On Pins; Lions Win 24th
By SAM PROCOPIO
A versatile Penn State wrestling squad secured its 24th
consecutive dual meet victory last night in Rec Hall when
it pinned a comparatively weak Red and Blue Penn team,
28-0, before some 5000 eager fans.
The Nittany Lions’ second stringers proved they are
capable of holding their own when five of Coach Charlie
Speidel’s “second best” scored
wins.
Speidel’s Eastern intercollegiate
champions’ excellent victory
proved to be devastating for the
Quakers. It was their fifth suc
cessive defeat. Only once during
the entire dual meet did a Penn
matman endanger any early Penn
State lead. This came in the 147-
pound battle when Bill Hoffman
obtained a reversal after State’s
Bill Krebs took his opponent
down. In the second period, how
ever, the fast and swift Krebs
came back strongly with another
reversal. On the reversal, Penn
State’s impressive newcomer al
most had a near fall, but Hoffman
slid off the mat on one shoulder.
Homan Scores Fall
Speidel, who has had his boys
moving up and down the scales,
had Doug Cassel go down from
his usual 130-pound division to
the 123 spot. Cassel had little
trouble in teaching. his opponent
how to get points. Leading 4-1
at the start of the third period,
Cassel took down his opponent
three times, escaped once, and
had his foe in a near fall position,
scoring a total of nine points. Two
points for time advantage gave
Cassel his second win, of the sea
son, 15-3. /
Bob Homan, the 123-p ound
EIWA champion : who moved up
one weight, made Tom Jones ob
serve Rec Hall’s lights with a
three-quarter nelson and leg drop
in 6:24. Homan, who wrestles on
one knee/ was leading 6-2 at the
time of the fall. The victory was
Homan’s fourth of the season and
seventh irr succession.

State’s 137-pounder broke away
from the hold and took Shea
down. It was Fomicola all the
way from there.
Dvorozniak • Wins First
Scoring the second fall of the
evening was State’s Bill Shawley.
The 157-pound newcomer pinned
Penn’s.most outstanding grappler
and captain,,Ed Agnew, with a
reverse cradle in 7:27. Shawley’s
fall put the Quakers further in
the red. By this time the score
read 19-0. <
George Dvorozniak, who lost
his initial match as a Penn Stater,
wrestled his foe with- ease, de
cisioning Russ Down 6-2. Dvoroz
niak’s attempt for a fall w.as halt
ed as the buzzer ended the second
period. The win was his first of
the season.
Samson Decisions. Assiff
Co-captain Joe Lemyre decis
ioned Penn’s Ray Walker, 6-0. The
EIWA and NCAA champion
scored early with a take-down.
It wasn’t until the second period
that the barrel-chested 177-pound
er received two more points.
Wrestling from the referee’s posi
tion, Lemyre obtained a reversal
of position and had little chance
of doing any more scoring after
that. His 177-pound opponent was
wrestling 'in a shell, leaving no
chance, if any, for open wrestling.
The victory was Lemyre’s sixth
consecutive win and ninth un
beaten dual meet.

For Lions With 16 Points
By TED SOENS
With their second string playing most of the game, the
Penn ..State cagers walked their way to the 10th win of the.
season in Rec Hall last night by downing American Univer
sity, 69-53.
At no time during the game were the Eagles able to get
within breathing distance of the Lions who scored 18 points
the first quarter; 15 the second half; 18 the third quarter
and 10 points in the final period. I ”
State took the lead from the
start with Ronnie Weidenham
mer sinking a set shot. American
University used a sliding zone de
fense much the same as the Lions
but good feeding from Dave Ed
wards and Weidenhammer into
pivot man Herm Sledzik or under
the boards to Jesse Arnelle pulled
the Lions ahead where they stayed
the. rest of the game.
Arnelle, who was high man for
the Lions with .16, did most of
the scoring for the Lions in the
first quarter and sank all of th 6
foul shots in the first half. Eirst
quarter ended just as Jack Sherry
took a long-running set shot with
