Sophomore Terry Hoover is also slated to see plenty of action at center. THE LION FROSH carry a 4-0 record into their clash, but Navy will be their first tough test.

ENNSYLVANIA Nittany Swordsmen Seek Revenge Against Orange On the afternoon of Feb. 10, 1962, Penn State was engaged in a tight fencing meet against Syracuse at Rec Hall. With- the score knotted at 13-13, Orange substitute Al Rosenberg stopped the Lions' Bob Oliver in the final bout to give Syracuse the victory. Today State's fencers seek to avenge that defeat. Sporting a 2-0 record with victories over Temple and Johns Hopkins, they face the Orange at Syracuse this afternoon in what may turn out to be their toughest meet so far this season. Syracuse lost only three seniors from last year's squad. composed primarily of sophomores. Marty Dako, son of Orange coach Alex ander Dako, leads the list of re turnees. Dako won two of three bouts against the Lions last year and appears to be the top sabre man again this season. ACCORDING to Lion coach Dick Klima, Syracuse's foil team prob ably will give State the most trouble. Veteran Bob Fonaro, a double winner here last year, leads the Orange :oilmen. Syracuse owns a 2-3 slate so far this season, 'copping wins over Hobart and Utica. The losses came at the hands of Buffalo, Cornell, and Rochester Tech, three of the better fencing teams in the East. Today's lineup shows only one change. After an impressive per formance against Johns Hopkins last week, Junior Joe Bubinak moves into the number two foil positiOn. Bubinak fenced well while splitting a pair of bouts. The rest of State's lineup re mains intact.
