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.

Riflemen Lose 2nd o
By ZD CARP-ENTER
If you happen to be one of
the men who feel that women
arc taking over in areas where
you once were king, it’s a good
thing you didn’t attend Sat
urday's rifle meet against Mary
land.
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.
Maryland sophomore Rex Rad-

JONES HAD a 10-1-1 record last
year but had been unable to beat
out teammate Joe DeMeo this
year. DeMeo was unbeaten in
seven bouts this year, but Jones
won a wrestle-off to gain the
starting nod.’
“That win of Thiel’s was a big
one for us,” Speidel said. “He is
only a sophmore but he’s been
improving with 6very bout.”
er, the state Junior champion,
pulled the trick this week. The
score by Rader established a new
State rifle range match record. It
broke the old record held by the
former All-American Bruce Mere
dith of West Virginia. Meredith
shot a 294.

The Lion captain needed a

other four scorers were Neil An

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.
State now has a short vaca
tion until Feb. 2 when it enter

that dealt the Lions one of their
three losses last year.
