FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 10. 1956 Lion Matmen In Heavy Drills Wrestling Coach Charley Speidel is putting his unbeaten matmen through heavy workouts in preparation for tomor row night's match with the once-beaten Orangemen of Syra cuse. Syracuse will arrive in University Park this afternoon, and will work out T 3 .1 the Recreation Hall mats late today. The match will egin at 7 p.m. and be followed by the Penn State-Syracuse gymnastic' meet at 8:30 The Lion freshman will leave University Park at 1 p.m. today for Annapolis where they will meet the Navy yearlings tomor row at 1 p.m. The frosh matmen won their first match with Cor nell in Rec Hall, but dropped a decision to Lehigh in their last outing. Speidel was still undecided who would start in the 147-, 157-, and 165-pound slots. But if past game lineups are any indiCation, the slots will probably be ;filled with either Dave Adams, !Joe Hum phreys, Ed Pasko, Ray Pottios, or B. N. Thomas. Speidel can use either Pasko or Pottios at the 165 slot with Hum- ' Dick Lasse May Face Oberly phreys or Thomas starting at 155. But if Humphreys is used at _165 then Adams or Thomas will get the call at 155. Adams can also drop to 147. Thomas can also move up to 165 if Speidel benches both Pottios and Pasko. Another possibility is John Pepe, who can wrestle at both 137 and 147 pounds. If Pepe wrestles 147 then Adams will stay at the 155 slot. At 177 and the heavyweight positions Speidel has his "de pendables"—Joe K r u f k a and Bill Oberly. Both men are defi nite starters, and will be relied on heavily in tomorrow's match. Probable opponents for Krufka and Oberly, according to Orange Coach Joe McDaniel, are Bill White and Dick Lasse. But Mc- Daniql, in the habit of juggling his lineup, can also shove Marty Lavanhar in the 177 slot and Gerry Sprague in at heavyweight. In the (lower weights Speidel will probably use Sid Nodland at 123 pounds, Johnny John stone at 130 and either Hal By ers, Earl Poust, or Pepe at 137. These weights plus the 177 and heavyweight classes give Spei del the nucleus of his team's strength. While McDaniel appears to be weak in the higher weights his small men are considered strong. He can use Wilkes-tourney winner Don Clark, Ed Carlin, or , George Creason at 123 with (either Carlin or Creason able to wrestle at higher weights., Bill Waples will probably. start at 137. TONIGHT SATURDAY The • nnocents . at . Center Stage 8:00 P.M. Tickets at the HUB and door! Four Soph Matmen Four sophomores are numbered among the top candidates for Penn State's 1956 wrestling team. The four are Dick Baker, of State College; Jim Hedberg, of Oak mont; Tom Kessinger, of Farming dale, N.Y.; and Earl Poust, of Muncy. What's doing at Pratt & Whitney Aircraft Jet Engines Tested in World's Most Complete Privately Owned Turbine Laboratory Located on the bank of the Connecticut River at East'Hartford is a singular development facil ity—the Andrew Willgoos Turbine Laboratory. Here, behind windowless, thick concrete walls, many types of engineers find a never-ending challenge in the development and testing of advanced aircraft engines. Test methods used by Pratt & Whitney Air craft in their tinique laboratory are highly com plex. Tests are conducted on full-scale experi mental engines at simulated altitudes up to 76,000 feet. Extremely high speed airflow, with pressure and temperature accurately controlled, duplicates speeds as high as Mach 2.75. To re produce such prodigious flight conditions, ex traordinary equipment had to be devised. For example, a 21,500-hp driving dynamometer sup plies the enormous power needed to test }et engine compressors over a range of speeds from 800 rpm to 16,000 rpm. The time lapse between development and production of new engines is reduced consider ably by the advanced facilities of the Willgoos Laboratory. An outstanding example of results achieved through concentrated engineering ef fort and complete research support is the Pratt & Whitney Aircraft J-57 turbojet. Today the unchallenged leader in its held, the J-57 is merely the forertumer of greater aircraft engines that will power the preeminent military and commercial aircraft of the future.

THE DAILY COLLEGIAN STATE COLLEGE PENNSYLVANIA Gymnasts to Test Syracuse Syracuse University's gym nastic team, sporting a 1-1 record, comes to Recreation Hall Saturday .night for its encounter with the undefeat ed Nittany Lion squad. The meet will begin at 8:30 p.m., immediately following the Lion- Syracuse wrestling match. • The Orange opened their 1956 season by dropping a meet to West Point, but came back strong ly to defeat the Fitt gymnastic aggregation. Two of the Orange's biggest point scorers—Lowell Meier and George Satter—did not compete in the Cadet meet, but were in the lineup in the win over the Pan thers. Both Meier and Satter are con- sidered to be two of the top tumb lers in the eastern part of the country, giving the Orange a po tent scoring punch in the tumb ling competition. Undefeated Dave Hall is ex pected to be the third Syracuse entry in the tumbling event. Paul Barkel heads the list of the visitors' entries in the side horse event. Barkel is a veteran in intercollegiate gymnastic compe tition, and is expected to provide tough opposition for the Lion en tries. Chuck Luttinger is listed as the other Syracuse entry in the side horse. Meier, Luttinger, and Tom Kon deprias, a dark-horse entry, will carry the Orange colors in hori zontal bar activity. Both Meier and Luttinger have Audrew Nikes: Tedium Laboratory where jet engines and their components are explored. Cooling water from the Connecticut River can be pumped through a maze Al conduits at the rate of 160,000 gallons per minute 3 1 / 2 times the consumption of a city of half a million people. 845 flying test-bed is shown here with an experimental jet engine suspended directly beneath the bomb bay. Its regular engines are idled while in-flight performance of the turbojet is observed and recorded. The perfect complement to the complex ground-testing facilities of the Wiligoos Laboratory, the flying test-bed is another vital factor in reducing engine development time. PRATT & WHITNEY DIVISION! OF UNITED - AIRCRAFT CORPORATION MAST INANTIPORD S• CONNECTICUT Engineers In control room of one of eleven test cells at Wiligoos Laboratory reca•d important characteristics of gas turbine engines in operation. World's foremost designer and builder of aircraft engines AIRCRAFT had past collegiate experience on the high bar. Dick Shipley, Jack Hall, and Bill Hageboom are listed as the Syracuse entries in the rope climb —one of the weakest events in the team's lineup, according to re leases from Syracuse. Barkel and Meier will team up to provide the opposition in the parallel bars. Luttinger is also ex pected to enter the parallel bars event. Konedprias, Frank Cipollets, and Hageboom will most likely be the Orange competitors in the swing ing rings event. . After Saturday night's meet, the Lions travel to West Point for a dual meet with Army Saturday. Feb. 18. They return home the following Saturday to test the Middies of Navy. PAGE SEVEN
