The recruits from whom Coach Charlie. Speidel had hopsd to discover
material to plug .‘in', the weak spots in. the Jjneuji, have not' developed suffi

practically the same personnel ns pre

The ' Nittanyites, however. , have
met up . with, the Princeton'-Tigers

To Face Cornell
In what will - in all probabil-ty be a

-1 row afternoon at Ithaca, N. Y.
. Although, Coach Galbraith hii? been
holding time'trials'for ihe better part
of >.the.Last week, a.,definite team to
make-the trip .has not yet .been picked
because of intense competition in.cer
tain. events. .Others events,. ch as
the' breast stroke, hifvc almost been
given up for lack of the same thing;
Although, it is recognized , that 1 the;
.Lions^ill ’need luck, to win, and plen
ty of- it; it is felt that the G’.v-nnland
mermen* have an even chance, at ev
erything hut the distance -events.
Thus .it will probably be'tfiese same
distance events .that will dec dc the
meet, and these ever.ts depend upon
one man, ; Ken-Bunk.. Bill V.-ehl is
expected, to do his share for the team
along with Ken. . •
Throughout 'the ocher events the
teams are pretty even;;/ matched, in
-1 dicating that the meet will be one of
competition, for second places,' the
firsts ,beihg’ split fairly, evenly.. De
cision.upon who. will.go’ to Ithaca has
be&n"'delayed in the dashes ' Ly the
number of good men (7) who are
fighting tooth ahd nail for the lead
in the events, making it hard to de

Hope To Regain Stride At
Pittsburgh Tomorrow Night
By JOHN A. TROANOVITCH
Still clinging: to whatever slim hopes remain, Penn Spate’s bns'cetbnl)
Lions will move into the lair of the championship-defending Pittsburgh Pan
thers tomorrow night, aiming to regain their early-seasors stride and re
gain in the running for the Eastern Conference title. ' 1
Although trailing Temple’s league-leading Owls by a game and-a half,
State can whittle the lead to a single victory tomorrow and stay within
striking distance*of the league pinnacle. On the other hand, n defeat would
practically eliminate the Lions alto
gether.
The Owls, who barely edge l‘ Pitt,
43-41, W.ednesday night, mu=*. face
Pitt once more before the end of the
season, besides meeting Carnegie
•Tech and Georgetown. Temple
whipped Carnegie in their first meet
ing, 39-37, but bowed.to the Hoyas,
39-22.
Meanwhile, the Lions also w>ll have
another tussle, with Pitt, as well as
Carnegie and'West Virginia.' in their
'initial meetings, State.-, tripped the
Tartans. -39-33, and the Mountain
eers, 33-29; r
Worst Defeat
Obviously off form, the Lio><. were
ground to bits. in Rer hall Tuesday
night by a massive Temple wrecking
machine that averaged every bit of
six-feet-i’our and spouted field goals
from ev'iry piston. The-49-39 defeat
was State’ most disastrous of the
season. The ten-point difference,
however, fails to show how clearly
State was outplayed..
Only once during the entire game
did the Lions hold ihe lead. Co-cap
tain Sol MiehofF basxeted the first
goal to set up a 2-0 edge th\t was
wiped out before -the cheering died
down. After that it was just a sad
nightmare, although big Charley
Prosser, who fought his heart out;
knotted the count at 4rall a few min
utes later.
Rattled by Temple's unerring long
shot artists, the State defense
cracked open wider than the Grand
Canyon. Again and again, Temple’s
fast-passing attack sucked .tb- Lions
away from the basket, leaving plen-

Frosh Gagers To Play
Tech Here Tomorrow
Opposing ,a team they have never
defeated on the court. Penn State’s
freshman cagers will attempt to
prove the exception when they meet
the Carnegie Tech fl'osh in Recrea
tion hall tomorrow afternoon at‘2:3o
o’clock.
Although the Nittany- cubs, have
scored wide-mavgin victories over
Dickinson Seminary and Bucknell,
Coach Nick Thiel is dubious about
the Tartan game. With Tom Vargo
ill in the infirmary, the limited re
serve strength of the frosh is Thiel’s
thief concern.

Ed Sapp 'and Johnr.v MofFatt, for

Fighting at 145 pounds will he either Paul Bachman or Hemic Sand
ton, while Captain Sammy Donato will continue to box ir. the 155-pound
class. In the 115-pound class Houckt
plans to use either Mike Co!.per or

men around which co mold a team.
In the meantime, however, AW Sop
chak, a'veteran from last year, quit
the squad shorlly after the Western
Maryland fights.
With six vacancies left in tr.c team,
the amiable “Doctor" has formed a
team of six novices' and two veter
ans. As each meet comes and goes,
ringside observers' hive noticed im
provements . in the abilities of the
fighters. Roy Hanna, perhaos, best
illustrates the. work of.the maestro
of fisticuffs. A 1 Bolder, and Heber
Lessig, have learned some of the fin
er points, of the, game, which they
showed iii the North Caroline fights
and in recent practice sessions.
