By JIM KARL
Penn State's Bob Grantham
proved again Saturday that
he's a mighty handy fellow
to have around.
. Grantham, who competed in
seven events as a freshman against
Cornell last year, scored critical
points in three events to help the
Lions nip previously undefeated
Navy, 66 2 A-64 1 / 2 at Beaver Field,
Grantham scored a total of
nine points for State in events
that Navy, was expected to
dominate. He finished first in
the 220 low hurdles, second in
the 120 high hurdles and third
in the broad jump.
"Just when it looked like we
were in trouble Grantham upset
Navy's . applecart," Lion Coach
Chick Werner said yesterday.
"By reputation -Navy's hurdlers;
are better than we are. If Bob(
hadn't won the low hurdles noth-I
ing could have saved us from Et
defeat," he said.
With only three events re

2-mile run and mile relay—
State
was behind by 4% points.
56 1 /2-51%.
Grantham knocked .7 of a sec

the low hurdles to nip Tom'
Shields by less than a foot and ,
cut Navy's margin to 60',1-56%.;
Gerry Norman ran a 9:14.8 two;
mile, leaving his nearest competi-I
for 50 yards behind. State was;
now only 2% points behind but!
still needed a win in the
relay to clinch the match.
Bob Brown opened up a six I
yard lead on the first leg of the
relay and Mike Miller surpassed I
his best previous 440 by more I
than two seconds to widen the I
margin to 10 yards.
At this point State looked liked
a shoo-in for the relay and the

Navy's Noel Bing, who went to
high school with Davies in Tena
