Pitt Victory
By ROY WILLIAMS
Penn State 's , wrestling
squad meets Syracuse tonight
on the latter's home mats
with intention of slapping the
Orange squad with its second
loss within three days and
third of the season.
Syracuse, entering the con
test with a 2-1 record, had its
ledger evened at 2-2 by Pitt
Wednesday night when the
Panthers scored two pins and
two decisions to drop the Orange,
22-9.
Pitt won points in the 130, 147,
167, and 177-pound divisions
topped off with draws in the
heavy division and 157-pound
class.
Pitt's wins in the 147-pound and
177-pound weights were by pins;
Bob Cook, Pitt, pinned Ron Mar
inelli with a chicken wing and
half nelson in 7:58. Joe Solomon
took Pitt's final pin with a half
nelson and crotch at 2:46 over
Pedro Gonzales, Syracuse.
Rooney Beaten
Syracuse's Win Rushell at 130
pounds was defeated by Ed Perry,
7-2, while his heavier teammate,
167-pound Ed Rooney, was edged
by Pitt's Ed DeWitt, 8-7.
Draws were posted between
Bob Smith, Syracuse, and Don
Huff 8-8 in the 157-pound weight
and heavys George Finck, Syra
cuse, and Dan Wisniewski, 1-1.
Finck's draw snapped his three
match win streak.
Only Orange grapplers to win
were 123-pounder Don Clark who
dropped Bill Hulings, 5-3, and
Tom King, Syracuse 137-pounder,
who managed to cop the only
Syracuse win by a pin. King
pinned his Panther opponent Nick
Swentowsky with a cradle in
4:58.
Lineup Indicative
The lineup that Orange coach
Joe Daniel named for the Pitt-
Syracuse match could be indica
tive of the men the Lions will
meet tonight.
Don Clark, holder of a 3-1 rec
ord at 123 pounds, and heavy
weight George Finck, 3-0-1, will
be probable starters for Syracuse.
At 130 pounds either Charles Root
(1-1) or Win Rushell (0-2) may
be chosen by Daniel.
At 147 pounds 4 Tommy King
(2-2) or Ron Marinelli (1-2) may
handle the Orange chores against
the Lions.
In the next three weights Dan
iel has made it a habit of shuff
ling Bob Smith, Ed Rooney, Pedro
Gonzales, and Marinelli according
to what kind of opposition he
thinks the opposing teams will
throw at him in these weights.
Has Sacrificed Before
Daniel has sacrificed a loss in
several meets in one weight in

WEST POINT, N.Y., Feb. 11 (1?)
—Army is fair game now for foot
ball bowl promoters but indica
tions are that the West Pointers
will be slow to jump into the
post-season madness.
They may accept bids in the fu
ture but they will be mighty
choosy. Strong conditions will be
attached.
They won't consider a bowl un
less the Cadets have a superior
record. It will have to be a pres
tige game with an important op
ponent. They won't agree to a
bowl rematch with Navy, their
traditional yearend - rival.
If Army f o 11 o w s suit, Notre
Dame will remain the lone major
holdout against the post-season
festivals, which have been rpund
ly criticized as fostering over
emphasis of college football.
In South Bend, Ind., Father
Theodore Hesburgh, Notre Dame
president, said there would be no
retreat from the institution's firm
anti-bowl policy.
"We are concerned with the
scholastic welfare of our players,
who are students as well as play
ers, and we just can't afford to
extend the football season," Fath
er Hesburgh added.
In the 1920's freshmen were for
bidden to associate with girls
within a three-mile radius of Old
Main except on authorized oc
casions.
Look for 15th Victory
In First of 4 on Road
By DICK McDOWELL
t‘, l
Seeking its 15th victory of the season, and sixth in suc
cession, the Penn State basketball team faces the first of four
consecutive road games tonight when it battles traditional
rival Washington and Jefferson on the Presidents' home
hardwood in Washington, Pa.
The Lions, currently playing their : best brand of basket
ball this season, move into the game with a 14-5 record, and
face six contests before they wrap up the regular campaign.
The Presidents present prob
ably the easiest opposition of the
coming road sojourn. John Egli's
quintet will travel to Syracuse
and Colgate next week for what
promises to be a real test, and
then meet Rutgers before return
ing home where they will en
counter Pitt and Penn.
With possible NIT and National
Collegiate tournament bids fac
ing them, every victory from here
on will be doubly important for
the Lions.

performers dropped a 3-0 de
cision and the match, 16-14.

Jesse Arnelle, who is pushing
strongly for the select 2000 point
scoring circle. The big senior pi
vot-man has 1939 and is a sure
bet to reach the magic total. It's
just a question of how soon. Cur
rently averaging an even 28
points, he stands sixth among the
nation's major college scoring
leaders.
Egli is expected to stick with
his usual combination of Arnelle,
Bob Hoffman, Ron Weidenham

a quintet that has been unbeat
able in the last five games.

NCAA May Try
New TV Grid Plan
NEW YORK, Feb. 11 (W)—The
1955 NCAA television committee
today wound up a two-day meet
ing, its second since it was ap
pointed last month, arid reported
that it "contemplated" approving
a plan for football telecasting next
week.
There was no indication of the
form this plan will take in the
brief statement issued by the com
mittee. The Big Ten and Pacific
!Coast Conferences have been ad
vocating a "national - regional"
plan, under which games in var
ious sections would be broadcast
in their own region, instead of the
single "garrie of the week" pro'.
gram. -
Representatives of those tw o
conferences appeared, before the
committee to plead their case and
a Southeastern Conference repre
sentative also presented "view
points S and proposes."
At the U. S. airbase at Thule,
Greenland, men see the sun for
the first time in four months each
February and in April they start
four months of perpetual day
light.
