WEDNESDAY. FERR Mat Not "There's not cerning his team' "I thought we did as well as we could," the wrestling genius continued, "but Cornell was just too much for us. They are a stout and solid team." "Their only loss, remember, was to Lehigh by a couple of points—one bout to be exact. And I think that if they'd wrestle Lehigh again, things would be different than the first meet." Speidel thought Captain John-1 ny Johnston, Earl Poust, George, Gray and Sam Minor all did "a good job." "Johnston wrestled the only way he could against a man (Carmen Molino) who was un doubtedly looking for a draw , . He (Molino) kept trying to stave Johnston off the whole match. "And the same goes for Earl.' He took advantage of every mis take his man (Ted Carter) made. "Gray was up against their best man (Steve Friedman) and he did a good job against him. The score would have been much closer than 9-4, but Gray had to shoot when he was behind by a point in the final period." Speidel praised Minor for his performance against Cornell's unbeaten Captain. Dick Vincent, but complained about Minor's failure to escape from Vincent's clutches in the final stanza. "The men who won were able to get out from underneath." Speidel said, "but Sam couldn't. However, he'll learrfi with more experience." The wily Nittany boss also com mented on the performance of sophomore Hank Baron e—that surprise starter at 177. Barone, a native of State College, recently returned from a 'hitch in the Ma rines. He just became eligible for wrestling at the beginning of the spring semester. "He was a little wild," Spei del said, "but he was in there trying to win the whole time. He did all the work on the mat and sometimes sacrificed points by moving when his opponent (John Gardner) wanted to be still. He has the potential but needs experience.' . When asked how he thought the Lions would do against their next foe, Syracuse, whom they face this Saturday night at Rec reation Hall, Speidel said: "I cant tell you anything, Doc, I'm . just hoping." (So are we,'Doc.) Nine Shutouts Highlight IM Bowling Parade There were shutouts 'galore in intramural bowling Monday night as nine of the twelve matches ended, in 4-0 scores.

On the way up, Gene used the loudspeaker on the University bus to give his athletes a complete itinerary of the pre-, post- and during the meet activities. To make the talk lively, ace rope climber Phil Mullen started taking mock bets on how long Gene would talk and then on how old he was. (We settled on 43. Gene wouldn't comment) Part of the itinerary included a workout at 4:45, foildwed by dinner in the Cadet mess. Then Gene started taking bets himself— on the time of arrival. (We left State College at 8:35 a.m., Friday.) Trainer Ray Ulinski guaranteed Gene (at 6-1) that he would be in the Point by 5 p.m. Around 4:15 we hit the mountains and rode the rest of the way in low gear into the Academy. We arrived after s—it was the last bit of good luck Wettstone was to receive during his stay. Judge Frank Comiskey was high on Lee Cunningham's horizontal bar routine. Comiskey, considered the best judge in the nation; gave Lee the highest score even though he had a minor break in his exercise. Lee _finished second thotigh. After the meet the impressionable . sophomore said in one of his infrequent cocky moods, "Now•Fm champ on two events—the- side horse 'and high bar." Beware- Mr. Cunningham, beware! Don't for get for one second that. O'Quinn had a break in his championship routine.

BE IT EVER SO HUMBLE Today let us apply the hot white light of sustained - thinking to the greatest single problem besetting American colleges. I refer, of course, to homesickness. It is enough to rend the heart, walking along a campus at night and listening to entire dormitories sobbing themselves to sleep, And in the morning when the poor, lorn students rise from their tear-stained pallets and refuse their breakfasts and shamble off to class, their lips trembling, their eyelids gritty, it is enough to turn the bones to aspic. What can be done to overcome homesickness, Well sir, the obvious solution is for the student to put his borne on rollers and bring it to college with him. This, however, presents three serious problems: 1) It is likely to play hob with your wine cellar; many wine as we all know, will not travel. 2) There is the matter of getting your house through the Holland Tunnel, which has a clearance of only 14 feet, 3 inches. .This, of course, is ample for ranch houses, but quite impossible for Cape Cods, Georgians, and Saltboxes, and I, for one, think it would be a flagrant injustice to deny higher education to students from Cape Coe, Georgia, and Saltbox. 3) There is the question of public utilities. Your house— and, of course, all the other houses in your town—has wires leading to the municipal power plant, pipes leading to the mu nicipal water supply and gas main. So you will find when you start rolling your house to college that you are, willy-nilly, dragging all the other houses in town with you. This will result in gross population shifts and will make the Bureau of the Census cross as bears. No, I'm afraid that taking your house to college is not feasi ble. The thing to do, then, is to make your campus lodgings u close a replica of your home as passible. Adorn your quarters with familiar objects, things that will constantly remind you of home. Your brother Sam, for instance. Or your citizenship papers. Or a carton of Marlborm There is nothing like Ilsriboros, dear friends, to make you feel completely at home. They're so easy, so friendly, so wel come, so likable. The filter is great. The flavor is marvelous. The Flip-Top Box is wonderful. The tattoo is optional. Decorating your diggings with familiar objects is an excellent remedy for homesickness, but it is not without its hazards. Take, for instance, the case of Tignor Sigafoos and Estabrook Raunch who were assigned to share a room last fall in the freshman dorm. Tignor, an ice-skating addict from Minnesota, brought with him 44 barrels over which he had jumped the previous winter to win the Minnesota Jumping-Over-Barrels Championship. Estabrook, a history major from Massachusetts, brought Plymouth Rock. Well sir, there was simply not enough room for 44 barrels and Plymouth Rock too. Tignor and Estabrook fell into such a vio lent quarrel that the entire dorm was keot awake for twelve days and twelve nights. Finally the Dean of Men was called in to adjudicate the dispute. Ile listened carefully to both sides of the argument, then took Tignor and Estabrook and pierced their ears and sold them to gypsies. y ,ocs Sias %alma And now all is quiet in the dorm, and everyone sits he peace and smokes his liar'bora!, whose makers bring gest this column throughout the aehool year.
