Chester. The latter match is set
for 7 p.m.
With Lemyre wrestling, Penn
State’s problem has been solved.
However. Coach Gerald Leeman
lias had his share of troubles in
the same 137-pcund class.
He has two of the finest wrest
lers in the business in Co-captain
Jim Mahoney and Keh Faust, but
both have outgrown their weight
divisions. Last year, he alternated
the two matmen in the 130 and
137-pound classes.
“it is a terrific blow to the
team,” said Leeman, “to have ei
ther Mahoney or Faust on the
bench, but is unavoidable.. Ma
honey struggled to make the 130
pounds last season iand Faust was
at that weight for the National
Championships, but neither boy
can get down there this early in
the season.”
Leetnan intends to go with the
same lineup that pinned Cornell,
Franklin and Marshall, and Penn.
Speidel’s only change will find
Fornicola at 130 and Lemyre at
137.
WRESTLING LINEUP
Penn State Wt. Lehigh
Homan 123 McCord
Fornicola 130 Filipos
Lemyre 137 Faust
Maurey 147 Eichelberger

Krebs
Dvorozniak 177 Gallagher
Oberly Hwi. Comley
Unbeaten Alex McCord, a flashy
leg wrestler who rose from ob
scurity to win the EIWA 123-
pound championship last season,
will battle State’s Bob Homan in
the opening encounter. Homan,
who usually starts the Lions off
on the right foot, will be after
his second win, while his oppo
nent will be in search of his third.
Larry Fornicola, who has gone
through six dual meets without
a defeat, will battle Gus Filipos
in the 130-pound class. Filipos, a
sophomore who had an outstand
ing prep school record, is un
beaten in three collegiate matches
this season.
What will probably be the most
colorful match of the evening, will
find Lemyre and Faust wrestling
for the 137-pound win. Lemyre
takes his opponents, big or small,
as they come and he defeats them
with the widest assortment of un
orthodox holds ever seen in col
lege wrestling. Faust, a brilliant
wrestler, was a threat in every
respect last year and now looms
as the biggest threat to Lemyre’s
16 dual meet victory skein.
At 147 pounds, Lehigh fans will
see two wrestling machines oper
ate: namely, the Engineers’ Ed
Eichelberger and the Nittany
Lions’ co-captain, Jerry Maurey.
Eichelberger was winner of all
his freshman bouts by pins and
runnerup in the National AAU
meet last Spring. Maurey, on the
other hand, was third runner-up
in the Nationals and EIWA cham
pion in the 137-pound .class.
Doug Frey, 157-pounder, and
Bill Krebs, 167-pounder, will also
have their hands full when they
meet Dick Whited and Roger Tay
lor, respectively. Whited, unde
feated as a frosh, was a New Jer
sey state champion as a high
school senior. Although Taylor
has dropped two decisions this
season, he is considered a threat.
George Dvorozniak is consid
ered to have a good chance to win
his first match of the campaign
against 177-pounder, Dave Galla
gher. despite the fact that he will
be giving his Lehigh foe a ten
pound advantage.
One of the brightest prospects
on Speidel's squad is Bill Oberly.
Against unc 1 ' v T?ated Joe Comly,
the Nittany r ' -s’ New Jersey
State charr. , will witness his
first real test.
Michigan State
Marries Munn
Athletic Head
EAST LANSING, Mich, Jan. 15
(A 3 ) Two old football buddies
took over the two top athletic
jobs at Michigan State College
today.
Head Football Coach Clarence
L. (Biggie) Munn moved up to
athletic director to succeed Ralph
H. Young.
Hugh (Duffy) Daugherty, his
line coach who once played under
Munn, became head coach.
Munn will officially succeed
Young, the retiring director, ef
fective July 1. Daugherty’s ap
pointment also had the July 1
date but Munn said: “As far as
I’m concerned, he’s head coach
right now.”
The State Board of Agriculture,
governing body of MSC, gave the
appointment unanimous approval
after they were recommended by
President Dr. John A. Hannah.
Munn will draw a salary of
$16,750 a year, the same pay he
made as head coach. He still will
be forfeiting an estimate*; $3500
he collected yearly for radio and
television appearances and speak
ing engagements.
Daugherty will make $13,000 a
year.

Bowl Lineups
LOS ANGELES; Jan. 15 (JP) —
One guess was as good as another
regarding the starting lineups,
and the coaches were still iudging
their all-star talent today as they
wound up heavy work for the
post-season Pro Bowl football tilt
Sunday in Memorial Coliseum.
Word from the rival camps—the
Eastern division squad, coached
by Paul Brown of the Cleveland
Browns, and the Western Confer
ence outfit, handled by Buddy
Parker of the champion Detroit
Lions—was most indefinite about
starting honors.
2-Hour Ring Session Will End
'Heavy 7 Workouts for Mittmen
Sparring sessions which have
been dominating Nittany boxing
practices for two weeks will prob
ably end today. Coach Eddie Sul
kowski has scheduled a two-hour
afternoon session for more than
23 boxing candidates.
Sulkowski said most of the men
will be conditioning themselves
in their off-hours during the dur
ation of final examinations.
“During the mid-s emester
break,” Sulkowski explained, “the
boys will stay here.”
Although Sulkowski has been
keeping a eye on the men spar
ring each afternoon, he hasn’t
made any choices' for his eight
man squad.
“I’ve got some good looking
boys,” Sulkowski commented,
“but it is entirely, too early to
say definitely who will box, and
at what weight.”
Asked if the quality among the
present candidates meant the
Lions would improve their hap
less 1-6 record of last year, Sul
kowski said he didn’t know.
“Our squad may show improve
ment, but the big question is
what our opponents have in the
way of veterans and new talent,”

just as tough as ever in today’s
contest.
Have 10-3 Record
The Middies have rolled over
iten opponents this year, losing
only three games, and have, a
one-two punch that is as good as
any in the nation in the persons of
6-5 forward John Clune and 6-3
center Don Lange. Clune is ranked
21st among the nation’s scorers,
averaging 23.5 points per game
and Lange holds down the 24th
spot, with a 22.3 average.
In the rest of the Navy lineup,
John MacDonnel (6-2) will be at
the other forward position and
Ken McCally (6-1) and Doral
The game will be televised at
2:30 p.m. over WFBG-TV, chan
nel ten, in Altoona.
Sandlin (6-0) will be at the guard
posts.
The Middies are traditionally a
running team and this year has
been no exception. Carnevale is
one of the biggest exponents in
the country of the fast-break
game and his teams clearly show
it. Led by Clune and Lange, the
Midshipmen score heavily with
their running attack. They are
ranked 28th . in the nation this
week with a 76.5 scoring average.
However, the big question in
this contest is whether Carne
vale’s sprinters will be as effec
tive against the Lions’’ combina
tion pressing-zone defense. Coach
Elmer Gross’ system has been
very effective against other fast
breaking teams this season in
cluding a charging West Virginia
quintet that the Lions whipped
74-66 on Wednesday.
The Lions had trouble with the
Mountaineers early in the contest,
playing a man-for-man defensive
game, but soon stopped them
when they switched back into
their air-tight zone.
Once again the key man of
fensively for the Lions will be
Jesse Arnelle, who ranks 50th
among the nations scorers, with an
18.8 average in seven games. The
giant junior also is out in front
in the Lion rebounding depart
ment and has constantly been the
main cog in the Nittany attack.
The rest of the Nittany lineup
will include Captain Jack Sherry
and Jim Blocker at the forwards
and Ron Weidenhammer and Ed
Haag at the guards.
Sulkowski explained.
“The next eleven days of off
time practice will offer more time
for me to work with the men in
dividually,” Sulkowski said.
With the Lions’ opening meet
of the season against Michigan
State only two weeks away, most
of the selections for the eight-man
squad will have to be. made by
the time mid-semester vacation
starts.
During the two days following
final exams, weight checks and
light workouts will be the theme
of practice sessions.

Sulkowski hinted that he had
several good prospects in line
for close surveillance for first
team berths. He refused to name
any particular boxer, saying he
had some promising men in var
ious classes, but some needed a
little more work.
“If I would name a first team
now, which is practically impos
sible, I may discourage some of
the boys, who with a little more
work and experience may prove
to ,be valuable to team—if not
this year, then next year,” Sul
kowski explained..
