ally, with his passing and ball
carrying accounting for 11 TDs.
Soccer Ken Hosterman faced a
strong challenge when he took
oyer the task of tutoring the
Lion booters a challenge of
equaling or bettering, the fine rec
ords set by Bill Jeffrey’s out
standing squads. In his first year
in _ the Driver’s seat, Hosterman
guided the booters to a respect
.able 5-2 record. Their first set
back came at the hands of Army,
who spoiled a nine game Lion
winning skein. The Nittanies were
the seventh straight victims of
Temple for their second loss. A
win over the Owls would have
probably given the Nittanies an
NCAA invitation.
Cross Country—Led by the big
three . of Red Hollen, Lamont
Smith, and Doug Moorhead, Chick
Werner’s harriers won all four of
their regularly scheduled meets.
In the IC4A the
Lions came in third, before tak
ing fourth place in the NCAA’s.
Basketball Penn State, hardly
regarded as a cage power, shot
up like a bad weed in post-season
action, to surprise and astound

the nation in the NCAA tourney.
Guided by Gross, and led by 6-5
Arnelle, the Nittanies recorded
a notable 14-5 regular season
slate. Then came their ‘at-large’
bid to enter the tournament. Ex
pected to see no more than sec
ond round action, the Lions
‘fooled all’ by reaching the semi
finals, after defeating Toledo,
Louisiana State, and highly
ranked Notre Dame. Following a
loss to powerful LaSalle they de
feated Southern California for
third place laurels. The cagers
closed the campaign sporting an
18-6 record.
Wrestling—Charlie Speidel led his
grapplers to a 6-2 mark, although
the colorful mentor saw his 33
match winning skein, extending
from 1950, go down the drain at
the hands of Navy. The other set
back came on the ensuing meet
with Pitt. The Lions placed third
in the easterns, in addition to
their national third place.
Gymnastics—Gene Wettstone
proved his statement that last
year’s gymnastic team was his
best ever, by literally rewriting
the -national record books in that
sport. His performers took all six
of their regularly scheduled meets,

to extend State’s winning, streak
to 15 and complete their second
consecutive undefeated campaign.
The gymnasts defended their na
tional title by registering the
highest point total in the history
of the national gym tourney, 137.
They also dominated the eastern
meet by taking six of the 11 indi
vidual events.
The gymnasts added some pre
season color' When they battled
to a 49%-46% loss to Sweden in
the United States’ first interna
tional dual gym meet.
Boxing—Although Eddie Sulkow
ski had a large squad oh hand,
he lacked depth and experience,
and could display only a 1-5-1
record at the end of the mitt sea
son. Despite his losing season,
Sulk rebounded his team into
third honors in both the eastern
and national tourneys, the latter
of which was held in Rec Hall.

Adam Kois, senior Lion captain
and 178-lb. contender,' added addi
tional fame to Penn State by tak
ing national first place honors in
his division.
Baseball—Joe Bedenk kept up his
winning ways by coaching an
other Lion nine to a winning sea
son. The diamondmen recorded a
10-6 log, gaining four of their
victories in shutout fashion. Al
though Captain Keith Vesling,
Garland Gingerich, and Dave Lu
cas performed their mound duties
well, the Nittanies fell into two
slumps to deny them of a pos
sible District Two NCAA bid.
Track—Werner once again led a
squad to an undefeated campaign.
This time it was his track stal
warts who earned a 4-0 record to
tie that which he set in the Fall
with his hill and dalers. Art .Pol
lard, Rosie Grier, Charlie Block
son, Red Hollen, and Ollie Sax
led the cindermen as they rolled
over Navy, Pitt, Michigan State,
and Manhattan.

Sherm Fogg’s tennis aggregation
rolled to a fine 8-2-1 record. The
netmen shut out Duquesne, Car
negie Tech, Pitt, and Lehigh by
similar 9-0 scores.
Golf Equipped with seven ex
perienced lettermen, Bob Ruther
ford led his golfers to a good 7-1
campaign. The only defeat was
suffered at the hands of Colgate
by one point in a 4-3 verdict, and
also snapped a 12 game Lion win
ning streak covering a two year
span. The Red Raiders were the
only golfers in two years to score
more than three points against
the Lions.
Lacrosse—The stickmen -of Nick
Thiel were the only other Lions
to finish in the red last year. In
his 20th season at the helm, he
could muster only a 2-7 record.
The wins came over Kenyon in
the season’s opener, and in an
upset over Swarthmore. Lack of
experience was the big factor in
Thiel’s losing record, but last
year’s juniors and sophomores
should account for a more re
spectable record next Spring.
