Matmen to Seek
By SAM PROCOPIO
Records are made to be broken. And there is no
greater feeling than to erase records held by other
colleges. Since Penn State’s matmen claim most
records, all that the grapplers can do is. better
their marks.
When Coach Charlie Speidel’s men take to the
road against the Orangemen of Syracuse for to
morrow’s dual meet, they will be out to better
their longest winning skein in history—24 con
secutive victories.
This task, however, will be much more difficult
than it was against Penn Wednesday. In fact, Spei
del intends to send nothing but his best against
the Syracuse aggregation.
The Penn ; State matmen . will leave with Coach
Ed Sulkowski’s boxing team for New -York this
afternoon.
The Nittany Lion’s so-called “murder’s row”
Lion Boxers Leave
For Orange Match
Still looking for victory number one, Penn State’s boxing team today heads for
Syracuse, N.Y. the home of Eastern Intercollegiate Boxing Association Champion Syra
cuse, not exactly an easy place for picking up wins. . ■
Losers in two starts this season, the Lion sluggers will be attempting to upset the
Orange tomorrow night at 8:30.
Coach Eddie Sulkowski plans
one major change in his lineup
against the champions. In place
of 156 pounder Hank Arnold (1-1),
Sulkowski will start Steve Mel
meck. A junior, Melmeck will be
making his first varsity appear
ance.
Otherwise the Lions will line up
the same as they did while going
down before Michigan ' State,
514-3%, last week.
Andresevic Still Unbeaten
In the 125 pound bracket EIBA
champ Sammy Marino will be at
tempting to get his first win of
the season. The Nittany captain
dropped a split decision to a Mary
lander and last week earned a
draw to leave his record, at 0-lrl.
Sam will probably face Tom Coul
ter.
Heavyweight Bill Andresevic
could possibly get his first win if
he can avoid the cut-eye bugaboo
which has twice stopped him from
getting past the first round. In the
Maryland opener, Bill’s opponent
was cut in the first frame so the
fight was declared a draw, and
last week against the Spartans
Bill had his eye cut in the first
round and again the result was
a draw. Bill’s foe will probably
be Bill Winney, who is reportedly
better than his 0-2 record indi
cates.
Cameron Seeks Ist Win
Also in the unbeaten class with
Andresevic and 139 pounder Tony
Flore is lightheavy Adam Kois.
Adam opened the season with a
lopsided win over a Marylander
and then last week had to settle
with a draw against a Michigan
Stater on a highly questionable
decision. Adam will run into a
tough foe in the 176 class if he
should face the Orange’s unbeaten
Vince Rigolosi.
Nittany 165 pounder Dick Cam
eron will make his third attempt
to crash the- winner’s circle but
as in his last two bouts will meet
a top-notch foe. Syracuse will
probably throw ' Dick Miller,
EIBA champ in 1951 and runnerup
last year, against Cameron.
A first-year man like Cameron,
Stan Englg also is still searching
Sees 'Troop' Return
A 1 Michaels, veteran Penn
State aide, forsees a revival of
“shock troops” in th eone-pla
toon football era. He believes
coaches will use these “troops”
in relief and also as an instru
ment to “wear down” opposing
manpower. .

Adam Kois
(Tries for 2d)
for 147-pound win number one.
He probably will meet Larry O’-
Sullivan, a Syracuse newcomer
who has been unusually good in
three early season bouts against
Maryland and Miami U.
Making his second 132 pound
start of the season since supplant
ing Sam Butler, Joe Reynolds will
try to hit the victory stride after
losing a narrow 29-28 decision
last week. Reynolds will have no
less a foe than EIBA champ Art
Nelson.
and formidable brother act of Dick and Co-captain
Joe Lemyre and Doug and Co-captain Don Frey
will be included in the wrestling contingent'.
The probable four other grapplers will be com
prised of EIWA champion, Bob Homan, Jerry
Maurey, George Dvorozniak, and Hud Samson.
With the return of Dick Lemyre to the lineup
the Lions* will possess the added punch that will
be necessary. The slippery and agile 130-pounder
will seek to stretch his 11 dual meet victory string
to 12. The EIWA champion failed to see action in
the Navy meet because he had to remain home on
doctor’s orders. Wednesday night he was absent
because Speidel wanted to give some of his “second
best” a chance to gain .some experience.
The second stringers certainly received their
necessary experience and lived up to Speidel’s
praise.
Fencing Club
issues Cal!
For Members
A call for new members has
been issued by .the Penn State
Fencing Club, a group devoted to
the art of self-defense with a
sword-like weapon.
Membership is open to anyone
on campus, and previous exper
ience is unnecessary. The club
furnishes necessary equipment.
Primary concern is concentrat
ed on various fencing postures,
aids in body coordination, and the
proper utilization of energy dur
ing active competition.
Candidates are familiarized
with three types of fencing weap
ons. The foil, a training weapon;
the epee, a dueling weapon;’and
the sabre, primarily a combat
weapon, are used.
As it does not take long to learn
the fundamentals of fencing, the
new fencer is engaged in combat
after only a few lessons. Each
member is protected during his
fencing engagements by a mask,
a glove, and a padded vest.
Practices dre held at 7 p.m.
Tuesdays and Thursdays and at
1 p.m. Saturdays on the third
floor of the water tower.

f&ickey, Kiner Meet
HOLLYWOOD, (JP) Pitts
burgh’s home run slugger Ralph
Kiner, 30, goes to bat today
against the salary pitching of
baseball’s mahatma, Branch Rick-'
ey.
They’ve scheduled a meeting to
talk money matters.
Earlier this year Rickey sent
his son, Branch Jr., sometimes
known as. the twig, out to talk
with Kiner. At that time Ralph
said he’d take a cut in his $90,000
salary of 1952, but believed a pro
posed 25 per cent slash was just
too much.
Three Eastern titlists will spear
head Penn State’s bid for another
unbeaten wrestling season in 1953.
BIG FEBRUARY SALE!
at Syracuse
“Our boys were pushing all the way,” the stocky
mentor said. “They did a fine, job.”
Some of the 5000 fans who witnessed the 28-0
massacre were asking themselves: “Why. didn’t
our. big boys like Joe Lemyre and Hud Samson
throw their opponents?” . >
Speidel’s explanation hit. the nail on the head:
“No matter how inferior a team is, it will give
your boys trouble. An inferior wrestler is going'
to try to save his honor, although he knows he
,is going to get beat.” . ' ,
“A contest,” continued Speidel, “is ,a. contest
when both boys are evenly matched and are . out
to win.” . • --■ •• ; “-
Although wrestling in a shell is not appreciated' ’
by the spectator, at least Penn State fans can say:
“Our foes know who is champion^’
