Placing among the three top teams for the first time since 1943, the Lion matmen put on a spirited show in. the Eastern Intercollegi ate Wrestling Association tour ney at Princeton, N. J., Friday and Saturday. The Nittanies tal lied 28 points, while the. team fa vorite, Syracuse, piled up 32, and Lehigh scored 29. It was one of the closest team races in the his tory of the 46-year old associa tion. For the second straight year, Heavyweight Homer Barr clinch ed the title for Syracuse. The Nit tany heavy, one of the three 1949 champions to successfully defend their . titles, took an 8-4 decision from Lehigh's Gus LaSasso in the final 'bout of the two-day run off.

A west • European army using German manpower was proposed by Dr. Neal Riemer, political science instructor. The Germans would form five infantry divisions under this plan, he said, but they would not be given separate con trol and no air power or atomic bombs. "It is possible to conceive a plan of re-arming the Germans which would keep them unable to fight , themselves," Dr. Richard C. Ray mond, physics professor, told the group. Dr. Raymond also advocat ed making - the German army part of western European defenses by integrating their equipment. Dr. Walter Coutu, sociology pro fessor, warned that re-arming Germany would be an excuse for Russia to start a shooting' war. With the German general staff in control, he said, 'there would also be no chance'for the democracy we started to create. Commenting on his recent trip to Germany, Dr. R. Wallace Brew ster, discussion moderator, said he thought the Germans did not feel responsible for the war and didn't have sufficient responsibil ity to foster democracy. "You cannot arm people if you can't trust them," the political science professor concluded. The panel was sponsored by the International Relations Club and the Liberal Arts Student Council.
