PAGE SIX Lion Matmen, Boxers Battle at Army Today By JAKE HIGHTON Penn State's • EIWA championship wrestling team, unbeaten in 15 successive dual meets, battles for its fifth straight win of the season against Army today at West Point. Decisive winners over Lehigh, Virginia, Pitt and Maryland, the Lions are favored over a Cadet squad which to date has won only once, having lost three and tied once. Army defeated Brown, 22-8, but lost to Syracuse, Cornell and Pittsburgh. Pitt took the West Pointers, 17-10, compared with State's 25-5 win over the Pan thers. Karns, Paulekas Threats Army, though not up to the team which gave the Lions their toughest match last year, losing only 15-11, has potential strength in the three individual perform ers who placed in the top three of their respective weight classes in last year's Easterns. Two of those Cadets, Bob Karns and Al Paulekas, are ser ious threats to halt the four match winning streaks of Nittan ies Bob Homan and Hud Samson. The other top EIWA performer for the Cadets is Captain Don Swygert who meets Lion Doug Frey. Aside frbm Homan and Sam sonfi Coach Charlie Speidel has Lynn Illingworth, Dick Lemyre and Don Frey carrying four match Lion victory streaks today. Homan v.s. Karns In the 177 pound duel, Samson and Paulekas are both unbeaten this year. Paulekas, however, has been around longer than Samson who is in his first year. The Army football captain took third in the Easterns last year and holds a de cision over State's EIWA cham pion Mike Rubino. At 123, State's frosh Homan finds EIWA runnerup Karns as an obstacle to his fifth straight win. The tough scrapper Karns had a 7-1 mark last year. He lost only the EIWA championship, 3-2, to the "little-ape" Mike Fili pos. Karns' brother, Jim, is Army's opponent for State's EIWA and National NCAA. runnerup Don Frey in the 147 pound class. Karns could be tough, but figures to be no match for Frey who has 12 consecutive dual wins, four this, his second season. Illingworth After sth Sophomore Dick Lemyre, Pan- American champ without loss in four varsity starts, will be op posed by Cadet Greg Vigilar who has split in four bouts this year. Fifth Nittany grappler a.tempt ing to extend a fodr time winning streak, Lynn Illingworth, faces Army heavyweight Gerry Lodge who may prove tough. Veteran 167 pounder Joe Le myre, whose only loss last year in dual meets came from the ex- Army Captain Dean Mulder, 6-2, is stacked up against a plebe, Gerry Tebben, whom Coach Speidel rates strong. Facing the Army captain, Swy gert, for the Lions is sophomore Doug Frey, owner of a 2-1 rec ord to date. Swygert, with a 6-2 mark last year, went on to gain a third place in the Easterns. Gerry Maurey, newcomer to Speidel's lineup this week, makes his first varsity start after an un defeated frosh year, in the 137 pound class against Roger Kol ker. Kluszewski Signs Pact With Cincinnati Reds CINCINNATI, Feb. B—(P)—Ted Kluszewski, Cincinnati Reds first baseman, ended his holdout to day, signing a contract to play next season at an undisclosed fi g ure. The big slugger was believed to have been offered less pay than he received in 1951, when he had a poor season. Neither General Manager Gabe Paul nor Kluszew ski would say what figure was reached at a meeting today. He had returned his original con tract. Kluszewski batted only .259 in 1951, but drove in 77 runs and led the National League in field ing, making only five errors. Only six players remain to be signed by the Reds. Army's Big Gun Jim Mclnerne Relay Teams To Appear • In Garden Penn State's relay teams will be in action tonight at the New York Athletic Club games in Madison Square Garden. The ba ton passers in the mile relay will be matched against Cornell and Pennsylvania, both of which haVe suffered previous defeats by the State quartet. The lineup for tonight will in troduce a newcomer to Penn State's quarter-milers in sopho more Tom Younkins. So far this season a total of six men have handled an assignment in the mile relay. Only John Lauer and Bill Kilmer have competed in every race. Dave Thomas, who had never broken 58.5 for 440 yards until after Christmas vaca tion, but who has since done 52.1, will round out the squad. If Younkins can come through in his first taste of collegiate competition as did freshman Don Austin in his first try on the two mile squad, then the Lions should continue their supremacy over Cornell and Penn. The two-mile relayers will again be underdogs in their race. Georgetown, loaded with half milers as Penn State is with wrestlers, has yet to lose indoors this year. They were beaten only once outdoors last year • and it took a record-breaking Univer sity of California team to do it. Other strong contenders for a cup award tonight are Manhattan's metropolitan champs and New York Unversity. Competing for Penn State in the two-mile relay will be Bob Roessler, 1000 yard record holder for the West Point field house, Dave Pierson, Jack Homer, and Austin. Middlecoff Leads Golfers EL PASO, Tex., Feb. B—(iP) Cary Middlecoff, the Memphis, Tenn., ex-dentist with the gifted golf swing, pushed a five-under par 66 today to take a three-stroke lead at the half-way point in the $lO,OOO El Paso Open. THE DAILY COLLEGIAN. SIAM PENNSYLVANIA By 808 VOSBURG In search of their first victory of the still young season, the Lion boxers of Coach Eddie Sulkowski will enter the ring at West Point, N. Y., this afternoon against a poorer-than-aver age Army team. Hopes of the State men to break into the win - column will lie with the same eight men who fought Catholic U. to a draw in the opener. Leading off for the Lions in his usual 125-pound spot will be letterman Sam Marino. Sammy, who started the season off on a winning foot, will be pitted against Cadet Paul Driscoll, a second year man from Butte, Montana. ' Reynolds Meets McGee Sammy is reported to have looked his best in beating his. Catholic U. opponent, and should be able to show Driscoll an un pleasant afternoon. Driscoll to date has one win and two losses. At 132 pounds, State's Joe Rey nolds will attempt to chalk up his first win when he - meets Cadet Jim McGee. McGee, a letterman from New York City, has moved down to the 132 class from 147 where he fought last year, and has been able to win only once while losing twice. Sophomore Tony Flore is State's man in the 139-pound class, and will seek his first win against Cadet John Poirier. Flore looked good in his first fight as an inter collegiate, and had it not been for a foul ' , low might have salvaged a draw. • Trouble for Kozarek Eastern champ and Lion cap tain, Johnny Albarano, shouldn't have too much trouble in the 147- pound clash, meeting either Rpd Koch (0-2) or Carl Crews (1-0). John was successful in the first defense of his title against Catho lic U. Lou Koszarek, undefeated 165- pound title holder, probably won't have as easy an afternoon in his battle with undefeated Cadet Jeryl Hughes. Hughes, a sopho more from High Paint; N. C., has won two bouts so far and has a tie with Syracuse's Vince Rigolos. 'Battle Of Day' At 156 pounds, the Lions' Ger ry Spotts will also be trying for his first win against Cadet Curt Brewer. Brewer has a one and one record. Spotts against C. U. started slowly and caught fire too late, winning a 10-8 last round. If he finds himself early he may prove trouble for Brewer. The "battle of the day" is slated for the 178-pound bout, where the Lions' newest sensation, sopho more Adam Kois, takes on East ern 175-pound champ, Captain Jim Mclnerney. A quick TKO victor in the C. U. meet, Kois will be meeting his big test in Mclnerney, and will have to be at his best to lick the big soldier. Another sophomore, Dave Yea kel, will carry Lion hopes into the heavyweight match against either Cadet Frank Hicks, a 208' pound Kentuckian, or, Cadet Mike Hep ler. Hicks' record is one and one, while Hepler has lost his only match. Bobsled Crash Injures Two OSLO, Feb. B—(.JP)—The.- first accident on the Winter Olympic games bobsled run today slightly injured two Americans and brought demands that the course be rebuilt. James J. Bickford, Saranac Lake, N.Y., driver of the United States No. 2 four-man sled, and Robert Scott, Ausable Forks, N.Y.. both were bruised on the left shoulders when their sled rocketed of f the course at the third turn on a practice run. ' The next sled down, an Italian four-man, also jumped the same curve and although no one was hurt the International Bobsled Federation closed the course to the big sleds but permitted the pairs to practice.
