PRONE 11• I Lion Quintet To Encounter Bucknell Here Play Bisons Tomorrow After Losing Tilt To Pittsburgh. By DICK LEWIS Crushed to a 45-to-23 defeat by a fast, aggressive Panther five Satur day, the Nittany Lion passing com bination prepares to meet an unim pressive Bucknell squad in Recrea tion hall tomorrow night at 7 o'clock. The Bisons thunder across the mountains to face the Lions with a long list of defeats, illuminated by several victories this year. They man aged to down Susquehanna, 37-to-34, defeat iluhlenburg, 45-to-41, and edge Lafayette 'out of a tic by 38-to-37 points. Reviewing the Opposition Coach Mac Musser's aggregation lost to the Lion courtmen last year by a score of 41-to-32. There is lit tle reason to suspect that the Bisons will come back with any overwhelm ing strength this year, in view of the fact that the squad which will figure in the lineup is made up of three men with zero years of varsity experience. The Bisons have the unenviable rec ord of twenty-one straight defeats in the last two years. The probable line-up includes Joe Deegan and Bill Foltz, forwards; Bob Summers, • ,,iit, tip -oft position; and Herb Bowman and John Filer, guards. What this combination can do against the Blue and White tomorrow, night we will know tomorrow night. Look ing into our crystal, which was slightly shattered Saturday night, we predict only good entertainment. What Happened Saturday Night? Nothing happened to the Lion bas ketmen :Saturday night. We don't' think it's necessary to become the'of ficial apologist for the State basket ball team, but adverse critics of Sat urday's night debacle should concede the Nittanymen a right to a few de feats now and then, since that is also the prerogative of our opponents. And talking about grandstanders, we advise the witty boys whose cow bell lent such a sallow salute to Penn State's traditional sportsmanship on Saturday night, to go back to the high school and grow up. Pitt:vs. State *as the old talc of woe which arises when a good, fast big mair,works havoc on a good,fast Attie man.• The Pantheri gave' an exhibition of lightning basketball; They set the pace too fast for State to match. The Panthers fired into the lead in the first two minutes of the game when Jesko, Pitt right forward, alon6 and unguarded, took a pot at the bucket and scored. A minute later Jcsko duplicated, and thereafter the invading crew led the Blue and White around the floor as the Nittanymen tried vainly to approach the Panth ers' lead and never suite succeeded. At halftime the Panthers ied, 24- to-0. In the desperate minutes of the second half the Lions scrambled for the ball, but succeeded in scoring only fourteen additional points to twenty-one tellies for Pitt. High scorer of the game was Frank Smith, at guard, who compiled nine points for .the Lions with four, field goals and one free throw. Joe Garcia, Panther center, tallied seven points on three field goals and one foul shot. Sal MiehOiL,.;who: was substituted in termittently., at forward, reaped the impressive record of four points on four SOW ShotS„ a feat that has not been duplienteiL here for some time. College ., Health Service Treats Nerve Trouble At this time of year a large num ber of students are treated by the College health service for nervous dis orders resulting from overwork and worry over final examinations, ac cording to Dr. Joseph P. Ritenour, College physician. "Students should adopt a good hy gienic program for the entire school year," Dr. Ritenour said. "If they did, they would not have these trou bles," he said. Dr. Ritenour added that students cannot expect to live irregularly and not pay for it. "Many students get nervous and up set• over finals because they loafed earlier in the season, but it is too late in the semester to do much about it, now," he said. In the way of ad vice Dr. Ritenour said:"Drinking coffee and Coca Colas in order to keep awake all night is only foolishness.' Dr. Ritenour said that students who, may be suffering from nervous dis orders are encouraged to apply for treatment at the dispensary. THE PENN STATE.

Pitt Basketeers Down Lion Cubs Smoother Passing eof Visitors . Overcomes- Inexperienced Freshmen, 31-to-IS. • Showing clearly that they need more drilling, the Lion Cub cagers were tripped decisively . hy.a smoother working Pitt freshman five, 31-to-18, Saturday afternoon in Rec hall. Coach Brerhardus started Davies and Harrison at forwards, Prosser at center, and . Lang—and.Tarker at guards. Corbin, Toretti, Kaminer, Thompson, Sutton, and Buser were among the others who saw., action. The starting Pitt five.WEl:l compos ed of. forwards Bradley and Smith; center FAO; and guards Scott and Lindsay. Pitt Leads at.fiall Harrison, with six , Points, and Prosser; ,with five, were outstanding for State. Parker at tines showed promise as a guard and iloorman. Pabel, scoring twelve points, was high man for Pitt. Bradley was run ner-up with seven. .The Lion passers drew first blood when Prosser sank a two-pointer from the floor. They soon fell be hind, however, when Fabel, the Pan thers' center, began sinking free throws and field goals galore. State then rallied toward the close of the half and had ten points to Pitt's four teen as the half ended. The second half was Pitt's all the way. They chalked up eleven points before Prosser tallied for State with a foul shot. Pitt continued to pierce State's basket as Prosser, Lang, Sus ton, and Buser scored to bring the Lion total up to eighteen. 80 Trackmen Prepare For First Time Trials With his squad of about eighty freshman .and varsity track candi• dates gradually getting into shape after three weeks of easy workouts, Coach Charles "Chick" Werner Is hoping to start time trials•"sonsetime this week. Just whom the team compete against before the spring season opens is a .difficult problem to solve. A meet at the University of West Virginia was pending, but that school announced last week that they were discontinuing track. If there is enough good material to warrant it, Werner will 'Probably send some men to the Butler Relays at Indianapolis and to the A. A. U. meet in New York. Both of these will be held in March. When the weather permits the squad is working out on the small outdoor wooden track. Otherwise the indoor track is used. A schedule of training for the first two weeks in all track and field events _has been posted for those reporting late for the sport. Additional sophomore candidates for second assistant manager of track should report at the Locker Room in Recreation hall at 4 o'clock, Wrestling Team Outscores Michigan Gimpplers 19-11; Waite Gets Only State Fall Wolfson, Light, Waite, Krupa Victorious While Shaffer Wins by Default; Joe O'Dowd Thrown by Wright. By TOWNSEND SWALM Showing only occasional flashes of •the brilliancy and drive that:charac terized last year's wrestling team, State opened its wrestling season .by de feating a crippled Michigan squad, 1.9-to-11, in Recreation ball Saturday afternoon. Easily the outstanding bout of the afternoon was Suily Waite's tossing Hof 145-pound Wally Heavenrich, Michigan captain, with a reverse chancery and body hold in 9:03. From the referee's comthand to wrestli!, Waite rushed his more experiencedtipponent,"maintaining the offensive continuously. How ever, the initial 2 minutes having elapsed with neither man being forced to the mat, the coin was tossed, Michigan winning and electing the defenisi , fe. During the first 4-minute period !both men fought stubbornly with tHeavenrich ending up about 10 sea -1 undo to the good in time advantage I for the period. Sully was able to hold Ito his' advantage, for •about a minute land a-half, almost gaining a full sev- I oral times, with Captain Heavenrich finally breaking into the neutral posi- Won, standing. After about 45 sec ! ands of Heavenrich's dive took Waite to the mat, gaining the advantage from which Waite broke away, only to be taken down again as the period ended. In the second 4-minute period, by securing a hold on his opponent's leg, Waite avoided being thrown 'several times and finally broke into the neu tral position on the mat. Then fol.! lowed a swift exchange of advantages, first Waite securing the 'advantage and getting .behind, then Heavenrich going top, then Waite again, recur- i ing his throwing hold and pinning the Michigan captain's shoulders to the mat for the required 2 seconds. Thir ty-five.hundred spectators roared ap probation. Light Shows Gdod 'Form Lion Captain Jack Light showed some of the ability which earned him his Intercollegiate crown last year by defeating Earl Thomas, Michigan sophomore, by a time advantage of 4:24. Light had the upper hand for the duration of the match, Thomas spending most of his time in a suc cessful attempt to keep from being thrown. Only time advantage gained by the Michigan representative was from of fensive position taken at the start of the second 4-minute period; Light broke away after about a minute and neither gained' advantage niter that. This bout was Marred by an accident s b .• b to the • Penn State Collegian (Half Your College Education) —7o4_ Reduced Rate ALL OF SECOND SEMESTER for $1.50 . only SUBSCRIPTIONS WILL BE TAKEN at STUDENT UNION at REGISTRATION or THROUGH THE MAIL ADDRESS Penn State Collegian State College, Pa. in the opening 2-mintite period when Light's face collided' with Thonias' head, injuring both, and necessitat ing a 2-minute rent period. The'crowd laughed, •whether at the pain which the two contestants were undargoing or• something else, could not ibe de termined. Heavyweight Joe O'Dowd, after showing decided superiority over Tiny Wright, his 250-pound opponent, allowed the only fall gained by Michi gan. Joe showed much improvement over last year and had secured a time advantage of 4:15 when he was thrown. In trying to roll Wright over in order to press his shoulders to the mat, Joe was himself caught and ended up on his bark, with the• heavier • Wright keeping him in That( position for the required thne. Michigan 175-Pounder liefauns Sophomore Ross Shaffer,, Lion 175: pound representative, had no oppor-' Utility to show his ability Saturday, due to an injury received by Michi gan's light heavyweight, Mascumis hue when the Big Ten team topped Franklin and Marshall, day night. • For the most part, the remaining bouts were riither drab, 'run-of-the mill matches, with only occasional Bashes of color. Sammy Wolfson ex perienced little difficulty in securing I time advantage of 5:38 over. Johnny Speicher, Michigan 118-pounder. Ed ,Skrum, who wrestled on the Michigan varsity last year, defeated a determined Ray Brooks, sophomore newcomer to the Lion squad, •by time advantage of 2:5.1 in the 126- pound class. Freaky Bissell, Michi gan 155, was awarded a referee's de cision over Johnny . Salvin in extra rperliars. buiinti the main bout, both Page Mired men fought, evenly and as Bissell had less than a minute advantage when the bell rang, the extra periods were called for. Both men showed signs of weariness and the better condition and aggressiveness of Bis sell during the extra periods gave him the decision. Krupa Has Difficult Task Joe Krupa, faced with the difficult task of filling last year's captain and national champ Howard Johnston's shoes, Caine through to defeat Bill Lowell. Michigan 165, by a time ad vantage of 1:18. Joe displayed great aggressiveness throughout the match and was never in danger of being thrown, although he pressed Lowell dangerously near to that position on several occasions. As a whole, the bouts on Saturday revealed two things: First, that State has a bunch of very competent wrest lers who should develop into top notch performers as the season ad vances and they gain experience. Secondly, the driving pace that Coach Charlie Speidel was forced to set for his charges in the all too short train ing period preparatory to the Michi gan match has taken its toll. With the exception of Jack Light, who stood up well under the strain, all of the grapplers showed the effects of overtraining and were slightly off condition. . "While the two forthcoming meets with Temple and Pittsburgh cannot be classed as breathers, nevertheless they will not. present as tough oppo sition as Michigan (lid, and in the interval before the Lehigh encounter on February 15, much intelligent at tention will be spent in getting the boys into top-notch condition," Coach Speidel said after the meet Saturday. Grow '3B Establishes New Ski Jump Record Competing under the colors of the newly formed Penn State Ski Club, Al Grow, sophomore, established a new record for the ski jump, as he won the annual Buffalo Ski Club win ter sports carnival at the Allegheny State Park, N. Y., Sunday morning. Grow, an experienced jumper, who won the American Junior champion ship in 1032, set a new mark of 207 feet for the jump. He succeeded in breaking the old mark of 194 feet which he hung up last year. In addi tion to his record-breaking leap, Grow gave an exhibition in which he turned a double-flip off the jump. Because of the snow storm, conditions for the carnival were very had. At the time the COLTIX:JAN went to press, .the two members of the ski club who went to Cornell for the car nival there had failed to return.
