
catcher Matty Batts, who is sup
posed to have the inside track on

red hose, also are unsigned.
With the annual baseball play
ers' golf tournament beginning
today at the Miami Springs course,
it looks like rookie pitcher Ken
Yount of the Niagara Falls club
in the . Middle Atlantic league is
the man to beat.
Yount, who once hurled for Joe
Bcdenk's Lion nine, shot a par
70 three days ago—the first time
he ever saw the course—and yes
terday fired a 73, which was the
best practice score of the day
among the active ball players.
Pete Harris, former pitc h e r
with Columbus of the American
association who has won the tour
nament the past two years, can
not defend his crown with the
active players. He must compete
in a newly-created division for
inactive players. Harris shot a 71
in practice yesterday.
The second-place Br o o kl y n
Dodgers had all contract worries
abolished yesterday except one,
as they announced the receipt of
signed contracts from 19-game
winner Preacher Roe and utility
nfielder Eddie Miksis.
Roe, the ' slim southpaw con
trol artist, who headed the Dodg

earned-run average, last season,
gigned for an estimated A 2.0.000
to x 25.000, which was described as
a "substantial raise."
