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

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.

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.
