PAGE sn Intramural Swimming Record Set By EARL KOHNFELDER A new independent and frater nity intramural swimming record was set last night at Glennland Pool when the Penguin’s “Duke” Miller swam the freestyle event in 31.4 seconds. Miller, in spark ing the Penguins to a 37-4 triumph over Dorm 28, bettered the old record set by Jack Senior in 1948 by sixth tenths of a second. Earlier this season, Miller had just missed the record with a 32.1. Two more records nearly fell in the same meet. Jeremy Bijur of the Penguins failed to rewrite the backstroke record by nine tenths of a second when he swam the event in 39.3 seconds. The 120- yard relay record was also close to being broken when the Pen guin’s relayers came within one second of the mark with a 1:01.2. Another 37-4 score was regis tered when Phi Epsilon Pi trounc ed Alpha Chi Sigma. The Phi Eps earned firsts and seconds in every event, limiting the losers to just four third places. Edward Shields collected 13 points on two firsts and a second as Delta Sigma Phi walloped Theta Kappa Phi, 31-10. Shields won the freestroke and diving events and came in second in the backstroke. His winning time in the freestyle was 35.8 seconds. Delta Chi earned firsts in every event except one as they defeated Tau Phi Delta, 24-17, in an intra mural swimming meet Mon. night at Glennland Pool. John Carey won tjie free-style in 38.8; Mel vin Shira’s 51.2 was.good enough to take the back stroke; and Charles Hogan took breast-stroke honors in 47.5. Delta Chi’s other first came when the losers for feited the 120-yard relay event. Other meets saw Sigma Chi drowning Sigma Alpha Epsilon, 28-13, arid Acacia winning a 37-0 forfeit when Zeta Beta Tau failed to show up.

Lion Soccer Captain Upon Career Full of A once-in-a-lifetime trip to Iran, scoring the only Penn State goal against an all-American goalie in 1951, and living in Japan for seven months are some of the highlights of the captain and senior fullback for Penn State’s soccer eleven, Hap Irvin. Irvin attributes his opportunity of traveling with the varsity squad to Iran during his freshman year to Coach Bill Jeffrey, rather than to his usefulness on the soccer field. “There were many upper classmen on the squad who were eligible for the trip. When Bill selected me to accompany the team, I was very surprised but grateful. It proved to be the most thrilling episode of my life,” Ir vin remarked, when asked about his most vivid memories while playing soccer for Penn State. Scores Against Shiraz As usual, however, Jeffrey proved his point in taking Irvin with fourteen other soccermen. When the Lions defeated Shiraz 3-0, for their only win of the three-game schedule, Irwin tal lied. Two losses were inflicted the Penn State national collegiate champions when Teh ran shut them out 5-0 and Isfa han won, 2-0.

Coach Rip Engle’s gridders remained in the third slot in the Lambert poll. In fact, the top three listings are the same as last weeks—Army, Penn, and Penn State.

Reflects Carter-Sqvoie - Bout Scheduled For Friday MONTREAL, Nov. TO (TP)—Jim my Carter, the lightweight cham pion and not the careless fighter who loses nonrtitle bouts, defends his crown against Montreal’s Ar mand Savoie tomorrow night in the Montreal Forum. Although Carter was beaten by Savoie on a split decision last February in an over-the-weight match, the compact New York Negro is a solid favorite. There is little betting reported with local odds about'2l4 to 1. The pick here is Carter by a knockout in less than 10 rounds. Savoie, sixth-ranked challenger in the ring ratings, has little to recommend him except his vic tory over Carter nine months ago. The angular challeger, two inches taller than the 5-foot-6 Carter, has a 43-15-5 record for 61 pro fights since 1949. He has been stopped twice, the last time by Eddie Cha vez last June. The 15-round match, scheduled for 10 p.m. EST will not be car ried on radio or television.
