PAGE SIX Matmen Open Home Card With Virginia Tomorrow Virginia University's wrestlers are due to arrive here this afternoon for a Rec Hall workout in final preparation for their match with the once-victorious Lions at 8 p.m. tomorrow As yet untested, the Cavaliers ; squad should have at leas I five and possibly six veteran letterwinners on the mats The granddaddy ca. the Virginia squad is George Morse. Three times a letterman, Morse will be a tough foe in the 123 pound class for either State's Bob Ho man or John Croft. Last year Morse pinned State's Johnny Reese in 2:21 of the first period. Slingluff at 137 At 130 pounds Virginia will probably start a first year man, Pete Thomas, against probable State starter Dick Lemyre. Craig Slingluff, letterman, will probably go for Virginia at 137 pounds against either Captain Don Maurey or frosh Larry Forn icola. Last year Maurey pinned Slingluff in 1:30 seconds. Captain Joe Wood, two time letterman, will handle the 147 pound assignment for the South erns with his opponent likely to be Don Frey. Last year Wood was pinned by State's Joe Lem yre in 2:21, at a higher weight. May Drop Another tw o - time letterman, Carr Dorman will wrestle for Virginia at 157. His Nittany foe will be Doug Frey, Bill Shawley, Ray Markle or John Maurey. Meb Turner, decisioned by Mike Rubino 10-2 last year in the 177 pound class, may drop down to 167 today. He will likely run into veteran Joe Lemyre. Going at 177 for Virginia will probably be Bob Biggar. A first year man, Biggar will have to face Hud Samson, Harold Cham berlain or Dick McFeeley. 8-3 Record Heavyweight class for the Vir ginians should find either Stu Harris or Jack Clarkson getting the call. Both are letterwinners:' A year ago Clarkson was pinned by Homer Barr in 1:50 seconds. Lynn Illingworth or Dick Cripps should be State's entry. The Cavaliers, coached by Frank Finger, former Syracuse wrestling star during the 1930'5, came up with an 8-3 record last fall. State beat them, 28-8. Navy won 24-6 and . Hofstra, 28-8. The Cavaliers defeated West Virginia, Washington & Lee, Da vidson, VMI, Johns Hopkins, Gal laudet, Kings Point, and Virginia Tech. THE DAILY COLLEGIAN, STATE COLLEGE, PENNStLYANIA. Rubino, Barr On Speidel's 25 Year Team The 1951 Penn State wrestling team was not only unique in pro ducing an Eastern Collegiate championship and unbeaten dual meet season, but has the distinc tion of being the only squad with two men on Coach Charlie Spei del's all-time Nittany mat team: In a recent selection of his "bests" during the past 25 seasons as head coach at State, Speidel chose both Homer Barr and Mike Rubino from last year's squad as his all-time State heavyweight and 177 pound wrestlers. Barr, twice EIWA heavyweight champion and Lion captain last year, is now coaching in the War ren public school system. Rubino, of Dormont, won the EIWA 177 pound championship last March. Another of Speidel's choices for his "all" team is Jim Maurey, brother of present captain, Don Maurey. Jim was captain of the 1950 Nittany team •and won the 147 pound Eastern championship the same year to rate Speidel's choice for 147. Former assistant coach to Spei del and one of the only two three time Eastern champions, Charlie Ridenour got Speidel's choice at 121 pounds. Ridenour, '43, is now head coach of Pennsylvania's wrestlers. Other Speidel choices are Sam Harry, '46, at 130; Dr. Jack Light, '46, at 137; Paul Campbell, '3O, at 157; and Howard Johnston, '35, at 167. BULLETIN Pitt defeated Syracuse 7249 last night in one of the biggest cage upsets of the season. The loss knocked the Orangemen out of the unbeaten ranks and gave them a 6-1 season record.

NCAA Meetings Become Grid Coach Market CINCINNATI, Jan. 9 -4/0— The National Collegiate Athletic Association convention became a shopping center for head football coaches today; and four big job vacancies may be, filled before the week is ended. Indiana, Pittsburgh, Washing ton State and Arizona are among those with representatives here looking for brain talent for 1952. Lobby rumors are that Bernie Crimmins, top Notre Dame aide, will wind up as head man at In diana and Lowell (Red) Dawson, Michigan State assistant, will land at Pittsburgh. • Clyde Smith resigned- at In diana in the middle of the tur bulent 1951 season but finished the campaign. Tom Hamilton, ath letic director, coached Pittsburgh pending selection of a permanent coach. Paul (Pooch) Harrell, Indiana athletic director, said he hoped to fill the Hoosier vacancy this week, but declined to disclose who has the inside track for the post. In addition to Crimmins, there is strong support fo r James Trimble, an Indiana grad now assistant with the Philadelphia professional Eagles, and Lou Sa ban, coach at Case Institute. GALA Friday State College Sunoco College and Pine Grand Prize -- 50 Gallons Gasoline Second Prize—Table Model Radio You do not have to attend the drawing at 11:01 p.m. to win a prize , EVERYONE ELIGIBLE • NO PURCHASE NECESSARY Trials Leave Relay Positions in Doubt Results of yesterday afternoon's time trials failed to indicate who would be the four starters in the two-mile relay for Penn State in the Washington Evening Star games Saturday night. Only Bob Roessler and veteran Jack Homer have assured themselves of positions on the foursome, as the failure of Bill Ashenfelter to return to school today from his tour of South America added a sour note to the trials. Nothing is known of how well Ashenfelter did in the two races in which he competed or how good a running condition he's in. If he has lost some of the edge which . he- displayed in early season trials, he will prob ably have to move up to the two-mile invitation race in which he was a possible but doubtful starter, Presuming that Ash does run with the relayers, there still re mains one berth to be filled, and three tenths of a second is the margin separating the three men competing for that spot. They are veterans Dave Pierson and Bob Gehman, and freshman Don Aus tin. Assistant Coach Norm Gordon is faced with the problem of making the selections since Coach Chic Werner is in Cincinnati at tending a conference of the Am erican Olympic committee, and will not return to State College until departure time of the team on Friday. How the baton passers fare in this meet and next Saturday's Philadelphia Inquirer meet will determine to what extent they will compete in tremaining indoor games, as these meets are usually invitational affairs. at the OPENING and Saturday, Jan. 11 and 12 JACK WIMMER'S 50 FREE LUBRICATIONS 10 FREE CAR WASHES ORCHIDS for the COEDS PENS for the MEN THURSDAY, JANUARY ,10, 1952 Orange Ranked 14th in Nation (Continued from page ort.e) ' standing offensive thr eat in Bucky .
