In the first place no longer will two com petitors strain and heave for nine minutes straight on the mats . . . Instead ; the bout will be divided into three three-minute periods . Let's take an example bout to explain the system . . . Captain Frank Gleason is meet ing Rip Hodson of Maryland in the•l36-pound bout . . .

COLLEGE Member of Federal Deposit Insurance Corporatioh Penn State Sliding Zone Beats City' Team As New York Scoring Star Fails To Gel A Point Special To The Daily Collegian NEW YORK, Jan 10—Penn State pulled what must be considered one of the biggest surprises in collegiate circles to date here last night when it toppled mighty NYU from the ranks of the undefeated by a 47-34 count. The Lions move on tomorrow to Pittsburgh where they face Pitt in another game which shows all signs of being a knock 'em dowh, drag 'em out battle. The Pan thers werP installed as favorites early in the week but tonight's up set throws an entirely different light on the contest. .Captain Johnny Barr ran up the amazing total of 16 points to spark his teammates to their upset over the Violets. Scotty Moffatt,' the other senior forward, was not far behind with .'ive field goals and a pair of fouls for 12 points. The Nittany five's sliding• zone defense, a specialty of Coach John Lawther's, baffled the proteges of Coach Howard Cann and was in strumental in holding down the usually high-scoring Violets. That and the slow-breaking attack used by the invaders was given most of the credit for the upset. Ralph Kaplowiti, the leading NYU scorer'during the past three years and one of the high scorers in the city, was held scoreless. Ed Stevens and Ben . Auerbach led the NYU scoring with 11 points each. Except for a short time midway in the c.econd half the Lion court men were rarely in danger. The halftime score was State 24, NYU 11 but the Violets soon pulled up to 35-25. Here the Nittany de fense momentarily weakened and NYU rapidly ran the score to 35- 31: At this point, however; the Lions got back in the ball game and pulled away while holding the Violets compartively scoreless. Tonight's contest is expected to be almost as tough for the local five for Pitt Coach H. C. Carlson has an all-veteran lineup.. For Pitt, Coach Carlson is ex pected to name Eddie Straloski and George Kockeran as starting forwards, Melvin Port as center, and Jim Klein and Sam Milano vitch as, the two starting guards. escapes, etc. are nil . . . A . fall in the second period by Gleason at the two minute mark and a fall by Hodson at the two and a half minute mark of the third period, would, still give the bout to the Lion leader, because his fall was scored earlier in his three-minute period than his opponent's . . . Gleason would win 5 to 3 .. . And then there's the time advantage points . . . In case—oh heck, fig ure it out for yourself, we're going to watch the bouts, instead of worrying about all these mathe matical possibilities.

Weak in veteran material and strong in reserves, Coach Charlie Speidel will cast four inexper-1 ienced but skillful sophomores in to the fray against the Terrapins, who last year defeated Hopkins, Gallaudet, Duke, Davidson, Hav erford, any; Lafayette. They lost to Rutgers. Sophomore Bill Stanley will. open mat hostilities when he tac kles the Terrapin's George Max well in the 121-pound class. There is a possibility that. Maryland Coach Jim Douglass may substi tute Bull Aymold for Maxwell. Seeking to continue his unde feated streak which he established as a freshman grappler, Charlie Ridenour, 128-pound red-headed flash, will go on the mat against Bob Syrle, another sophomore. Leading the Nittany Lions against the Terrapins will be Captain Frank Gleason, who also was undefeated last year in dual competition. Gleason will tangle with wither Shorty Rockstroh or Rip Hodson, 136-pounders. Rock stroh was the Terrapin regular last year, but he may move up into the 145-pound division where he would meet Allan Crabtree, an other Lion mat newcomer. Jumnin' Joe Scalzo, Nittany 155-pound strong man, will meet another titan in Jimmy Dunn, a Terrapin football piayer. Dunn has never wrestled before, but he is considered by Coach Douglass as one of his promising grapplers. At the 165-pound• post, Chuck Rohrer will pit his wrestling skill against Fred Weidner, who parti cipated in only a few bouts but revealed surprising strength this year. Hailed by the Terrapins as one of their greatest grapplers, Paul McNeil will clash with Joe Valla in the 175-pound tilt. However, McNeil, who has garnered 37 straight wins without defeat, may switch to the heavyweight spot, Coach Douglass indicated. : - ICMcNeil does •not grapple in the heavyweight class, Izzy. Leites, former Terrapin boking star, will meet Jack Kerns, sophomore re serve guard on the Nittany Lion football team.
