State a close second. For his
scoring as wel as defensive work,
Nick Bolkovac of Pittsburg
gained a second-team berth, and
Hal Vogler rounded out the top
four tack es on the Nittany all
opponent squads.
Noticeable by their absence
were gridders from West Virgin
ia and Bueknell, while Temple
could scrape only one honorable
mention from the grid selections.
MePeak, Skladany and Pitt’s
guard, Bernie Barkouskie, who
were named to the Nittany all
opponent second team last sea
son, repeated on this year’s Lion
se ections.
Michigan State’s line polled the
greatest number of votes with
everyone except one end landing
on either the first or second team.
Voting was light this year since
some of the Nittany gridders
could not be contacted because of
practice teaching duties.

Penn State’s basketball hopes received an unexpected boost
last night with the appearance of Milt Simon, injured ace of last
year’s Lion varsity, who took part in his first practice scrimmage on
the Rec Hall court yesterday.
Coach John Lawther put his charges through a grueling ses

Guatemala Trip Cancelled
has been cancelled due to “unforeseen circumstances,” announced
Harold R. Gilbert, graduate manager of athletics, yesterday.
Two Weeks ago, A. J. Simpson, an alumnus of the College and
ex-Lion lacrosse player, had extended a “feeler” to Bill Jeffrey,
Lion soccer mentor, inviting him to bring his hooters to the Pan
American soccer tournament
scheduled for Guatemala during
the Christmas holidays.
Five exhibition games had been
planned for the Penn State soc
cermen but in a letter to Jeffrey
Simpson stated that the tourna
ment had been cancelled and that
no foreign teams would be in-

Although he is slowed down to

the team a big lift. The top-heavy

American U. and Georgetown, in
Washington, D.C., next Tuesday
and Wednesday, plus a Saturday
tilt with Washington and Jeffer

INVALUABLE
Described by Lawther as an
invaluable moral-lifter, Simon is
slated to see some sub activity
because of Lawther’s urgent need
of capable reserves. The blond
playmaker had not even attempt
ed to run before last evening and
is not expected to be in tip-top
shape before January.
Lawther Appeared optimistic of
his team’s chances after viewing

ents, saying, “If we keep up the
wonderful fighting spirit we ex
hibited last Saturday, we’ll be a
tough club * ' lick any night.”
The Nittany mentor believes'
that the extent of the team’s
progress depends a lot on the im
provement of Will Parkhill’s and
Carl Nordblom’s play.
