Mountaineers Host
Lion Cagers Tonight
the Nittany cagers will have to do a better job at rebounding than they have been
if they hope to take tonight's contest with the Mountaineers at Morgantown, W. Va.
Never quite up to par on their board work, the Lions will be hard pressed to con
trol the rebounds against the Mountaineers, who can, if necessary, field a team averag
ing 6-6 1 / 2 . -
Coach Red Brown can sen
Witting at 6-7, for his guards and
then round out the team with
6-6 Willie Bergines, 6-5 Pete
White, and 6-5 George Davis.
More than likely, however, Brown
will count on his three veterans
from last year's sensational team
to start the contest.
At the forward position and
averaging 15.4 points a game is
the speedy Eddie Becker, who
was the big gun. against State last
year. The other forward position
,is filled by Captain Jim Sottile,
who is pacing the Mountaineer
attack this year with an average
of 18 points per game; another
veteran, Red Holmes, will be in
at guard. The team will be round
ed out with Coil and Bergines.
The latter is filling the guard slot
in place of letterman Mack Is
ner, who is out with a broken
thumb.
Ninth in Nation
The Mountaineers will be out
to take their tenth win in 13
starts while the Lions wil be af
ter number eight in 11 games.
Last year the West Virginia
quintet ranked ninth in the na
tion with a record of 23 wins and
four losses: two of these setback
were by the Lions. Favored in
both games, mainly because of
their all-American Mark •Work
man, who is now playing profes
sional ball with the Philadelphia
Warriors, the Mountaineers lost
the first one, 60-61 and the last
one, 65-84.
Workman Graduates
The much publicized dual be
tween Workman and State's sen
sational frosh, Jesse Arnelle, nev
er materialized as the pressing
Lions were able to hold 'the big
center to 13 points in two games.
He had been averaging 23 per
game.
This year Workman has grad
uated and Arnel]e is still around

By SAM PROCOPIO
"It's a toss-up" That is what
most wrestling enthusiasts would
say for the Lehigh-Penn State
dual meet Saturday in Rec Hall.
Why?
Coach Charlie Speidel's once
victorious wrestling squad will
face one of the best teams in the
East• (second only to Penn State).
If not in the nation.
13 Times EIWA Champs
The Engineers advancing inter
est in wrestling has been helpful
to the prestige they now possess.
Unlike the Nittany Lions,' Le
high's . sports program includes
varsity, freshmen, and junior var
sity wrestling.
Wrestling calibre at Lehigh ha_
been so outstanding, in fact, that
the Engineers have captured the
annual coveted Eastern Intercol
legiate wrestling championship
13 times since 1927. Five times
they have finished second in that
same period.
Won and lost records, which
don't reveal much unless on e

dle that Penn State's EIWA
chsmpionship squad will jump
this weekend: Dual meets be
tween the schools do, however.
Lehigh Always Strong
The Lion grapplers in 19 4 5

the Engineers, but then Lehigh

seasons.

At the present time he is aver
aging 15.5 points in ten games
with a total of 155 tallies .(Last
year' he was averaging 18.9 a
game.)
Most of State's scoring load this
season has been carried by their
Captain Herm Sledzik, who now
has 175 tallies in ten games at a
17.5 percentage. The tall senior
has shown great improvement
over last year and has been scor
ing most of his points on a drive

In ten games the other starters
show Ed Haag with 53 points:

Johnny Coil at 6-10 and Pau
Penn State's Rip Engle took
issue today with bowl-iinspired
attacks on Eastern football.
He termed lambasting of the
East because of Syracuse's poor
showing against Alabama in the
Orange Bowl as "unwarranted
and completely unfair."
Insisting that "one swallow
doesn't make a summer," the
Lion coach cited Pittsburgh's late
season rout of New York in the i
pro league as "an excellent ex
ample of what can happen in foot
ball en any given day."
In defense of the Eastern brand
of college football, Engle pointed
to Penn's draw with, and Pitt's
defeat of Notre Dame, his . own
team's tie with Purdue's Big Ten
co-champions, an d Villanova's
success in intersectional play.
"Let's not indict Eastern foot
ball because of one bad game,"
he pleaded. "Any . seasoned ob
server knows that is unwarranted
and completely unfair."

Delta Uptilon Listed
In Top IM Ratings
Delta Upsilon, last year's number-three fraternity in the intra
mural all-year point totals, was officially listed yesterday as the
top team in the 1952-53 race, according to the intramural depart
ment's initial report.
The DU's, with a total of 365 points, gathered in four tourna
ments, are 125 points ahead of the nearest clubs, Sigma Nu and
Beta Theta Pi. Both have 240.
Delta Upsilon annexed its fourth straight boxing title, this sea
son along with a final, berth in the football tourney in picking up
its points.
Other individual champions are the surprise outfit of the young
season, Alpha Phi Delta, who captured the football crown, and
Delta Tau Delta in the golf-medal tourney. Delt John Carney was
the medalist.
The Alpha Phi Delts, who literally came from nowhere to promi
nence in the IM fraternity proceedings in the short space of one
season, are resting comfortably in fourth place with a total of 180
points
Behind the football kings in the fifth position in the standings
is the swimming runner-up, Delta Sigma Phi. Rounding out the top
nine clubs are Phi Sigma Kappa, Kappa Sigma, Delta Tau Delta,
and Delta Chi.
The defending Phi Delts weren't the only outfit to tail-spin in
the standings. Alpha Tau Omega, last year's fourth-place team, and
Sigma Chi, the number-five outfit last season, dropped to 16th and
17th places, respectively.
