Tough Foes
Lie Ahead
Of Matmen
By JAKE HIGHTON
Penn State’s mat team, nearly
half-way through its season
without any of the four defeated
teams providing a serious threat
to the Lions’ 15-match winning
streak, will face a tough second
half season schedule against five
squads which State cannot af
ford to relax against.
Army, Nittany foe at West
Point Saturday, Syracuse, Navy
and Princeton form an imposing
lineup of future opponents which
stand between the Lions and a
second successive undefeated sea
son.
Fornicola Ineligible
To meet the pressure of the
coming matches, Coach Charlie
Speidel is well supplied with re
serves in the event of injuries.
The fact that freshman Larry
Fornicola isn’t eligible for the
rest of this semester hurts the
Lions’ depth, yet Speidel has Don
Maurey’s brother Gerry still in
reserve for the
17 pound class.
In the loss of
‘omicola, Mau
:y’s keenest
)mpetitor for
le 137 job, Cap
lin Don lost his
;st friend. The
dlefonte frseh-
man drew in the
Maurey
Lehigh meet and
won a 7-5 decision against Pitt
last semester in two varsity starts
and kept pushing State’s EIWA
champion Maurey.
Three Top Maimen
Yet State, with a second team
that many opposition coaches
probably would like to own, still
has such calibre as PIAA cham
pion and undefeated freshman
Gerry Maurey to bolster the 137
weight division.
Against Army Saturday the
Lions will be facing a squad
which can show only one win,
one tie and three loss record but
which packs three individual per
formers who placed in the top
three spots of the Eastern Inter
collegiate tournament held here
last March.
Army’s big three are Bob
Karns, A 1 Paulekas and Captain
Don Swygert. Paulekas, at 177
and Swygert, at 157, took third
places in the EIWA and Karns
came out with 123 pound runner
up honor in the championships.
Lost to Pitt
As to team performance, how
ever, Army has been running far
behind its 5-3 record last year.
The Cadets, who last year gave
the Lions their closest match, los
ing only 15-11, opened their sea
son with a 22-8 win over Brown.
Since that initial win, the
strong Cornellians took the Ca
dets 21-16. Army tied Columbia
12-12, lost to Pittsburgh, 17-10,
and was defeated by Syracuse,
22-12. The only mutual foe, Pitt,
was beaten by State, 25-5.
7 Sororities
Net IM Wins
Kappa Delta, Kappa Kappa
Gamma. Alpha Chi Omega, Zeta
Tau Alpha, Alpha Epsilon Phi,
Phi Mu, and Alpha Xi Delta all
entered' badminton wins in the
WRA intramurals last night. Al
pha Gamma Delta and Thompson

Kappa Kappa Gamma, Alpha
Xi Delta, and Phi Mu took both
badminton singles and doubles
oyer Gamma Phi Beta, Phi Sigma
Sigma, and Alpha Omicron Pi.
By taking two singles, Alpha Chi
Omega, Zeta Tau Alpha, and Chi
Omega took their matches from
the Theta Phis, Tri Delts, and AE
Phis. In the Kappa Delta - Delta
Zeta matches, KD’s Norma Curico
had to play an extra tilt to win
from Kathy Nicoll to decide the
winner. In the other badminton
game scheduled, last year’s
:ham p s, Leonides, forfeited to
Atherton West.
The Alpha Gamma Delta bowl
ers hit the pins for a total of 471
to top Beta Sigma Omicron’s 412.
Shirley Miller from the loser’s
team was evening high with 129.
Thompson A came through with
443 to stop the Sigma Delta Tau
keglers 443-415. High for the
game was Elinor Forman with 115.
Come on Ball, Get in There
CO-CAPTAIN TINY McMAHAN (12) waits for tied the all time Penn State record at 12 victories

over Rutgers. Larry Gordon (18) of the Scarlet Rec Hall Saturday night,
tried, unsuccessfully to grab the ball. The win

moments, but still rolled up a
21-6 first quarter lead.
Arnelle opened the ni g h t’s
scoring as he dropped a rebound
through the cords. The 6-5 frosh
scored nine of his tallies in the
opening frame and was largely
responsible for the Nittanies’
huge first quarter lead.
Lions Get Hot
State eased up in the second
ten minutes of action and only
tabulated nine markers against
the Scarlet’s 12. This reduced the
Lions’ lead at intermission to 30-
18, the closest the visitors got
after the first eight minutes.
The Lions really got hot after
intermission and displayed some
of the shooting prowess which
has guided them to 12 straight
wins. During this ten minute
period they connected on 11 of 25
field goal attempts and racked up
24 tallies.
Arnelle Connects
Co-captain, Hardy Williams bore
;he brunt of this third quarter
outburst with eight of his 15
points. Sharpshooting Joe Pior
kowski also hit with two sets and
a one-hander to break open Rut
gers’ troublesome defense. State
led 54-32 at the end of this frame.
Arnelle made two beautiful
one handers and showed some
fancy defensive work at the start
of the fourth period. Herm Sled
zik, who played most of jthe con
test under the handicap l of four
fouls, got five tallies and the
Lions zoomed to a commanding
61-32 margin.
Host Georgetown
After this 29 point lead the
Lions were content to relax and
Coach Don White’s visitors out
scored them 20-12 in the period.
Arnelle fouled out after three
minutes and reserves played the
remainder of the tilt.
The Lions will attempt to break
the College’s consecutive win
skein when they host George
town in Rec Hall Saturday: After
the Hoya battle Gross’ courtmen
will play five away games.

Williams
In Cagers Success
When an athletic coach has as many young performers on his
team as' cage mentor Elmer Gross does this season he needs a steady
veteran to guide the newcomers. Gross fortunately has such a
valuable player in Hardy Williams, senior co-captain from Phila
delphia.
Williams has been the dependable playmaker and inspirational
leader in the Lions’ amazing
surge to a 14th position among
the country’s basketball powers.
The 21 year-old guard reached
the top of his collegiate career
when he calmly sank a beauti
ful set shot Saturday night to
give the Lions a dramatic one
point up-set of nationally rated
West Virginia. Williams’ clincher
came with less than 15 seconds
at play remaining.
Steel Bowl Splurge
Hardy has never been a terrific
scorer, since most of his value
comes from his ball handling and
versatility. But this season, the
six-foot, 170 pounder has been
rolling along at a nine-point per
game clip. His 115 tallies in 13 con
tests rank him third on the team.
Hardy’s biggest point splurge
of the campaign was a 19-point
outburst against Pitt in the finale
of the Steel Bowl tournament.
The Panthers ganged up on the
Lions’ freshman center Jesse Ar
nelle, so Williams took over the
scoring slack with 18 tallies in
the scond half. Williams’ scoring
paced State to the tourney cham
pionship, and earned him a sec
ond team berth on the All-Tourn
ament squad selected by Pitts
burgh papers.
On Dean's List
State’s captain seems to like
the Pitt field house, for he alsd
led the scoring attack in the sec
ond Panther fray. Another game
Hardy remembers well is the
Bucknell game last season in
which he scored 18 points and
played one of his greatest floor
games.
Although Williams has spent
three seasons on State’s court
squads and will be a three-letter
man, he has not neglected his
studies. He is familiar with the
Dean’s list and has maintained a
2.6 All-College / average in pre
law. The agile basketeer plans to
complete his education at Penn.
He was graduated in 1948 from
West Philadelphia High School,
where he was varsity performer
in three sports baseball and
football, besides basketball. Wil-
liams was selected to the second
All-Public grid team, and earned
honorable mention among All-
Public dribblers. His classmates
voted him the outstanding ath
lete in the ’4B graduating class.
Hardy attended Cheny State
Teachers College his freshman
year. He came to State in the fall
of 1949 and has become one of
the Nittany Vale’s most popular
athletes. Last spring in the All-
College elections he was chosen
.secretary-treasurer of the Atheltic
Association.

Army Poses
Next Hurdle
For Boxers
By 808 VOSBURG
With its. opening-match draw
with Catholic. U. in the past,
Penn State’s boxing team can
turn its full attention to Satur
day’s match with Army at West
Point.
In meeting the Cadets, the Nit
tany men will be up against a
team which has already fought
three matches.. Army was rudely
bounced by Michigan State in its
open e r, 7-1, and then after
trouncing the University of Tor
onto, 8-0, fell prey to an always
powerful Syracuse crew, 6V£-1%.
Hughes Undefeated
Although the West Pointers can
boast only one undefeated regu
lar, there does appear to be the
possibility of a couple of terrific
bouts when they and the Lions
clash. Army’s big man, in more
ways_ than one, is defending East
ern intercollegiate champion at
175 pounds, Captain Jim Mc
lnerney. Fighting at the 178 pound
post Mclnerney will be meeting
the Lions’ rugged new light
heavy Adam Kois. Kois stopped
his Catholic U. opponent in 35
seconds of the first round in his
first intercollegiate fight .Tues
day night.
Mclnerney, however, isn’t the
Cadets’ undefeated first stringer.
This distinction goes to 165-
pounder Jeryl Hughes. The Army
captain dropped his opening
match against Michigan State,
but with little disgrace since the
man who beat him was the Spar
tans’ Captain Chuck Speiser, na
tional 175-pound champion.
Koszarek Meets Hughes
In the Syracuse meet, Mc
lnerney continued his dominance
over Eastern opposition when he
decisioned his old ngmesis, George
Kartalian, whom he beat in the
finals of last year’s Eastern tour
nament.
Cadet Hughes’ match with the
Lions’ undefeated middleweight
Lou Koszarek should also be a
dilly. Hughes, however, does have
a draw marring his record, this
with Vince Rigolo of Syracuse.
Lions Finished • Second
The only other Army boxer re
turning this year is Cadet Jim
McGee, wjho fought last year' at
147 and has dropped down to 132
where he has a record so far of
one and two. Lion Captain John
ny Albarano beat McGee, 30-27,
in last season’s Army meet.
If past history means anything,
it might be interesting to note
that it was with a 4%-3% victory
over Army last year-that the
Lions found themselves and went
on to runner-up honors in the
Easterns.
Identical Twins
There are sets of identical twins
competing in both wrestling and
gymnastics at Penn State.
