PAGE STX Patched-Up Grapplers To Wrestle Temple Philadelphia, the city of brotherly love, is the scene of tomor row's Penn State-Temple wrestling duel. The Lions, seeking their fourth win in six starts, go against one of the EIWA's weaker mat combinations. The Owls have won but two of six dual meets this season against second-drawer competi tion. However, Coach Charlie j'Speidel contemplates no picnic for his charges when they tangle with the Cherry and White. CHANGE One change is planned in the Nittany roster by Speidel. Kryd er Mattern, who has wrestled for the Jayvees, will replace unde feated Jack Dreibelbis at 128 pounds. It will be Mattern's first taste of varsity competition. The rest of the lineup for the clash with the Owls will be the same as the team that was edged by Lehigh. Captain George Schautz goes after his initial win when he clashes with Jim Junta in the 121- pound class, while Mattern will face Jim Vovakes. Don Dunn of Temple serves as the opposition for 136-pound Don Arbuckle, also vying for his first victory, and Larry Shallcross meets the Owls' John Erb in the 145-pound division. Erb owns the best Temple mat record with four wins and a loss. SANTEL Bill "Rusty" Santel, who tied Lehigh's high-flying Eric Erikson last Saturday, will be at the 155- pound position, and Bob Hetrick, 165-pounder, will be at his usual post. Bob Markle is the likely 175- pounder, but Bill Corman may yet receive the signal from Spei del. Unbeaten Homer Barr, win ner of five straight, takes on Tem ple's John Donahue in the eve ning's finale.

By winning again, Sigma Nu can take the champion ship next Thursday night. CHI PHI Chi Phi hung desperately to the last vestiges of hope Wednesday, fashioning a defense that held the winners to a 4-2 count in the first half, but Smidansky's stellar per formance turned the tables for the victory in the last ten minutes. In league "C," Sigma Pi forgot formality and sentiments to plast er a 53-4 drubbing on listless Aca cia. Jack Riordan, with 16 mark ers, Ray Williams, 10, and Jack Lammey, 12, whipped Acacia senseless with classy floorwork. The win means championship in league "C" for Sigma Pi.

First Dual Meet Penn State and the University of Pennsylvania engagOd in the East's first intercollegiate boxing meet at Philadelphia in 1919. 140 S. Pugh St. FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 18, 11149 Gehrdes Meets 1948 Champion High Hurdler Dillard Defends Indoor, Title By Elliot Krano The setting will be the same, the audience will be the same size, but there will be one factor added to Saturday's National A. A.U. indoor championships that was missing last week at the New York A.C. meet. That factor is the invincible Harrison Dillard, the defending champion of the 60-yard !ugh hurdle title. It will be up to Jim Gehrdes, Penn State's lone representative in the A.A.U. Meet, to attempt to wrest the title from the former Baldwin Wallace ace. Gehrdes. who is improving his time each week, took last week's indoor test in '7.2 seconds, just one tenth of a second shy of the world's record. In previous in door tests this season, Dillard just shaded Gehrdes, but in each race by a smaller margin. PT7 For the first tme in a national meet, the Ogden starting gate will be used. This gate, designed by Temple's track coach, Ben Ogden, works on the same principle of the starting gates in race tracks. "I don't think that the gate will affect Jim," said Nit t any Coach Chick Werner. "Jim is a steady starter, but I have seen it throw Dillard a little off his pace." When asked if he thought that Gehrdes could outrace Dillard over the hurdles, Werner said, "Dillard will be the wide favorite in Saturday's race, but Jim is get ting better every time he runs, and he may be able to turn the trick in the A.A.U. meet." ONE MAN "rm only sending one man to this meet," continued the Lion teach," because the competition will be too keen for runners in other events. In the invitational meets, it was Penn State against Villanova and one or two other mile relay teams, but Saturday there will be trial heats, semi finals, and finals all in the same day." "With our limited facilities here in Rec Hall, it's very diffi cult for a man to get into condi tion to run, say, three 1000-yard races in one day. Also out to dethrone Dillard from his 60-yard hurdle title will be Ed Dugger, Bill Mitchell and Ed Taylor. Gehrdes outdistanced these three contenders last week in Madison Square Garden, the site of tomorrow's meet. STONE Former Nittany runner and de fender of the three-mile title, Curt Stone, will have a fight on his hands in the A.A.U. meet when he meets Gaston Reiff of Belgium and Erik Ahlden of Swe den in the feature event of the evening. Reiff, the Olympic 5000 meter champion, will complete his triumphant tour of the United States with this race and judging by his previous performances, shoulci carry the distance crown back to Belgium. In last week's meet, Reiff ran the two-mile event in 8;953 to capture the event with Ahlden, Fred Wilt and Stone just behind him. Stone became the fourth American to break nine minutes I n that race, but could only place fourth behind the sterling times of the foreign runners. 121 pounds—s eCoy (LH) deciaimed Mosey, 6-4. 128 pounds—Mattel-12 (PS) deciskused flanoe, 5-3. 136 pounds—Hempisou (LH) deelakaied ' , Annecy, 2-1. 146 pounds—V uleano (LEE) Pisani Kirsch in 6:00 with a body press. 156 pounds--Silverman (PS) declaimed Mauk, 7-2. 166 pounds-0 rb a ■ (LH) decisions& Peters, 9-4. 176 pounds—Houk (LH) declaimed Ev erett, 8-2.
