Penn State's cage forces kept
in tune for Thursday's important
battle with top-ranking Syracuse
with a convincing 68-51 triumph
over Colgate in Rec Hall Satur
day night.
Jesse Arnelle, freshman center,
continued at the head of the
Lion scoring column as he gar
nered eight field goals and five
fouls for 21 points. 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.

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
