surprise if Wade Mori, State grid
star,..makes his debut at the un

On Campus
Big Ten Champs
Meet Gym Team
A well-balanced University of
Minnesota gym team, defending
Big Ten champion, invades the
Lions! lair today to furnish the
State acrobats with their tough
est competition of the season.
The meet is scheduled to get un
der way in Rec Hall at .2 p. m.
The Gophers bring only four
competitors with- them on their
initial invasion of State College
but their decisive victory over
Chicago, loser to State last Satur
day, indicates a definite threat
to Coach Gene Wettstone’s min
ions. Included in the visitors'
lineup is Co-Captain Bon Han
ning, national champ on the par
allel bars and Co-Captain Delver
Daly, Big Ten all-around cham
pion. The two leaders are given
considerable support by Newton
Loken and Frank Grossman.
To stave off the Mid-Western
ers’ threat, Wettstone will rely
chiefly on his four consistent
point winners,- Roman Pieo, Lew
Bordo, Sol Small and John Try
bala. Not daunted by Minneso
ta’s reputation, the Lion mentor
expects State to emerge a close
winner if all four reliables per
form trye to form. The Lions
have won two out of three meets
to date, defeating Navy and Chi
cago while losing to Arxny -
Nilfany Tankmen fate
Strong Rutgers Team
Conceded the Lions toughest
opponent this yeaT, the powerful
Rutgers swimming team comes
here at 2 p.m. today to battle the
Nittanymen in their last borne
meet.
In view of the fact that Rutgers
decisively drubbed Penn last
week and that the Quakers
promptly downed-the State swim
mers, the Lions’ chances .for turn
ing the tables on the visitors are
slim.
But as Coach Bob Galbraith
says, “Swimming is one sport
that is hard to predict,” and the
tilt with Rutgers may find the
State splashers on the long end
of the score when the spray has
blown away.
