Unbeaten Matmen
To Face Maryland
By JOHNNY BLACK
The power-laden Nittany
Lion wrestlers, whose team
record has now climbed to
5-0, return to the mat wars
tomorrow evening at College
Park, Maryland, when they
meet the University of Mary
land Terrapins.
Five of the Lion grapplers are
still undefeated. Tony Scordo, 123,
Guy Guccione, 137, Jerry Seckler,
157, Hank Barone, 177, and Johns
ton Oberly, heavyweight, have
not yet tasted defeat in the Nit
tanies' five conquests.
State's latest victim was Cor
nell. The highly-touted Red
Raiders fell before the Nittany
matmen by a 20-8 score at Rec
Hall, Jan. 23.
Coach Charlie Speidel's grap
plers, who have been acclaimed
as the class of the East, have
found little trouble in handling
their opponents to date. In fact
they have become alinogt a single
standard against which other
eastern teams claim their rating,
according to the number of points
they score against the Lions.
In the upper echelon of the Nit-!
tanies' five foes are Michigan, the'
only intersectional opponent Penn
State meets this year, and Le
high. These teams scored 12 and
11 points, respectively, while
holding the Lions to 19.
One rung down the ladder,
Cornell allowed the Nittanies
20 points but could manage to
garner only eight for itself.
Both Army and Colgate were
denied any mark on the score
board as Penn State walked away
with 31-0 and 33-0 decisions.
.The Lions should rate as heavy
favorites to extend their realm of
conquest south of the Mason-
Dixon line in tomorrow's bout
with Maryland.

Riflemen Await Their
Ist Eastern Tourney
Penn State's newest varsity
team still has a month to wait
before reaching the highpoint
of its season.
March 5 and 6 are the dates
that Coach Joe Watson's riflemen
travel to Kings Point, N.Y., to
compete in the Eastern Rifle
Tournament sponsored by the Na
tional Rifle Association. They
will compete against almost 80
other colleges and universities.
The team is currently sport-
log a 2-4 record but could go
info the tourney with a 4.4
c mark if they get past Colgate
Feb. 20 and Villanova Feb. 27.
Both matches will be at home.
Thus far, Watson's sharpshoot
ers have outfired St. Lawrence
and Duquesne while losing to
Maryland, Cornell, and West
Virginia twice in their six outings.
- Senior John Hood captains the
Squad and, according to Watson,
stands the best chance of any
Lion to cop individual laurels at
Kings Point.

Meets?—Reid This
Gymnastics can be a very confusing sport for the aver
age onlooker. So, Mr. John Q. Fan here are some points which
will help you appreciate tomorrow night's meet with Navy
in Rec Hall.
Every Eastern Intercollegiate Gymnastics League
meet is composed of six events—
tumbling, side horse, horizontal',
bar, rope climb, parallel bars and
flying' rings.-
Each team may enter up to
three men in a particular event.
with the fop five men in each
event earning points. Six points
go for a first place finish, four
for second, three fur third, two
for fourth, and one for fifth,
There are three judges who
score each event. The scoring sys-;
tem is based on 100 points for al
perfect score with deductions for
such things as breaks, failure to!
complete a maneuver and lack of difficulty. I
No one event is similar to an
other so each has individual char-I
lacteristics that the fan should look'
for.
TUMBLING Each perform
er has three turns to present a
variety of maneuvers. The main
things to look for are the speed
with which the fumbler per
forms his maneuvers and the
height he attains on each part
of the routine.
SIDE HORSE This event has;
been called the most difficult to!
perform. The gymnast must keep:
up a constant rhythm throughout
the entire routine for any stop'
will cost him up to 15 valuable,
points. Other things to note are,
the performers' form and tempo
for the length of the work.
HORIZONTAL BAR This
event has many high points, but
the most important is the gym-
nast's dismount. The difficulty
of the dismount often means
victory or defeat for the per-
