With 121 - pound Ted Aiken, 165-pound Bud Pierce, and heavyweight Tom McDer mott ready for action, the Phi Delts will boast three men fight ing in the finals. The house al ready has a team total of 56 points toward the crown. Next in line is Sigma Nu with only Bill Eggert, 175-pound stal wart, remaining, but with a total of 49 counters. Delta Upsilon starts one finalist, Vince Cava naugh, 145-pounder, and lists 43 points, just one point over Beta Theta Pi who with 42 points will send two men, Sandy Cameron, 145-pounder, and John Hull, 155- pounder, to wrestle. The Rodgers twins, Charley, 128 - pounder, and Fred, 135 pounds, hold Phi Gamma Delta's winning chances. The Phi Gams are sixth in standing with 38 markers, one point behind fifth place Sigma Alpha Epsilon who sends 128-pound John Langstaff and 165-pound Kip Sieber into action. Other fraternities with men competing for champ positions line up in team standing like this: Pi Kappa Phi, 27 points; Phi Epsilon Pi, 25 point ; Alpha Phi Delta, 24 points; Khppa Sigma, 21 points; Phi Kappa Sigma, 20 points. THRILLER Pre-match enthusiasm is bub bling over concerning the 175. pound struggle where Alpha Phi Delta's Mike Rubino meets Sigma Nu's Bill Eggert. After chalking up his first two wins by forfeit, Rubino came back furiously to cop the quarter- and semi-final bouts by falls. Eggert, last sea son's 165-pound champ, will walk on the mat with two . fall vic tories and a close 3-2 decision win under his belt.

College Ave.—Rear Plenty of Free Parking Space By Bob Kotzbauer 'Pro' Matmen Both Defiant When "Missing Link" Ritz and "Fearless Fauntleroy" Frazier clash tonight in their special pro wrestling match, feature of the IM wrestling finals at Rec Hall, plenty of fur is expected to fly, especially from the "Link's" hairy chest and "Fauntleroy's" mop like hank of hair. CONTEMPT The two gladiators will clash with no love lost, since each has revealed in recent statements that his contempt for the other knows no bounds. "Missing Link" Ritz, when asked for a prediction on tonight's bout, declared, "I'll deci mate da Lilly. Dat little perfumed punk ain't got no business nohow in da same ring wit me." Fauntleroy also expressed calm confidence in the outcome. Dis covered while manicuring his toe nails, as an assistant combed his marceled locks, Fauntleroy de fied the man whom he refers to only as "Ugh!" "If that (Ugh!) wrestler thinks he is going to defeat me, he's got another (Ugh!) think coming. I am without a doubt the most cul tured man ever to wear tights, and don't forget, Mother wore tights. He (Ugh!) doesn't have a chance." Top Man in '49 Penn State's Joe Bedenk will be a head football coach in 1949 for the first time in 25 years of coaching.

P Coach Speidel Lauds Barr's Achievements "The whole story was that Homer was an unknown quan tity," Coach Charlie Speiclel said shortly after his return to State College Monday with his heavy weight protege, Homer Barr, who illaced fourth in last weekend's NCAA wrestling tourney. "He was going into a 'tourna ment of champions' and was re garded as just another wrcstl-r," Speiclel contintird. "However, when Barr easily handled Thurman Oklahoma A & M, the local pride and joy, and then threw Fred Stoker of lowa Teachers, the crowd realized that Homer was more than that," the veteran Lion mat mentor commented. Barr, the lone igittany entry in the tournament and reigning Fast ern heavyweig' king, trampl McGraw undo 6-1 count in prelims, a threw Stoker 8:12 in the qua 2r finals. McGr third in la year's NCAP•• • meet ,and only a: few weeks ago _ _ _ _ battled Oklaho ma A & M's two- - _ time National champ, Dick Hut ton, to a draw. In the semi-finals, the Blue and White heavy lost a close 4-2 fight to Vern Gagne, Minnesota, who went on to upset Hutton for the title. Gagne, a member of the Olympic team as was Hutton, cap tured the 191-pound National crown in 1948. An Olympic first alternate, Bob Geigel of lowa, fell before Barr in the eliminations for the right to wrestle in the consolation bouts. The score was 4-0. Another Olympian, Michigan State's Bob Maldegan, third place from the State gran pier in the consolation match, gaining a 3-2 victory. Coach Speidel declared "Gagne wrestled very carefully against Homer, for he realized Barr's po tentialities. In fact, after Homer's first two triumphs, all his oppo nents were wary. "He was up against some old `heads' in the game. They held on to his ankles, and when Horn: would get rough, they would let him go. It was a wonderful chance for him to see what the future holds," Speidel said. Both Gagne and Maldegan have finished their collegiate eligi bility, but Hutton is only a junior. The latter bagged his first crown in 1947 as a freshman at the Ag gie school. "Homer was very well-liked and very popular. In fact, he had a big cheering section," Coach Speidel added.
