Aid to Athletes
EUGENE, Ore UP) Northern
division schools, left with a dying
Pacific Coast Conference on their
hands when other colleges with
drew, turned Wednesday toward
a program of outright financial
aid to athletes.
The University of Oregon’s ath
letic director, Leo Hams, said the
program has been approved in
principle by the university, but
details still were to be worked
out.
Oregon State and Washington
State also were expected to do
away with labor programs.
The old requirement of so many
hours of work in exchange for
board, room, tuition and books
will be dropped.
Winter Sports Schedule, we
remind you that through a mu
tual agreement the sites of the
Panther-Lion basketball games
were interchanged. The reason

to hold a “Don Hennon Night”
on Feb. 28.)
But the immediate opponent
for the trio of sports is Syra

Causes Many Surprises —
Doc's Juggling Act
Seen Every Week
One of these days the United
Union will have to
bestow some kind of award
upon Penn State’s talented
wrestling Coach Charlie Spei
del.
The crafty Lion tutor surely de
serves some recognition for that
juggling act he performs on the
Nittany matmen’s starting lineup
every week.
Speidel has been working his
juggling routine for a good many
years now—switching his men up

(against Lehigh).
The “newcomers" to the line
up for Maryland, included Don
Wilson, 123. Guy Guccione. 137,
and Joe Haines. 177. But all of
them had started in at least
one previous meet—and Wilson
had been considered a regular.
Barone’s entry at 157 and Guc
cione's insertion at 137 for un
beaten Dan Johnston in the Mary
land affair have been the biggest
[surprises that Speidel has pulled.
Barone had tied two of the East’s
top wrestlers at 177 in his last
two outings, but Speidel pushed
him down to 157 for the Terps.
He came through brilliantly, by
pinning his man, breaking State’s
52-match pin drought.
The replacement of Guccione
for Johnston was even more sur
prising. For Johnston, who was
unbeaten with a 5-0 mark, had
been the Lions' most consistent
(and bes + ) wrestler. But in pre
meet drills last week, Guccione
eliminated Johnston and earned
the starling berth.
With the aforementioned fi
gures and examples in hand, it is
safe to assume that Speidel will
be performing ,his juggling act
once again this weekend when the
Lions meet Syracuse.
