OWW, MY CHIN—Lion John Musser (partially hidden) appears
to take a solid elbow from Mountie Bob Clouser (32) as Willy
Akers (34) and Tom Hancock (20) fight for the ball. Hancock
foaled out near the end of regulation time.
Frosh Cagers Whip
Altoona Center, 84-52
After a “lethargic first half,” the Blue and White frosh
basketball aggregation pulled out of the doldrums and opened
up with a fast-paced, ball-hawking brand of play and soundly
whipped the previously undefeated Altoona Center five,
84-52.
A total of 15 men saw acti

combination throughout the first
and half of the second stanza.
The Stale yearlings slowly
picked their way through the
first 20 minutes feeling out
their patterns and searching for
team coordination under their
first game situation. They clung
to a precarious 32-31 lead at
halftime.

This proved to be a sturdy de

Owl Gymnasts Out to Break
Lion Dominance Tomorrow
A 7-meet winning streak
goes on the line at 2 p.m.
tomorrow as the Lion gym
nasts open their 1959 sea
son against the Temple
Owls in Recreation Hall.
Although the Owls haven’t
been able to defeat the Lions
in the past seven years, they
own the second best won-lost
record against Lion gym
squads.
The Philadelphians have won
8 meets while dropping .12.
Only Army with a 16-9 slate
has a better record against
Coach Gene Wettstone’s teams.
The Owls, who lost a 63-33
meet to the Lions last year,
also lost their top performer
Lehigh Mat Coach Owns
Losing Mark With Lions
There are only two schools
which hold a series edge over
Lehigh’s wrestling team during
the regime of Coach Gerry Lee
man—Penn State and Pitt.
That’s one of the reasons the
Lion matmen will have to be ex
tra strong when they host the
Engineers at Rec Hall tomorrow
night.
Leeman, now in his seventh
campaign at the Bethlehem insti
tution, has recorded a 52-12-2
mark over Lehigh foes. But only
three of those victories land one
tie) have been over Penn State
and Pitt.
Coach Charlie Speidel has a 4-2
edge over Leeman’s crew and
Rex Perry of Pitt owns a 3-1-1
record.
However, both of Leeman’s wins
over State have come in the last
two years, 15-13 at Rec Hall in

in Joe Ray. Ray was one of
the best athletes in the East
on the flying rings last year
and also was a good all-around
performer. He finished fifth in
the Eastern all-around.
With the loss of Ray, Coach
Carl Patterson has built his
1959 edition around Stan Cha
tis and Marty Nayowith. Cha
tis performs on the side horse,
parallel bars and rings.
Nayowith specializes on the
side horse in which he is one
of the top threats in the East.
He will also work the high bar
and parallel bars.
The feeling among the Lions
who have seen Temple work
out is that the Owls are strong
est on the side horse and the
flying rings.
The same Lion duo rates the
1957 and 22-7 at Bethlehem in !
1958. That little fact should give i
the Nittany grapplers even more !
reason to whip Lehigh tomorrow. j
"Lehigh is Penn State’s third j
oldest mat rival of the current i
Lion foe's. The series started in !
1911—Colgate (1909) and Navy 1
(1910) are 'the older foes—and j
since then the Lions have won
28, lost 12 and tied two.
