PAGE SIX Mat, Gym Teams Host Orange Wrestlers Streak on Penn State's undefeated wrestling team puts its four game victory streak on the line tonight when it meets the once-beaten Syracuse Orangemen in the first half of a twin attraction at 7 tonight in Recreation Hall. _ The Lion gymnastic team meets Syracuse immediately following the wrestling match. Both coaches—Charley Speidel and Joe McDaniel of Syracuse—are noted for their juggling of lineups and to night's lineups seem to be no different. McDaniel, who has used 20 men in the last three matches, has 15 top men from which to choose. And the eighth who will start to night will riot be known until match time. Speidel will probably choose his eight from approximately 12 men. The veteran mentor was undecided as to who would get the starting nods. The Lions—who have beaten Cornell. Lehigh, Navy and Ohio State—will be strongest at the two extremes of the lineup— the lower weights and higher weights. Speidel will probably start un defeated Sid Nodland at the 123 slot and undefeated Johnny John ston at 130. McDaniel to counter these two will probably pit either' Don Clark, George Creason, or Ed Carlin against them with the pos sibility that Bill Waples might drop from his regular 137 spot to the 130 class. Both Creason and Carlin can Wrestle efectively at 130 and could be the likely starters. At 137 will be either Waples or Tommy King. King is a regular 147 performer but can drop .a weight if he is needed. If this does happen then Gordon Carberry will probably get the call at King's position. Syracuse beat Army in its last outing, after dropping a decision to Pittsburgh the preceding week. It beat Cortland State in the sea son's opener. For the Lions John Pepe, who is also unbeaten, will lie at the 137 post unless he is pushed up to 147. Then Hal Byers will man the 137 slot. Dave Adams. who can wrestle at both the 147- and 157-pound spots, will probably get the nod at 147 with either Joe Humphreys or Bill Thomas starting at 157. Syracuse will send either Bill Murphy or Ron Marinaelli against Humphreys or Thomas. Marianelli was pinned last year by Adams when the Orange dropped a 22-8 decision to the Lions. Besides having difficulty find ing capable men at the 157 slot, Speidel has been confronted with a bigger problem at the 167 slot. In tonight's match he can choose from either Ray Pottios, Ed Pasko, or Humphreys. Both Pasko and Pottios have been hot and cold in practice, which leaves this posi tion in the air until tonight. It will be either Bob Smith or Alvaro Gonzalez facing either of these three at that slot. At 177 pounds it will be one of Speiders "d spend ables"--Joe Krufka—facing either William White or Marty Lavanhar. White appears to have the in side track on this position. National champ Bill Obcrly will be in the heavyweight position for the Lions opposite Dick Lasse of the Orange. If McDaniel decides against starting Lasse, then Gerry Sprague will probably start.

Vega—a West Coast high school sensation--was ineligible for varsity competition last semester because he was a second semester freshman, forcing him to miss the West Virginia and Temple meets. Now that he is eligible, however, varsity coach Gene Wettstone is depending on his all-around ability to add to the already potent Lion scoring punch. ARMANDO VEGA makes his debut in inter collegiate gymnastic circles tonight at Recreation Hall when the Lions host the Orange from Syracuse. The Penn State freshman gymnastic team makes its 1956 debut today at Annapolis, Md.,l against the Navy frosh squad. The freshman meet—the only one of the sea son—will be the second half of a Penn State- Navy twin bill with the Lion frosh matmen com ing to grips with the Middie frosh in the opener. Gil Leu, freshman standout performer, and Lou Savadove are two men Coach Gene Wettstone is heavily depending on today. Leu vvill be a Lion entry in the parallel bars, the side horse, and the horizontal bar events, while Savadove heads the Lion entries in the tumbling, swinging rings and the horizontal bar. Another frosh competitor whom Wettstone holds high hopes for is Dave Dulaney, an all-around performer in both the tumbling and ring events. Jack Hidinger, Ed Pasko, and Don Littlewood are listed as the Nittany entries in the 20-foot rope climb. They have no past gym nastic experience, but show con siderable promise, Wettstone said. Bill Eberhardt, another, prom ising prospect who displays gymnastic potential, will be the other, Lion entry in the side horse event. Eberhardt is also listed as the second Penn State entry in the parallel bars, along with Leu. Ron Nippes rounds out the Nit tany lineup as the third entry in the horizontal bar activity. Penn State's scoring star, Dick Packer, of Newtown, Pa., has been named to the soccer all- America fo rthe second straight year. SATURDAY. FEBRUARY 11. 1956 By VINCE CAROCCI Vega in 3 Events Vega, who performed so cap ably in the match exhibition against the Swiss* at Rec Hall last January, is expected to enter three events—the side horse, the paral lel bars, and the swinging rings, Wettstone said that, although the rings is probably Vega's best event, his natural ability should make him a definite threat in the other two, especially the side horse. Dion Wiessend, another exper ienced veteran who has carried the bulk of the scoring load for the Lions in the past two meets, will also be counted on heavily by Wettstone to figure in the Nit tany scoring. Led Lion Scorers The youthful junior led Penn State scorers in both the Moun taineer and Temple encounters, breaking into the scoring column in each event in which he partici pated. Wettstone listed Wiessend as an entry in the tumbling, horizontal bar, and the parallel bar events. Captain Tony Cline—who per formed creditably in the Lion's two gymnastic wins—is also listed as a three-event entry in tonight's meet. The Lion senior will answer the call in the side horse, horizontal bars, and swinging rings events. Orange Strong in Tumbling The tumbling event, according to Wettstone, could be the closest competition of the meet where two-time first place winner, Bill Paxton, meets the three Syracuse standouts—Dick Hall, George Sat ! ter, and Lowell Meier. "Syracuse presents the toughest competition Pa x ton has yet to meet," the Nittany mentor said. "However, we can't underestimate Paxton's ability to score." Wettstone looks for the rope climbing competition to hold a strong determining point as to the winner of the meet. According to releases from Syr acuse, the Orange are weak in the rope climb, thus offering the Lions the opportunity to score a possible sweep in that event. Mullen Tops - Rope Climbers Phil Mullen, sophomore sensa tion, Leroy Fritch, and either Bob Boudreau or Dick Rehm will prob ably be the rope-climbing Nittany entries. Mullen won in his specialty in the West Virginia meet, while he and Fritch tied for first against the Owls. Ed Sidwell will team up with Cline and Vega as the Nittany third entry in the swinging rings. Sidwell copped a first place against the Mountaineers and a second against the Owls. Bob Foht, who - performed im pressively in the West Virginia meet, will be the third Nittany en try in the parallel bars. Phil Stevens and Jack Beister felt are expected to enter the tumbling and side horse events re spectively, while _ John Coller rounds out the Penn State lineup on the horizontal bars. 14 Race in $50,000 Santa Anita Today ARCADIA, Calif., Feb. 10 (411— Fourteen candidates, all , eligible for the $lOO,OOO added Santa Anita Handicap and topped by the highly regarded Bobby Bro cato, today - were named to race in the $50,000 added San Antonio Handicap at Santa Anita tomor row.
