Matmen Win 6th as Oberly, Shawley Score With Palls As Coach Charlie Speidel's matmen hung up their 1954 schedule at Penn yesterday afternoon, they not only white washed the Quakers but left the identical impression the Nit tany Lions did last year. That was a 28-to-0 score. It was the same script, only the won and lost record and names were changed to protect the ignorant. The triumph, which gave Penn State's defending Eastern and National champions a 6-2 log for the season, was the only shutout by the Lions this year. Baseball's Big League Dope Sheet TAMPA, Fla., March 3 (JP)— Who said baseball hasn't .had a 40-game winner since Jack Ches bro in 1904? The Chicago White Sox have a rookie pitcher in camp who won 42 games since last • spring. Jack Harshman is the name. The 26-year-old lefthander won 23 at Nashville in the regular sea son, adding four more in th e SOuthern Assn. playoffs and then hopped to Puerto Rico to win 15 more with San Juan in the Win ter League. Does the name sound familiar? If you're a New York Giant fan, it should. For Harshman is the former first baseman who came up as a pitcher in the dog days of the '52 pennant race to start a game that brought the wolves howling around Leo Durocher. TUCSON, Ariz. Newcomer Dave' Philley a right field regular for the Cleveland Indians? Wally Westlake has something to say about that. The 32-year-old Westlake, a .330 hitter last year, said "A check of the day-to-day records will show I hit pretty consistently. If I hadn't, Manager Al Lopez wouldn't have left me in there for 32 games." ST. PETERSBURG, Fla.—Reg ulars dominate the lineup named by St. Louis Cardinal Manager Eddie Stanky for the Redbirds' first spring exhibition game Sat urday against' the New York Yankees. The veterans picked by Stanky were Steve Bilko at first base; Red Schoendienst at second; Ray Jablonski, third; Stan Musial, left field, and Rip Repulski in center. ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. Phi Rizzuto, vetera:n shortstop and lone holdover from the pre-war championship teams, reported for work with the New York Yank ees. The small infielder said that he felt better at the start of this season than at any previous time ..n the past four years. SARASOTA. Fla. Ted Wil liams left for his Miami home to nurse his left collar bone, frac tured Monday when he tumbled while attempting to field a ball only a few minutes after he had reported for spring training with the Boston Red Sox. Wrestling Entries Are Due Today Entries fo r IM wrestling should be turned in at Rec Hall by 4:30 p.m. today, accord ing to' Dutch Sykes, assistant director of intramural athlet ics. The entry fee is 25 cents per man. The tournament will begin March 17. Ari organization may enter one contestant in each weight. Independent students may en ter as individuals and need not be members of a team. All con testants, other than alternates, must compete in the class they By SAM PROCOPIO It was Bill Shawley' arid Bill Oberly who made the most im pressive showings. Both scored falls. Oberly, Penn State's colorful heavyweight, reached wrestling's ultimate goal at the expense of Tom Agnew in 1:49 this time with a figure four and head scis sors, As far as Oberly is con cerned, you name the hold, he's done it. Thus far, he kept his op ponent's shoulder blades flush with the mat with such holds as a body press, three-quarter nel son, figure four and double, grape vine, and the recent figure four and head scissors. Against Pitt, a straight scissor and double bar arm was not quite enough to achieve his goal. Shawley, who pinned his Penn foe last year, did the same against John Hellwege, Penn 157-pound er. Shawley wasted no time in tak ing the initiative. He took Hell wege down in 15 seconds and rode him the remainder of the period. Then with Shawley at the advan tage position in the next period, he secured a three-quarter nelson that had his Penn adVersary pinned. The fall came in 4:49. Opening the dual meet for State was Bill Cramp. Cramp won his first match of the season and second as a Penn Stater when he decisioned George Evans, 6-2. Hal Byers gave Penn State a 6-0 team lead. He won out over Dave Kline, 7-3. However, Kline gave Byers an early scare as he led 3-0 at one time. The , Penn 130- pound grappler took Byers down near the close of the first period. With Byers at the advantage posi tion in the second period, Kline escaped. But then Byers took him down and almost had Kline ob serving the auditorium lights. However, Byers' effort was only good for a predicament point. A reversal and two-minutes time advantage gave Byers his seven points. In the 137-pound class, Larry Fornicola shut out Len Shea, 6-0. It was a takedown in the first period, a reversal in the third period, and riding time which told the story. The win was Fornicol,i's third 'of the season against two defeats.

Fall Penn, 28-0 yas Tonight Lions Seek 13th Victory In Rec Hall Skirmish The first of two final home basketball contests is on tap tonight as the NCAA-bound Nittany Lions go after their 13th win against Georgetown at Rec ,Hall. The opening tip-off is set for 8 p.m The Hoyas come to town trailing an unimpressive 11-16 record but promise to give the Lions a run for their money. They have height and speed and have used it very effectively at times this season Included on coach Buddy Jean nette's roster are ,four players touching the 6-4 mark. Jeannette's key man, however, is 5-10 Lou Gigante, captain, and playmaking guard. Gigante has been the core of 'the Hoya offense all season. Teamed with him at the other guard slot will be another little man, Joe Carrol, 5-10. The two are the only regulars back from last season's squad, an NIT entry. Shows P l enty of Height But after this due_ comes noth ing but tall timber. Jack Vail, 6-4 center, and Frank Major, 6-5, have been used extensively by Jeannette this year. along with sophomores Warren Buehler, 6-4, and Bill Cowley. 3-4. Each of these four has been used as a starter at different times during the season. The Lions will be meeting the Hoyas for the 30th time. Penn State holds a 16-13 edge in the series. L as t year Coach Elmer Gross' floormen squeezed by them, 73-70. A win tonight would boost the Lion record to 13-5. But it's hard to tell just what to expect from the Hoyas. The two ball clubs show only two mutual opponents. Georgetown dumped American University twice this season while the Lions Neat them in the only game played. Both clubs lost one game to Pitt. The Lions, however, whipped the Panthers once. So comparative scores don't tell much of a story. Arnelle Nears 400 The big men for the Lions as per usual will be Jesse Arnelle and Jack Sherry. Arnelle needs only 32 points in the next two games to move his season's total to the magic 400 mark for the third straight year. Sherry with 201 points has been scoring heav ily as of lc.te. He was the top scorer against Rutgers Saturday with 23 points. Along with these two Gross will send Ron Weidenhammer, Earl Fields, .and Bob Rohland, into ac tion against the Hoyas. The Lion coach used this combination for the first time this year in the Rutgers contest. The Lions play their last regu larly scheduled game at Rec Hall Saturday against Temple and then move into the opening round of the NCAA playoffs where they battle Toledo Tuesday at Fort Wayne. Ind. THURSDAY, MARCH 4: 1954 Jim Carter A;wrocc hes i nn .R.p,rord NEW YORK, March 3 (JP)— When Jimmy Carter defends the world lightweight title for the seventh time against Paddy De- Marco Friday night, he'll be ap proaching a record held by Benny Leonard. And, like Leonard, Jimmy is a boxing product of New York City although he was born in Aiken, S. C. The resemblance seems to end there. Leonard, an immensely popular boxer in the 1920'5, held the title for seven years, defended.it eight times and retired undefeated in 1925. Carter, a pedestrian sort of fighter who doesn't excite the fans, had to leave New York to get a few good paydays during the early part of his pro career. He was virtually unl:nov in his home town when he won the lightweight title by stopping Ike Williams in 14 rounds. And as champion he has had to do a lot of traveling to get fights. Although Carter's record is spotty, he keeps on winning and the fans apparently are coming around to the idea that he's a pretty good champion. Friday's tilt in Madison Square Garden is expected to draw a $40,000 gate —something less than the $452,- 640 Leonard and Lew Tendler drew at Yankee Stadium in 1925, but a fair amount for these days. And folks who'd like to bet on Jimmy have found that he is "out" on most of the books unless they want to bet he'll win by a knock out', DeMarco, ranked fourth among the lightweight challengers in the current ring magazine ratings, has a rugged, charging style that has bothered a lot of good fight ers. At 26 he's four years younger than Jimmy and has been fighting professionally a year - longer—since 1945. The one-sided aspects of the predictions apparently are based on Jinanay's habit of winning the fights that count.
