PAGE SIX Lions Wrestle Virginia Tonight Penn State Mat men Will Try For 13th Straight Dual Victory Penn State’s Eastern Intercollegiate Championship wrestling team goes on review for home fans for the first time this season when it faces Virginia University at 8 tonight in Rec Hall. Winners over Lehigh by the margin of 20-5 in last week’s opener, the Lions are heavy favorites to extend their season suc- Returns to Lineup Don Maurey Coleman, Merriman Get Call NEW YORK, Jan. 10 —(iP)—• Baseball, still feeling the shock of Ted Williams’ call-up, received a couple more jolts today with the news that the Marine Air Corps also has recalled infielder Gerry Coleman of the New York Yan kees and outfielder Lloyd Merri man of the Cincinnati Reds to active duty. , Like Williams, $lOO,OOO-plus beauty of the Boston Red Sox, Coleman and Merriman have been ordered to report April 2 for phy sical examinations. If found fit all three will go on active duty .May 2 for at least 17 months. Owners Fret Down in Montgomery, Ala., Willie Mays, rookie outfield sen sation of the New York Giants, was ordered to report for another test on Jan. 16. Willie failed to pass his mental aptitude test on his first try last October. Club owners began to scan their player rosters and fret. Few big league teams but have a key player or two who is a reserve officer from World War 11. If they were in the Navy or Marines their prospects of being recalled soon appear brighter than if they were in the Army. Kiner Navy Pilot Outfielder Bob Kennedy of the Cleveland Indians, who taught Williams how to fly at Pensacola, expects to hear from the Marine Air Corps any time now. He’s a first lieutenant. A 1 Rosen, the club’s star third-baseman, was a deck officer in the Navy. Captain A 1 Dark of the Giants was an officer in the Marines. Ralph Kiner. Pittsburgh’s home run clouter, was a Navy pilot. So was pitcher Joe Coleman of the Philadelphia Athletics. That is just a small sampling, sufficient to give some idea of what might lie ahead. The draft will, of course, continue to make heavy inroads on the younger talent. Big Loss Under the present national emergency, all the armed services can recall any reserve office to active duty if he is physically qualified. This takes in every man who held a commission in World War 11.. Today’s two call-ups, Coleman and Merriman, scarcely rank with Williams in value to their , respec tive clubs, but their loss will be felt By JAKE HIGHTON cesses to two straight and to 13 consecutive dual meet victories since 1950. The Cavaliers are making their first start of the year, but last season won eight times while losing only three. Of those three losses, State administered one of them, 28-8, when Charlie Spei del’s grapplers cut loose with five Jail wins out of six winning bouts. Untried Opposition Captain Don Maurey returns to the Lion lineup tonight as the only change from the team which took six decisions and a draw from Lehigh. In elimination bouts during the week, Maurey beat out teammate Larry Fornicola who last week gained a 2-2 draw as State’s 137 pound starter. EIWA 137 pound champ last year, Maurey goes against an untried Wally Wil liams, a first year man. Three Lettermen Dr. Frank Finger’s Virginia matmen team arrived yesterday minus a strong ri'ght arm in the person of three-year ietterman George Morse. The veteran 123 pounder stayed at home with a bum knee. Penn State Hainan D/Lemyre 130 Bowden D. Maurey (capt.)l37 Williams Bon Frey 147 Dorman Dong Frey 157 Wood (capt.) J. Lemyre 167 Biggar Samson 177 Turner Illingworth Hwt. Clarkson (starting 1 time 8 p.m.) Without Morse, the Cavalier’s eight-man array will have three lettermen. One of them, football player Jack Clarkson, will be Lynn Illingworth’s heavyweight opposition. Lynn successfully started his job of replacing Homer Barr with a decisive 9-4 win last week. Beal Feuerbach Virginia’s two other lettermen, Captain Joe Wood (157) and Carr Dorman (147), will wrestle State’s rugged brother combination Don Frey, at 147 pounds, and Doug Frey, at 157 pounds. Don remained unbeaten in nine dual meet competition bouts by decisioning Lehigh’s EIWA champ George Feuerbach last week. Brother Doug, despite a 5-4 point loss at Lehigh, looked good and he could rebound tonight. Homan at 123 Another Nittany brother act, Joe and Dick Lemyre will be after wins to repeat last week’s decisions. Rugged veteran Joe, 5-1 winner last week, meets Vir ginia’s Bob Biggar, at 167 pounds. Joe’s speedy soph brother, 6-1 winner last week, will meet Vir ginia’s Stewart Bowden in the 130 pound class. Nittany frosh Bob Homan, Wan tagh, N.Y., 123 pounder, will be out for his second win after his 4-0 initial varsity triumph last week. With Morse out, Bob will meet a first year man, Pete Thomas at 123. Also victorious in his , varsity debut last week by a clear-cut 9-2 decision, State’s Hud Samson grapples Cavalier Meb Turner at 177 pounds.Biggar is in his .first varsity season. Bob FelSer Signs Indian Contract CLEVELAND. .Jan. 10—(ff)— Bob Feller got a pay raise today and wondered if earning some $55,000 from the Cleveland In dians in 1952 might not be easier with Joe DiMaggio and Ted Wil liams gone. “I hate to see those fellows dropping out,” Feller said at his annual contract-signing ceremony —his 14th. “Ted-always hit me pretty good, but DiMaggio and (Tommy) Henrich were. even tougher." * THE DAILY COLLEGIAN, STATE COLLEGE, PENNSYLVANIA Lineups: Virginia Thomas The Lions now have a 6-1 sea son record and will meet Carnegie Tech in Rec Hall tomorrow night.

Sam Pennepacker led the SPS club, which trailed by three points at halftime, 25-22, with 17 points. “Mack” hit for 16 for the losers. Cogers- (Continued, from vage one) overcame the Lions’ lead and knotted the score at 9-9. The Orange took the lead at the end of the quarter, 17-14. Miller, the elongated center, got his fourth personal foul in the middle of the second quarter and left the contest. His loss hurt the visitors’ offensive tactics and the score see-sawed back and forth. The score was tied at 21-21, 26-26, and 28-28. Arnelle sparked State’s third quarter drive and the Lions slow ly pulled away. Piorkowski made a beautiful underhand snot to give the Blue and White a 37-33 margin and they were' never headed after that. THfe game became rough and was marred by many fouls in the final stages. Several players lost their tempers and fights threatened. The Lions led 46-39 at the end of the third quarter.

On the basis of Wednesday’s time trials, it will be seniors Bill Polito and John I'-.-.er, and sophs Bill Kilmer and Ollie Sax carry ing the baton in the one-mile relay. Their opposition will prob ably come from Villanova, Georgetown, and the Seton Hall quartet, which just beat out' State for first place in last year’s Eve ning Star race. May Meet Attesley Georgetown, which has one of the nations’s best two-mile relay teams, • will head the opposition which include Yale and Villa nova. Last year the State team finished fourth in this event. Untested sophomore Ed Snod grass and freshman Lew Wad dlington may find themselves in the company of world record holder Dick Attesley in the 40- yard high hurdles race. Jim Herb, last year’s co-winner in the high jump, will be out for a repeat triumph, and Dan Lorch will at tempt to best his 13-foot mark in the pole-vault. . Another Meet The feature race of the evening will pit NCAA winner Warren Dreutzler, and Wisconsin’s for mer NCAA champ, Don Gerhman, in the mile run. Warren’s 4:08 effort for Michigan State in the nationals last spring is better than Gerham’s fastest official butdoor clocking. But Don is king of the indoor milers and will probably be the pre-race favorite. Detracting from the importance of the Evening, Star games, will be another indoor meet being held in New York at the same time. Most of the club and college teams in , the East and New Eng land will send representatives there. Fred Wilt, runner-up to Bill Ashenfelter in the Middle Atlantic Cross-Country Champ ionships. will be the featured starter in' that invitation one mile run. Wilt, incidentally, was the last man to beat Don Gerh man indoors. Bill Jeffrey, veteran Penn State soccer coach, likens each player on his team to a quarterback in football. FRIDAY, JANUARY 11, 1952 Russia May Enter Winter Olympics MOSCOWi Jan. 10—()P)—Wide spread newspaper attention to the winter Olympic ■ games plus announcements of Russian. ac complishments in the Soviets’ own big winter sports competi tions indicated to observers to day that Russia may make a be lated entry into the Olympics at Oslo. Russian athletes claimed two world speed skating records bet tered. and one equalled in the, big all-union tournament at Al-’ ma Ata in Kazakhistan. The marks were :41.7 for 500 meters, 1:26.4 for 1000 meters, and 2:13.8 for 1500 meters, the first two being below accepted world stan dards while the 1500 meter time equals the best ever made. . , According to word from Hel sinki, Russia has formally en tered the summer Olympic games, but so far on the winter games at Oslo, Feb. 14-25, there has been no announcement here,, either that the Russians will not take part or that they will. The deadline for entry into the Oslo games was Dec. 31, but the Norwegian organizing committee said that any country that offers a- satisfactory explantion could still apply, and since the first of - the year both Chile and Israel have been- accepted. It would not be surprising if the Russians very shortly indi cated they may send a team, or at least several participants, to the Norwegian capital, which is only , one : day or at most, two by airplane from Moscow. !
