    WO" MOM
Werner Names Lineup for Big Quadrangular . Meet
Chia Werner, Lion track
mentor, and his indoor track
team will board a chartered
plane at 2 p.m. today at Mar
tinsburg for a trip to East Lan
sing, Mich., for tomorrow's
jumbo meet with Michigan State,
MissoUri, and Ohio State.
Although the Lions have been
hampered by inadequate training
facilities, they rate a good chance
of , copping the victory in this
stellar encounter. But so do the

3 Lineup Changes Likely
Pepe Out; Humphreys,
McNeal May Wrestle
If the fiction in the Lion-Syracuse wrestling match Satur
day proves to be similar to the amount of action that the two
opposing coaches now are going through in juggling their
lineups, Orange fans will be given a wrestling display that'll
spin their heads.
Both Coach Charlie Speidel of the Lions and Syracuse
Coach Joe Daniel will be playing a cat and mouse game in
awaiting match time to name their lineups. Both men are
in a position to adjust their lineups so adequately that their
moves could become an integral
pail of the contest's outcome.
Speidel has had his lineup
strengthened by the recent return
of veteran Joe Humphreys. Last
year Humphreys, who had been
kept on the sidelines thus far this
season with academic troubles,
had a 1-2 record in duel meets;
he lost his preliminary round bout
to Pitt's eventual, finalist, Joe
Solomon, in the Eastern tourna
ment, 6-1.
The solidly built sophomore
can wrestle either the 157- or 167-
pound weight. But where he'll see
action, if he does, against Syra
cuse is still undecided ,
These two weights seem to hold
the crux of the trouble that has
been causing Speidel to seriously
ponder his Saturday lineup.
Except for the 157- and 167-
pound weights Speidel's lineup
will revolve around Sid Nodland
(123), Captain Bob Homan (130),
Larry Fornicola (137), Dave Ad
ams 147), Joe Krufka (177), and
Big Oberly (heavyweight). (John

hest in the sprints, hurdles, and
shot put.
Bruce Austin, Art Pollard, and
Jack Morin will represent the
Lions in the 60-yard dash. Pol
lard, last year's outdoor IC4A
sprint titlist, will have to match
strides with two of the Big Ten's
fleetest runners—Eb Brabham of
Michigan State and Willie Wil
liams of Illinois. Morin and Pol
lard will also compete in the 300-
yard duel.
Dave Leathem and Austin may
run in the 440-yard event. This

Pepe, winner of two of his three
147-pound matches (dropped
down to the 137-pound division'
but was defeated for the Orange
match by Fornicola. Adams then
dropped down one weight to 147
pounds).
The bulk of Speidel's lineup is
stable, but the middle weights at
157 and 167 pounds still are ques
tionable.
If Humphreys wrestles 157
pounds (depending on what Syra
cuse throws at the Lions in the
two above weights) then Ed Pas
ko, Len McNeal, or Frank Clay
ton may go at 167 pounds.
Pasko has been Speidel's choice
in the two matches, but the jun
ior matman has been unable to
win; against Maryland he lost on
default and against Navy he was
pinned. M c N e a 1, 22-year-old
Windber senior, and Clayton, a
sophomore, have not seen varsity
competition.
While Speidel is struggling with
a decision for his two weights,

concerned, Daniel will probably

tourney and 157-pound EIWA tit
list last year, and Ron Marineilli,
ready to move into either the
157- .or 167-pound slots.

the high and low hurdles. Earlier

in the process. Jim Gehrdes, for
mer, Penn State hurdler is the
only other collegiate runner to
have defeated "Old Bones" in
the past five seasons.
Werner is still undecided as to
who will run on the mile relay
quartet. He listed Pollard, Morin,
Slocum, Leathem, and Austin as
but he brought back a second
place finish in the NCA A's an
nual tilt.
THE TREEHOUSE OF THE AUGUST MOON
Spring is just around the corner, and with spring, as always,
will come tree-sitting contests. This I applaud. Tree-sitting is
healthful and jolly and as American as apple pie. Also it keeps
you off the streets.
Tree-sitting is not, however, without its hazards, as you will
presently see when I tell you the dread and chilling tale of
Manuel Sigafoos and Ed Pancreas.
Manuel and Ed, friends and room-mates, were walking one day
past the folk music room in the School of Dentistry and Fiuo
Arts. Suddenly they stopped, for coming through the door of
the folk music room was a clear and thrilling alto voice singing
the lovely folk tune, I Strangled My True-Love with Her Own
Yellow Braids, and 111-Never Eat Her Sorghum Any More.
When the last shimmering notes of the ballad had died away,
Manuel and Ed rushed into the room, and there they thought
their swelling hearts must burst asunder. For the singer was as
beautiful as the song! Fair as the morn she was, doe-eyed and
curvilinear.
"My`name is Manuel Sigafoos," cried Manuel Sigafoos, "and
I love you madly, wildly, tempestuously!"
"My name is Ed Pancreas," cried Ed Pancreas, "and I love
yott more than Manuel Sigafoos."
"My name is Ursula Thing," cried the girl, "and I've got
a jim-dandy idea. Why don't you two have a contest, and I will
go steady with the winner?"
"What kind of contest?" cried Manuel and Ed.
"A tree-sitting contest," cried Ursula Thing. "Notch!"
"Done and done," cried Manuel and Ed, and they clambered
up adjoining aspens, taking with them the following necessaries :
food, water, clothing, medicaments, bedding, reading matter,
and moat essential of all plenty of Philip Morris cigarettes.
We who live on the ground, with all the attendant advan
tages, know how important Philip Morris cigarettes are. Think,
then, how much more important they must be to the lonely tree
dweller how much more welcome their vintage tobaccos, how
much more soothing their mild pure flavor, how much more
comforting to know as one sits in leafy solitude that come wind
or weather, come light or dark, Philip Morris will always remain
the same dependable, reliable, flavorful friend.
Well supplied with Philip Morris, our heroes began their contest
Manuel with good heart Ed with evil cunning. The shocking
fact is that Ed intended to win the contest with a Machiavellian
ruse. It seems that Ed, quite unbeknownst to Manuel, was one
of three identical triplets. Each night while Manuel dozed on
his bough, one of Ed's brothers Fred or Jed would sneak
up the tree and replace him. Thus Ed was spending only one-third
as much time in the tree as Manuel. "How can I lose r" said Ed
with a crafty giggle to his brother Fred or Jed.
But Ed had a surprise coming. For Manuel, though he did not
know it himself, was a druid 1 He had been abandoned as an
infant at the hut of a poor and humble woodcutter named
Winthrop Mayhew Sigafoos, who had raised the child as his own.
So when Manuel got into the tree, he found to his surprise that
he'd never felt so at home and happy in his life, and he had
absolutely no intention of ever leaving.
After four or five years Ed and his brothers wearied of the
contest and conceded. Ursula Thing came to Manuel's tree and
called him to come down and pin her. He declined. Instead he
asked her to join him in the tree. This she could not do, being
subject to acromegaly (a morbid allergy to woodpeckers) so
she ended up with Ed after all.
Only she made a mistake a very natural mistake. It was
Jed she ended up with, not Ed.
Ed, heartbroken at being tricked by his own brother, took
up metallurgy to forget.

able to do any practicing for this
