PAGE TEN Oberly's Pin Helps MatmenWin,! 8-13 By JIM KARL If Jim Horner had any doubts about Johnston Ober ly's talent, they vanished in Rec Hall Saturday night. Obcrly pinned the Rutgers heavyweight with 3:14 left, en abling Penn Slate to win 18-13 in the final dual meet of the season. If was the second straight week Oberly has come up with a pin to break a lie and give Penn Stale (6-4) a victory. Bob Guzik was the victim in State’s 17-13 win over the Pan thers last week while Horner was the fall guy this week. "Oberly’s good, there’s no two ways about it.” Horner said in the locker room after the meet. “He can move his weight, that’s the important thing. I thought I was fast until I met him.” Horner, 9-1-1 going into the meet, was trying extra hard agLinsi the "Big O." He and Oberly met once before in the first round of the New Jersey State tournament with the "Big O" scoring a fall. That was the first and only time Horner was pinned in his high school career. “I was hoping for an escape and then a takedown in the second period,” Horner said. “ T knew I couldn’t hold him in the third; period. No man in the East could, or in the nation, for that matter.” Horner thinks that Oberly has as good a chance in the upcoming national tournament as anyone. "Lewis (Dale Lewis, national heavyweight champion from Oklahoma) is a great staller like Guzik. If Oberly ever meets him, he’ll kill him.” Oberly’s fall climaxed a Penn Stale comeback after the Lions suffered two losses and a tie in the first three matches. Bob Hogan scored two take downs and an escape in the sec ond period after a scoreless first stanza and went on to record a 6-2 decision over Denny Slattery at 123. Dick Jsnish widened Ihe Scarlet lead to 6-0 with an es cape and a takedown in ihe fi nal period to defeat Tony Scor do. 5-4. Dan Johnston prevented Rut gers from taking a commanding 9-0 lead bv countering Mike Lola’s attempts to get his famous double leg takedown. Johnston escaped with two minutes left in the final period to gain a 3-3 draw with the EIWA 130-pound champion. Ron Pifer amassed 7:25 minutes of riding time in his (i-0 shutout over Bob Nelson to cut the Scar let 'cad to 8-5. Jerry Seckler scored all his points in the second period to defeat Wayne Knoll, 3-1, and knot the score at fl-8. Bill Mac- Grath escaced in the lasl period to m?*ch John Barone's second slanr.e escape and deadlock the match, 1-1, Then Phil Myer (177) won his second clutch match in as many weeks to give the Lions a 13-11 lead. Behind 1-0 going into the final stanza. Myer reversed at the start of the neriod and gained a point for riding lime for a 3-1 victory over lanky Don Corv.

PENNSYLVANIA DESK 'Big Three 7 Hold Chisox Flag Hopes (Another in a series of major league team prospects written under the managers’ own by lines.) Chicago White Sox By AL LOPEZ Sarasota, Fla. (fP) Last year, the White Sox were first in bat ting and fielding and third in pitching. But we finished third in the American League pennant race, and that was a big disap pointment to me. When you’ve been a manager as long as I have, you get to expect the unexpected. But I’ll have to admit that I did not ex pect such comparatively poor sea- GARDEN CITY, N.Y. (JP) “It the Chicago White Sox don’t want me, I don’t want the Chi cago White Sox—l’ve yielded as much as I intend to. I’m ready to be traded.” ' Bob Shaw, pitching star of the American League pennant win ners in 1959 but a disappointment last season, stood his ground yes terday in his salary squabble with White Sox vice president, Hank Greenberg. sons from our three top pitchers, Billy Pierce, Early Wynn and Bob Shaw. Pierce came down with an in jury that limited his victory total to 14. Wynn and Shaw won 13 apiece after outstanding seasons the year before. I am looking forward to im proved performances by all three, plus the continued'development of Frank Baumann, who was one of! lour bright spots in 1960. j Our new pitchers. Cal McLish ; from Cincinnati and Juan Pi- ! zarro from Milwaukee, should i TUESDAY. MARCH 7. 1961 give us considerably more strength. To get the new pitchers, we had. to give up Gene Freese, a very good hitter. However, I'm sure that his place at third base will be adequately filled bv J. C. Martin. He had a fine year at San Diego in 1960. Otherwise, there will be very few changes. I have the best men in the league in Nellie Fox at second, Luis Aparicio at short, Jim Landis in center and Sherm Lollar behind the plate. Minnie Minoso in left and A 1 Smith in right field give us plenty of strength at those po sitions. Both had fine years in 1960. Camilo Carreon showed us enough at the end of last season to indicate he'll make a fine substitute for Lollar. In addition to Martin, we have a few other rookies who could make the club. Stan Johnson and Floyd Robinson, both outfielders, had good years in the Pacific Coast League. Gary Peters, also up from San Diego, Winston Brown, and former Penn Stater Ed Drap cho, who were obtained in the minor league draft, are pitchers who will get a long look in spring training. Over-'’l, I think we are from 20 to 25 per cent improved over last season. We finished 10 games behind the Yankees last year. But I feel we have strengthened our selves enough to make up the dif ference.
