PAGE SIX C• • ers Wrestlers Navy Makes First Rec Hall Visit Off and running again after a holiday scoring slump, Penn State "battles Navy tonight in quest of its eighth basketball victory of the season. The Rec Hall contest will get under way at 8 p.m. foll Owing the preliminary game. It will be Navy's first ap pearance at Rec Hall and the Lions want revenge for a 62-58 beating handed them last year at Annapolis. And a look at the records indicates that it might be Penn State's night. Coach Bob Carnevale's quintet has won only two of six games thus far this season, and appears to be a much weaker team than the , one that downed the Lions last year. However, that doesn't necessarily mean that the Middies are a weak club. Very few weak athletic teams of any kind have ever come out of the Academy, and despite its noor record this one may be surprisingly strong, and could give the Nittanies a stiff test. Lost Stars Carnevale was forced to find replacements for his two great stars of last season, John Clune and Phil Lang," and had trouble with his results until Wednesday when the Middies snapped a four game losing streak by beating William and Mary, behind the sharp-shooting of guard John Mc- Cally. The Lions, however, are prob ably the best offensive team to face his quintet to date. Currently scoring more than 86 points a game, John Egli's passers are _lin ning 17 points better than any previous Penn State team. Led by center Jesse Arnelle, who is cutting the nets at a 27.7 point per game pace, the Lions have swept to seven wins in. ten contests. May Top Record • The big senior has tossed in 277 points and is well on the way to breaking his single season scor ing record of 507 points. Egli said yesterday no lineup changes will be made for tonight's contest. Ea r 1 Fields and Rudy Marisa will man the forward posi tions and Rcn Weidenhammer and Bob Hoffman will be at the guards. The Lions play their final home game of the current stand Wed nesday against Syracuse and then go on the road for five straight contests.

'Blank Check' Given On TV by NCAA NEW YORK, Jan. 7 VP)—The NCAA convention wrote out an other "blank check" recommendation for a 1955 football television program today in spite of a boycott threat from the Big Ten group. • After a lengthy and sometimes laugh-provoking hassle over the details, the delegates adopted the resolution offered by the out going committee, With an amend ment showing the result of an in formal preferential vote taken today. The resolution says, in effect, merely that there shall be a na tional TV program for 1955, its format to be decided by a new committee after appropriate infor mation has been secured.

Frosh Battle Sherry's 'Stars' Se - A ct ion Charlie Speidel Initiates 29th Season Richards is once again en tered in the pole vaulting com petition, where his numerous 15-foot leaps have earned him many titles and the name of the "Flying Parson." His duels with Don Laz have provided a host of new records. Laz de feated Richards last season, finishing with a leap of 14' 8" as compared to Richards' 14- foot vault. However, the Par son was suffering from a foot injury at the time of the meet. Shelton has won 50 consecu tive outdoor high jump meets and is the No. 1 threat to the much dreamed of seven-foot leap. He has cleared the bar at 6' 11" with his variation of the Western roll which he has labeled th e "straight-legged straddle." The world indoor mark of '6' 10 3 / 4 " was set in 1953 by Ken Weisner.

Tonight Cornell will hold the advantage on, the Lions as far as match experience is concerned. The Lions should get the odds in the skill depart ment. Cornell has a 1-1-2 record and the Lions open with' a clean sl6te. Last year Cornell, had a 2-1 rec ord when it invaded Rec Hall, only to suffer its second loss as the Lions won their opener, 20-6. Lineup Changes Due, Coach Eric Miller of Cornell and Speidel have one thing in com mon. They, like many other mat coaches, make a habit of juggling their lineups before a match. In the Cornell-Lion match '_ast winter, two changes appeared the Nittany lineup while the Big Red• altered its lineup in three instances. Probable lineup for Cornell,- in order, is Ernie and Rex B oda, Chuck Gratto, Rog Judd, Bob Lynch, Berkeley Briggs, Otis Kell er, and Phil . Harvey. For the Lions, Sid Nodland, Capt. Bob Ho man, John Pepe, Dave Adams, Bill Shawley, Bob Snyder, Joe Krufka, and Bill Oberly. Miller may depend heavily on sophomores Lynch, Briggs, and Ernie Boda outstanding frosh last year for Cornell. At heavy weight, Phil Harvey lost his Ro chester Tech and Lehigh matches; Cornell, however, has Dick Brady; outstanding sophomore, F in, the heavy division, who has not ap peared this season. Brady is re portedly hampered by an injured knee. Cornell Veterans Lynch (167), Rex Boda (123), and Judd (157), wrestled the Lions last winter but lost against Bill Krebs, Homan, and Doug. Frey. Cornell, however, has 1953 145- pound champ Ken Hunte sitting on the bench plus Nazeuno Ttide —who lost against Lehigh's Dave Bates 9-2—and Chuck Gratto at 137 pounds, who could be picked to meet the Lions.
