Varsity, Frosh
Test Strength
By DEAN BILLICK
Sports Editor
ANNAPOLIS, Md., Feb. 8—
The Penn State "Nittany Lion
Traveling Bus" arrived • here
late tonight, dropped off the'
unbeaten freshman basketball
team, and then quietly slipped,
off to BaltimOre where the 11-3
varsity cagers bedded down;
awaiting tomorrow's clash with
Navy.
It was a - quiet, but determined
group -of Lions that made the
four-hour trip. To a man, they
realized that the battles with
Navy mean more than just "an
other •game."
For the varsity, a_win over the
Middies is a must if the cagers
expect to stay in pogt-se - ason tour
nament contention. For the`frosh,
it marks the first real test of their
strength. •
THE VARSITY clash is sched
uled for 2 at the Navy Fieldhouse
and the frosh at 3 in another
Navy gym.
Like most teams, State has had
trouble winning on Navy:s home
floor. The Lions can show only
10 victories in 31 games here and
their last win was in 1956 by a
70-65 margin.
However, this may be the 'big
year for coach John Egli's round
bailers. The 'Lions have built up

"We should win this one," coach
Sgt. Joe Watson said earlier 'this
week., "Villanova has beef shoot
ing around 1400."
THIS IS. the one meet - that the
Lions must win if they .hope to
finish this season
.With a winning
record. .A loss to the Wildcats
would even the Lions' record
going into Friday's meet against
West Virginia.
The Mountaineers, who have
already defeated West_ Point, are
the only undefeated team in the
East.
"The boys know they . have to
beat Villanova," Watson said.
"Their work is certainly cut out
for them."

Brumbach, Chuck Nagel, Neil An
derson, Walt Estep, Warren Gross

The Navy contest js the first of
three road games for State that
could make-or-break the Lions.
Next week the Nittanies travel to
Gettysburg and then visit another
service academy—Army.
A VICTORY over the Middies
will be no easy task. Navy is just
7-7, but has . won its last three
and coach Ben Carnevale's Mid
dies always prove tough with the
Corps yelling behind them.
Egli plans to stick with the
same lineup that has sparked
State to its surprising record.
Leading scorer Earl Hoffman and
top rebounder Ron Avillion will
start at forward, sophomore flash
Bob Weiss and playmaker Bobby
Donato will handle the guard
posts and Tom Malinchak will
be at center. 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. The
Middies
,are 11-1 and riding a
nine-game winning streak. Their
loss was to the Gettysburg frosh
in double overtime.
Coach Snowy Simpson will
start his regular five of Ray

Mayor H. Roe Bartle•contacted
Hunt several weeks ago when he
learned there was a possibility
the Texans might move because
of competition with another pro
club, the Dallas Cowboys of the
National Football League. One of
his inducements was enlargement
of the stadium, for which the
city has bond money.
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. However, Klima said
that he may do some last-minute

shuffling of positions, depending
on the Syracuse lineup. This
means that a fencer who was pre
viously number three could move
up to number two or number one,
and vice versa. Klima probably
won't announce his final lineup
until just before the meet starts
at 1 p.m.
