Lehigh Meet
By BOY WILLIAMS
Although the final outcome
of the Penn State -Lehigh
wrestling match, set for Rec
Hall at 7 tonight, is the major
topic among the Lions’ most
avid wrestling fans, there is
one major question that needs
answering before the match’s
outcome can be considered.
That question revolves around
the men who will be named to
“start” by their individual coach
ea.
Coaches of both Penn State and
Lehigh will definitely be relying
heavily on the strategy of out
guessing each other as to where
what men will weigh in.
Alterations Seen
Speidel definitely will be plan
ning on making alterations in his
lineup, but these changes will
come only in four weights.
The four weights that will prob
ably remain the same as in the
Lions’ last two matches are 123,
130, 177, and heavyweight. Penn
State’s lineup in the other four
weights—l 37, 147, 157, and 167
is a different story.
In the last two meets Larry
Fomicola (137), Dave Adams (147),
Len McNeal (157), and Joe' Hum
phries (167) have been Speidel’s
choices.
Lehigh Juggling
Lehigh, however, has made re
peated lineup changes in these
four weights, particualrly at the
137- and 147-pound divisions
where Captain Ken Faust and
Dave Bates both undefeated
have switched weights. Also Ed
Eichelberger, the third member
of Lehigh’s undefeated quartet of
matrnen, has moved in and out
of the 147- and 167-pound divi
sions.
Lehigh will be juggling its line
up at 137, 147, and 157 pounds to
capitalize on the Lions’ weakness
es, and Bates, Faust, and Eichel
berger look like the most logical
men to be included in such a
maneuver.
Two Weights Uncertain
The 157 and 167 pound divisions
are two more brain teasers. De
pending on who is chosen for the
three lighter weights, Lehigh has
a choice of using Eichelberger,
Faust, or Don Whited at 157
pounds. Speidel, Oh the other
hand, could call on the services of

Host Pittsburgh
!n Final Game
Seeking its finest season in four
years, Penn State’s freshman bas
ketball team plays host to the Pitt
Panthers in the final game of the
season at 4 p.m. tomorrow in Rec
Hall. The contest will immediately
follow the varsity gym meet
slated for 2 p.m.
Coach Don Swegan’s yearlings,
fresh from a 87-67 conquest of
Altoona Wednesday night, will be
gunning for their fourth win, their
only loss coming at the hands of
Navy. The frosh also defeated the
Junior Varsity twice and Sherry’s
all-stars once.
On the other side of the slate,
Pitt is also enjoying one of its
better years. With two 6-4 per
formers, the Panthers of Coach
Pete Peterson, are expected to
provide the roughest opposition
of the year for the Lions. Pitt
has beaten Duquesne twice and
Carnegie Tech once in its latest
games.
Coach Swegan said his team
will make up in hustle what it
lacks in height and it is as good
now as it has been all year.
Jim Jordy, Tim Moore, Stan
Hopkins, Jim Keith, Harold Pel
low, Len Bell, and Mike Rohr
bach are the players showing the
most improvement on the squad
and this nucleus forms the strong
est bench we’ve had all season,”
Swegan said.

Tau, 21-13, 21-10; and in tht last
match of the night, John Hawk,

Against Pitt
By dick mcdowell
Revenge-minded Penn State
takes on the unpredictable
Pitt Panthers tonight in the
basketball end of a triple
header sports program at Rec
reation Hall. The game is sche
duled to begin at 8:30 p.m. fol
lowing the Penn State-Lehigh
wrestling match.
The Lions, beaten by the Pan
thers in their earlier meeting at
Pittsburgh, 76-66, will be looking
Penn Slate's basketball team
will play Memphis State in one
of the two NCAA regional bas
ketball playoffs at Lexington,
Vy„ on March 8. it was an
nounced yesterday.
Memphis State sports a fine
17-3 record. The Tigers lost
three of their first Your games,
and have not been defeated
since.
Should the Lions win at Lex
ington., they will advance to
Eastern regional play at. Evan
ston, 111., the following weekend.
for their 47th win in the time
worn series that began back in
1906. The series stands at 46-37.
Coach John Egli’s Lions, ready
ing themselves for their entry in
to the National Collegiate basket
ball tournament, will be going
after their 11th straight Rec Hall
victory this year, and 17th of the
campaign.
At least one scoring record
threatens to fall tonight although,
for a change, it won’t in the Penn
State books. Pitt forward Ed Pav
lik stands just 12 points away
from the school’s career scoring
mark. The 6-4 senior has 998
points collected over a two-season
span.
He and the Lions’ Jesse Arnelle,
who passed the 2000-point mark
in the Nittanies’ last outing,
threaten to kick up a scoring dual
in the annual rock-em-sock-em
scrap. Pavlik has been hitting the
hoops at a 23-point scoring pace
and Arnelle is averaging in the
27-plus range.
Key Figures
Those two men figure to be the
key performers in the game, one
which has become as unpredict
able as any Penn State-Pitt ath
letic contest can get.
However, the Nittanies have
been incomparable at home where
they have topped the 100 point
mark three times. In addition, no
Rec Hall opponent has come with
in 15 points of the Lions’ Carnegie
Tech got the closest, 91-75. How
ever, that was the story last year
when Pitt visited the Nittany
stronghold and the Jungle Cats
chased Elmer Gross’ club for
three overtime periods before,
succumbing, 91-85.

Gym Opposition
By RON GATEHOUSE
Penn State’s gymnasts will
make their final home appearance
of the season and three Lions will
perform on the Rec Hall apparatus
for the last time when Gene Wett
stone’s acrobats go against Temple
at 2 p.m. today.
Nittany captain* Karl Schwenz
feier, rope climber Skeets Haag,
and Don Rehm on the parallel
bars, are the three senior gym
nasts, all of whom will have a lot
to do with the Lions' chances of
picking up their fifth win of the
season and fourth in the EIGA.
The Owls—although a threat
to the title-hungry Lions’ EIGA
hopes—can’t be considered one of
the stronger opponents the Lions
have faced in comprising their
present 4-1 slate.
To date, Wettstone's performers
have upset Army and Navy, and
turned back West Virginia and
Pitt. Illinois’ NCAA runners-up
gave them their lone loss.
Although no major lineup
changes are seen for this after
noon’s contest, Wettstone has an
nounced two slight alterations.

Dick, will make his first varsity
