Cold Sidelines DuMars;
May Miss Weekend Trip
Mark DuMars can't seem to catch a break this year.
Penn State's leading scorer wound up in the University
Hospital yesterday with a high fever and his status for this
weekend's road trip to Colgate and Syracuse is "indefinite."
DuMars, who scored 21 points in Tuesday's 80-78 loss to
West Virginia, appeared to be
fully recovered from an ankle in
jury suffered against Bucknell,
Feb, 7
"We'll check tomorrow and find
out how he is," Lion coach John
Egli said last night. "If he has a
fever, I don't see how we can take
him." The Lions plan to leave for
Colgate tonight.
DuMars, who has scored 1071
points during his three-year
career, has scored 266 this year
in 17 games for a 15.5 average.
The bad news about DuMars,
coupled with Tuesday's heart
breaking defeat in Morgantown,
hit the Lions hard.
"We played without him most
of the time against Pitt and did
OK," Egli said, "so we're ,not that
bad off, Even so, I sure hope he
can play."
PuMars had a great night
against West Virginia, hitting on
9 of 19 shots and converting three
fouls.

High Jumper
Shows Fast
'improvement
Judging by his perform
ance at Navy Saturday, Jerry
Wettstone is fast folloNVing in
the footsteps of teammate
Dick Campbell.
Last year Campbell set a new
Penn State record in the high
jump by clearing 6-8 against
Navy during the outdoor season.
Before the 1960 campaign
Campbell had been only a medi
ocre jumper, but a few pointers
he picked up from track star
Charlie Dumas plus plenty of
hard work boosted him into the
6-6 class.
Now Wettstone, the son of gym
nastics coach Gene Wettstone, is
picking up those same pointers
from Campbell and Coach Chick
Werner. As a result the Lion
junior is fast developing into a
good jumper.
His 6-4 1 / 2 against Navy gave
him a tie for first with Campbell
and established the Lion duo as
one of the top high-jump com
binations in the East.
The secret to Wettstone's rap
id development is the straight
leg kick. Dumas, a former Olym
pian, perfected this move and
now it is used by all the top
jumpers.
"I used to use the old move of
bending my leg as I went over
the bar," Wettstone said. "But now
I keep my leg straight when I
kick and it's helped me a lot." •
Boston University's John Thom
as is the favorite to capture the
IC4A high jump title March 4, but
both Wettstone and Campbell
should be strong favorites to place.
Wettstone said his main prob
lem now is to improve his style.
He doesn't know what his maxi
mum height is, but he thinks he
can hit 6-6 by the outdoor season.

State Retains Seventh Spot
In National Wrestling Ratings
By JIM KARL
Penn State's wrestling team
has retained its seventh place
ranking in the revised national
ratings compiled by the Amateur
Wrestling News despite losses to
Lehigh and Michigan.
The ratings were published be
fore the Lions' loss to Navy at
Annapolis Saturday. The Middies
were not listed among the top
25 teams.
Other teams in the top 10 were
(I) Oklahoma State; (2) Lehigh;
(3) Michigan;
.(4) Oklahoma; (5)
Iowa; (6) lowa State; (8) Army;
(9) Pittsburgh; and (10) Michigan
State.
Pitt, with losses to Michigan
and Army, dropped five
notches from its previous spot
as the 4th best team in hfe na•
lion while Lehigh (8-0) ad-
Yanced four places from sixth.
Penn State would probably be
missing from the top 10 if the rat
ings had been compiled after Sat
urday's loss. The magazine, the

ficials Association classified State
as a solid team.
"Penn State took a drubbing
from Lehigh but they have a
solid team that should hold its
own the rest of the way," the
magazine said.
Rutgers, another undefeated
entry in the East, was listed as a
top contender to break into the
first 10, but the competition the
Scarlet have faced to date hasn't
been of high calibre.
Rutgers and State will clash in
Rec Hall March 4.
On Feb. 25 the Lions will be at
home against arch-rival Pitt. Sy
racuse will provide the opposition
in a road date Saturday.
Although the Lions are having
an off-season after last year's
9-0-1 record, things could be
much worse. Except for three pins
in the last four bouts..against
Maryland, State would be 3-4.
