Hockeymen Begin Season Workouts • With onlzr two games tentatively 'booked for the coming season, Coach Art Davis' ice hockey squad began their season workouts with a scrimmage last night on the new ly formed ice rink at the tennis •courts.. Faced with the problem of .transportation, Coach Davis stated last night that there was a possi bility that games with Hamilton and Franklin and Marshall could be scheduled for the near future. There is a possibility that a game can be scheduled with Franklin and Marshall for next Saturday night at Hershey Arena. At the present time though, the operators of the Arena are not sure whether or not they will re open the ice rink. The Arena has been closed since the gas ban went into effect. If the Arena can not be secured, Davis will try to schedule games for the tennis court rink.

Up to the time the Daily Col legian went to press last night, there was still no notice received from Lock Haven as to which men they will start for the team.

The yearlings and second-year members will try their best to out point the. group compoosed of ju niors and. seniors and win a berth in the initial lineup. Predicting the starters for the Navy tilt has been a difficult task for Coach Wettstone, since in each of the six events, three men of al most equal ability are aiming to break into the beginning positions. Capable freshman starters for today's event will include Bill -Bonsall, rings and tumbling; Bill Meade, former PIAA champ, tumbling; Harold Frey, another tumbler; James Clark on the side horse; and. Marvin Mangus, rope climbing. Sophomore prospects are Ray Sorenson, triple-threat man on horizontal bars, will lead the ju- Instead of marking each con testant. with a score ranging up to 300 points, the winner will be given one point which will con tribute to the team• total. Each event will see the best, second best . and third best performers competing against each other, thereby limiting a shut-out score to 18 points for the six events. On the basis of this scoring, competition will be more exact when men of nearly equal ability are matched. Team members will be limited to entering three of the six sched uel performances, while only three men can enter each event. Ties will be eliminated since three judges will make the decisions. A week after the Navy tussle will find the Lions at home play ing host to Illinois. The Army mule will entertain the Nittany Lion at West Point February 27. From there the blue and white squad moves 'to Temple for a match the following week.
