Stickmen Meet W.
Today; Face Navy
Penn State’s~lacrosse team will seek a clean sweep of the
weekend festivities when they journey to. Western Maryland
and Navy today and tomorrow.
The Lions ;will take on Western Maryland this afternoon
and the Midshipmen tomorrow.-
Coach Nick Thiel and his charges will leave this morning
for Western Maryland. The Lions | ' ★ ★ ★
will leave immediately after the
contest and go on to Annapolis to
stay there over night. State will
return home Saturday night
sometime after the Navy match.
Lost To State
Last year, the Green Terrors
from south of the Mason-Dixon
line won. but one game and that
was to a mediocre Franklin and
Marshall team. On the other
hand, the Terrors lost 10 matches
with one of these being admin
istered by Penn State by the
rather , overwhelming score of
17-4.
The victory over Franklin and
Marshall by Western Maryland
interrupted a 6 - game losing
streak. However, the Terrors
“bounced back” to drop succes
sive tilts to Hofstra, Loyola of
Baltimore, whom the Lions also
lost to last year, 9-4, Delaware,
and VMI. This year, Western
Maryland has already. dropped
its opener to Williams, 14-3.
Navy Tough
The Navy match, however, will
be a stern test for the Nittany
Lions. The Middies have taken
their first three games by rather
convincing scores. The Middies
mauled Harvard, 14-3; defeated a
very good Swarthmore club, 14-4;
and tripped Washington college
(Md.), 8-6.
This year, the Middies will
have seven of their ten posts
filled by returning veterans. The
only severe blow to Navy was
the loss of All-American defense
man, Phil Ryan, who also acted
as football captain.
'Big Five'
Navy is also consistently rated
in what is called the “Big Five”
of collegiate lacrosse. In this
group with the Midshipm'en are
their ancient rivals Army, Prince
ton, Maryland, and John Hopkins,
last year’s national champions.
The Middies, however, slippe'd
somewhat last year as they fell
down to the seventh spot in the
national ratings. Rated ahead of
the Middies last year were John
Hopkins, followed in order by
Princeton, Maryland, Army, Yale,
and Syracuse.
Coach Thiel will probably start
Phil Benedetti at goalie in tomor
row’s opener at Western Mary
land with the trio of John Walker,
Ed Herring, and Jim Reed, or
Bob Koons holding down the
close attack spots. According to
Thiel, Koons may get the nod for
the third position as he seems to
be just slightly better in stick
handling and feeding.
Veteran Midfield
At midfield, the Lions will
open with the lettermen trio of
Bud Wolfram, Jim Fulton, and
John Wilcox. The second three
some will consist of Paul Raffen
sperger, Tony Eagle, and John
Yohman, who, according to Thiel,
"is coming fast at midfield.”
At,: defense, the Lions will
line up with John Henry, Vance
Scout, and Dan Grove, who, ac
cording to Thiel, “is a probable
starter.”
The Lions probably will be able
to t a k e it fairly easy against

Photos in 'Life'
The April 19 issue of Life maga
zine includes an article on the
National Collegiate Athletic asso
ciation wrestling tournament held
at Lehigh university last March
23 and 24. The article’s title is
“Real Grunts and Groans.”
Among the eleven photographs
of individual bouts, are shots of
State’s Mike Rubino in the final
177-pound contest with Oklahoma
A&M’s Grover Rains, and Don
Maurey’s match with John Camp
bell of St. Ambrose college.
The story points out that col
lege wrestlers have only contempt
for pros, and coaches insist that
a top college heavyweight could
lick any pro in a match held
under college rules.
