Lion Boxers, Matmen Host Syracuse Tonight
Piety Hillers
Pose Threat
To Mat Record
By JAKE HIGHTON
It's unbeaten against unbeaten
at 7 tonight in Rec Hall when
Penn State's wrestlers hook up
with Syracuse in a match which
could forecast the future EIWA
champion.
Syracuse (3-0), a real threat to
stop the Lions' 16-match dual
meet winning streak, comes with
a team almost as strong as the
1950 squad which last defeated
the Nittanies, 18-6, and went on
to win the EIWA title.
Since that day in Rec Hall two
years ago, State has not lost a
dual meet. Adding to last sea
son's unbeaten eight-match rec
ord and Eastern crown, the Lions
have piled up five straight, Wins
so far this season.

wrestling high road again after
a disastrous season last year, also
own victories over Rutgers, 15-9,
and Cortland, 32-0.
State has been little pressed,
other than by Army, on the way
to its five victories this season.
The Nittanies opened with a 20-5
win over always-tough Lehigh
and followed with wins over Vir
ginia, 34-0; Pitt, 25-5; Maryland,
22-8; and Army.
Adding more flavor along un
beaten angles, Syracuse, coached
by three time NCAA 121-pound
champ Toe McDaniel, has six un
beaten individuals to stack up
against Coach Charlie Speidel's
five undefeated wrestlers.
Toughest Yet
The Orange lineup packs three
lightweight giants (123 through
137) arid thr e e middleweight
freshman (147 through 167) who
have shown great strength.
It's the "little giants"group
which has all the indications of
sterling duels featuring unbeaten
and outstanding wrestlers.
At 123, Nittany frosh Bob Ho
man, without loss in five starts
and victories over the two of the
East's best in his division, again
is faced with what should be his
toughest yet. Bob's Syracuse foe,
Bob Gerbino, is a 1950 Eastern
champ who has a 3-0 record this
year.
State's sparkling undefeated
soph Dick Lemyre has Syracuse
captain and EIWA runnerup Lou
Tschirhart (2-0) in his path to his
sixth straight.
Meets Frosh
Nittany Gerry Maur e y and
Syracuse's Bob Bury will come
together at 137 also with unbeaten
season marks. Gerry, pin victor
(1:44) in his first varsity start
against Army, will be out to keep
his high school and freshman col
lege unbeaten record intact. Bury,
fourth in the Easterns last year,
is 3-0 so far.
Still without dual meet loss
in two seasons, rugged Don Frey
with 5-0 on the season and 13 all
totaled, meets 147 pound fresh
man Ed Rooney with a 2-0 rec
ord.
Lion Doug Frey has freshman
Lee Martin (2-1) attempting to
block his second straight try for
his third win at 157.
Joe Lemyre at 167, loser his
last two bouts, has to get by
freshman Tom McDougal (1-0) for
his fourth win of the year.
Nittany Hud Samson will at
tempt to regain his winning ways
after his four match streak was
stopped last week against 177
pounder Enzo Marinelli (1-2).
Heavyweight Lynn Illingworth,
unbeaten in five starts, is matched
up against Orange football tackle
Dick Beyer (2-0-1) whose chief
distinction is a draw with Army's
Al Paulekas, a weight below.

Special to The Daily Collegian
Coach Elmer Gross' cagers hopped down fron Kingston, R. 1., where they played Rhode Island
State last night, to match buckets with Army at W:st Point, N. Y. The game will start at 2 p.m. today
and is the final contest on this trip.
The Cadets split even in their first 12 games, wiich was about what was expected. The West Point
ers have a new coach, a new system, and virtually ai entirely different squad this campaign. ' •
Elmer Ripley took over the coaching reins of a team which had only one returnee. Despite these
obstacles Army ha s defeated
Ithaca, Puerto Rica, Lehigh,
Brown, Colgate and Swarthmore.
The Cadets defeated Ithaca, a 30
point loser to State, by a 66-50
decision. Their 58-52 upset of Col
gate was their best performance
of the year.
The outstanding newcomer on
Ripley's aggregation is Bill Han
non, who has developed into one
of the best centers in the East.
The 6-3 sophomore grabbed an
average of 21.2 rebounds in the
first ten games, to lead the coun
try.
The 200-pound sophomore from
Indiana has also scored over 20
points consistently throughout
the year besides his yeoman work
under the boards. Other Cadet
starters are Vince Bailey, Fred
Meyers, Lee Poore, and Bill Rit
ter,
'Dizzy' Trout
Leads 'Players'
Golf Tourney
MIAMI,FIa., Feb. 15—(JP)—
Paul (Dizzy) Trout, veteran De
troit Tigers pitcher, scorched the
Miami Springs Country Club
course with a sizzling four under
par 66 today to win the qualify
ing medal in the Baseball Play
ers' Golf Championship.
"Best round I ever shot in my
life," said the bespectacled Tiger
right-hander who soon will cele
brate his 37th birthday. "Best I
ever had before was 71. Then the
next day I shot an 84."
Trout was red hot on this flat
6310-yard layout where the pro
fessionals cavort in the Miami
Open each winter. St eaming
around the first nine in 32, he
fired pars on three of the first
five holes. He added two more
pars on the back nine for his
fancy score. He was over par only
once with a five on the trouble
some 17th.
"I just like to show 'em a ball
player can shoot a little golf too,"
said Dizzy, respendent in grey
slacks, dark blue sport shirt and
a light blue cap.
There was a big seven stroke
gap between Trout and the next
best in the major league field—
Lou Kretlow of the Chicago White
Sox and Paul Waner, newly
elected hall of famer.
Kretlow, who almost gave up
pro baseball for a golfing career,
came up with the shot of the day
—a dazzling eagle two on the par
four 355-yard ninth. His tremen
dous drive hit the green and rolled
about five feet past the cup.
Bartell, Abrams Next
Kretlow finished with a 73, tie
ing Waner for second place. Orig
inally Waner's score was reported
as 74, but a recheck of his card
showed he was entitled to a 73.
Bracketed at 74 were coach
Dick Bartell of the Detroit Tigers,
pitcher Jim Hearn of the New
York Giants and George Abrams,
once of the Cincinnati Reds.

for Coach Red Haire's men to

German Team
Wins Olympic
Bobsled Title
OSLO, Feb. 15—(AP)—A big,
steel-nerved bobsledder fr o m
Germany and a dashing young
skier from Norway scored gold
medal triumphs in the sixth win
ter Olympic games today but the
United States clung to a slim
lea,. for the unofficial team cham
pionship.
Andreas Ostler, a rollicking
32-year-old - inn-keeper of Grai
nail, made two more daring runs
down Frognerseteren's ice-packed
slopes to add the Olympic two
man bobsled title to two world
championships he already holds.
Bobsledders Second
Meanwhile, some 70 miles to
the north at snow-capped Noref
jell 24-year-old Stein Eriksen,
who learned the art of skiing on
these same hillsides, was thrilling
a crowd of some 6,000 by winning
the men's giant slalom race in
twl minutes, 35 seconds.
The Nc. 1 American bobsled,
handled by Stan Benham of Lake
Placid, N. Y., and braked by 270-
pound Pat Martin of Massena,
N. Y., finished second in the two
day, dea,th-defying bobsled com
petition, just 2.35 seconds slower
than the winning German sled.
Sixth in. Slalom
The second United States sled,
guided by Fred Fortune Jr., of
Lake' Placid with Floyd Whisher
of Ausable Forks, N. Y., to steady
him, blazed home seventh in the
field of 18, representing the great
est bob-sledders in the world. .
A 22-yearold Dartmouth Uni
versity student, Brooks Dodge of
Gorham, N. H., made a surpris
ingly fine showing in the men's
slalom, tying Sweden's Stig Sol
lander for sixth place with 2:32.6.

Upset-Minded
Boxers Eye
Crucial Test
By 808 VOSBTJEIG
A winless but upset-minded
Penn State boxing team battles
an. unbeaten Syracuse team at
8:30 tonight in Rec Hall in the
stiffest test thus far for either
squad. '
If one were to consider the
chances of a State victory strictly
on the basis of team records the
outlook would be extremely dim,
for while the Lions experienced
rough going against Catholic U.
and Army, the Orange handled
the same two opponents with
ease.
Butler to Start
However, when one compares
both teams man-for-man the
Lions' chances, if not of winning
at least of giving - the Orange men
a troublesome time, appear a
great deal brighter.
Hoping to have the Lions at
their top strength for the Orange
men, Coach Eddie Sulkowski has
made a second change in the line
up, inserting Sam Butler in the
132-pound spot in place of Joe
Reynolds.
• Earlier in the week Sulkowski
annc'inced that Laz LeMon would
replace Gerry Spotts in the 156-
poimd class. ,
Had Position Clinched
Syracuse's supposedly. weakest
weight, the 125-pound class, was
bolstered considerably just prior
to the Orangemen's trip to State
College. Ray Tarrenella, who was
scheduled to lead off suffered a
nose injury, and Tommy Coulter,
a letterman who had dropped
boxing in favor of track this win
ter, was called upon to fill the
hole.
This means that Lion 125-
pounder, Sam Marino, (1-0-1)
will have a tougher time than he
bargained for. Coulter would
have had the Syracuse lead off
spot clinched at the start of the
season had he so desired, and his
return to the -lineup will hardly
be welcomed by the Lions.
'Freshman Row'
Another good match appears
likely in the 178-pound clash,
which finds the Lions ' hard-hit
ting. sophomore, Ad am Kois,
meeting Captain George Kartal
ian of Syracuse. Both boys have
one and one records, having lost
to the same opponent, Army's
Jim Mclnerney.
Three of Syracuse's frosh quar
tet form a sort,of "freshman row"
in the 132, 139, and 147 classes.
They are Art' Nelson, Johnny
Granger, and Gus Fiacco, all un
defeated so far with two wins
apiece.
Has One Knockout
Nelson, who is lauded as the
classiest of the three, will be But
ler's man in the latter's first var
sity assignment. He is reported to
be a good puncher with a "beauti
ful stance."
Granger, another strong punch
er with one knockout to his
credit, will be Tony Flore's op
ponent. Flore (1-1) has looked
good in his first two starts, and
could prove a match for Granger.
Koszarek Unbeaten
Fiacco will be going against his
toughest opponent of the year in
Captain Johnny Albarano (2-0),
who is -vorking on a four-meet
winning streak over two years.
Fiacco also has a knockout to his
credit, but getting past the Lions'
Eastern 145 champ will probably
be a little more than he can man
age.
Eastern 165-pound king, Lou
Koszarek (2-0), undefeated since
the 1950 season, will take on the
Oranges' other - frosh, Vince Rigo
losi. Rigolosi, fought Army's Jeryl
Hughes to a draw in his only out
ing. Koszarek beat Hughes.
Yeakel vs.Mahar
Syracuse will aim its biggest
gun, in the form of Eastern 155
pound champ Bill "Hooksie"
Miller, at Lion newcomer LeMOn.
Laz has drawn a real tough cus . -
tomer for his first varsity bout in
unbeaten Miller.
Heavyweight Dave Yeakel (0-2)
will enter the ring against an
other unbeaten Syracuse, John
Mahar. One of Mahar's wins
came at the 178 post where he al.
ternates with Kartalian.
