Maurey Loses in Mat Trials Penn State’s hopes of having two representatives on the United States’ Olympic wrestling team ended on a sour note Saturday when Jerry Maurey and Homer Barr, former Lion heavyweight now coaching the sport in War ren, were eliminated. Maurey, wrestling for the New York A.C., lost his second match of the year to Josiah Henson, Armed Forces, from Tulsa. Okla.

By EBNIE MOORE , Frank and AI Wick, Bob Kenyon, :sfeier will attempt to repeat the feat turned in by Bill Bonsall, Ray Sorenson, Bill Meade and Co., in 1948. That year Bonsall finished second in the all-around compe tition and Sorenson finished fifth. Meade finished fourth in the tumbling. To top it off, Lion Coach Gene Wettstone was named coach of the U.S. Olympic team. Favors Cronstedt Of the seven Lion entries in the two-day event which gets under way at 2 p.m. Friday, only Schwenzsfeier will be trying for the Olympic team. He will per form in the all-around compe tition. Cronstedt, Eastern all around champ, is ineligible for the U.S. Olympic team as his official residence is in Finland. State’s “Flying Finn” will compete only in the calisthenics, parallel bars, and horizontal bar. Cronstedt-was beaten only once on the horizon tal bar during the dual meet sea son. Wettstone gives Cronstedt an excellent chance of winning the calisthenics event even though the competition will include the best in the country. The State gymnast is being coached for the event by Ara Hairabedian, last year’s NAAU calisthenics champ ion. Hairabedian is passing up this year’s tourney in order to help Wettstone, who is host coach for the weekend festivities. New to Lion Trodaro will compete on the horizontal bar. He was No. 2 man for the Lions in that event this year. State’s twin gymnasts, Al and Frank Wick, will perform on the parallel bars and side-horse, respectively. The Lions’ No. 1 tumbler during the 1952 season, Bob Kenyon, will compete in that event in the NAAU tourney. Kreidler, who worked behind Kenyon on the tumbling team during the season, has entered ,the long horse event. The long horse is not an Eastern event so this will be Kreidler’s first attempt on the apparatus. paid for in AA book purchases. Co-captains Stew Sche e t z, Blue, and Joe Gratson, White, will lead their teams from the field. From the bench, Earl. Bruce, Jim O’Hora and Frank Patrick will guide the Blue team as will A 1 Michaels, Joe Paterno and Ser ver Toretti for the White eleven; Major League Results AMERICAN LEAGUE New York 5 Philadelphia 1 Washington 3 Boston 2 THE DAILY COLLEGIAN. STATE COLLEGE. PENNSYLVANIA Lacrossemen Seek First Season Win Penn State will open its home lacrosse season Thursday when it tangles with its third succes sive team from south of the Ma son-Dixon Line, Washington and Lee. The match is scheduled for 3:30 p.m. on the golf course. The Lions will be seeking their first win of the season after suc cessive away losses to Loyola of Baltimore and Navy. The game will be the first por tion of a two-game road trip for the Generals, who battle Cornell Saturday. On the, same day,. State travels to Philadelphia for a game with Penn. Washington and Lee, winner of four and loser of two this year and coached by newcomer Ben Collins, will have an edge over State in conditioning. The Gen erals have already played six games while State has- only played twice. In addition, until recently, the weather was any thing but favorable to the Lions for scrimmage sessions. Coach Nick Thiel will probably string along with the same lineup with a possible change in ..the close attack. Bob Koons might replace Dick Rostmeyer at one of the close attack positions, but creaseman Tom Goldsworthy and John (Doak) Walker will 'start. In Penn, the Nittany Lions' face a team that has dropped four games—all of them by decisive margins—but to classy teams like Princeton, RPI, Swarthmore, and Yale.
