the 47th annual EIWA champion

wrestling mats will take up most
of the floor space on Friday. Tim
ers, scorers, and the press will be
placed at a table with rows of,
chairs stretching the entire length
of the floor.
There will be 'no • radio broad
cast of the matches, but there is
a possibility that some matches,
probably the finals, will be filmed
and televised :later.
Bus Service
Penn State will provide a shut
tle-bus service for visiting teams
to and from Rec hall to the Nit
tany - Pollock dorm area where
the visiting teams will be housed.
The buses will make trips every
15 minutes.
Of the teams entered, only Perxn
State will field an undefeated
team. The Lions ended their sea
son Saturday with a 20-6 victory
over Cornell and became the
first Penn State team since 1936
to end the dual meet season with
out a defeat.
Three other teams, Brown, Le
high,, and Rutgers will come into
the tourney with' only one loss.
Brown has won eight times, Le
high nine, and Rutgers seven.
Syractise In Running
Despite the fact that - defending
EIWA champion Syractise ha s
only a mediocre 3-4 record for the
season, most sources refuse to
count them out of the running.
In addition' to Syracuse and Penn
State, Lehigh, beaten by State in
th e first match of the season,
Brown and Rutgers are consid
ered the top choices for the
crown.
Lion mat Coach Charlie Spei

Rutgers as the "dark horse" of
the meet. Rutgers' lone Eastern
champ, Emil Perona, 167, wa s
beaten this season by Don Thom
as, Navy's candidate for title
honors.
Speidel will renew his long
time rivalry with Lehigh Coach
Billy Sheridan, who has been at
the helm of the Engineers for 39
years. Speidel has led the Lion
mat fortunes for the last 25 y virs.
Sheridan is now in Buenos Aires
with the Pan American wrestling
team and will return in time for
the tournament.
Lehigh and the Big Red of Cor
nell lead the 16 teams in the num

Valentino Set

him first place in the next day's
meet and eliminated any chance
of his traning for the Eastern
tourney. He won it anyway, bind
ing the wrist tightly and favoring
it throughout his routines.
Unfortunately the wrist could
not be brought around in time for
the Nationals and he had to forego
the tournament until this year.
Speaking of next week's East
erns, Valentino said that he tires
himself out practicing before a
meet. So he will go into competi
tion "cold"—without any practice.
Well, at least there have been
no fire-hydrants this year. Not
yet!
Council To Repair
N. Atherton Street
State College Borough council
Monday night adopted a resolu
tion to have the Department of
Highways widen and improve N.
Atherton street.
Final improvement plans are
not completed yet but will be
subject to council review when
finished. George E. Nagele, dis
trict engineer, said complete plans
would be ready soon, and that
the project would probably be
started this year.
Council took this action to wid
en the highway after a request
by College Heights school par
ents that steps be made for the
safety of the children in that
area.
