Thinclads Squeeze by Pitt
Lorch Clinches 67-64
Win With Pale Vault Tie
Sloshing over a rain-drenched Beaver Field track, the
Penn State track and field team won its second dual meet of
the season Saturday, squeezing by the University of Pitts
burgh, 67-64
And for the second week in a row the Lions had to wait
for the results of the final event before they clinched the vic
tory. The first came against Navy when the mile relay team
snapped a 63-63 tie to win the meet, and Saturday it was the
pole vault that made the differ
ence.
Captain Dan Lorch's tie for first
place gave, the Lions their final
four points of the meet—enough
to stay ahead of the hustling Pan
thers. At that point the Lions led
63-59. but with all other events
cohipleted, they needed at least a
second place in the vault for the
win. Lorch's 13-foot lift was
enough to tie him with Pitt's Don
Minihan and the Lions had their
second straight triumph.
Sweep 220-Yard Dash
However, it may have been a
surprising sweep in the 220-yard
dash that made the difference
against the Panthers. Led by
Flashy Art Pollard, the Nittanies
picked up 9 fat points on a one,
two; three finish. Skip Slocum fin
ished second and Bruce Austin,
third. Pollard's time in the race
*as 21 seconds. The sweep gave
the Lions a 47-34 margin after
they had carried a 38-34 edge.
Pollard also sped to a win in the
100-yard dash, setting a new meet
record with a 0:9.7 clocking. It was
the second week in a row that he
won both races. Despite the sloppy
track both times Saturday bet
tered his previous marks.
Grier, Blockson Win Again
And for the second week in a
row Werner's weight duet, Rosey
Grier and Chuck Blockson, swept
the field. Grier won both the shot
put and the javelin and Blockson
- hulled in a record breaking per
fOrtnance in the discus.
His 157' 10 1 / 4 " toss easily bet
tered the meet record and edged
his own Penn State record by a
quaiter of an inch. Grier powered
the shot 52' 10 1 / 4 " finishing ahead
of Blockson. Grier fired the jave
lin 179' 11%" in his winning ef
forts in that event.
Doug Moorhead and Red Hollen
both won their specialties for the
second straight week. Moorhead
legged the mile in 4:20.5 and Hol
len a 9:31.5 in the grueling two
mile race.
Monahan Wins Hurdles
Favored Wally Monahan swept
to victories in both the 220 and
120 hurdling events. But he had
to move to keep game Bill Youk
ers off his heels. Monahan cut
the tape in both events a stride
ahead of the Lion hurdler. His
winning time in the 120 was 0:14.9.

Rutgers Stickmen
Slug Lions, 20-7
The sun finally came out from behind the clouds Saturday at
Beaver Field, but furnished no inspiration to the Penn State lacrosse
team which went down to its second 20-7, defeat in succession.
Rutgers spotted the Lions a 1-0 lead after just 22 seconds of
play, but shot to a 6-1 lead before the first quarter was over
The first-period Lion quickie
was tallied by Al Fulton who
added three more before the day
was over. Fulton now stands just
two goals shy of the Penn State
individual scoring mark of 21.
Bob Andrews was the Scarlet's
big gun, collecting three goals
and four assists for his efforts.
Poor passing and even worse
15allhandline, on the part of the
Lions made things easy- for Rut
gers. Duane Ekedahl, regular
Scarlet goalie, was forced to the
sidelines because of sickness.
Coach Red Twitchell replaced him
with Al Barbero who had never
seen action in goal before.
With just nine seconds remain
ing in the first period, Fulton

taking a pass from Ronnie Youtz.
That narrowed the count to 6-2.
Rutgers scored five times in the
second quarter while only Bob
Hamel could cash in for the losers.
The Lions showed signs of re
covery at the outset of the third
period as Dick Klein and Jim Hay
scored back-to-back tallies to
bring the Lions within five at
11-6. But Rutgers got those back
quickly. Andrews banged in a
rebound over, a sprawled Don
Bell and seconds later Bob Kelley
countered after a neat fake to
get past a Lion defender. From
there on Rutgers showed no mercy
in completing the 20-7 rout.
