Substitutes Weak,
Lawther Says
Pessimistic about the chances
or his cage team in three tough
battles immediately after the
Christmas vacation, _ Coach John
Lawther last night bemoaned the
play of his reserve courtmen in
the Susquehanna game^.
"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.
The 10 cagers invited back for
this vacation-time practice are

"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.
