Slontests Open. to All Students Interested By TOWNSEND SIVA,M Now that Christmas vacation :is - merely a thing to look back on,wreSt ling coach Charlie - Speidel, is'. faced with the arduotii task of 'trying to counteract The effects of late hours, Christmas candy, egg nogg and other things representative of the holiday spirit which have alt conspired to un due what progress . the State grap plers had made before vacation set in. An. opportunity for drug store and beer garden wrestling experts to form first-hand opinions of, the prospects for the coming wrestling season is afforded next Saturday at 2:30 in Roe hall when the finals of the annual .alL.College interclass wrestling meet will be run off. Eliminations are noW under way in - Rec haTl,nrid will con tinue throughout the week. . The interclasi . meet, . which is, not to be confused With the' intramural meets which will beheld 'later, is olien to all students Without restriction' and will serve the iltinEpurpoSe estab lishing which of -the'.fotir . classes is superior on the mats' and Will serve as a means of selecting the varsity men who will. meet Michigan here January 18 in the first meet of the 'season. Upsets Probable. Although it seems probable that fa vorites,. last year-varsity and-fresh man team Members, will dominate the coinpetition, upsets-mayoccur; in fact if past performances - . mean anything, several unknowns slionld be on top when the final votes are counted. Last year's competition was marked by sev eral upsets, particularly Reynolds' defeat of Clark in the 125-pound grouping.' . , An interesting little story of NeW Deal red o tape has developed' in con nection with this year's. wrestling, team: It seems that it 'MIS been a sort of precedent in past years for all Penzi.State wrestlers to have had lit tle or no previous experience in the gentle art before' coaling to College: Last .Year, however; this condition seemed dimmed to extinction when a Sliamokir' rrifigh - School7wrestling-can-, taro in the person of RObert.Weimer; I .signed up, for,the freshman class.. Coach Speidel watched with incred uality, amazement and some degree of satisfaction this lad's development in; to a first-class freshman wrestler : . •in the 125-pound. class, thinking no doubt; that he would supply good ma terial for the team this year. This year, however, although practice was announced through various media and had been under way for some time Coach Speidel noticed that day after day Weimer failed to report for prac tice, and an investigation ensued. To Engage In 9 Meets It seems that in addition to carrY log, a pre-med curriculum,Weimer al so does NYA work in orer to stay in college., This in itself is not unusual (consider the case 'of many of our football players), howeVer, (unlike our football players) Weimer must do his NYA work every afternoon froni 3 to 5 during which time wrestling practice occurs. It's all very complicated and no one seems to know what to do about it. EZ-wrestler Weimer has been to see voi•ious,individuals about getting his • Continuing Our . January .

Balanced Boxing Squad in Danger If Donato Leaves Failure To Find Work May Force Him To Withdraw. Varsity Ringmen Start Training for First Meet By 808 GRUBB ..The possibility that SammyDonato, sophomore welterweight, may he forced to leave school' at the end of the semester has darkened Coach Leo Houck's hopes for a well-balanced Lion ring squad as the opening meet with Western Maryland looms less than three weeks away. 'Conch Houck had looked for great things from Donato this year, but the 145-pounder's failure to obtain work may result in his leaving school.. The 145-pound class will not be left en tirely vacant, howmier, as Dick Flen niken, returning to the ring after a year's absence, is showing fine tofth in training. Saturday - saw the beginning of in tensive work-outs and the Lion men tor had several of the veterans in the ring. Flenniken showed up the best of all in Saturday's boxing. Captain Russ Criswell, Lou Ritzie,. Iziy Rich ter, Bob Donato, Johnny Sawehak, and Frankie Goodman were among the others who boxed Saturday. Foster Suffei•ti Injury Dave Foster, a junior who has not been in , the ring since his freshman year, will probably not be a contend er i either the 155 or • 165-pound classes due to an injury suffered while playing basketball. While interclass ring activities will occupy the spotlight throughout this week, the varsity will continue the in tensive training pace started after the end of the vacation period. The Lion Pitmen open their 1236 schedule a Week earlier than last year when the Green Terrors come here January 25. A large number of candidates for the freshman team reported to Couch blike Zeleznock yesterday afternoon. The freshmen will work out every af ternoon from, 2:30 to ~ 131) o'clock.

Nittany Passers To Meet Quakers Away Tomorrow 4 Casualties• . Weaken Team; McWilliams May Not Play. By DICK LEWIS Tomorrow morning.ht 11 o'clock, a crippled Lion basketball team leaves State College for Philadelphia to take the floor against an impressive Penn team in the Palestra',4 8 o'clock to morrow nigh.

It will be a limping brood of Lions that Spike Leslie uricages in the Pa lestra tomorrow night. With the pos sibility that both McWilliams and Reichenbach.both may be out of the line-up, the team faces a crisis on the eve of its first real test.

What Is Bundling? .1 Up to tomorrow night, Penn has batted .750. They defeated Lafayette 41-to-37; La Salle 30-to-28; lost to Syracuse 39-to-SO; and defeated P.M. C. 32-to-18: 'The Blue and White passers have only their victory over Ithaca, and a practice game with Lock Haven State Teachers Saturday af ternoon, which they won 48-to-35. What these two encounters indicate is nothing more than a few good in dividual players; no clicking combina tion that is sure to being out the best competition the team has to offer is revealed. Not a League Game' Coach Leslie figures that Perin will bring out the best and the Worst in the team. In. twenty-four clashes with the QuakerS, the Lions have won five. Last year, they stumbled into a .18-to-22 defeat, the worst in many a moon. The Lions' performance will not go down into the annals of league competition, since it is a non-league game. The Nittany basketeers make their bow into Eastern Intercollegi ate Conference circles January 18 against Pitt. Navy appears across the bows Saturday and Syracuse next Wednesday. It has been rumored around this in stitution for quite some time now that some sort of ii' jinx or hex or some thing follows Penn State teams down to Philadelphia and 'hovers over the boys, which is one reason why Penn turns them out with a defeat. Ac cording to no particular authority in mob psychology, a jinx is something' you use to rationalize a defeat; but strangely enough the mere suggestion of jinxes has a psychological effect on a team which does their morale no little damage. Penn, on paper, seems to be weaker this year than it has been for several seasons past. The Lions have a bunch of regulars, a whole team full in fact, which haven't 'been. able to collaborate for mass action. Practice over Christ mas vacation has brought out more than injuries; it has welded the Li on's into what approaches a' machine that has more than an even clifince to take the Red ang Blue over. Women.in.

The next'gnmes will be held to morrow night at the Dux bowling al leys. George Haines, Delta Upsilon, while practicing to get in trim . front over the vacation, had the weird experi ence of getting fourteen pins on one roll. Placing all the power that he could muster behind the ball, Haines sent it down the middle of the alley. l He not only got a strike but one pin, was knocked over the partition sepa rating the alleys and knocked down four pins in the adjoining alley. There was considerable discussion as Co how he was to mark the score.
