Le high. One of the biggest assets the Orangemen from New York posses is several veterans who have defeated some of Penn State’s outstanding grapplers. Dick Lemyre Returns In the opening encounter, Syra cuse’s Bob Heilman shouldn’t be too much trouble for the Lion’s EIWA champion, Bob Homan, 123 pounder.

Champions Face Boxers In Syracuse Eastern Intercollegiate box ing champion Syracuse pro vides the stiff opposition against which Penn State’s boxing team tries for victory number one tonight in Syra cuse, N.Y. The Orange -mittmen, eleven time and twice-consecutive EIBA champs, are. unbeaten in four matches already this season, but have been held to a draw. This lone blot on the Syracuse record was applied by Maryland in the season opener during the Sugar- Bowl tourney. However, Syracuse rebounded strongly to knock off tough Mi ami U., to take revenge on Mary land, and then to defeat Vir ginia. On the other hand the Nittany Lions have still hot been able to reach the right side of the ledg er. They bowed to Maryland in the opener and last week, fell be fore NCAA runnerup, Michigan State. Three EIBA champs in the'Or ange lineup make State’s first win bid difficult. Syracuse has champs Art Nelson returning in the 132-pound division and John Granger; at 139. Although he fin ished runnerup last year, 165- pounder Bill Miller nabbed an EIBA championship the year be fore. Three other veterans and two standout newcomers give the Orange a strongly balanced team at every weight class. For the Lions .only one line up change is likely. That will be in the 156-pound class where Steve Melmeck will replace Hank Arnold, who has a 1-1 record in his first varsity season. Three Nittanies will be at tempting to preserve unbeaten records. They are heavyweight Andresevic (0-0-2), 139-pounder Tony Flore (2-0) and 176-pounder Adam Kois (1-0-0). Lineups Penn State Syracuse Sam Marino 125 Tom Coulter Joe Reynolds 132 Art Nelson Tony Flore 139 John Granger Stan Engle 147 Larry O'Sullivan Steve Melmeck 156 Eddie Martin Dick Cameron 165 Bill Miller Adam Kois L 76 Yince Rigolosi Bill Andresevic Hwt.

Heavyweight Dick Beyer, whom Speidel termed extra strong, should be another test for 'Jthe Lions’ fine wrestler, Hud Sam son. Unbeaten Beyer, who co captained the Sugar Bowl foot ball team, has defeated State’s pride of the heavyweights, Lynn 11-lingworth. Lions Still Winless Melmeck Fights 156 Sax Leads Lions Into NAAU Meet Another red hot battle appears destined tonight between Penn State’s Ollie Sax and Mai Whitfield, as the two prepare to compete in the 600 yard run at the 64th annual American indoor track and field championships at New York’s Madison Square Garden. Sax and three other Lion trackmen will compete tonight ah' 15 National AAU titles are put on the line. Along with the phenomenal Sax, Coach Chick Werner will send shot-putter Rosey Grier and' high jumper Jim Herb into action. Freshman Art Pollard will com pete in the 60-yard dash an an uiiattached entry. - ‘ The classic story of the Sax-Whitfield races began four weeks ago when the two met in the 600-yard gallop"in the Philadelphia In quirer games. Marvelous Mai won that one with the Lion sophomore finishing' second, and that has been the story ever since. In three races following their first meeting, Whitfield, ranked as the best middle distance runner in competition today, has finished first each time, with Sax right at his heels. In the Buermeyer “500" at the New York AC games, Whitfield set a new world record, ripping off a 56.6. At the same time, Sax, finishing second, tied the old record, tinning in a 56.9. Whitfield has failed seven times in his attempts to win the event. In last year’s 'meet Sax whipped him, although finishing second to Charlie Moore of the New York AC. * Whitfield has stated that he will , not .' only 'be shooting “600” victory, but also for a new meet record. “I’m in top shape how, and only a cold kept me from bettering the 600 record up in Boston two weeks ago,” he said. But Sax cannot be' counted out.’ The young speedster has been coming fast ever since the indoor season got underway five weeks ago, and ■ although Whitfield has been almost flawless, Sax could beat him with a good nighty??. Grier, who set a new Penn State shot put record against Army two weeks ago when he tossed the sphere 51%, will be meeting the best in the world in that department. Jim Fuchs, world record holder, won the event 1 last year with a 53-3% mark. ■ High jumper Herb will go into the meet with a definite disad vantage. Because there is no room in R.ec Hall for the jumper to practice, he has been forced to move out-of-doors. However, the weather has been so cold and wet the past few weeks that Herb has been unable to practice to any extent. J. Lewis Hall, University of Florida, won the event in the 1952 meet, hitting 6-6. < Pollard, the sprinting freshman with a bright looking future, will also be meeting top contenders, Last year’s winning mark ia the 60 yard was a fast 6.3 seconds. Pollard has only' been in compe tition once this season. He ran in the Washington Star meet and finished third in' the 70, 80, and 100 yard dashes, behind Art Bragg, 1952 Olympic performer. . , • ' The Lions, with only three official, entries, stand a very 'slim chance to pick up enough points to capture a team victory. The New York AC won the team championship last year, with former Penn Stater Horace Ashenfelter leading the way, chalking up a three mile victory. Next Saturday Werner will take his squad to New York again to compete in the IC4A meet at the Garden..'
