The Statemetf won eveiy.match except the, opener. Keeping both possible heavyweight contenders, Bill • Ell wood and Ernie Bortz, on the bench', Speidcl moved his -wrestlers up a weight beginning j with the 145-pound class. Thus, Capt. Ross Shaffer tackled the'heavyweight division; Don Bachman, whose bout was .defaulted, 175; Steve Priolo, 165; and Alda Zazzi, 155. Herman Slimuk lor, sophomore in his first varsity role, filled in the 145-pound gap va cated ..by Zazzi. Speidel’ kept Carl King, 115-pounder; told. Bob .Rey- at their regular positions while ’Frank Craighead replaced his brother Johir in the 125-pound'class.

Shmukler took -thej.advantage .early, in -the Jfcray. but Oaks',-quickly toolc the top. The State .-sophomore looked ns. though he was-ready to' give’up as Oaks switch ed to gain, the advantage. But Shmuk ler; worked into ,a neutral position and then grabbed legs to bring the Ithacan down and give another 3 points. In the slowest bout of the meet,- Steve Priolo came through, to gain his first'victory.
