Natators, Alpha Sig,
TKE, Swim Victors
Last night's Intramural swimming matches at the Glennland
Pool proved to be a runaway for the winning teams. Tau Kappa
Epsilon and Alpha Sigma Phi split 68 points between them in their
victories while
,the Natators went into the independent semi-finals
with its 27-14 conquest, of Watts Hall.
TKE beat Alpha Gamma Rho, 34-7 and Alpha Sig stopped
Kappa Sigma, 34-5, in the fra.
ternity; matches.
- The Natators set an unofficial
rm. record in the 120-yard relay
in its victory over the Watts Hall
Swimmers. The new record-57.6
—clipped two and three-tenths
seconds off the old relay mark.
Record Not Official
But the Natators efforts were
in vain. The record can not be
counted as official since Watts
did not enter a team in the relay
event.
Mike Stollmeyer, John Funk
hauser, Bob Schiffener, and Jim
Helper were the unlucky swim
mers who will not see their rec
ord go down into the books.
AGR could put together only
one second and two first places
in* its loss to TKE. Meanwhile,
TKE was racking up point after
point, in copping its second win.
Rossi Top Poinimaker
Al Rossi was the big point
maker for the TKE, swimmers.'He
actually beat the men from AGR
single-handed by , winning first
places in the 60-yard back stroke,
160-yard breast stroke, and the
I diving contest.
But all of TKE's entrants did
its share. Carl Snyder placed first
in the 60-yard free style, second
in diving, and was a member of
the 120-yard .relay team; Pa u 1
Johnson was second in the back
stroke, and was on the relay
squad; Hal Byers, second in the
breast stroke; and Walt Cron and
Henry Keltz on the relay team.
Rohrbach Stars
Mike Rohrbach led Alpha Sig
to its decisive win over Kappa
Sig. He walked off with top hon
ors in the free style and diving,
and was on the winning relay
team.
His teammates backed him up
with first places in every event.
Cliff Gleason won the back
stroke; Tim Bynes, the breast
stroke; and AI Balkey, Mike Bun
ney, and Gleason teamed with
Rhorbach for the 120-yard relay.

ILL NOT BE A CREDIT
THE. - -E,WHEN
Out On a Limb
Sports Editor Roy Williams and Assistant Sports Editor Ron
Gatehouse are out today to break their two-way deadlock for first
place in the Daily Collegian's weekly grid poll.
Gatehouse has been on the up-climb the past two weeks,
jumping from last place into the tie for first.
Williams, on the other hand, has hit a slump which he can't
seem to shake. In the past two weeks, he saw his four game lead
dwindle to a bare tie for the top spot in the standings.
Fran Fanucci and the Nittany Lion coaches—represented this
week by head coach "Rip" Engle—are right on the tails of the two
leaders, just one game off the pace.
Fanucci, who has been shuffling back and forth between the
second, third, and fourth positions throughout the poll, tied the
coaches for second with a 7-8 slate last week.
The coaches are putting their fate in the hands of their boss
in an effort to regain the lead which they held for the first two
weeks of the picks.
Both Williams and Gatehouse are playing it on the safe side
today, differing in only one pick—the Florida-Tennessee battle
Fanucci "went out on the limb" in today's poll
to place himself on top of the pack.

Tilt to Feature
Big Line Play
PITTSBURGH, Nov. 11 (EP)—
Two of the biggest and best lines
in college football appeared today
to hold the key to success as un
beaten West Virginia and a good
Pitt team went through fin al
preparations for their game today
before a sellout crowd of some
60,000.
Aiming for victory, West Vir
ginia sought both a Sugar Bowl
bid and revenge for the 13-10 up
set last year that is the only
Mountaineer loss since the middle
of the 1953 season. Coach Art
Lewis' charges still have to face
Syracuse and North Carolina
State, but the bowl scouts will be
on hand for the Pitt, game.
Pitt's 5-3 season log is far less
impressive than the Mountain
eers' 7-0, and the Panthers own
nothing remotely like West Vir
ginia's offensive averages of 436
yards and 34 points per game. But
Pitt has faced what most fans
rate as tougher competition, and
has a 35-11-1 edge in the long ser
ies with West Virginia beginning
in 1895.
And Pitt owns a forward wall
that is bigger and more seasoned
than any yet faced by the Moun
taineers, which leaves a possibly
decisive edge in the game riding
on the line play.
