FRIDAY. JANUARY 16. 194 R Lawthermen Set for Tangle With Lowly-Touted Tartans After two days of comparative rest following its grueling 50-46 upset over West Virginia, the Nittany cagers will travel to Pittsburgh to tangle with the Skibos of Carnegie Tech. Even though the Smoky City team has a very weak two win and five loss record, the Blue and White will have to work hard to get back to pre-West Virginia form. The inevitable let-down after Wednesday's close battle may affect the Lawthermen’s ac curacy, but the tall coach hopes to have the team in top condition for Saturday’s fray. Opening their season with a 54-46 decision over Grove City, the Tech team hit the skids by dropping a ten point, 45-55, de cision to Westminster. Washing Sports—Coast to Coast By George Vedasz Scrapping their system of em ploying an active officer as head football coach, the United States Naval Academy . at Annapolis started negotiations for a civilian football coach. Captain Tom Hamilton, the present coach, was promoted to the post of director of athletics. West Virginia University is also having its coaching problems. The Mountaineers' are still seek ing a successor to Coach Bill Kern. The athletic council of the Morgantown institution has in terviewed prospective candidates and the field has now limited down to Howie Odell of Yale and John Brickels of the professional Cleveland Browns. Football At the annual football banquet honoring the undefated Fighting Irish footballers, Coach Leahy’s charges received the Henry Wil liams Trophy, which is presented annually to the national champion grid eleven. The trophy was awarded to Notre Dame on the basis of the AP poll of sports writers conducted at the close of the regular football season De cember 8. After Michigan's rout of South ern California the AP sport cast ers again took a poll and the Fighting Irish were ousted from the No. 1 spot. Commenting on this, the Rev. John Murphy, chairman of the faculty board in control of ath-‘ letics, said, “I am sure that you and I and millions of other foot ball fans have no reason to dis agree with the AP poll at the end of the regular season which has come to be accepted. And I am sure that all of us believe, when ever possi b le . championships should be won on the field.” (Notre Dame last season chal lenged Michigan to a gridiron meeting “any season, any place.”) Due to scheduling difficulties the University of Michigan will not be able to meet Penn next year. The tentative date which was set for the contest interferes with the annual Michigan- Michigan State tussle. SMU and the Nittany Lions will have a common foe next grid season. The Ponies open their ten game slate against the Pitt Panther at Pittsburgh on September 25.

Leading the nation’s hoopsters are two teams from Pennsylvania, Du quesne and LaSalle. Both these teams boast 11 victories without a single setback. * Rhode Island, a court power which sports seven straight vic tories, will lay its perfect record on the line when it meets Temple on Saturday. The Rams boast the nation’s top collegiate scorer in Dick Hole, a six-footer, who post ed his 1000th marker over a three-year period last week and has his eyes set for the 1868 point total set by Rhode Island State’s Ernie Calverly for a four-year period in 1945. North Carolina (13-0), New York University (9-0), Columbia (9-0), and Fordham (6-0), are the other major teams who boast perfect records. N.Y.U. and North Carolina meet at the Garden this week, thus eliminating an other perfect team, as will next week’s clash between Fordham and Columbia. LaSalle will go after its 12tji straight of the season when they meet Georgetown. The Hoyas, rated earlier as one of the na tion’s top teams after a brilliant string of six victories, started to skid badly when Coach Ripley dismissed Andy Kostecka, key man of the Hoyas offense. Duquesne, a recent winner over St. Francis College, has no major obstacle directly ahead. The Dukes, after meeting top fives from both the West and East coast, are now hitting the breath ers on their schedule. Major casualties of the week were West Virginia. George Washington and Kansas State. The Mountaineers sported an 8-0 record before losing 58-53 to Manhattan and 50-46 to Penn State.

Georgie Schautz, who defeated A 1 Vigilante in the eliminations this week, will wrestle in the 121 pound class against Army. Vigi lante will wrestle that weight for the iayvees. Schautz lost a close decision to Princeton’s Tad Hall in State’s opening meet. Jim Maurey. who put on a bril liant performance in the Prince ton meet, will be at 145 pounds. The 145 pound slot for the jayvee match is still in douibt. AJaurey. former State champion from Clearfield, had little trouble with his Princeton opponent, winning by a fall in the’ third period.

Cryder Mattern and Harry Smith, both State College boys, are vying for the right to represent State at 126 pounds. Jim Mohney, 128 pound EIWA winner in 1947, and Don Ar buckle, who wrestled in the Princeton meet, are fighting for the 136 pound berth. Bob Hetrick and Earl Long are still in line for the 165 pound class. Hetrick came through in good style against Princeton, win ning hi s match decisively. The 175 pound starter will be either Spider Corman or Warren Conrad. Corman came through in the last twenty-five seconds to best Matt Atkinson of Princeton last Saturday.
