The six-five frosh gridder and another new comer, Ed Haag, we r e instru mental in breaking the Red Raid ers' three year . Rec Hall jinx. Haag, a sophomore from Craf ton, scored 12 points and played a good floor game. The victory was the Lions fifth of the year against a single loss. Colgate now has a 4.7 seasonal record. Dodd Handicapped . A big factor in the Nittanies' impressive win was a full court press defense which the Blue and White used after the opening moments of the game. Colgate was hampered by these defensive tactics and was repeatedly unable to work the ball past the ten second line. The Red Raiders' top scorer, Bill Dodd, got four personal fouls on him early in the game and only scored eight points—one of his worst nights of the season. Dodd had been averaging about 17/points per game. Lions Start Slowly State no w has an offensive average" of 60.3 points per game, and has allowed 47.3 points per game. ~ The Lions started slowly in the first quarter, and the visitors had the lead on two occasions. Guard Joe Piorkowski scored his four points of the game in the opening fray, helping Gross' dribblers cap ture their 10-8 first quarter lead. Arnelle and Berm Sledzik paced the Nittanies throughout the sec ond quarter. Arnelle bucketed his first ten tallies of the evening and Sledzik, who finished as State's third leading, scorer with 11 points, chipped in with six. After eight minutes of the sec ond quarter ha d elapsed, the Lions had a decisive 30-17 mar gin. The Raiders were able to lower the halftime lead to 32-23. Gross Uses Reserves Arnelle practically iced the con flict with three quick two-pointers at the start of the second half. Another basket by Sledzik gave State a 40.23 edg e. The New Rochelle freshman spearheaded the third quarter assault with nine tallies. The Lions led 47-30 at the three-quarter mark. Colgate rallied with 21 points in the last ten minutes of action to match State's output. Gross used reserves much of this quar ter and the Raiders scored the last nine points of the game. Sophomore Haag paced the home team with 6 markers in this frame. Gross used 12 players in the game. Dick Phillips, a holdover from last season, saw his first action of the year: Co-captain Tiny McMahan marked his re turn to action after illness by scoring six points. The Lineups • . .

Wrestlers Throttle Lehigh, 20.5 By JAKE 1-IIGHTON After Tenn State wrestlers dumped Lehigh 20-5 Saturday night in Bethlehem, no one: could exactly sing praises to the Lions. Yet, none could deny that such a clear-cut, season-opening vic tory over a team habitually a wrestling powerhouse stamped the Lions as the team to beat in the East. Thirty-five hundred Grace Hall fans had little to cheer about as Lehigh could only snatch one vic tory and a draw from the Lions. Newcomers Win But the good Nittany represen tation of fans couldn't get over excited either. Th e first-meet wrestling was somewhat dull and the Lions' offensive action was often nonexistant in-positions of advantage. Noteworthy in the triumph were the four wins and a draw earned by five out of six Nittanies wres tling their first varsity matches. Bob Homan, Dick Lemyre, Hud Samson and Lynn Illingworth all began college careers auspiciously with decision wins. Fornicola Draws With such surprising support from newcomers, the only two veterans in Charlie Speidel's line up, Don Frey and Joe Lemyre, came through as expected with decisions to make the team result so lop-sided. Of the other two first-match Lions, Larry Fornicola gained - a draw and Doug Frey lost a deci sion by one point, keeping State from sweeping every bout. Most of the drama of the entire meet was packed into , the :147 pound match. With Lehigh's reg ular 147 man, Bill Carlisle. out with A bad shoulder, Captain George Feuerbach was surprising ly moved up to that weight, which he made at the weigh-in with street clothes on. Time . Advantage State's Don Frey, now unbeaten in nine dual meets,, gained a 4-3 decision thanks to riding time, but the smaller Feuerbach put up a courageous losing struggle. Frey succeeded on his fourth attempt at la shoe-string takedown midway in the first period. The Lehigh captain escaped to start the second period and Don did likewise in the third. A momen tary lapse by Frey and Feuerbach tied the match at 3-3 with a take down but the State matman's time in the second period gave him the nod. At 167 pounds, State's Joe Lemyre started slowly but rallied in the third period to decision Jack Platt, 5-1. Heavies Win Joe's brother, Dick Lemyre, had a rough scrap with Lehigh's 'Jim Mahoney for two periods but 'in the third the, Lion soph poured it on. , for a 6-1 verdict. State's two top-weighted grap plers came up with convincing decisions. Hud Sam Son won over Bill Jackson, 9-1 at 177 pounds, and Lynn Illingworth took a 9-4 heavyweight decision from Joe Comly. Samson reversed trickily from a third period near pin and promptly held Jackson in a near fall predicament for 30 seconds with a half-nelson and crotch hold before the bridging Jackson got away. Illingworth scored three take (Continued on page seven) , '.. ... 7 ' 1 4'E w ';.:-.,- . : ColiegeDin .r Gona Foo d ~.; ' Alwa, lo Pe ,, Be - , i 6,6 The 7 M?v • eelt -,-..- • 'F••,-...,,-- r, - Return of Ashentelter Will Help Thinclads With the return' of Bill Ashenfelter later this week, `the Penn State track team will be - considerably bolstered as it readies itself for Saturday night's competition at Washington in the annual Eve ning Star games.
