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.
Outing Club Plans
Ice Skating Party

Forestry Cabin. The group will

be added to the physical education
curriculum next semester when

'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.
And in spite of a vigorous effort

Richards is once again en

15-foot leaps have earned him
many titles and the name of
the "Flying Parson." His duels
with Don Laz have provided

Lions Open
With Cornell
Gromlers
By ROY WILLIAMS
Coach Charlie Speidel will
initiate his 29th season as Nit
tany wrestling coach tonight
when the Lions invade Cor
nell under circumstances sim
ilar to those when the Lions
opened their season against
the Big Red at home in 1954.
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

peared this season. Brady is re

knee.
