It was evidenced in the still resounding decision of the Max Peters-Iry Jontow scrap Tuesday night . . . It might be 'pos sible, and a good idea too, if more capable judges could be used in deciding the outcome of the finals . . With all due respect to the ROTC department officers and all - track coaches this writer sees no reason why the judging couldn't be done by someone notably versed in ring-lote . . . To - the kids fight ing for the IM championships, it's a pretty- important matter, and they should be-given every possi ble chance to win . . . This doesn't mean that the - Peters-Jontow de cision was the only questionable one during the tournament, but only proved the point by its un popular approval. Two healthy: -- rumors drifted West these last few days from out ,New York way-.. - ... First that if Billy Soose takes the count of Tami Mauriella -in their January 3 bout, the former •Penn State ringman will get a real-honest-to-goodness shot at the middleweight crown now physically (or otherwise) held by Ken Overlin . . . Rumor No. 2 has to do with Gates Gajecki, re tiring Lion ,grid captain . . . At the football banquet last Thursday .Bob Higgins . stated that he had received some "very good news" per telegrain about the Nittany pivot star,, but couldn't publicly announce it . . . By mathematical deduction,, would it be too far fetched to hope that the State star might be the center choice on the All-American Board's team which is due to- hit newsstands within the next . .week or so? Remenibtr Nestor Kociubinsky, frosh boXing coach last year and ex-Lion ring satellite . . . "Koch" has recently taken over duties as boxing instructor at the Broad wood A. `C. in New York . Who ever clinches the 175-pound wrestling post on Charlie Speidel's team which meets the University of Maryland grapplers on January 11, is in for a big night . . .

With Captain Frankie Gleason, Joe Scalzo, and Chuck Rohrer as his only varsity men returning, Speidel must rely upon his re serves and sophomores, who have shown excellent form during prac tice. Although 136-pound Gleason and Rohrer, 165-pound grappler, with Scalzo alternating at 145 or 155 pounds, have their posts well in hand, there will be an open fight for the other positions. Charlie Ridenour and Bill Stan ley, two sophomores, appear to dominate the 121 and 128-pound competition, while Tim Welch, Walt Polak, Bob Cressman, Irwin Curry, all sophomores, and Bill Vanderline, junior, offer a chal lenge to 'Captain Gleason. John Henry and Frank • Horpel lead the varsity competition for the 145-pound spot, with sopho mores Allen Crabtree, Len Git schier, Clarence McCall, and Jim Metzler fighting for recognition. In case Speidel decides to switch the dependable Scalzo to the 155- pound, position, the varsity grap pler will have tough going against Glenn Alexander, Tom Tate, and Curt Eves, who were reserves last year. Ben Snipas, Jim Bachman, Ralph _Sayre, and George Camp bell may dethrone Chuck Rohrer as the 165-pound varsity regular, but the 175-pound weight will be wide open between Joe Vallo, Skip Scott, Paul Richards, and Bob Sproat. Bill Bachman, brother of the former Captain Don Bachman '3B, may wrestle either in the unlimit ed class or a lower weight. John McHugh, Jack Kearns, and Jim Hale will compete in the unlimited group. THE DAILY COLLEGIAN Second-String Lions Play Most Of Game In what can hardly be called a fair test of playing ability, the Nittany cagers played topflight ball to sweep to a ridiculously easy 55-18 victory over Susquehanna in .Rec Hall last night. , The Lion first team made a mis take in even coming to the game and saw action for only 10 min utes. The second five entered the exhibition midway in the first half when the score was 16-0 and play ed until the final gun. • The high spot of the State per formance was shooting as the courtmen sank 25 out of 60 shots for a percentage of .416, their best of the season in this department. The floor play—of the first-string, at least—was nearly faultless as Coach John Lawther's continuity plays worked almost to perfection. Veteran Scotty Moffatt, starting his first game of the year, opened the Lion target practice about two minutes after the start by tallying from close under the basket on an assist by Elmer Gross. With that as a start the Nittany passers scor ed almost at will until they turned the ball game over to the reserves. The subs continued where the first team left off and by halftime had upped the , count to 26-5. In the second half they outscored the Crusaders, 29-13, to make the final score of 55-18 the greatest margin of victory run up in any of the three Nittany wins to date. No less than five Lion courtmen Moffatt, Johnny Silan, Bob Crowell, John Linde and John Egli—shared scoring honors wish eight points apiece. Moffatt got his share on four field goals with in the first 10 minutes of play. The summary: Penn State (55) G. F. Pts.

Dercum's decision was based mostly on the results of the time trials held 10 days ago. Practice has not been held since that time, due to the bad conditions on the ski trial. In the Lake Placid meet, 12 col leges are expected to compete for the President Harding Trophy, symbolic of the team honors. Mid dlebury won the trophy last year, with Harvard as runner-up. Colgate, Cornell, Middlebury, New Hampshire, Penn State, Prin ceton, St. Lawrence, Syracuse, Williams, Yale, and possibly Ham ilton College will seek honors at the coming meet. Harvard has indicated that it will be unable to participate, and Dartmouth 'has not been listed as yet. McGill, St. Patrick's, Queens University, and Toronto of Canada, which have lent an international aspect since the games were in augurated, are missing from the list of schools entered. However, there should be plenty of fireworks in the Lake Placid event, because of an even distri bution of strength among the schools. Dartmouth, leader in the ski meet for years, will face some stiff opposition this time.
