PAGE SIX Trac men Thothp . Manhattan 71-59 Victory in Rain Clinches Perfect Season Fighting a heavy, chilling rain, high-powered Penn State closed out an all winning dual-meet track schedule yesterday with a smashing 71-59 victory over favored Manhattan at New York's Van Cortlandt Park. • The Lions swept to nine first place finishes in the victory, bringing their mark up to 4-0 in the final dual meet. The win snapped the Jaspers' 15-meet win streak which extended over four seasons. The steady downpour brot runways, and times were slow. Still eight Meet records fell. Rosey Grier. with a triple vic tory in the weights, Art Pollard. with two sprint wins, and Red llollen's double win in the dis tance events, provided the explo sive charge for the Lions' most convincing triumph of the year. Grier topped the field in the jave lin, shot put, and discus, but was below par because of the slippery retaining cir.!'es. Shot Record Topped _ In the shot. he managed a 50' 8%" heave for first place honors, a meet record. He won the discus with a 149' 7' 7 toss, and paced the javelin throw in 192' 4", to set an other meet standard. Teammate Chuck Blockson finished second in the discus and shot and the Nittanies' Dan Mitchinson iii the javelir. Pollard fell off his usual pace in winning the 100-yard dash as he bucked a •sloppy track. His time in the century was clocked at :9.9. In the 220, however, he clipped off a neat :20.9 for first place honors there. Manhattan's Lenny Moore and Ron Lucas finished second and third in both events. Both of Pollard's times established new meet records. Hollen Wins Two Hollen was the giant killer yes-, terday. He whipped 1953 IC4A champion Bob Sbarra in the two mile run in a record-breaking 9:24.8 and then captured the mile in another record breakiws b per formance. His time in that one was 4:18. The red-headed veteran has not been beaten in the two mile this year. Captain Dan Lorch kept his vic tory string intact with a 13' height in the, pole vault. Lorch had to cope with slippery runways but still topped the 13'' mark for the fourth time this season. His best height was a 13' 6 1 / 4 " vault last week. Dan Hutchinson grabbc - ' the second place slot. Austin Wins 880 The Lions' other win came in the 880-yard:run where Don Aus tin whipped off a 1:56.6 for blue ribbon honors. Roy Brunjes edged the Jaspers' Torn Lindgren for second place. For the second time this year Penh State had to take a back seat in the mile relay. The Lion quartet was clocked at 3:22, fin ishing behind a Manhattan com bination of Bob English, Mike Martin, Lou Jones and Vern Dix on. 011ie Sax had his Poorest- day of the season in the 440-yard run. The Nittany speedster finished fourth in the quarter behind three Manhattan runners. Jones, defend ing IC4A champ, won it in :49 seconds. Another Intercollegiate cham pion, Charlie Pratt, swept to wins in both the low and high hurdles and established two new meet marks. He nipped Penn State's Bill You hers in both events. The Jaspers also garnered wins in the high jump and broad jump. SUMMARY: POLE VAUL, T—Lorch (PS) 2 Hutchinson (PS): 13' SHOT PUT—Grier (PS), 2. Block son (PS), 3.

Seauinwith Lehigh Today Three seniors will travel the local greens this afternoon for the final time as the Nittany golf 2.quad closes its 1954 home schedule. Captain Rod Eakert and two of his lettermen teammates—Joel Webb, and Gordon Stroup—will head the Lions' attack against Lehigh. Penn State's "big four" of Eaken, Stroup, Webb, and Warren Gittlen, a junior, will head the Lions' entry. • In the final two slots of the Lions' six-man team, two sophomores will hold the anchor positions. Jim Boyanowski, playing his first season on the Perin State links, and Jim,Mayes, of Philipsburg; will meet Lehigh. Mayes has shoivn considerable imprOvement during recent weeks, but-his Match against Lehigh this afternoon will be his first collegiate dual meet. • Boyanowski, a Tiarrisburg product, is the only Nittany golfer to hold an undefeated string. After missing the Lions' first two meets this season, he has swept victories in his last four matches, Webb and Stroup haYe"s-1 rec ords; Rod Eaken, who has been off his game from the leadoff slot recently has a 4-2 card, losing his last two matches. Stroup, however, has been pac ing the Lions with a strong at tack. He has turned in medalist performances in Penn State's last. four meets winning three and dropping one Although Rutherford will count on his four regulars in the top part of his lineup, he may juggle their playing order to find a stronger attack in the foursome playoffs. All of the Lions playing this afternoon, however, who have had dual meet .opposition have records 'over the .500: Penn State has defeated Lehigh both at home and on the En gineer's Saucon Valley' Country Club during the past two years. Last year the Lions stopped . Le high, 6-3, during the middle .of their win streak which was finally stopped this year by Colgate: the ly'zi-ne:n dropped the Lions from: 0 - 9 unbeaten ranks with a 4-3: edging.

It was Cornell who handed the Lions their sev enth straight loss last season, win ning on a strong second half, 16-9. Vpteran Clun Returns Cornell will not bring any All- American to towr but will be able to field almost the same team that ruined the • Lions last year... The Big Red's entire attack and mid field starting units contributed to the 16 - -41 • Have Br'aufield and Herb Boo], both Midfielder's, com bined to score five times while Charles Fiske, playing as a re serve, scored twice. Fiske is the third midV , lde.r for thc visitors. The Lions, noW-,,er are not go ing to let familiar faces beat them.
