To Open Road Trip at Gettysburg
State Romps After
Rough Ist Quarter;

By 808 VOSBURG
With a rugged six-game road
trip looming bigger than ever,
Penn State’s basketball team
closed out its elongated home
stand Saturday night with a rag
ged 74-56 triumph ovfer Carnegie
Tech.
The Lion cagers, who travel to
Gettysburg tomorrow night for
the first game of a road trip which
won’t see them appear at home
again until Feb. 6, had an easy
time of it once the Tartans cooled
off after a hot first quarter.
With Tom Craig and Bill Far
bacher throwing in set 1 , shots from
every angle, and Hilary Holste
working well under the basket,
Tartans gave the Lions a
rougher time than they had
reckoned for in the first quarter.
Once Craig and Farbacher cooled
off, however, and the Lions solved
the Skibos’ offensive tactics they
left little doubt as to the outcome.
Hardy Stars
Coach Elmer Gross 'chose to
give his first stringers a rest, and
cleared the bench of substitutes
in the last quarter. Big Jesse Ar
nelle, the Lions’ high-scoring
centerman, continued his terrific
scoring pace with 23 points. Al
though he sat out the last period
and most of the second, Arnelle
managed to tally. 12 points in the
first half and 11 in the second to
raise his season total to 123.
Lion' Co-captain Hardy Wil
liams, playing one of his best
games, contributed 14 points and
played an outstanding floor game.
He was all over the court scoop
ing up loose balls and intercept
ing passes. Wherever the ball was,
Hardy seemed to be.
Freshman guard Ronnie Weid
enhammer took a change of heart
and, deciding to shoot more,
found that it paid off, with six
baskets.
Nip-and-Tuck
The Lions started fast and took
a 4-0 lead on a jump shot by
Amelle and a one-hander by
Herm Sledzik. The Skibos came
back, however, on foul conver
sions by Holste and Craig, and
after Arnelle sank a foul, tied the
score at 5-5 on a basket and foul
by Holste.
Throughout the remainder of
the quarter it was nip-and-tuck,
with the lead changing hands
seven times until a foul shot by
Arnelle put the Lions ahead 19-18
at the quarter. Arnelle scored 10
points in the first period.
Carnegie Tech never threatened
again after two rapid fire baskets
by Williams boosted the Lions’
margin to five points. Holste,
with three personal fouls, was
benched in this quarter, and with
their main threat out of action
the Tartans lost their spark, and
the Lions built up a 35-28 half
time lead.
Same Story
The Lions continued to pour it
on in the third quarter with Wil
liams and Arnelle leading the
way, and though Holste returned
to the game, the Tartans were
unable to regain their early form.
The Lions led 60-43 at the end
of the third.
It was the same story in the
fourth quarter, although with the
first string on the bench it be
came a wild and wooly scramble.
In racking up their highest
point total of the season, the
Lions boosted their scoring aver
age in the first eight games to
62.1, and maintained their de
fensive average, bringing it to
49.5.
Craig, Holste, and Farbacher
were the big guns for Tech, scor
ing 15, 14, and 12 points. Fran
Kuenzig, who had been lauded
as one of the Tartans’ big threats
was held to a single foul, shot

THE DAILY COLLEGIAN. STATE COLLEGE. PENNSYLVANIA
Pitt Mat then Boast
Good Season Mark
Virginia’s wrestling Cavaliers proved extremely mild for the
Lions Friday night, but Pittsburgh’s matmen should be a con
siderably more irritable foe for State this Saturday night in Rec Hall.
The Panthers have had four warmup matches to date, winning
three and losing one. They defeated Indiana STC, Yale and Michi
gan but lost to Michigan State.
Cavaliers Weak
As to the Lions’ 34-0 rout of
Virginia, it was noteworthy be
cause of the swiftness and skill
of Charlie ’ Speidel’s wrestlers
who swept all eight bouts, five of
them falls,
On the other hand, Virginia
was probably the weakest oppon
ent the Lions will meet all year.
They could show little strength
except in the 157 pound class
where the Virginia captain, Joe
Wood, gave Doug Frey a tough
scrap. Doug’s win by virtue of
time advantage was his first.
The other half of the Frey
wrestling duo, Don, continued
unchecked in 147 pound dual
meet competition. His quick vic
tory was his 10th straight, half
by falls, and second of the sea
son.
Joe Lemyre Wins Again
Sophomore Dick Lemyre threw
his man in 1:53 Friday to get his
second straight win in a man
ner which impresses the most
skeptical.
While not as impressive as his
brother, Joe Lemyre continued his
winning ways by taking his sec
ond of the year at 167. Joe now
sports a two year record of 9-1,

topped only by Don Frey’s per
fect dual slate.
In his return to the lineup,
Captain Don Maurey literally
used half the holds and tricks in
the book of wrestling to pin Wally
Williams. Only a first year man,
Williams’ smile after getting pin
ned was-as much as to say he had
never been told of such a kind of
wrestling.
Frosh Bob Homan easily scored
his second decision of the year
at 123 pounds. Nittanies Hud
Samson and Lynn Illingworth
came up with fall victories to
show strength for State at 177'
and heavyweight.

Williamsport Tigers Pilot

old first baseman of the Toledo
Mudhens, today was named play

time of 2:00 for his leg of the
relay. '
Bill Ashenfelter, competing in
the invitation one-mile rim, fin
ished fourth behind winner Don
Gehrmann, Warren Druetzler, and
Bill Dwyer, Ash’s time of 4:16.8

good time on a flat-floor track.

no better than six feet and failed
to place. However, recent Penn
State graduate Vic Fritts, tied for
second with a jump of six feet

Starters Named
For Gym Meet
With Tarheels
With the Lion gym team’s open
ing dual meet with the University
of . North Carolina only two days
away, starting positions in all but
two events have been virtually
decided upon. ■
The hotly contested rivalry in
the parallel bars event between
Jean Cronstedt, Bill Sabo, A 1
Wick, and Dave Douglas is still
close, with Cronstedt having a
slight margin. However, positions
have not yet been decided upon
for Thursday’s meet.
Like a Veteran
The three starters in the’ hori
zontal bar will be Cronstedt,
Mario Todaro, and Earle Kerber.
Cronstedt, has shown exceptional
ability in his performances on the
H-bar, and will be the Lions’ main
threat in this event.
Sophomore Bobby Lawren'ce is
performing like a seasoned veter
an on the sidehorse and will get
the starter’s position in that event.
Frank Wick and Dick Shaffer will
be the second and third men
entered in this specialty.
.In the rope climb Dave Shultz
will start for the Nittanies against
the Tarheels. Shultz has been
climbing exceptionally well, re
cording times of 3.8 and 3.9 sec
onds in his daily trials.
Undecided Now
Jim Hazen will probably lead
Coach Wettstone’s charges in the
flying rings event Thursday, with
sophomores John Hampford and
Tony Procopio entered second
and third.
In tumbling, Wettstone believes
his top man is Bob Kenyon, but
hasn’t decided who will follow
him. The Lion gym mentor said
that he would decide the other
starters after tonight’s final work
out.
Wettstone announced that the
gym team will not have a stand
ing captain this season, but that a
senior captain will be named for
each meet. He said that Owen
Wilkinson would act as captain
Thursday.
