Ambitious youths bursting with
energy will be given an oppor
tunity to rid themselves of sur
plus weight in Rec Hall Sunday
afternoons from now until May
11, with the exceptions of Sun

mittee. With a well-rounded re
creation program planned for
each Sunday, the grand opening
is set for . this 'Sunday.
Admittance to Rec Hall will be
granted to all students upon pre
sentation of their matriculation

dent is admitted to the building,
he opens one of the side doors to
admit a person not a student, the
Sunday recreation program will
be abandoned.. Dr. Schott de
clared that the program is design-.
ed to accommodate students only.
Only through the cooperation
of all students can the Sunday
program continue, it was learned.
A campus patrolman will be sta
tioned at the southeast locker
MOM door to check matriculation .

floor soon after 2 p. m. and con-'
tinue until 5 p. m., after which

Nittany Lion Soccermen Select
'4O All-Opponent Collegiate Team
As a tribute to the meritous
playing of individual opponents,
the Nittany Lion soccermer.. with
the aid of Coach Bill Jeffrey last
night selected an all-opponent
team of individually outstanding
players against whom they con
tinued their streak of eight con
secutive seasons without defeat.
Although the Jeffreymen select
ed only one team, second team
hondrs and honorable mentions of
talented players were too numer
ous for the team and Coach Jeffrey
to agree upon.
In the, opinion of the coach and
players, Partridge of Penn and
Gukeyson of Army were evaluated
as probably the best individual op
ponents met during the season.
Following is the Nittany •booters'
preference for an all-opponent
team:
G... . Manhold Syracuse
RF....Patridge Navy
LP. .. Morrison Bucknell
