Jesse Arnelle returned to his old scoring haunts last night
and Penn State found the lost key to winning on the road.
The Big Lion center fired in 33 points to boost his career
total to 2030 and led the Lions to an 83-04 victory over sur
prisingly strong Rutgers at New Brunswick, N.J., 16th of the
season for the Nittanies.
After two rude bumps at the hands of Colgate and Syra
cuse last weekend, the NCAA-bound Lions struck back with
a strong offensive attack, and led
by Arnelle and forward Jim
Blocker, pulled away from the
Scarlet late in the first half after
a nip-and-tuck beginning.
Blocker, developing into a
steady scorer after a slow early
start, tossed in seven field goals
for 14 points. Earl Fields added
11, and guard Ron Weidenham

Lions Take Four First
In Registering 54-42
Forced to go all out against a fired-up Pitt gymnastic
team in Pittsburgh’s spacious Field House last night, Gene
Wettstone’s Lion gymnasts scored their third straight victory
and fourth of the season, 54-42.
The Panthers, seeing their first season in the EIGA and
fielding a varsity gym team for only the second year, suf
fered their third straight defeat. They were previous victims
of West Virginia and Navy, and scored their only win in their
opener against Notre Dame.
In giving the NCAA champion
Lions just about their closest Bat
tle of the season, Coach Warren
Niger’s gymnasts outscored the
Lions in two events—horizontal
bar and flying rings—but couldn’t
n atch the Nittany strength in the
four remaining events.
Lion Captain Karl Sehwene
feier was at his usual top form,
walking away with a first on the
parallel bars, a second on the fly
ing rings, and a third on the side
horse. However, it was the first
time this year the versatile gym
nast failed to take top honors on
the rings.

Lehigh has dropped live of
seven bouts at 123 pounds and
two in the 130-. 187-, and 177-

Steve Wisoker and Tom
Deppe have each tried the 123-
pound chores for Lehigh, but
only Deppe has managed to
win at the lightweight position.
Deppe has copped Lehigh’s lone
two wins at this weight this
year while losing once.
Parker .Mangus, 130-pounder,
has suffered only one defeat in
six outings for the Engineers.
His lone loss was to Pitt’s Ed
Perry, 8-1.
At 187 pounds Roger Taylor
has hit a 5-1 record, losing
