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.

!&iiolfeir End. 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.

Stickmen
Host Cornell
in Finale
The Penn State lacrosse season
ends today when coach Nick
Thiel's Nittany stickmen meet the
Big Red of Cornell at Beaver
Field. A-ame time is at 2:30 p.m.
The Lions will be seeking their
third win of the season and their
second in a row. They have lost
six.
Once more the Lions will try
t.:.t gain revenge for a reverse suf
fered- last year. 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

bined to score five times while
Charles Fiske, playing as a re

The Lions, noW-,,er are not go
ing to let familiar faces beat
them. They upset a highly-ranked
Swarthmore team last. week and
nothing would make them hap
pier' than to pull a repeat per
formanoe against Cornell.
Early Season Wins
The Big Red started off it's sea
