fORSDAY, FEBRUARY 12 The Sportseor fM Sti It’s too bad Penn State’s wrestling team didn’t beat Cornell last Saturday. That would have made the weekend complete what with the gymnasts’ thrilling win over Army and the cagers' decisive victory over Syracuse. But there’s no use crying over spilled milk, as the saying goes. For the Lion matmen have another stiff test ahead of them Saturday night when perennial Atlantic Coast Conference champion Mary land invades Recreation Hall. > Another typical wrestling-hungry Penn Slate crowd should turn out for the match. And they'll be there for two reasons. Primarily—they like wrestling. But secondary—and just as im portant—they want to see for themselves just how much the mat men have improved since that disastrous (here we go again, Charlie) Lehigh battle in early January. Most of the Lion fans haven't seen Coach Charlie Speidel’s men in action since then. But they have been following the team through the papers. And now, they want to see if everything that certain sports writer has said about the matmen’s fast improvement is true. They should not be disappointed. The degree of performance by the Lions has been rising rapidly since the Lehigh thumpingj And last week, they nearly reached their peak with that close 15-13 loss to EIWA leader Cornell. Hank Barone, Dan Johnston and Sam Minor have been the most successful men in the Lions' "comeback.” Barone, who has always been high on Speidel's list, has been very impressive in his last two bouts by battling to draws with a couple of highly regarded eastern performers in Doug Volgenau and Steve Fried man. He has definitely established himself as an EIWA champion contender. So have Johnston and Minor. Johnston, the only unbeaten Lion, has been the most impressive wrestler since the season opened. And now Minor, with only a one-point loss to EIWA 147-pound champ Dick Santoro marring his record, has joined Johnston. Neil Turner, who has been the biggest and most pleasing surprise this season, is not far behind. He’s going to bring heartbreak to many a Penn State foe .before he’s through. Now, it seems like Guy Guccione is finally coming out of his shell. Guccione was supposed to be one of the Lions’ key men this year if not the top one. But he has not lived ud to expecta tions. However, the diminutive junior has been flashing his old form in practice sessions this week and may explode against Maryland. What about the controversial Johnston Oberly, you ask? Same problem—overweight. He was a terror in the first two minutes of his match with Eastern heavyweight champ Dave Dunlop last Sat urday, and, in fact, was leading 2-1 at the end of the first period. But he pooped out and Dunlop went on'to record an easy 8-2 victory. TKE Cagers Storm To Beat Delta Chi, Tau Kappa Epsilon took a giant stride from behind in overcoming a 6-13 deficit at the half to wrap up a 22-19 victory over Delta Chi in Fraternity basketball League D Tuesday night.
