PAGE SIX atmen Set for Seas n •penes Lions Will Try for 12th Straight . Win at. Lehigh Tomorrow Night Penn State opens its 42nd year of intercollegiate wrest ling tomorrow night against one of its 'keenest rivals over the years and perenially one of the East's wrestling powers, Lehigh University, in Bethlehem, Pa. The match is listed for 8:30 p.m. Coach Charlie Speidel's Lions with only three men with previous varsity competition in the eight-man lineup can best be tabbed as inexperienced. " Compared with the Lions' un tested team and largely inexper ienced wrestlers, the Engineers already have scored two victories this season. Five Missing Lehigh downed Cornell 20-10 in their mid-December opener and last weekend triumphed over Pitt, and West Chester STC, 26-13-17 in the Wilkes-Barre YMCA tourney. Missing' tomorrow from the Lions EIWA championship squad are five wrestling standouts who were largely responsible for State's unbeaten dual season (8-0) last fall which stretched the Lions' unbeaten dual streak to 11 since 1950. Tops on the list of missing stars is Homer Barr, who became the hero of Rec Hall wrestling fans by virtue of two straight BIWA heavyweight titles and remained so even though he was "only" runnerup in both the EIWA's and the Nationals last year. Filipos Gone Others seriously missed from last winter's squad are Eastern 177-pound champion Mike Ru bino . (6-2); lettermen Johnny Reese at 123 pounds (1-2-1); Jack Dreibelbis at 130 pounds (2-2); and Rusty Santel, 157-pounder (7-1). • Lehigh on the other hand loses its 1951 co-captain and mainstay, Mike Filipos, who led the team to a 9-1 season win record and an EIWA runnerup spot to, the champion Lions. State put the only mar on Lehigh's dual season record with a 22-6 win. Filipos was unbeaten in 10 dual meets and then went on to win the 123-Ib. Eastern Intercollegiate championship. • Lemyre 'at 130 Speidel's lead-off man at 123 pounds tomorrow night is Bob Homan. At 130 pounds Dick Lemyre gets the call. Though a sopho- More, Dick has already gained some success. He won the Pan- American games bantamweight championship last March. Captain Don Maurey or fresh man Larry Fornicola will wres tle at 137 pounds. Don was East ern 137-pound champ last year and Larry at Bellefonte High was the outstanding wrestler of his district. Sampson at 177 Brothers Don and Doug Frey will handle the middleweights of 147 and 157. Last year Don was unbeaten in eight dual meets —four by pins—and took runner up honors in both the Easterns and Nationals. Brother Doug is an untried soph. Veteran with a 7-1 record in 1951, Joe Lemyre, wrestling at 167 pounds, gives the Lions its second brother combination. Hu d Sampson was the 177 pound spot. .As a junior, Hud also must be classed as ,inexper ienced. In th e heavyweight division, Lynn Illingworth, a senior, long in the shadow of Homer, gets his chance.

Tourney Two freshmen, Ronnie Weiden hammer and Jesse ^ Arnelle, sparked Penn State's basketball team to the first annual Steel B o w 1 tournament championship in Pittsburgh, • Dec. 27-28, but it was team balance which was the deciding factor.

The Wolverines did some phenomenal shooting and jumped to an 18-5 lead early in the . game. - At the end of three quarters it was tied at 48-48.
