WEDNESDAY. FEBRUARY 24, 1960 Oh, That Big '0; He's Murder, Says Bemiller "Going nine minutes on the mat with Johnston Oberly is worse than going 60 minutes against any center in football." Thus spoke Jack Bemiller, SyrAcuse heavyweight grap pler and football center, after picking himself off the Rec Hall mats Saturday night. Bemiller was the keystone of the now almost legendary Sizable Seven, which received much of the credit for bringing the national grid championship trophy to Piety Hill this fall. But after sharing the confinesi of the white wrestling circle with; Penn State's undefeated heat y- weight for just eight tninutes and' 46 seconds, the exhauited Orange-I mail said he much 'eferred his ; li assignment on the g idiron. Berniller, however, managed to stay in the ring with the Lions' Big "0" longer than the four of Oberl opponents. The well-bu; Orange junf survived a si and period ne fall and within 14 sl onds of acco plashing his ex pressed purpose which was to "keep from being pinned." None of Oberly's last three adversaries had eluded his vice like grasp for more than two periods. Only two men have gone the distance against him— Jim Hancock of Colgate and Fred Olm of Michigan. Oberly decisioned Hancock, 7-1, but was held to a 1-1 stalemate by Olm. The 208-pound Bemiller claimed that the reason for Oberly's suc cess was his weight. "You just can't do much when you're carry ing 250 pounds around on your• back. `•I don't know enough about wrestling, but if Art (Art Baker, Syracuse's 191-p ou n d NCAA champ) had been here tonight it would have been a different story."

The Orange mat and grid star was injured in the Cotton Bowl game and had an operation on both knees this winter. Syracuse's John Wynne was fortunate to gain a draw in the 191-pound match Saturday. Eager ness and inexperience on the part of Lion soph Phil Myer led to the deadlock. Wynne, though losing 3-1 con tinued to wrestle defensively in the final period. Myer, irritated by Wynne's backpeddhng and eager to make a good showing, shot for a take down. The maneuver backfired and Wynne gained the advantage and a draw.

Nittany 2 Mile Relay Team Is Well Fortified When Penn State's 2-mile re lay team runs in Madison Square Garden Saturday night in the Knights of Columbus Meet, the four Lion entries will be capable of running the half-mile in under two minutes. This is by no means an astonish ing fact. But it should be added that there will be six more Lion run ners back in State College who also can go the distance in under two minutes. Lion track mentor Chick Wer-; ner conservatively terms this situ- I ation as "rare," Dick Hambright, Don Davies, Dick Engelbrink, Steve Moorhead, Mike Miller, Fred Larsen, Dave LaHoff, Pat Cunningham, George Jones and freshman Howie Dear dorff are all capable of sub 2- minute half-miles, From their showing so far this year, Hambright, Davies, Moor head, and Miller have the best chance of making the trip to New York Saturday, but there will be plenty of competition this after noon when Werner holds time trials to determine the boys who will run. Sprinter Bobby Brown will also compete in the New York extrava ganza in the dashes. Metzler Breaks IM Record With 35.3 in Breast Stroke By DEAN BILLICK An intramural swimming record ; was shattered last night when Bob Metzler blazed his way to a record breaking 35 3 in the 60- 'yard breast stroke. Metzler's time erased the former mark set by. Addle Stevens in 1957 when he swam the distance in 37.5 for Delta Upsilon. Metzler, who swims for an inde pendent team called the "Mice," !used the butterfly stroke with a ,double dolphin kick. In the 60- . yard breast stroke race the but terfly or the breast stroke is per missible. Team scores were out of the , ordinary also. Phi Gamma Del ta splashed to a resounding 33- ! 8 triumph over Beta Sigma Rho and the "Mice" swam to a con : vincing 37-7 win over NROTC. An interesting sidelight was the fact that the "Mice" posted the best times in every event. They swept all first places in their meet with NROTC and had lower times in all the events than the Phi Gam or Beta Sig swimmers. Phi Gamma Delta displayed a balanced team as a different man won each event. Beta Sigma Rho was able to cop a second place in the 60-yard free-style but fin ished third in all other events.
