The Lions will meet Cornell at Ithaca on Saturday Dean Harbold's victory over Dick Neff in the 130;pound match seemed to change the whole complexion of the fracas. Harbold was behind 2-1 as the third period be- r gan, but Neff suddenly became the victim of a reverse cradle put on by Harbold and at 1:43 of the third it was all over. Mike Rubino, who wrestled at 167 for the second time in his life, was the only Lion loser. Navy's undefeated Don Thomas stayed that way, going off the mats with a 7-2 victory over the Wild Bull, • Pins Middie Don Maurey too could be class ed as a hero. Following what seems to be his usual procedure, Maurey scored a takedown and immediately went into a near fall, but that was as far as it went. Maurey was ahead on points, 10-2, when he finally got to Midship man Dick Gregory with only three seconds of the last period left. Maurey used a crotch and half nelson for the fall. For the third Year in a row, captain Homer Barr defeated Navy's Jim Hunt by a decision., Barr, in winning his 23rd straizht dual meet, took a 5-0 verdict. lie scored a quick takedown in the first period, pulled a spectacular escape in the second and rode Hunt for the entire third period.)

As far as consistency goes, Lion tankmen George Hamilton and Bob Kenyon have not done badly on the brighter side. Both Hamil ton and Kenyon continued to add to their seasonal successes by turning in brilliant individual tri umphs. New Mark Set Hamilton, who has fallen into the habit of shattering records, wiped out the Syracuse pool stan dard for the 200-yard backstroke with a 2:21.3. The Orange's Dave Reed led all the way to the 150 mark, but Hamilton put on a characteristic stretch drive to win going away. It was George's fifth first place of the year and third in a row. Diver Bobby Kenyon put on his best performance of the current campaign as he tallied a hand some 101.58 point total to achieve his third win of the year off the low board.

Ted Jackson raised his individ ual scoring mark to 107 points by netting 19 counters. Herb Wins IC-4A High Jump Title Penn State's track team may have run out of gas in spots at the IC-4A championships Saturday; but they seem to have an ample supply of high jump champions.
