Because it is still rather early in the year, Coach Paul Campbell urges all freshmen, transfer stu dents, and men from undergradu ate centers who are interested in wrestling to report to Rec Hall as soon as possible for workouts.

N. Orangeme Co-captain Egli Returns to Lineup Penn State's basketball team, which has won four and lost one during the current cage campaign, will make its first 1943 appearance in Rec Hall tonight when it meets a strengthened Syracuse court five at 8 p. m. Co-captain Johnnie Egli, injured for the last two contests, will re turn to the starting lineup. This will mean that the team which started the season will again be the opening combination for the Lawthermen. At the forward positions will be dependable Larry Gent and Whitey Von Nieda, who is at the present leading the Lion scoring with 45 points for the season. At the center spot and pivot position will be rangy six foot, five inch Dave Hornstein. Co_eap tains Herk Baltimore and Engli will be at the back court positions. Two substitutes, .who saw much action in the Temple tilt and will probably be called on by Coach John Lawther, are Jack Biery and Jimmy Lawther. In the Orangemen, the Lions will face their toughest opposi tion on the Rec. Hall floor this sea son. The Orangemen were slow to start this winter, but have come along fast and should be in top form for tonight's tussle. Coached by Lew Andreas, who is in his nineteenth year of bask-; etball at Syracuse, the Orangemen lost three of their initial qUartet of tilts. They came back strong against Niagara last Saturday and will be a definite threat to the Lion's 16-game Rec Hall winning streak. PAGE THREW
