Posting the first winning varsity season in any sport in Penns Valley's short history, the Ram grapplers showed a marked improvement over the preceding year in recording a 5-3-1 log. Coach -Humphreys has turned out a team of which Penns Valley can be proud. A tough State College team whitewashed the Rams in the season's opener, 46-0. Several of the bouts were close including Lee Wolfe's 4-2 loss to State Champ Dick Tressler and Dougie Reider's 3-2 loss to strong Gene Tressler. Bellefonte handed us a 39-13 decision in which Zerby wrestled well in scoring a third period fall. Moshannon Valley was the victim of the Rams first win by a 29-15 count. Dean Rossman and Ernie Lucas showed good wrestling ability as Rossman downed his foe by a fall and Lucas easily picked up a 5-0 decision. Traveling to Moshannon Valley for our second meet with the Black Knights, Dave Homan's fall proved to be the turning point in our 30-18 win. Picking up an extra meet with jersey Shore, we fought the Bulldogs to an exciting 22-22 stalemate. Curt Bierly, Forrest Snare, and Roy Blair wrestled well as Bierly defeated previously undefeated Gary Decker 7-3. Snare handily downed his opponent 7-0 and Blair held his contestant to a 2-2 draw. Junior Hook showed a lot of spirit and ability in pinning his larger opponent to help secure a 29-16 win over Chief Logan. Winning 7 of 11 bouts, Bald Eagle downed the Rams 31-11, Dougie Reider fought undefeated Tim Gates to a 2-2 draw. Aided by good performances by Brown, Don Rudy, Ream and Corl we moved past Sugar Valley's Canemen 25-18. Brown worked 2 reverses before he fell into one. Rudy looked good in recording a 6-2 win, Ream, moving up to 138, worked well before being pinned, and Corl dominated his foe in winning a 7-0 decision.

BASEBALL 1959 While posting a 2-6 league record, the best Ram performance in three years of Central Counties League play, Penns Valley managed to slip out of the league basement. After dropping an S-2 exhibition game to Kishacoquillas, whom they outhit, Coach Gates's boys lost the league opener 8-2 to Philipsburg. Ron Eisenhart, john Schade, and Sam Bierly led our offensive at- tack against Bellefonte with one home run apiece. The Rams really put on their hitting clothes and trounced the Red Raiders 17-1. The following week we journeyed to State College and received a trouncing of our own 12-O. Playing a very loose defensive game paved the way for Bald Eagles 12-3 win in our home opener at the Old Fort. Eventual champ State College defeated us 6-1 as Sam Bierly did a fine job on the mound for the Rams. After leading for 31f2 innings at Wingate, the roof fell in and the Eagles of Bald Eagle went on to defeat us 10-2. Our weak defense again aided Philipsburg's Mountaintoppers to defeat us, 7-4 this time. Rich Weyman hurled the leagues only no-hitter this season as he defeated Bellefonte 7-2 in the league finale. Again errors hurt the Ram cause but Weyman's performance overshadowed this as he allowed no balls to be hit out of the infield and struck out 9 en route to his second win of the year. Ron Eisenhart led the team in batting average, hits, runs, and R.B.I.'s. His astronomical batting average of .545 also led the league. john Schade led the team in extra-base hits while Dick Weyman posted DICK WEYMAN a very respectable earned run average of 1.7 runs per game.
