In order to accomodate an ex

their first view of the sport in the
Nittany Valley Manager William
E. Stohldrier '4O has announced
that the rink, which has been
constructed lengthwise over the
last few tennis courts of the flood
ed area, is of regulation size He
also stated that all conditions for
the sport's debut on "Conger's
Lake" are official.
With the Nittany sextet getting
daily workouts on ice for the past
two weeks, Coach Art Davis'
Lions' chances for avenging the
previous 4-1 loss to Hershey
seems at least fair

CINEMNIA
Racy romance, hectic comedy,
wild and exciting action', That's
the only way to describe "His Girl
Friday," opening at the Cathaum
tomorrow and continuing Monday
and Tuesday
Cary Grant, cast as a heartless,
thoughtless, shameless newspaper
editor who's a grand guy despite
his shortcomings,
shares the dou
ble billing with Rosalind Russell,
portraying a stubborn, stunning
spitfire of a sob sister who refuses
to be "His Girl Friday"—or Sat
urday, Sunday, or_ any other day
Ralph Bellamy is the bewildered
and fretful Casper Milquetoastish
insurance salesman' to whom she
turns for "protection "
To tell much of the story would
spoil its merry plot, but the whole
thing centers around editor Cary
Grant's attempts to prevent sob
sister Rosalind Russell from marry
ing the insurance agent Ralph Bell
amy. All three are ideally cast,
and the results, as we saidabove,
are racy romance, hectic comedy,
and wild and exciting action

Unusual to a degree that is al
most mysterious, the Canadian
champs, aside from sending five
Intercollegiate ring titlists, are
throwing in a pair of ministers, a
dentist, an experienced farmer
and a person who bears the
somewhat odd title of "Assault
Winner" Toronto is without a
heavyweight entry, however, and
Coach Houck has agreed to two
155-pound bouts instead
Sandson. Nycz In Infirmary
It's the last item that is causing
the State mentor a lot of trouble':
When he agreed to it he thought
he had two good 155-pounders
Bernie Sandson who won with a
59-second TKO last week, and
Chester Yycz, an up and coming
rumor. Both wound up in the inz.
firmary this week and will be un
able to box
' As a result Bob Baird will move
up to one of the 155 pound berths
with Frank Silvestri filling the
other one. Homer Hoffman, star
at Mont Alto last year, will make
his' varsity' . debut in the. 145-
pound spot
Other changes will see George
Hankins at 120 pounds in place of
Vic Fiore and sophomore Paul,
Mall replacing his classmate
Harry Masters at 175 pounds.
Captain' Mike Cooper will occu
py his usual position in the 127-
pound division Red Stanko at
135, and Jim Levi's at 165 will
complete the Penn State line-up
• Toronto Line-up
The Toronto roster presents a
somewhat more diversified and
certainly a more bewildering line

At 120 lbs Bob Hurst . Intra
mural Champ '3B-'39, played soc

for faculty paper, and a student
of oriental languages.

Milk!' Fra;lor To Hurdle
Barney Ewell, Penn State's
ebony flash, will be the lone Lion
representative at the annual Mill
rose games next week as an en
trant in the 'dashes, Coach Chick
Werner stated yesterday. How
eifer, last year's
_captain, Miller
Frazier, will i - un in the 50-yard
high hurdles
Ewell was the only Lion track
man invited to the New York
"championships" and will run only
'the 60-yard dash, his indoor
specialty
probably be lucky to even
place,' Barney commented when
asked what he thought of his pros
pects "I don't know exactly who
else is entered, but I expect to get
the most trouble from Enlace Pea
cock and Herb Thompson," Barney
added
Last year Ewell was second to
Tlimhpson" in thesame event the
two will be in next week It is
also expected that Eddie Junghans,
former Lancaster High teammate
of Ewell, and Johnny Maher of
Villanova will be entered
The competition that Frazier
wi,ll meet remains an unknown
quantity
Billy. Soo icir Clark in
Third Round For 20th Win
Boasting his 12th knockout and
20th victory in 23 professional
fights, Penn State's former inter
collegiate boxing champion, Billy
Soose, will make his second ap
pearance in Philadelphia on Mon
dainight against an unannounced
opponent
Soose flashed a terrific body at
tack to knock out Jimmy Clark,
Buffalo negro, in 1 10 of the third
round of their scheduled 10-round
final in Scranton last Monday The
former college boxer dropped his
opponent once in each of the three
rounds that the fight lasted ,

Stimulated by smashing tri

the Nittany Lion grapple's will be
pointing for "Victory No 3" when
they encounter the Orange mat
men from Syracuse in Rec Hall
at 3 p m tomorrow
Syracuse, led by footballer
George Hooper, will be pointing
for its first win this year, having
dropped meets to Lafayette, 19-11,

Captain Hooper, star heavy
weight, won nine straight bouts
last season and is undefeated to
date this year The Orange Cap
tain, who was runnerup for the
Eastern Intei collegiate title, ,de
feated Warren Elliott last year,
but the Lion heavy has improved
and should provide a real struggle
in the heavy affair tomorrow
Sophomore Claw Hess, flesh
from his first varsity win in the
Chicago meet, will meet Lyle
Swift, Orange Junior, in the 121-
pound tilt.
Two undefeated wrestlers, Lion
Frank Gleason and Syracusian
Clarence Fatten• clash in the 136-
pound struggle, when both will be
striving to remain victorious
In the 145 and 155-pound classes,
a change in the lineup may be
necessary because of sickness Roy
Gensler is in the College Infirmary
and it is doubtful whether or not
he will be able to wrestle
In case Gensler does not enter.
the Orange meet, there is a pos
sibility that Joe Scalzo will take
Gensler's slot at 155, and that a
substitute will start for the Nittany
Lions at Scalzo's former post at
145
Dave Waite will be seeking his
second win for the Blue and White
when he faces Ed Lee, Orange
