Rutgers 73-50 For Eleventh Win
rinc. Ni.tany Lions' basketball captaha, Lon Lamle, be
carlc Penn Staic's new "Mr. Basketball" when the rangy
Lior: forward's claim to the three year scoring record was
cor''lrn - led as a new Penn State standard.
Lariiie . s 587-point output eclipses the mark of 576 set in
1541,42, '46-'47, and '47-'4B by Jack Biery. The Lion ace piled
ug :iis record output with 98
points in his sophomore year. 249
last season in his junior year, and
240 this season with six games
stilt to be played. Biery scored
118 as a sophomore, 198 as a jun
ior. and 260 as a senior.
Close To 300 Pls.
With six games remaining on
the schedule, Lamie stands an ex
cellent chance of becoming the
first Penn State eager to score
300 points in a season.
The Arnold, Pa. product needs
only to average 10 points per
game the rest of the way to shade
by one point the one-year scoring
record of 299 set last year by
Marty Costa
Amid the confusion of whether
Lamie had broken the three-year
mark, Coach Elmer Gross' cagers
jumped back on the win trail
with a loud bang Saturday night
by soundly trouncing Rutgers
university at New Brunswick,
Williams Injured
But even with their eleventh
win safely tucked away, the Lions
have their collective fingers
crossed, waiting for the report on
the x-ray taken of Hardy Wil
liams' foot. The Nittany forward
injured his toe in the Rutgers
contest and it is believed it might
be broken.
The ever-improving Tiny Mc-
Mahan and Joe Piorkowski stole
the thunder from their high
scoring team mates, Lamie and
Ted Panoplos, Saturday, by lead
ing the Nittanies to an easy win
over the Scarlet cagers.
McMahan, with 16 points, hit
his season high against the
Queensmen while Piorkowski
played a sparkling all-around
game besides chipping in 12
points in helping the State court
men capture their seventh win in
their last eight starts.
Big Halftime Edge
State was never behind in the
game, piling up a 39-29 lead at
halftime and then coasting to one
of its easier victories of the year.
The Lions will go back into ac
tion tomorrow night, when they
entertain American university in
Rec hall. Penn State defeated the
Eagle s in Washington, D.C.
earlier in the season. 66-63.

On Campus Says Beebe
College basketball and football belong on the campus in the
opinion of the Rev. Keith Beebe, Religion-in-Life speaker and for
mer Little .All-American football player at California's Occidental
college
Referring to the charges of game -throwing against Ed Roman,
Ed Warner. and Al Roth of City College's basketball team, Beebe
leveled the blame "not so much
on the colleges as on the promo
ters in IVlL:dison Square Garden."
Money-Hungry
The players' interest in money,
Rev. Beebe said. was just an
other example of the materialism
of the present-day world.
Rev. Beebe is now the assis
tant dean of the chapel, and di
rector of the student Christian
association at Princeton univer
sity. A member of the 1944 pro
fessional New York Giant foot
ball team. he now coaches the
freshman eleven at Princeton in
addition to his other duties.
There should not be scholar

Every Boy 'All-American'
Chosen as a member of the
Little All-American backfield in
1942, Rev. Beebe believes there is
too much emphasis on the All-

who plays the game is an All-

The Reverend said he was "not

chosen an All-American. Under

Trip Bucknell

ball team ended its three-game
losing streak and avenged a pre
vious setback last Saturday at
Rec hall by trouncing the Buck
nell frosh, 56-39.
Having taken their previous 51-
31 licking to heart, Coach Joe
Tocci's youngsters battled the Bi
sons on even terms throughout
the first quarter and finished the
half with a slim 23-22 lead. Stan
Po ff, the Bison's high-scoring
center, cut the cords for eight of
his 11 points during the first half
to keep Bucknell within breath
ing distance.
Big 3rd Quarter
However, the baby Lions
steamrolled for 22 points in the
third quarter, giving them a 45-35
margin going into the final per
iod, an d practically eliminating
any hope of a Bison victory.

tanies put on the "squeeze" in the
fourth quarter allowing the Bi
sons to register only two fouls
and a field goal, while they
scored 11 counters.
The victory gave the Penn State
frosh a three-four record for, the
season. They resume action again

Jayvees Wrestle
H Eagles Tonife
Penn State's junior varsity
wrestlers will engage the Lock
Haven State Teacher's college
junior varsity squad tonight on
the Rec hall practice mats start
ing at 8 p.m.
The match is an informal prac
tice with no student AA books
necessary. Charlie Speidel, who
will handle the junior varsity
team, plans to start with Paul
Miller in the 123-lb. spot.
Wrestling in the 130-Ib. class
will be Larry Levin. In the 137-
lb. division, according to Speidel,
will be Nick Vigilante, while
Jack Waters is expected to hold
down the 147-Ib. spot.
At 157 will be Ray Markle, who
received the nod in a last minute
decision. Burt Orban will start
at 167 for the junior varsity
squad while Bill Garrison is ex
pected to hold down the 177 spot.
In the heavyweight position
for the Lions will be Lynn Illing
worth of State College.
An old tradition at Penn State
was the "H e 110" tradition, by
which students and faculty Mem
bers had an opportunity to win
cash or dance tickets merely for
saying "hello" to the right per
son.
Including Bea ve r field, the
central campus of State College
consists of 217 acres. The golf
course is spread over 130 acres,
and there are 2600 acres of farms.
For the third time in five years,'
Penn State football will be in
command of 'co-captains next fall.

Frey Wins Again
Don Frey also furthered his
streak to six in his first season
for ttie Statemen with a 7-2 de
cision over Syracuse's Lee Neth
ersole in the 147-pound battle.
Frey scored Penn State's first
three points after the three lower
weight class 'decisions had been
copped by Syracuse, giving them
a 9-0 lead before the Lions start
ed to roll.
Johnny Reese, who returned to
the lineup for the first time since
the Virginia meet, dropped a 7-1
verdict to Syracuse's lone EIWA
champion, Bob Gerbino in 123.
Dreibelbis Hurt
Jack Dreibelbis became Lou
Tschirhart's eighth straight vic
tim over two season's as Syra
cuse added three more points on
Tschirhart's 8-2 decision. The
match was stopped for three min
utes by referee Wilbur Lehman
when Dreibelbis was injured.
Team physician Dr. Alfred Griess
said that Dreibelbis had bruised
a rib cartilege and might possibly
be out for a week:
Don Maurey became the third
and last victim of a Syracuse
wrestler when sophomore Bob
Bury garnered an 8-3 decision.
Maurey had a 3-1 advantage in
the second period, but Btiry tied
it up with a takedown and pulled
ahead on a near fall.
Bill Santel engaged Orange Cap
tain Howie Tice and took a 5-0
verdict.
Strategy Works
Speidel's strategy apparently
paid off as both Mike Rubino
and Joe Lemyre turned in white
wash victories over their Piety
Hill opponents.
Rubino, wrestling 167 for the
first time in his career, turned
in a 5-0 victory over Murray Win
er to even the team scores at
9-9. Winer preserved his own
streak of never having been pin
ned in college.
Lemyre put the Lions ahead
with a 4-0 win over sophomore
Enzo Marinelli, who has yet to
post a win this season for Orange
Coach Joe McDaniel. Lemyre
took his points on a takedown in
the first and a reverse in the sec
ond periods.
