PACE SI X Mat Finals Tonight; Chi After more than two weeks of action Chi Phi will lead the way into the intramural wrestling finals tonight, along 1...0.h 26 con testants who will stake their claims to 1955 individual mat titles. The first bout is slated for 8:00 p.m. The Chi Phi squad will have four men going for them in final action, and will be carrying an 18 point advantage over defend ing champion, Delta Upsilon, who will place three men in the finals. Phi Camma Delis is currently in third place and Sigma Nu in fourth, with both fraternities hav ing two contestants competing in the finals. As a champion is awarded 18 or 20 points (depending if the victory was by decision or pin), and a runnerup-10, Chi Phi will have to lose all four of its bouts and DU capture its contests by falls in order for Delta Upsilon to repeat as champions. However, if Chi Phi captures one individual title, Delta Upsilon will be forced to assume a subordinate position to the new champion. In last night's semi-final action, Dave Barney, Sigma Nu, earned the right to meet former 135 champion Armour Black of Chi Phi for the 145 title, when he de cisioned Jim Brubaker, Delta Up silon, 3-2. Barney captured the evenly matched scrap on the strength of a point for riding time. Black defeated Duane Campbell, Sigma Phi Epsilon, 9-0, on the strength of four pre dicaments. Charley Groff's two year reign came to an abrupt halt when the former 145 and 155 pound cham pion was beaten decisively by Andy Bergesen, Sigma Nu, 5-2. Bergesen will meet Chi Phi's im pressive Ernie Young for the 165 title. Young pinned Dick Shil linger, Tau Kappa Epsilon, in 4:58 with a body press. Jess Darlington, Phi Gamma Delta, pulled his 155 match from the fire when he received a point for riding time and then was award& the match, 5-4, over Dean Vesling, Beta Theta PI, on a referee's decision. Paul Brown, DU, defeated Norman White house, SPE, 2-1 on time advan tage and will meet Darlington for the 155 crown. Jim Lockerman, DU, pinned Fuzzy Law, Sigma Nu, in 1:59 and will meet Keith Horn for the unlimited title. Horn decisioned Frank Della Penna, 3-0. At 175 pounds Billy Kane defeated Dan Van Duyne, 5-4, and will meet Bob Wenner for the title. Wenner Trackman Face Rough Outdoor Card Penn State's outdoor track squad is on the threshold of opening a season that looks like one of the toughest gaunt lets of opponents the Nittany thinclads have faced in many years. But when Coach Chick Werner returns from Japan this weekend he will find his men—many of them veterans— well into the initial swing of prac tice sessions. Werner will have nine seniors plus an equal number of talented juniors and sophomores return ing to help form the bulk of his material for the 1955 'card. And with a look at the Lions' seven-meet card, what Werner has in the way of returning talent will be getting a rugged test dur ing the season grind.

A's-Yanks Deal Seen Possible WEST PALM BEACH, Fla., March 30 (JP)—New indications of a player deal between the Kansas City Athletics and the New York Yankees were seen today in a con ference between officials of the twc clubs. Arnold Johnson, owner of the A's, and Ray Kennedy, player per sonnel manager, flew to St. Pe tersburg for a meeting wit h George Weiss, general manager of the Yanks. The Yankees have indicated they'd like to obtain Arnold Por tocarrero, right-handed pitcher, who won 9 and lost 18 last sea son.

Youkers is another excellent hurdler who should give the Lions good depth. With seven men who have had experience returning for the mile relay chores, Werner should have another speedy quartet. Although the Lions are well for tified with high caliber material, they will need some heavy work in the javelin, high jump, broad jump, and pole vaulting divisions. The return of Herb Hollowell and Ron Johnson may give the Lions a well-needed shot for the broad jump workouts.
