Fornicola at 130 The latter matman, who will oppose Navy’s 167-pounder, is a •transfer from Wilkes College, Wilkes-Barre, Pa. Last year, he was ineligible because of the transfer ruling.

In his only two outings last year he wrestled to a draw in his initial match against Lehigh and regis tered a win against Pitt. Speidel Wrestles Too Although the Middies have al ways been a strong power in wrestling circles, they will not only face the two newcomers and Penn State’s unbeaten “quintet” but a “silent partner” in the ever colorful Speidel. The unpinned quintet is comprised of Co-cap tains Joe Lemyre and Don Frey, Jerry Maurey, Doug Frey, and Bob Homan. Speidel, who is always seated with his boys at the sidelines, par ticipates in the matches by going through the movements and struggle that his grapplers en deavor to accomplish. In fact, Hud Samson’s father called the attention of the report ers during the Lehigh meet and exclaimed: “Look! Speidel even wrestles.” Frosh Tie Seniors, 31-31 The freshmen tied the sen iors 31-31 last night in one of the most tense and exciting games to be played in wom en’s interclass basketball this week.

Last season the gym Lions tromped Navy at Rec Hall, 58-38, with Jan Cronstedt turning in wins on the horizontal bar and the parallel bars. Navy, this year, according to Wettstone, has team balance, plenty of depth, and a good all around performer in Hal Lewis. The adept Mr. Lewis fractured his leg the week before the State match last season and was out for the remainder of the season. In 1951 Lewis picked up two Eastern titles in the flying rings and the horizontal bara n d - a NAAU championship on H-bar. This season will be the Middie triple-threat man’s last in inter collegiate competition. Four Men Vying : Of the six events, as prescribed in Eastern rules, Wettstone has named the~possible top three men in three of them, while the other three events will remain a toss up as the squad goes into its final week of practice. The horizontal bar, side horse, and flying ring positions are al most down pat, but the tumbling, parallel bars, and rope-climbirig events each have four men after three starting jobs. Performing on the H-bar will be Cronstedt, Mario Todaro, and Karl Schwenzfier; on the side horse, Bobby Lawrence, second in the Easterns last year, Tony Procopio, and Frank Wick; on the Michigan State Tough Encounter for Mittmen Michigan State’s unbeaten boxing team forms an ex tremely rough roadblock in the path of Penn State mittnien seeking number one tomorrow in East Lansing, Mich.
