Orange Cast Uncertain
For Saturday Mat Test
When it comes to trying to name the most likely lineup that Penn State's matmen
will encounter when they travel to Syracuse Saturday, only two things are safe to say:
Syracuse will show up for the match and coach Joe Daniel will name an eight-man team 'to
handle the Orange wrestling chores.
But whom Daniel. will choose for what particular weight to face the Lions is like
picking not only all the winning horses in a day's racing, but also naming which horses
will run in what race before the scratch sheet is released.
Daniel, whose Orange squad has a 2-1 record, has juggled 12 men into different weight
classes for his squad's last three matches; but at the same time, Daniel has used four of his
men in no less than ten different
combinations,
In grabbing_ wins from Temple,
22-8, and finally Army, 18-14,
tar losing his opener to Cor
land, 18-18, Daniel has stuck with
only two men as starters in three
matches.
Fink Only Unbeaten
Don Clark, 123-pounder with a
2-1 record, and heavyweight
George Fink, only man on the
squad with a 3-0 record, have seen
action in Syracuse's three mat
ches.
In the remaining six weights
the list of Syystcuse matmen is
nothing but a puzzle of names
that changed with each of the
meets.
Daniel has indicated with re
peated changes that he has been
experimenting to seek the best
combinations in his 147-, 157-,
167-, and 177. pound classes.
Rooney Tried Two Weights
Ron Marinello and Ed Rooney
hold the honors for moving
around in weights. Both men have
wrestled in three different
weights in as many matches. Mar
inello has worked the 147-, 187-,
and 167-pound weights, for a 1-2
record; his teammate, Rooney,
was first moved from 157 pounds
to 177 pounds for the Temple
match and then to the 187 class
against Army. Rooney, however,
in facing Cortland,. Army, and
Temple, has won each of his mat
ches.
Bob Smith and Tom King also
have been shifting between two
weights. King wrestled his first
two matches against Cortland and
Temple. He won both but then
lost when he replaced Bill Torres
at 137 pounds against Army.
Torres had lost his first two mat
ches against the Owls and the
New York school.
Smith first wrestled at 177
pounds and won against Cortland.
Then he shifted to 167 pounds
against Temple and won again.
For the Army match he was shift-

Nine Independent Teams
Advance in IM Contests
Independent teams started intramural basketball bouncing again
Tuesday night after their vacation delay. Nine games were played.
In the night's leading game, the Mibs upset .the previously un
beaten Skyrockets, 18-16, to cast the League H lead into a three
team deadlock. The Skyrockets, along with Town Council and the
Deltasigs, now own a 4-1 win-loss record since the latter two teams
both won their games.
The Deltasigs and Town Coun
cil had easy times with their op
ponents. Led by Larry Gershman,
who had one of his lowest scoring
nights with nine points, the Delta
sigs torunced the Atherton Men,
29-15. Town Council had even
less trouble whipping the McEl
wain Men, 26-8.
Two unbeaten teams continued
their winning streaks to keep the
League G lead at a stalemate. In
the first game Hamilton Six de
feated the Giraffes, 29-25, The
losers' one-two scoring punch of
Herb Bouquin and Bob Beamer
with 11 and 10 points was more
than offset by Hamilton Six's
teamwork and James Capone's 11
points.
In the other League G battle,
the Snorks kept pace by eeking
out a 24-21 victory over the Irvin
Aces.
