In last I week's issue of Wrestling News and Reports" Penn State was listed fourth in tile nation and Illinois 14th. But as sports fans know, upsets are common, especially when the meet is being held on the underdog's mat. In this case Penn State is the visitor. Illinois, until last week, had a 2-3-1 record, winning from the Great Lakes Naval Training Station, 17-16, and Michigan, 21-16. Its losses were to Indiana,' 28-6; Purdue, 23-17; and lowa State Teachers, 26-8. lowa State Teachers is listed 10th in the na tion in the weekly poll, while Michigan is eighth.

Fricker or Yates at 123 Illinois Coach, Pat Patterson, can start Dave Fricker, who has lost three matches this year. or Dave Yates at the 123-pound divi sion. His regular at 130 has been Norb Sargent, who has won one, lost two, and tied two. • Bill Muther, undefeated in five wins, will start at 137 pounds, and will probably face Lion unbeaten John Pepe. The 147 slot will have Bill Mellen in it boasting a 3-2 record. Mellen was pinned in the lowa State Teachers match. Gabbard, Hot and Cold Don Pierre or Bill Gabbard will start at 157, Gabbard has been hot and cold all season and on occasions has been benched in Talented Froth Prep for IC4-A's With a great deal of depth in the distance and middle distance events, the 1956 edition of the Lion freshman indoor track squad is di recting its practice towards the coming IC4A races Saturday, Feb. 25. Although the frosh will enter the medley race—the only event open for freshman competition— Coach Norm Gordon's yearlings are working at a fast pace in hope of making the four-man medley team. The medley squad will consist of a half-miler, a quarter-miler, a 220 sprint man, and a miler. ' Strong in Mile, Half-Mile Gordon cited the material he has to choose from in selecting his mile and half-mile entries. Gordon named Ed Moran, Clem Schoenebeck, Fred Kerr, Bob Thompson, and Charlie King—all stars of last season's winning frosh cross country team—as the chief competitors for the mile and half favor of Pierre. Steve Szabo will probably get the call at 177 with the possibility that he may be shifted to the heavyweight spot. If this occurs then Butch Robinson will be moved in to take Szabo's place. Three other men can be thrown in the heavy slot. But having the inside track is - Bob Alexander, who has a 1-1-1 record. Joe Sa ban, who lost his only match this year, and Wayne Makel, who drew in his only match, are the other two alternates that can move into the heavy spot.

The frosh miler, whom Gordon described as a tough luck runner in high school, doubled as a quar ter and half-miler before entering the University. Schoenebeck Improved Turning to Schoenebeck, Gor don said, "He has come a long way since the beginning of the year. Most of his improvement has come in that he has gained con fidence. "Schoenebeck, who graduated from State College High School, lacked confidence because he had never come up against any big time competition before," . Gordon continued. "This is a common problem for runners who make the jump from high school to college running," Gordon explained.

In speaking of Kerr, Gordon said, "He is a good, dependable runner—a hard worker. He per forms better in actual competition than he does in practice." According to Gordon, Kerr makes up what he lacks in skill with sheer determination. Bob Thompson, Charlie King, and Jay Kirby were described by the frosh coach as "better than average distance men who arc capable of making the medley squad." Dick Driswalt and Bob Man ning, along with Dick Morse, head the list of contenders for the 220 and quarter-mile entries. How ever, there are still others in con tention, Gordon emphasized.
