Pitt Matmen Should Give
Nittanies Toughest Test
The Nittany Lion rnatmen should meet their toughest
competition of the year when they tangle with the Pitt
Panthers on the Rec Hall mats Saturday night.
The Panthers will roar into University Park with a 7-1
record, having lost only to Michigan.
Pitt has met the same opponents
as Penn State with but two excep
tions. The Panthers wrestled
Michigan State and NYU while
the Lions met Colgate and Cor
nell.
Pitt holds victories over Mary
land, 24-7, Syracuse, 25-5, Navy,
21-6, Army, 19-11, NM 36.0,
Michigan State. 15-y, and Le
high, 19-11. Their 1 -11 loss to
Michigan came abo t a month
after the Big 10 cl b dropped
its season opener to enn State,
19-12.
The Panthers' str ng showing
this year may appear surprising
on the surface, in light of the
fact that they lost five top stars,
including two former national
champions from last year's club.
But it is not surprising to those
sagacious old fans that know
Coach Rex Peery, a three-time
national champ himself and de
veloper of seven others.
Undisturbed by the loss of
Paul Powell, Tom Alberts, Bob
Bubb, Sherm Moyer and Alex
Skirpan, Peery took a couple
returnees, five sophomores. and
turned out a team that rates in
the top ten nationally and sec
ond in the East.
Peery. a former Oklahoma
State star, accepted a gargantuan
challenge at Pitt in 1950, taking
over a team that had lost 28
straight meets. But in just three'
years he elevated them to the top
of the collegiate wrestling ranks.
Peery's 10 year coaching record
of 81-26-1 includes one perfect
season ,and five one-loss cam
paigns. Under his tutelage Pan
ther mat squads have twice fin
ished second and twice finished
third in the NCAA's.
His teams monopolized the
Eastern championship for the
first three years they were in
the EIWA.

Vega Strives
To Become
Nation's Best
Former Penn State gym- 1
nastic great Armando Vega,l
still a student here, is present
ly training for two of the most
important meets of his illus
trious career.
For in the Pasadena National
Invitational Tournament April 9,
and the Olympic tryouts at West!
Point a few weeks later, Vega
will strive to establish himself ]
as the United State's finest all-I
around gymnast.
A member of the 1958 Olym
pic team and three-time NCAA
and BIOL . all-around cham
pion, Vega will be up against
' his old nemisis, two-time Olym
pian Jack Beckner.
The 31-year-old Beckner has
been regarded America's best for
several years. In the 1956 Olym
pics he edged Vega for first place
among U.S. competitors, and has
beaten him many other times.
But just last summer, Vega de
feated the former Southern Cali
fornia great in a number of meets
in Los Angeles.
Although he has not com
peted since last summer, last
year's Lion captain said he is
"coming along perfectly."
"I should improve over last
year because I have better rou
tines," he said. "But I hope the
long layoff from competition
won't hurt me."

ATO, PhiK Theta
Post 2nd IM Wins
Alpha Tau Omega and Phi Kappa Theta advanced to the
third round of the intramural swimming tournament last
night, but both did it in different ways. ATO swept past
Alpha Sigma Phi, which drew a first round bye, but Phi Kap
pa Theta triumphed by only a one-point margin.
Alpha Tau Omega posted its
second decisive win in a row, top
ping Alpha Sigma Phi, 34-7. Carl
Tongberg bettered his 60-yard
breaststroke performance as he
turned in a time of 38 seconds to
easily pick up his second win in
a row.
Dick McCoy was another top
winner for ATO, which swept first
places in every event, topping all
backstrokers of the night with a
time of 45 6 seconds. Walt Pinder
again won the diving event with
24.4 points.
Phi Kappa Theta won a squeak
er over Lambda Chi Alpha, 21-20,
to cop its second victory of the
season, although the meet was not
as close as the score indicates.
With only the 120-yard relay
remaining, Phi Kappa Theta held
a 21-15 lead and had already
cinched the meet even if it lost
the relay. Lambda Chi Alpha took
the race easily but fell one point
short of a tie in the meet.
James Weber and Walt Benecki
picked up their second straight
wins for Phi Kappa, coming in
first in the 60-yard free-style and
60-yard backstroke, respectively.
Weber was the top winner of the
meet as he also captured a first

Tony Thomas won the diving
for his second straight victory to
complete the list of firsts for Phi
Kappa
Blair House picked up it first
win in independent competition,
downing Allegheny House, 22-16.
Allegheny entered no men in the
(diving or relay events thus hand
ing Blair two wins by default.
However, Allegheny's John
!Zion posted two impressive vic
tories. Zinn led all entrants of the
night in the 60-yard fre-style as he
!swam away from the field with
a time of 35 8 seconds. He then
came back to win the breaststroke
with a creditable time of 42 8.
Mike Winters won the back
;stroke in 52 4 seconds, but that
;was the end of Allegheny's vic

This is the B-52. Advanced as it
may be, this airplane has one thing
in common with the first war

the future. Someone must chat t its

For certain young men this pre
