Lion Coach Galbraith has a strong squad of outstanding fresh men this year. In addition, the team is well-stocked with good reserves, who in past years prob ably would have started in most contests. If the Lion swimmers take an early lead in this afternoon's duel, Galbraith plans to use as. many men as possible. Otherwise, he will . blay safe and use Wesner and Knoll for both the 220 and 440. To capture the diving contest - the Lions' coach is counting on Rocky Young, 1942 National In terscholastic Champion, and Mic key. Beecket, 1942 Eastern AAU Lowboard Diving Champ.

THE DAILY COLLEGIAN From past performances, the four Panther cagers pictured above are sure to give the Lawthermen a battle tonight on the Pittsburgh court. The Lions defeated Pitt twice last year and hope for another win, but the Panther squad is stronger this year, having beaten •Carnegie Tech and West Virginia in their last two engagements. Coach Paul Campbell's' wrest ling squad meets the University of Syracuse at Syracuse this af ternoon in its initial match of the year, and according to Coach Campbell, "—the boys should come through with their first win." With four returning mat veter ans grappling for Penn State against a lone Syracuse letterman, Norm Wiedersum, 145-pound Orange standout, the Lions are hoping to make the most of their opponents handicap and build up a score early in the match. Opposing Wieredsum will.be Al Crabtree, one of "the four," who is out to add additional honors to last year's fine mat record. . Starting positions • are as fol lows: Mattern Ridenour Harry ..

Lawther, g PAGE THR Grey, Richards Only Experienced Boxers At the sound of the bell it will be—the beginning of Leo Houck's twenty-first season as mentor of the Lions boxing squad and the official start of the 1943 boxing season. In the one corner will be West. ern Maryland guided by Harry Jaffra, bantam-weight champ of few seasons ago, who has two vet- . erans from last season; John Al.!. exander, 127-pound class, and Charles Godwin, a 155-pounder. t Six ,of Jaffra's men are untried. In the other corner, Leo Houck will have the support of two re turning veterans and two men who have come up from the 1942 frost' squad. Starting for the Lions tonight at eight o'clock is Jackie Grey in the 121-pound class. At 127 Glenn: Hawthorne Will go into the squar ed ring. Hawthorne fought at the same weight on the freshman octet. William Shabacker is the 135-pound starter. Earnie George wears the Blue and White at 145. Sophomore Jackie Tighe has been moved from the 145-pound class to battle it out in the 155-pound division. ' Captain Billy Richards, who weighed in at 153 last night will have a 12-pound handicap when he squares off with Carlton Men dell in the 165-pound featiire. Orient Martella, sadly 'out lof condition, but the possessor of a powerful left, will fight at 175. In the unlimited. class Frank 'Hawrylak, also an inexperienced man, dons the leather mitts for Penn State. While Leo Houck released these names ,as tonight's starting line tpp, he stressed the fact that their were by no means final choices. On the contrary, Houck is rather dissatisfied with the present line . - up. Should any of the other can didates prove to be . s t r onger during the coming weeks they will get their chance in varsity com petition. For this reason, Houck suggests that it still isn't too late to come out for- the team. Lacking competent reserves, Houck is anxious to keep as many men out for the - squad as possible. He would also like to have men: come out who would enjoy box ing. For the Terrapins Jimmy Green', a newcomer, will fight Grey at 121. Johnny Alexander has mov ed up' from the 121-pound class, in which he fought last year, and will mix it up with Hawthorne at 127. . •Other starters for the University of Western IVlaryland include: Frank Faughman, 135; Howard Hall, 145; Charles Godwin, 155; Carlton Mendell, 165; George Nor. man, 175, and Henry Ferris, un• limited class.
