Records must come and rec
ords must go but in intramural
swimming it is quite exasper
ating to have time honored
records being erased almost
every other day.
In true IM tradition, every
swimming record has been
eclipsed at least twice in the past
two years. The . three swimming
and two specialty events are be
coming quite competitive. In the
free style, back stroke and breast
stroke the record times have all
been altered by at least five sec
onds.
Starling today and continuing
until March 4, the IM department
will be working with a tight

WASHINGTON (/P)—Elwood R.
(Pete) Quesada, peppery former
Air Force general, quit yesterday
as president of the Washington
baseball team after two 10th place
finishes.
This completed a reshuffling
that saw the.deparlure of both the
Senators’ president and general
manager while field manager
Mickey Vernon, the normal scape

remained on the job.
Quesada was replaced by in

the two-year-old team, will hold

Glennland Pool. Three meets will
be on tap every night from 5:30
to 6:30, and approximately half of
the past year’s records should be
splashed out of being if past per
formances are any indication.
SAM WEIR of Chi Phi who set
the record in the 60-yard free
style (30.5), will be the returning
champ. Looking as strong as ever
is defending champ Sigma Pi.
The champs will be aiming for
their third consecutive crown, A
dark horse for the title may be
Beta Theta Pi. The Betas have
been the swimming royalty off
and‘on for the past 15 years.-

ents. Among the /Indies, Navy
seems to always field one of the
best squads.
Actually IM swimming has
changed very little over the years.
Glennland Pool has always been
the base of operations, although
the season has been jumped from
November to January to compen
sate for the term system.
THE RACES are still 60 yards,
which is a distance most IM swim
mers can just about make with
very little energy to spare. If a
meet is close, the 120-yard relay
at the end the deciding
factor. For,instance last year - , with
the championship at stake, Sigma
Pi beat Beta Theta Pi by a hand’s
length in the relay.
In the diving event, the three
dives per man rule has endured,
except for a minor change in the
usage of an optional dive and a
required back dive.
Also this year the kick which
has disqualified most contestants
in the breast stroke has been
taken out. A scissors kick may
now be used.
The cramped quarters of Glenn
land Pool Have supplied the rabid
audiences with plenty of excite
ment. From 1946 when a team
called the “Yahoos” caught the
imagination of the spectators,
down to the present where long
standing rivalries are annually
threatening to splash their op
ponents out of sight, 1M swim
ming continues to grow.

Lion Fencers Open
Against 'Weak 1 Owls
f “We might not have the best team in the country, but we
sure have one of the biggest."
This is the way coach Dick Klima describes his Penn State
fencing squad which opens the 1963 season against Temple
this afternoon in Philadelphia.
Of the 12 swordsmen making the trip, ten are six feet or
taller, including eight of the starting nine.
The strength of this year’s outfit appears to lie in the foil
team, led by 6-2 John Cooper, a strong, aggressive sophomore.
In the number two spot is junior
Ken Vandenburgh, the biggest
man on the squad'at 6-4 and 200
pounds. Senior letterman Art Ful
ler holds down the number three
position, with junior Joe Bubinak
on hand as a substitute, if neces
sary,
"I DON'T KNOW what the
season as 'a whole holds for us,
but I think the foil team will
have a fine record,” Klima said
recently. “Our opponents may be
able to beat one of the men, but
they’ll have a heck of a time
stopping all three.”
The number one sabre man is
junior Chick Poole, another re
turning letterman. Poole, who
stands 6-3, is backed up by Jerry
Evans and Chuck Dooley in-the
number two and three .positions.
Evans, who at 5-8 is the team’s
shortest member, is labeled by
his coach as one of the most
promising . swordsmen on the
squad. Both he and Dooley are
sophomores, as is Phil lobst, the
first sub for the sabremen.
Lack of experience in-the epee
team may be a telling factor as
the season progresses. Senior
Dave Lewis, another monogram
winner from last year, is the
number one epeeist. The. 6-3, 190-
pounder is one of the “smartest”
fencers on the team, according to
Klima. Fred Davis and John Han
sell, a pair of sophomores, are
holding down the number two and
three spots. Ron Cooper, another
soph, is the sub for the epee team.
THE TEMPLE swordsmen,
coached by Ted Huber, have had
a rough time of. it so far this
season, dropping five of their first
six meets. B\rt 'the Owls’- poor
record doesn’t make Klima overly
optimistic about State’s chances
this afternoon.
“They’ve been fencing and we

haven’t,” Klima explained, indi
cating that there is no substitute
for actual meet experience to get
a team/‘in shape” mentally. For
several, - of the State fencers, to
day’s meet will mark their first
intercollegiate competition, and
this is bound to produce a couple
of cases of “jitters.”
One of the reasons for Temple’s
poor showing so far this year is
due to the loss via graduation of
several key members from last
year’s Middle Atlantic Confer
ence champions. One of the few
holdovers from that squad is A 1
Gallo, a senior who has been the
Owls’ top swordsman to date.
Bill Rose, another returnee,
started slowly this year but is
showing signs of the form which
made him one of Temple’s best
fencers last season.
