"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.)

QUICK NOTES FROM WEST POINT—
Even in a snow storm in isolated West Point, Lion gymnastics
coach Gene Wettstone can make things really lively.
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. He'll be out to avenge that defeat in the Easterns here,
March 7-8. •
The coach may change Werner from the side horse back to the
high bar. Besides being a move to,Srengthen the high bar trio, it
will also give Werner experience on the bar for . his all-around it:-
tempt in the Easterns next month. - , • ... , .

' Don't believe everything. you read in the New York' Ifine's:
they do make mistakes; really. My proof. is taken frOm Sunday's
edition: "Team scoring in gymnastics is. on a 6-4-3-2-1 point basis,
except in the rope climb, which - is judged on time." How's that
again???
- Incidentally, the Timeeiheadline read: "Army Gymnasts Up
set Penn State." 'Also from the Times we learn that Armando
Vega, is saving his year' of eligibility for next year. Anybody
wanna bet???.?
Winning quote from•coach Tom Maloney:-"That was the best
performance I've, ever had from a cadet Learn in my twenty-seven
'years here." Another famous Army quote: "We will return."
WettStone topped off the weekend with on of his unexpected
stcategic . ruoVes--against the Army. Upbn leaving the Point, he had
the bus detour past Coach Maloney's house (where he knew Judge
CoMiskey - luippened'to be)., In a shCiw of portsmanship he had the
team - deliver a ,short yell::"StateVr-:The Army was outmaneuvered.

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.
