PAGE SIX Matmen Face Sink Midshipmen, 27-3, For 23d Straight Victory Fresh from its excellent 27-3 performance at Annapolis, Md. Saturday, Penn State’s two-time Eastern Intercollegiate wrestling champions will endeavor to alter any optimism that the Blue and Red of Penn possess for tomorrow’s dual meet in-Rec Hall. Starting time is 7 p.m. Penn brings' to the Nittany Vale an outstanding and familiar coach in Charlie Ridenour. He is a native of State College. He was thrice EIWA champion and twice NAAU titlist as a Penn Stater and served as Coach Charlie Spei del's assistant before accepting the head coaching job at Penn last year, Ridenour will bring his upset minded wrestling varsity with keen interest in making the al most impossible possible. “Fine,” exclaims the ever-color ful Speidel. “We’ll hold a recep tion for him. We'll give him everything—but the meet.” The seemingly unbeatable Lion matmen with their impressive victory over Navy secured their 23d consecutive dual meet win, dotting the record books once again. Winning in fine fashion was Bob Homan, who opened Penn State’s dual meet with a decision for the third successive time. The EIWA champion’s 123-pound op ponent, Bill Holtz, gave a well fought battle, but could not es cape any of Homan’s holds. Ho man won, 6-0. Maurey Pins Crane Art Jesser, Navy’s 130-pounder, found that Penn State’s second team is not any easier than the first when he faced a newcomer for the ’53 season in Larry For nicola. The Bellefonte grappler with his wrestling know-how, tired the veteran Jesser so quick ly in the initial period that the MSC Hands Second Straight Loss It should be a pleasure for the Nittany boxing team to turn its attention to Eastern competition forthcoming with Syracuse this weekend after being dealt its second straight loss at the hands of an out-of-section opponent, Michigan State, Saturday. The Spartans’ powerful NCAA runnerup mitt aggrega tion turned a full blast of strength' and ring experience at the Lions to win 5%-2% and remain un beaten after three matches. A sparse crowd of 1426 witnessed the bouts at East Lansing, Mich. Only Tony Flore, fancy Nittany 139 pounder, could wrest a vic tory from\a Spartan lineup pre dominant with previous years’ varsity experience. Other than Flore’s second straight win of the season, the Lions had to be content with three draws. Sammy Marino, 125, Adam Kois, 176, and Bill Andre sevic, heavyweight, earned draw verdicts to pick up half-point to tals toward team scoring. Marino Ties. 29-29 Flore’s triumph over one of Michigan State’s j best, Bob Hoff man, left him as the lone Nittany with a spotless record after two starts. His coach, Eddie Sulkow ski, said the match wasn’t as close as the 30-29 score would indicate and that he “looked good, espe cially, after getting tagged hard by a right hand in the third round.” As to the Nittany Captain Ma rino, his bout with Julian Bass was called 29-29 by the ref des pite the fact that he chased the Spartan for three rounds. The loud groans of disbelief which greeted the Marino-Bass verdict were also evident after Kois’ scrap with Alex Tsakiris $2.00 CASH PRIZE —DAILY— LAUNDCBCTTC 2TO W. COLLEGE AVE. By SAM PROCOPIO match was stopped to allow Jes ser to gain enough stamina to continue. Jesser survived for the final two periods but the best he could accomplish was a 6-2 loss. Jerry Maurey obtained his eighth successive dual meet win and his second pin this season when he gained a fall in 2:16 of his 137-pound match. The Clear field product took Navy’s Herb Crane down with a barrel roll. Then he pinned Crane with a sommersault and cradle. Wrestling for the first time in his own weight, Co-captain Don Frey also gained a fall. He pin ned Dale Crosier at 3:24 with a chancery and inside crotch. Don’s twin, Doug, registered his third win by decisioning Navy’s cap tain, John Godek, 2-1, in a nip and-tuck battle. Lemyre Wins, 4-2 Making his debut as a Nittany Lion in the 167-pound division, George Dvorozniak gave his ad versary, Joe Gattuso, a tough bat tle before losing a 7-3 decision. Navy, who had built up Pete Blair, 177-pounder, to be terrific, was just that until he faced Co- Captain Joe Lemyre who Speidel termed “sensational” in the EIWA and NCAA champion’s 4-2 win. Heavyweight Hud Samson, who is rounding into shape for endur ance came through in fine style when he pinned Navy's Hugh Webster with a chancery and in side crotch hold at 8:12. was ruled 29-29. Sulkowski re ported Kois to have looked sharp er than in winning last week. Ad am’s opponent moved down from the heavyweight class. Sulkowski Stops Two Once again a cut eye thwart ed Andresevic’s bid for victory. The only difference being that Bill/ received the cut this time while leading Spartan Wayne Keller-in the first round, and the bout was stopped. It was Bill’s second draw in the same manner in as many starts. Two other Lions were losing badly in the first round when Sulkowski called a halt. MSC’s biggest gun, 147 pound Herb Od om got a technical knockout win at 1:50 of the first round over Nittany Stan Engle. Lion Hank Arnold suffered his first varsity defeat when Sulkowski ended his 156 pound bout with Bill Green way at 1:52. Neither were hurt (Continued on page seven) THE DAILY COLLEGIAN STATE COLLEGE.'

Lion Trackmen Sparkle In Athletic Club Meet Penn State’s one mile relay team finished first in the New York Athletic Club Games Saturday night at New York’s Madison Square Garden, tagging it’s third win of the season. But its first place finish was overshadowed by the brilliant per formances of the Lions’ two second place finishers —speedster Ollie Sax, and the two mile relay squad. Sax, in finishing second, tied the worlds record for the 500 yard run—but, a scant .3 second before the whizzing sophomore crossed the finish line, Mai Whit field broke the tape to win the rgce and set a new record., Two Milers .Set Record Whitfield’s time in the Beur meyer classic was 56.6 seconds, erasing George Guida’s mark of 56.9, set in 1949 in the same race. Sax, finishing three yards behind the great Whitfield, turned in a 56.9 mark, identical to the former record time. The two mile relayers had to take a back seat to the University of Pennsylvania foursome, but in doing so broke the Penn State record for that event with a 7:46.5 effort. The record, however, will not be judged official since the quartet did not win the event. The official record was set in 1923, by a team which included two Penn State track immortals, Schuyler Enck and Allen Hel frich. It stands at 7:48.8. The one mile relay event, saw the Lions winning with a com paratively slower time than they have been turning in at past run nings. The foursome was clocked at 3:25.3, finishing ahead of Rhode Island State, Syracuse, and Provi dence. Sax Opposes Olympians Sax’s second place finish in the “500” came with a burst of speed in the final lap, as he passed Herb McKenley, holder of the world record in the 440 yard run, By dick McDowell Olympic Movies The German Club will meet at 7:30 tonight in the recrea tion room of Thompson Hall. Coach Gene Wetlstone will show movies he took of the Olympic Games at Helsinki. but he couldn’t .catch Whitfield. McKenley broke on top. at the starting gun and set an early pace. However, Whitfield came on fast in the last lap to catch the speedy Australian. Then in the stretch Sax made his bid and moved into the second place spot where he finished. John Gaffney of Villanova finished fourth. All three of Sax’s opponents competed in the 1952 Olympics. Whitfield is a two-time winner in the 800 meter run. The dual mile relay squad got off to a good start in it’s parade to second place. Leading off, Bob Gehrnan ran a 1:56.8 lap and passed the baton in the lead. Sec ond man, Don Austin, passed the stick still in the lead, after a 1:56.6 lap. When Bob Roessler finished his 1:57.4 lap the Lions were still out in front, but Penn was closing.
