PAGE TEN Hittany Wrestlers Submerge Cornell, By JIM BUKATA Assistant Sports Editor It only took the first five bouts to decide Penn State’s 21-10 win over Cornell at Ithaca, N.Y., Saturday after noon. Scoring four wins and a draw, the Lions had a comfortable 16-2 lead and all but had their third win in five starts in the bag. After Denny Slattery drew with Neal Orr in a 122-pound bout, Bob Haney, Dave Thiel and Geo rge Edwards recorded decision wins, and 157-pounder Art Weiss won by default. “My lightweights got the team off to a good start,” head coach Charlie Speidel said. “We got the good lead and then held them off.” SLATTERY FAILED to break his losing streak but managed a 5-5 lie with Orr. The Cornell wres tler used a last period escape to knot the match after Slattery had taken the lead with a reversal. For the second straight year, Haney defeated Jim Meldrim. The Lion wrestler had things his own way as he recorded the 12-3 win over the previously unbeaten Meldrim. Haney is now unbeaten in five straight bouts. Haney had the bout in his hands after the first period when he scored two takedowns and two predicaments to build' up a 7-0 lead.

The Terps came to the Nittany Valley with 10 riflemen, two of whom were coeds, Pat Sanford and Jean 1-lajes. These two "Annie Oakleys” shot impressive scores of 284 to help lead their team to a 1443-1418 victory over the Lion riflemen. Saturday’s loss was in many respects similar to the one the sharpshooters suffered last week at West Point. First, both of the scores shot against the Lions were better than 1440. Second, a shoot er on both the West Point and Maryland teams came up with a high score of 295.

Following the loss to Army, Lion coach Sgt. Joe Watson wasn’t too disappointed because the team showed improvement in their scores over the previous matches. However, it was a different story in Saturday’s meet. Although eight of the ten shooters broke 280, many of the riflemen had scores below their average as the team score dipped from 1424 to 1418.
