SATURDAY. FEBRUARY 20. 1954 Sax, Pollard to Run in Garden Tonight Penn State Runners Will Face Nation's Best in AAU Meet Art Pollard and 011ie Sax will once again be up against the "best in the business" tonight when they compete on the boards at Madison Square Garden, N.Y. in the Amateur Athletic Union meet. This year's indoor season has produced some of the finest per :orrnances on record. The keen competition has pitted champion against champion in many events. Pollard will be facing the finest field of sprinters ever assembled in the 60-yard dash. The "Coates ville Comet" turned in his best performance several weeks ago with a second place finish. Stanfield in 60-yard Sprints Nittany Coach Chick Werner, pointed out that many of the com petitors have had much more ex perience than his young runners. There are such stalwarts as Andy, Stanfield, Lindy Remigino in the 60-yard dash to illustrate his point. Most runners .do not hit their peak until they are about 28 years old. Ths puts the collegiate per formers at a disadvantage, since most of them are only about 20. 2 Quintets Clinch IM Loop Titles Sigma Nu and Theta Kappa Phi, fraternity intramural basketball teams, have emerged as champions of their respective leagues. Sig ma Nu easily defeated Delta Theta Sigma, 43-9, at Rec Hall Thurs day night to take league D hon ors. Theta Kappa Phi, however, found things just a little tougher as they edged Triangle, 31-25, to gain the league C championship. Edward Ritter led Sigma Nu in their big with 22 points. Sig ma Nu has a game remainina ''' on their schedule, but even a loss could not keep them from the fi nals which will. start March 1. Gabriel Lensack scored eight points in the second half to help Theta Kappa Phi win their title. Clinches Tie Sigma Chi clinched at least a tie in league A with a 29-20 triumph over Phi Kappa Sigma. In another league A game, Zeta Beta Tau was handed its sixth loss in a row, 32-22, to Alpha Sigma Phi. Don ald Ferguson scored 10 points for the Alpha Sigs 7 Kappa Delta Rho and Phi Sig ma Delta won their league B games to remain in a first place tie with 6-0 records. George Simp son scored 14 points for the KDR's in their 34-9 larruping of Pi Kap-, pa Phi. Phi Sigma Delta's win was a 23-13 lacing of Lambda Chi Alpha. The league B championship will be decided next Thursday when Kappa Delta Rho and Phi Sigma Delta meet. TICE Wins Tau Kappa Epsilon ended its league C play with a 33-29 victory over Pi Kappa Alpha. The win brought TKE's final record' to read five wins against two losses. Sigma Phi Epsilon also won its final to post a 5-2 record. Alpha Phi Delta fell, 24-19. Finally, in a league E contest, Phi Delta Theta, aided by a strong second half, whipped Theta Chi, 37-22. •-• PIAA Tourney At University The 18th annual Pennsylvania InterscholaStic Athletic Associa tion state wrestling championships will be held March 13 at the Uni versity, the Associated Press re ported yesterday.

By HERM WEISKOPF NEW. YORK, Feb. 19 (11 3 )—If Josey Barthel is going to break the indoor mile running record, he'll have to do it tomorrow night in the 66th National A AU championships. Barthel, th e . "Luxembourg Limited" who rocketed to fame by winning the 1952 Olympic 1500 meters title, has been tab bed as a threat to Gil Dodds' standard-board-track mark of 4:05.3 in every meet this seas son. ' So far, with no one to push him, Josy i hasn't satisfied the record-hungry fans. Gauging his pace so as to win comfort ably, he has made time of 4:07.- 5, 4:07.7 and 4:08.5. At that rate, Barthel shouldn't have much trouble beating Dodds' In ee I record of 4:08.3, unless the big ger-than-usual field b other s him. Despite this handicap Pollard, who is only 19, has done well so far this season. The sophomore speed-merchant ran the 100-yard dash in 0:09.8 as a freshman. Other Young Stars Other top notch young runners in the 60-yard event have gained prominence this season. Penn's national titlist, sophomore Johnny Haines, and Villanova's newest sensation, Mike Agostini of Trini dad, have attracted wide recog nition. Agostini rewrote the rec ord book 'Jan. 23 in the Washing ton Evening Star meet when he shaved two tenths of a second off the old mark with a clocking of 0:09.6. Mal Whitfield, who has won Olympic Gold Medals in the 1948 and 1952 Games, leads the parade of stars in the 600. Reggie Pear man and Fred Schlereth are two other aces. Pearman defeated Mar velous Mal in the Inquirer meet in one of the biggest upsets of the indoor campaign. Since that time Whitfield has been invince able. Sax and Pollard have both run on the Nittany crack mile relay squad, Pollard as leadoff man and Sax in the anchor position. ' 2.11 &Id is traditional for collegians on a holiday.

The Lion 137-pound stand out will be after his 18 successive dual meet victory. Crane has a 6-0 record this year. The dual meet will not be the only real test for Speidel's mat men, but for two updoming soph omores; namely, Joe Krufka and Bill Oberly. These two promising grapplers should meet the two best in' their respective classes if they face 177-pound Joe Gattuso and heavyweight Pete Blair. Blair has pinned five out of the six men he has met. The Lions have registered vic tories over Cornell, Lehigh, Ar my, Maryland, and Syracuse, while Navy has posted wins over North Carolina,' Penn, Maryland, Cornell, and Columbia. The Mid shipmen's lone defeat came at the hands of Pittsburgh, 15-13. Boxers -- (Continued from, page six) "toughies" similar to their recent' dual meet competition. The Lions will first face the University of Virginia's boxing team on the second leg of the four match trip which started with the Badgers of Wisconsin. Last year Virginia's Wahoos dumped the Lions 4 1 / 2 -3 1 / 2 . Coach Albert York's mittmen posted a 4-2-1 record, bowing to South Carolina, 6 1 / 2 -2 1 / 2 , and mighty Syracuse, 6 1 / 2 -1 1 / 2 . Following the Virginia match, the Lions will travel to the Cadet stronghold at West Point, March 6. Army, carding a 3-5 record last year, dumped the Lions at Rec Hall, 5-3 and placed second in the Eastern tourney. Cadet Ed Men dell, struggled to the semi-finals of the Eastern tourney last year only to be knocked out of the race by Adam Kois, the 178- pound Eastern ring champ. Louisiana State will host the Lions in the mittmen's final 1954 boxing match. The Tigers from Baton Rouge, La., won two match es last year, while tying one and losing two. In addition to the Lions' three road opponents, plenty of action will be left for them to aim at during the season. Penn State will return to Vir ginia March 12-13 for the annual, and usual hotly contested baffle for the honors in Eastern boxing.

ET SAM PROCOPIO , . , Collegian Sports Editor !:•• ,•"tteY'' '-' ANNAPOLIS, Md.—lf there is a team which deserves to stop Penn State's wrestling dual meet winning streak, it's Navy. Winning streaks are not new here at the Naval Academy. In fact, the Midshipmen once had one of their own. And it's for this reason that we believe Navy should have the - privilege to halt the Lions, if anyone. Back in 1950, Penn State's matmen came here to battle one of the finest wrestling powers in the country. The Lions won. With it went down the drain Navy's elongated 52-game winning skein. Only other team had the opportunity to put the ax to Navy's success. That was Princeton which battled the Middies to a 14-14 draw two weeks before the Lions handed the damaging blow. Although many fans would be inclined to call Penn States victory the sport's biggest upset, the one which is written as the biggest upset of all came on March 12, 1935, when Penn State overwhelmed Navy al Recreation Hall at State College, 29-3, before what was said to be 6500 fans. "Of the 6500 spectators," it was written, "at least 6475 of them were dumbfounded when the Lions won by a 26-point margin. Before the meet, the general opinion was that Navy would win by a narrow margin." Two years later, Navy was again victim of Penn State's start ling power. This time the Nittany Lions decisively defeated Navy 30-0. the first time that any wrestling team ever shutout the Midshipmen. Penn State's scuttling of Navy's record of 52 consecutive meets recalls a greater spotless streak in intercollegiate sports. That one belongs to the Lions soccer team. According to the New Encyclo pedia of Sports, Frank Menke puts it consisely: "The greatest performance in intercollegiate soccer is to the credit of Penn State College. For eight seasons in a row Penn State engaged in 65 games and was unbeaten, being tied five times. The coach was William Jeffrey who rates as the most famous of all soccer tutors," On Nov. 5, 1932, Coach Jeffrey saw his hooters drop a 2-1 con test to Syracuse. Not until nine years and ten days later—Nov. 15, 1941—did he see them lose again, this time to Army. Speaking of great spotless records, Penn State's matmen are far from the National record. The record is held by Oklahoma A&M which has won more than 100 consecutive dual meets without defeat. Then too, only several years ago its biggest rivalry, Okla homa University, halted its 76-win skein. This year the Sooners of Oklahoma were sporting a 32-dual meet streak until they met Oklahoma A&M. The Aggies pinned the Sooners twice this season, 17-11, and 17-6. With this in mind, should the Lions cop their 34th here at the Naval Academy, they will still claim the title of "wrestling's winningest team today."
