Lion Wrestlers I ppose Navy Today
State Seeks
18th Straight
At Annapolis
By JAKE HIGHTON
With every successive victory
setting a new all-time Penn State
winning streak mark, the Lion
wrestlers take on a tough Navy
team today in Annapolis in an
attempt for their 18th straight
dual meet win and seventh in a
row this season.
Against the EIWA champion
Lions, Navy has a formidable
squad with a 4-1 record to date.
The well-conditioned, come-from
behind Middies boast victories
over Duke, Maryland, Illinois, and
Lehigh. Navy's lone loss, 15-11.
was dealt by Cornell. Compara
tively, State defeated Lehigh 20-
5 and. Navy's winning score was
18-10.
Even though weakened by the
loss of Don Frey and Lynn Ming
worth for today's scrap, the Lions'
tremendous depth isn't likely to
make their loss felt too badly.
Waters at Heavyweight
With Frey out, State's three
brother, six-man Act still will
push five of the Frey, Lemyre,
and Maurey combine into action.
Gerry Maurey moves up to 147
and Don Maurey returns at 137.
Dick Lemyre goes at 130 and Joe
Lemyre .at 167. Doug Frey at 157
keeps his family name in action.
In heavyweight Illingworth's
place, Bill Waters will make his
first State varsity start. Strong
but lacking polish, inexperience
will be to Waters' disadvantage
against his Middie foe, Evan Par
ker. Last week Parker beat Le
high's Joe Comly, 5-1. Illingworth
has licked Comly 9-4.
Dick Lemyre, the only unbeat
en Lion regular in the lineup, is
not expected to have too much
difficulty in bringing home his
seventh straight varsity win in
the 130 pound class. His Navy
foe, Herb Crane was decisioned
11-4 last week by Lehigh's Jim
Mahoney, whom State's soph took
6-1.
Samson Meets Blair
The only other Nittany with
out loss, Gerry Maurey, wrestles
at 147 today after two highly suc
cessful ventures one weight low
er. Gerry can expect trouble from
Middle opponent Dick Wise. Last
week Wise was tied at 7-7 with
Lehigh's EIWA champ George
Feuerbach until the final seconds
when he was taken down to lose,
9-7.
State's Hud Samson with a 5-1
record will have plenty of trouble
at 177 against the sailor's Pete
Blair. Lion Coach Charlie Speidel
saw Blair win against Illinois and
was impressed with what he saw.
Joe Lemyre Seeks sth
Lion Frosh Bob - Homan, un
beaten last week, tries again for
his sixth win against a tricky
Middie, Bob Sutley. Last year
in State's 24-5 win over the Mid
shipmen, Sutley drew with John
ny Reese, 2-2. In the Eastern
quarter-finals, Sutley lost 2-1 to
Gerbino, who took Homan last
week.
Joe Lemyre goes for his fifth
win at 167 against Joe Gattuso
who won a 16-9 decision last week
from Lehigh's number two man
Gene Paquette. Th e Engineers
first 167 pounder, John Platt was
beaten by Lemyre 5-1.
As usual, Nittany Doug Frey
has drawn a tough man at 157
pounds. Middie John Godek came
from behind last week to tie, 2-2,
Lehigh's strong Ed Mahoney. Ma
honey beat Doug; 5-4 in the first
meet of the season. Since that
initial loss, Doug has won three
Matches and lost , one other.
Most sensational of all th e
Navy matches last week was
staged by 137 pounder Art Jesser
who goes against State's Captain
Don Maurey. Jesser was trailing
7-0 in the final period against
Ken Faust when 'he caught fire
and squared the match at 7-all.
Faust tied the now ineligible Lar
ry Fornicola, 2-2. Captain Maurey
is 1-1 on the season to date.

Navy Matmen Grappled
To Exciting 3-3 Deadlock in 1924
State,
By JOHN SHEPPARD
Twenty-eight years ago—back
in 1924—the most unusual, and
at the same time one of the most
exciting wrestling matches ever
witnessed on the Rec Hall mats
was the Penn State-Navy duel.
It was in that match that Coach
Ralph Leopard's matmen gained
a decision in the first bout and
Navy gained one in the last bout.
All the others were draws, so
that the final outcome was a 3-3
deadlock. No points were given
for draws then.
Both teams were in the best
of condition and evenly matched,
as was demonstrated by the clever
grappling that was displayed in
nearly every match.
In the 115 pound weight, which
is obsolete today, State's Cary lost

BULLETIN
NEW YORK, Feb. 22 (W)—
Busy little Robert Villemain of
France staged a blistering rally
in the last two rounds tonight
for a split decision over wild
swinging Danny Nardico of
Tampa, Fla., in a ten-rounder

no time in taking down Davisson,
but it wasn't long before the
Navy grappler regained his feet.
It was just long, enough, how
ever, for Cary to secure a hold
which permitted him to lift his
'opponent as high as his shoulders.
Then coming forcibly to the mat,
he tried to force Davisson on his
back. But it was to no avail, as
all his efforts were resisted. The
fact that Cary maintained a posi
tion of advantage throughout en
abled him to cop the decision.
Straight Draws
In a good 125 pound fray'
Timberlake of Navy and Hunter
of State fought to a draw. Both
grapplers displayed elusiveness by
evading all attempts for a fall.
There were several tense mo

when the two captains, Naito of

Colgate in Hamilton, N.Y
The tables are reversed for this
Lion-Orange clash. At the time
of the first meeting of the schools,
Syracuse had just had a winning
streak brok e n, but was still
ranked 14th in the nation. The
Orangemen were also leading the
country in offense and Ed Miller,
six-eight center, was among the
top scorers.
The Blue and White scored an
upset 61-57 decision in a rough
fray in Rec Hall. Jesse Arnelle,
six-five center, paced the Lions
with 18 points. Bucky Roche, Syr
acuse's clever guard, had the
same number for Co ac h Marc
Guley's outfit.
Lost Seven
The early season Syracuse win
was State's fourth straight in a
streak which was run to 15 before
the Quaker upset Wednesday.
Now the Lions are the nationally
ranked quintet. Last week the As
sociated Press rated the Nittany
courtmen 13th in the country.
Guley's cagers have extra in
centive for a revenge win. State's
victory started the Orange on a
downward trend from which they
haven't been able to fully recover.
In the early part of the campaign
the New York five had high hopes
of a successful season and a post
season tournament bid.
Although Guley's club `has lost
seven games and doesn't have a
chance for a tourney he would
like to knock State out of NCAA
contention. Sin c e Wednesday's
loss the Lions must win every
game to remain in running for
the - Madison Square Garden af
fair.
Veteran Squad
Despite its mediocre season
Syracuse displayed their potency
with a devastating 98-64 win over
Army in their latest outing. The
98 points were the most scored
in the West Point field house and
was Army's worst defeat in his
tory. •
Syracuse has a veteran squad
with plenty of scoring punch and
rebounding ability. Th e usual
starting five is Tom Huggins (6-3)
and Fr an k Reddout (6-5) for
wards; Miller (6-8), center, and
Bucky Roche (5-11) and Bill Man
ikas (6-0), guards. Mel Bedsin,
Stan Swanson and Pat Stark are
the front line replacements.
Tennis Managers .
Candidates for second assis
tant tennis managers should re
port to Rec Hall at 4 p.m. Mon
day.
State and Kerschner of Navy,
countered each others moves only
to have the bout end in a dead
lock. Both men posted time ad
vantages of 1:55.
The next two events of the card
(145 and 158) also ended in draws.
Navy's Edwards Wins
As the heavyweight -tussle ap
proached, it seemed probable that
neither man would be given a
decision. • Here was a chance for
State to win or tie and for Navy
to lose or tie. The Lions' Burdan
and Navy's Edwards went. at it
tooth and nail.
First one man would have the
advantage and then the other, but
the Middies' Edwards was finally
given the referee's decision with
a time advantage of 1:04. As a re
sult-the final match score was 3-3.
Enos Slaughter
Wants to Play
9th 'Star' Game
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla., Feb.
22—(M —E no s Slaughter, the
ever-hustling country boy, wants
to make a ninth All-Star game
before he calls it quits.
Not that Enos, a St. Louis Card
inal since 1938, is thinking of
quitting.. Perish the thought. He'll
probably be pounding up th e
baseline for many years.
. Slaughter, approaching 'his 36th
birthday, never lost his zest for
baseball. His latest ambition is to
play that ninth All-Star game to
match the No. .9 he always wears
on his uniform back.
" Always a Cardinal
"I've been ready to come down
here since the season closed," he
said. "I'm as anxious as any kid.
Sure things get a little rougher.
It's harder to get in condition but,
in my mind, I feel just like I did
when I first came to a baseball
camp out 'of high school in 1935."
Slaughter, has seen managers
come and go in his long stay
with the Cardinals. He only spent
three years in the minors. With
the exception of war . service in
1943-44-45, the old country boy
has been with the Cardinals all
the way.
'The Only Way'
There were Frankie Frisch, Ray
Blades, an d Billy Sbuthworth.
After the war, Enos played for
Eddie Dyer, • Marty Marion and
now Eddie Stanky.
"I'll •play for Eddie just like
I played for all the rest," he said.
"Give 'em everything you've got.
Try to win. That's the only way."
"You get out of this game, just
what you put into it. -Nothing
more."
Slaughter isn't supposed to be
here until Monday. This early
camp is for pitchers and catchers
but wild horses couldn't keep• him
away.
First day out he grabbed a bat
for a pe p p el , game and they
couldn't wrestle it • out of his
hands for 45 minutes. He even
plays pepper, to win. That's the
kind of guy he is.

Performing before a packed
house of nearly• 12,000 fans, the
Lions put on a good show, but
fell to the superior power and
class of the king-pins of inter
collegiate boxing.

er, finally hit his stride and got
the Lions off to a good start with
a 30-27 decision over Bob Henes
