Arne& Scores 40 as Lions
Crack Three School Records
Not content t%turn what was expected to be one of their tougher
games into a complete rout, Penn State's amazing basketeers added•
insult to injury by smashing three records in Saturday night's 83-55
blitz over Georgetown.
The Lions' record-breaking deeds were:
(1) Their 13th consecutive win and 15th in 16 starts to smash a
12-game streak set by the 1941-42
team of which Coach Elmer Gross
was co-captain;
(2) A new single game indi
vidual scoring mark for a Penn
Stater, set by Jesse Arnelle, who
poured 40 points through. the
hoops on 15 field goals and ten
fouls; and
(3) A new team high on the
Rec Hall floor-83--cracking the
old mark set , against West Vir
ginia in 1950.
Breaks Wolfe's Record
Arnelle was at his greatest,
breaking a record whic b. had
stood 'since 1919 when the late
Frank Wolfe scored 36 points
against Susquehanna for the Lion
varsity. The Georgetown defense
had big Jesse marked from the
outset, but to no avail, for the
Lion centerman was unstoppable
under the hoop and in the key.
The 40 point total brings Ar
nelle's season mark to 285, only
34 points shy of Lou Lamie's rec-.
ord high of 319. In the eight re
maining games on the Lions'
schedule, Arnelle needs only to
score a little better than four
points a game to set a new one
season record. At the present time
he is averaging 17.8 points per
game.
What was expected to be a close
game was never in doubt after
the Lions took a 5-0 lead. They
were never headed thereafter. The
closest the Hoyas got was two
points, 9-7, after the Lions had
gone ahead, 9-2. This situation
was short lived, however, when
seven Lion points in rotation
upped the count to 16-7. The quar
ter score was 20-10.
Arnelle Takes Command
In the second period, Arnelle
took complete command, dump
ing in nine consecutive points to
build the State lead to 29-16.
Jack Sherry, who started the
game in place of Ronny Weiden
hammer, and Tiny McMahan
scored two quick baskets and Ed
Haag sank a pair of fouls to send
the count to 35-18. Herm Sledzik
and Arnelle scored five points to
make the score 40-21 at' halftime.
Arnelle had scored 19 at this
point.
Though the Hoyas outscored the
Lions in the third quarter they
could get no closer than 12 points,
43-31. As the score mounted high
er and higher and the crowd
sensed a record-breaking perform
ance on Arnelle's part, the out
come of the game became sec
ondary.
State Leads. 59-42
As, basket by basket, Arnelle
whittled away at the magic num
ber 36, the packed house roared
its approval more heartily with
each point. At the third quarter
the score read 59-42, and Jesse
had scored 28.
Midway thr ou g h the final
period, Arnelle tied Wolfe's rec
ord when he pushed one in from
under the basket to make the
score 71-47, and broke it a few
minutes later on a jump shot
after taking a rebound.
The Hoyas, who had trouble
solving the Lions' defense, pro
duced no outstanding star. High
scoring honors on their side went
to Bob Makatura, who s cor e d
most of his points from . the out
side. Bill Bolger, Georgetown's
high-scoring forward, was held to
seven points.
Sledzik with 12 points was the
only other Lion to break into the
double figures.

Penn State's gymnastics team,
showing decided weakness in
tumbling and the rope climb,
dropped its first meet of the year
to Army, 58-38, at West Point
Saturday.
Jean Cronstedt, the Lions' bril
liant young gymnast, outclassed
the entire field on the horizontal
bar, massing a total of 267 points
for first place. The "F lying
Finn's" closest competitor was
Army's Sam Hubbard, who trailed
by 14 points.
Scoring 233 points, the Nit
tanies' Mario Todaro contributed
a third place to State's cause
while freshman Karl . Schwenzs
feier, making his first start of
the season, got a fifth place with
his 217 point total.
Penn State's only other first
place was recorded in the side
horse event, where sophOmore
Bobby Lawrence's 260 points
earned him top honors. The Ca
det's star sidehorse performer,
Bob Wheeler, could register only
249 points, good for second posi
tion. Dick Shaffer finished fourth
in this event for the Lions.
Cronstedt Second in P-Bars
In the parallel bars event both
Cronstedt and Bill Sabo made
creditable showings, the former
registering a second place and
the latter accounting for a fourth.
Ray Colvin of Army, who scored
269 points, placed first.
Army's outstanding ringman,
Jack Kleberg, scored the highest
point total for the meet, 278, to
capture first place in his specialty.
The Lions' Jim Hazen was 32
points below Kleberg's total, but
still placed second. Tony Proco
pio's 242 points earned him third
place in this event.

The Cadets' Pat Webster and
George Haas were just too much
for the Nittanies as they tied for
first place with point totals of
271. Bob Kenyon took third place
on the mats with 245 digits. Owen
Wilkinson placed fifth for the
Lions.
The Lions experienced their
most disastrous moments in the
rope climb. No time was listed

Boxers Fall
To Surprise
Cadet Squad
Penn State's boxing team ran
into a better Army squad than ex
pected Saturday and was handed
its first loss of the season, 4%-31/2.
When a few scores are com
pared it can be easily seen that
the Cadets deserved to be classed
higher than they were.
Their only two .losses came at
the hands .of two of the country's
top boxing powers, Michigan
State and Syracuse. Syracuse,
,the Lions' next opponent, beat
Catholic U. this past weekend,
7-1. State tied Catholic U., 4-4.
Reynolds Loser
State's chances received a
mean blow in the opening match
when Sammy Marino was able to
gain no more than a draw with
Cadet Paul Driscoll. Sammy,
though hampered by a cold, per
formed at his best, but so did
Driscoll. The records shows both
boys scoring • three perfect 10
point rounds.
At 132 pounds, Cadet Jim Mc-
Gee scored a TKO victory to
hand Joe Reynolds his second
straight loss. McGee was ahead
on points, 20-17, when the fight
was stopped after 1:45 of the
third round.
Sophomore Tony Flore won
his first bout as a Lion boxer in
the 139-pound match, scoring a
30-25 win over • Cadet Ramon
Aguilar. Tony took a one point
lead in the first round and in
creased the margin in the re
maining two.
Spoils Kayoed
Captain Johnny Albarano kept
his slate clean with an easy 30-25
victory over Cadet Rod Koch in
the 147-pound clash. Albarano
scored a 10-9 first round and two.
10-8 rounds for the win:
Cadet Carl Crews, in the 156-
pound battle, scored his second
win against no defeats, • and
handed Gerry Spotts his second
straight loss. Crews held a 20-17
lead when the bout was halted
after 1:55 of the third round.
In the 165-pound match, Sou
Koszarek ran into a tough man in
previously unbeaten Cadet Zeryl
Hughes, but managed to out
point him 10-9 in the second
round to score a 30-29 win.
Kois Bout Thriller
What was billed as the battle
of the day, the 178-pound meeting
of Adam Kois and Army Captain
Jim Mclnterney, lived up to ex
pectations. Kois battled the East
ern champ on even terms in the
opening round, but lacked the
necessary stuff in the other two,
and dropped a 30-28 decision.
In the heavyweight bout, Dave
Yeakel again showed his need for
more experience when his fight
with Cadet Mike Hepler was
stopped after 1:45_ of the second
round.
The Lion mittmen will appear
at home for the first time this
year Saturday night against a
classy Syracuse team.

Cadets Toughest Opponents Yet
As Lions Capture 16th Straight
Unbeaten Nittany wrestlers won again Saturday but none of the
handful of Penn Staters present at West Point could yawn and
ho-hum over it.
For the rugged. Army matmen gave the Lions their toughest and
closest match of the year before becoming State's fifth straight win
of the season and 16th successive dual meet victim, 22-13. •
Charlie Speidel's lower weight
grapplers struck with ,blitzkrieg
swiftness and after four matches
had three straight pins and a de
cision for an 18-0 lead.
Four Still Unbeaten
But prospects of an easy Nit
tany- victory were quickly dis
pelled by the Cadet heavy artil
lery stacked in the upper weights,
who stemmed the Lion attack
until heavyweight Lynn Ming
worth's decision win at a point
wheri Army trailed only 18-13.
Four State wrestlers, Bob, Ho
man, Dick Lemyre, Don Frey, and
Illingworth stretched unbeaten
streaks to five, but the ranks of
the undefeated Lion regulars
was reduced by one when Hud
Samson had a four in a row rec
ord cut by Cadet Al Paulekas'
pin.
State's • frosh Homan added to
his growing list of defeated cele
brities- in Eastern wrestling
circles with a spectacular pinning
job on EIWA runnerup, 123
pounder Bob Karns in 8:45.
Homan had a 2-0 lead in the
second period. and after three
rapid-fire reverses,. two by State's
Bob, led 6,2.
Victory number five in his first
varsity season came via the fall
method .for Dick Lemyre in the
130 pound class over Army's
Clark Benn.
Frey Wins 13th
State's soph scared with a
speedy tackle takedown an d
checked the furiously fighting
Cadet's efforts to escape the "rest
of the period. On the prowl in the
second period, cat-quick and
smooth Lemyre had a finishing
crotch and half-nelson after 15
seconds.
Don Frey had a tough, exhaust
ing scrap with Karns' brother
Jim but won his fifth of the - year
and 13th straight dual Meet ,vic
tory in the 147 pound class, 6-2.
Heavyweight Lynn Illingworth
won his fifth straight win of the
year without even a close bout by
decisioning • Cadet Gerry Lodge
8-1. Lynn scored on an arm drag
and leg trip takedown, advantage
position throughout the second
period, a neat sommersault re
verse and another takedown.
Hud Sainson's four match win
ning streak came to a halt at the
hands of the rugged 177 pounder
Al Paulekas at 4:08. Samson got
the first score with a take down
but from then on the Cadet EIWA
third man assumed command.

'56 Olympic-
Site Problem
For Committee
OSLO, Feb. 11—(1P) The ex
ecutive committee of the inter
national Olympic committee met
in secret session today to wrestle
with the problem created by the
unavailability of the Melbourne
Cricket Grounds for the 1956 sum
mer games. .
Meanwhile a blizzard that hit
Central Europe moved towards
Norway, bringing promise of a
foot or more of snow and a solu
tion for the big headache of the
winter Olympic games whic h
open Thursday.
Snow would solve all problems
here where preparations for the
big sports carnival are well nigh
perfect.
'Situation Bad'
But the action in Melbourne by
the board of governors of the his
toric Cricket Grounds may well
mean that Australia will lose the
1956 games.
"The situation looks bad," said
Avery Brundage, the Chicagoan
who is international vice-presi
dent.
If Melbourne loses out„Ameri
can cities will undoubtedly renew
their bidding. At the 1949 meet
ing when Melbourne was se
lected, sentiment was strong to
send • the 'games to the United
States. When bidding between
American cities=chiefly Detroit,
Minneapolis and Los Angeles—
became too spirited, however,• the
committee turned to Australia as
a compromise. Originally Detroit
had the official support of the
U. S. Olympic committee.
German Dispute
No action is expected to be
taken here until• Lewis Luxton,
the Australian delegate, arrives
tomorrow. The full Olympic com
mittee, the only group empow
ered to act in such a situation,
meets tomorrow and Wednesday.
In addition to the thorny mat
ter of Melbourne, it weighed the
dispute between East and West
Germany precipitated when the
East Germans refused to go
along with the agreement to se
lect a joint team.
