THURSDAY. MAY 17. 1956 Netmen Win 3rd Straight, Rout Juniata Squad, 7-2 By TOM WERNER Shorts, T-shirts, and goose pimples were the regulation garb when the Lion netmen de feated a weak Juniata squad, 7-2, on the Beaver Field courts yesterday afternoon_ Playing in 45 degree weather, punctuated by momentary gusts of wind, the netters had little trouble downing their opponents. The match was decided early when the Nit tanies swept all six of the singles jousts, leaving Juniata to gather two consolation points, in the doubles sets. Number one Lion Ed Selling evened his personal series with Juniata's Phil Lankford at one all, avenging last year's defeat, 6-2, 6-0. In the first set Selling lost his serve twice, once in each of his losing games. Playing mostly backcourt, he came to the net on Lankford's weak shots and slam med them out of his opponent's reach. The Lion played a good `head' game, taking advantage of the wind and the Juniata man's weaknesses. Fred Trust, in the number two position, downed Juniata's Dan Raffensperger, 3-6, 6-2, 6-1. After letting the wind ruin his drives in the first set, Trust adjusted to conditions, playing backcourt with the wind in his face and driving shots into it. After the first set Trust had little trouble in chalking up the victory. Captain Chuck Christiansen de feated • Bob Kaufman 6-3, 6-1, without losing a serve in either set. • The winningest member of the team, Dean Mullen, scored his fifth straight victory of the year when he humbled Don Randall. 6-2, 6-1. Mullen, using more strat egy and 'head' play when the weather forced discpntinuance of his usual rushing net game, often caught his opponent flat footed at the net or in the center of the court, looking at a passing drive. Randall accompanied himself on the raquet with appropriate shouts and comments as the steady N.i t t any hustled him through two fast sets. Juniata's Don Ruhl fell 'victim to Doug Zuker, 6-0, 6-2. Zuker played the net and missed few shots in racking up his second win of the season.

Both the Buckeyes and the Panthers possess fairly potent squads, caoable of turning the meet into the closest competition the Lions have entered alt season. Ohio State has six returning lettermen to compose the nucleus of this year's team while the Panther's are led by Arnie Sowell— considered by many track experts to be the greatest middle dis tance runner in the world—and sprinter Herb Carper. Two-miler Lloyd Bartel, weightman Bob Webb, pole vaulter and broad jumper Fletcher Gilders, high jumper Jack Keller, broad jumper Norm Jackson, and middle distance runner Ed McArdle are the top Ohio State contenders with sophomores Jack McClain and Glenn Davis also rated highly. Bartel and McClain are expected to furnish the Buckeye punch in the two-mile and mile runs while McArdle is the best Ohio State offers in the 440. McClain is also the top Buckeye entry in the 880. Webb will be Ohio State's biggest threat to the Lions' Charlie Blocicson in the shot put and discus throw—the discus being his best event. Bill Rush, sophomore weightman, is also expected to give Webb a hand in the discus and shot. Gilder's best event is the pole vault although he is capable of giving a commendable account of himself in the broad jump. However, Davis and Jackson are expected to do the bulk of the Buckeye broad jumping. Davis is also the top Buckeye hurdler. Words can not describe Sowell's value to the Panther squad. Against Notre Dame last weekend. Sowell turned his efforts to mile run for the first time in his career and beat the Irish's Bill Squire—rated as one of the better collegiate milers—in 4:15.6. He is expected to concentrate on the middle distances—the 440 and the 880—this week, however, since Wendall Harford and Jim Moore give the Panther's a creditable mile entry. Carper also turned in one of his better performances against the Irish, winning the 100-yard dash in :09.8. He can also be counted on to enter the 220-against Lion captain Art Pollard. Dave Peays is the number two sprinter for the Panthers while Paul Thrash will do most of the Pittsburgh hurdling. Peay's best event is the 220—Thrash's the 220-yard low hurdles. The weakest spot on the Panther contingent is the weight events where it lacks anyone capable of matching throws with Blockson and Webb. However, with Sowell probably running an chor, its mile relay entry could prove to be tops in the meet.
