This* will be the second con secutive year that Coach Elmer Gross’ Nittany Lions have com peted in a Christmas holiday tour nament. Last year, the Lions took second place in the Dixie Classic at Raleigh, N.C., finishing behind North Carolina State. Before, bowing to the Wolfpack 50-40 in the finals, the Grossmen defeated Duke, 51-48, and West Virginia, 46-41. State To Meet Champs In the East Lansing tourna ment, the Lions will compete with Ohio State, Big Ten champion last year; Princeton, last year’s Ivy League champion; and Mich igan State, the host team. State will meet Ohio State and Michigan State in the two day competition. A Big Ten ruling forbids conference members to compete against each other until the regular season begins in Jan uary. As a result, Ohio State and Michigan State will not play each other and Penn State will not play Princeton. Spartans Are Favored From pre-season reports Mich igan State will be the team to beat in the tourney. Under the guidance of a new coach, Pete Newell, former coach at San Francisco, the Spartans have eight lettermen returning from last season. The Spartans have already been mentioned as one of the nation’s top teams in the weekly AP poll. Captain Jim Snofgrass and set shot artist Gordon Stauffer, are the big guns the Lions will have to stop. But Princeton will have some thing to say about who is the top team. The Tigers have been pick ed as serious contenders in the Ivy League again this year. Although Coach Capy Cappon is without the services of George Army Heads Alt-Foe Grid Bobby Reynolds, amazing sophomore halfback from Nebraska, was the only unanimous choice for the 1950 Penn State all-oppon ent football team, but Army dominated the selections by placing four men on the first squad.
