"We can't win ball games with a first team and nothing else," he said. "I think we'll be mighty lucky if we defeat NYU, Pitt and Syracuse." Lawther said that his four best substitutes in order are Bob Crowell, Bob Ramin, . John Egli and Johnny Silan. Crowell, a senior and a veteran member of the squad, looked particularly im pressive on recoveries after his teammates missed shots. Crowell recovered four times and convert ed three of- the chances into goals. The team will return to the campus on December 30 and gain an ektra week of practice before swinging into a 16 game cam paign which will make or break the 1940-41 Nittany court season.

AMITY HALL "A Century of Bernice For Travelers ' Speidel Predicts Tough Schedule day "The bigger they come, the harder they fall," Coach Charlie Speidel says about this year's mat rivals, who form one of the hard est wrestling cards that the Penn State wrestlers have ever faced. With only Maryland, who tra vels here January 11, termed as an underdog for the Nittany wrestlers, the Lions will match half-nelsons and scissors holds with the toughest teams in - the East. Speidel's matmen will . Invade the Syracuse stronghold on Jan uary 18, the Orangemen indicat ing that they are going to be one of the most feared grappler squads in collegiate ranks. After a two-weeks break for final semester exams, the matmen meet three dangerous foes in three days, when they encounter Princeton away, Lehigh here, and Navy -away, on February 4,8, and 15. Lehigh and Princeton snatch ed first and second places in the Eastern Intercollegiate champion ships last year. Three straight home matches with Cornell, Michigan, and Army on February 22, 27, and March 1, will complete the dual meet sche dule. Michigan defeated the Lion grapplers, 16-14, last year when Heavyweight George Elliott, who was leading Michigan's Forrest Jordan, fractured his ankle. To round out the schedule, which promises to furnish plenty of grappling action, the Nittany Lions will compete in the East ern Intercollegiates at Columbia, March 7-8, and at the national championships at Lehigh, March 21-22. Gross, Dick Grimes, John Linde, Crowell, Egli and Silan. These 10 —or at least part of them—will undoubtedly make up the travel ing squad when the courtmen take to the road for nine games away from home between now and March 5. 6:~t.'~.;a~:7~:+~,~,"-;E~,"~.5,"`,:F3.5.S~.a~~T:W`"R..~~;.>:X^7.F.~v"~~ , ti.."'a..i' 5 ..~" ~F~:E.4'"~.
