lineup Shift
Nets Decisive
Mat Victory
By SAL SALX
Crtnch Charlie Spcidel’s surprise
last-minute lineup change netted the
NiLtany Lion grapplers their first vicr
tory .of the season Saturday - when
they cleared''the mats in Rec hall
with the Cornell wrestlers, 25-5. 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.
' • Zazzi Wins First Match'
The most enlightening and .encour
aging- event of the evening was the
return to -form of Zipper Zazl The
Zipper went on the 'mat Saturday
“cold,”/ having been -idle since the
Michigan meet three wbeks ago.
Weighing in at 150,‘ Zaz easily de
feated : his " heavier opponent to win
his.first’match of the year.
King opened theNincet against his
former‘ Ilaverford' schoolmate, Math-.
ers.< Holding a slight advantage over
Mathers, King; in ;an effort to-place
the; Ithacan in a throwing-position,
rolled.onihis back and pinned.himself
with,26.seconds of the'bout left.
Crajghend kept the advantage
throughout his tilt 'with Blackmore
who' was saved being pinned by the
gong. "Frank had a half-nelson,and
bar'ahd.was pressing- his opponent’s
shoulders to the mat when the match
ended. Reynolds was. the complete
mastdr *of “Rusty” Oaks, but only
after/the Big Red hoy lost an early
advantage. -
Shmukler Gains Decision
The 145-pound match worked itself
into slow-motipn .in the last two min
utes, .both -Shmukler and Gerry Oaks
being too tired to wrestle. 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. Wrestling John'Sie
gal .in the IGS-pound class, 1 'Priolo
took the offense for the first three
minute period and held - thetfadvnn
tage until 30 seconds of the period.
Priolo reversed quickly into a neu
tral position in the second period, the
bout ending with both boys on their
feet'.
. Kiehl forfeited the 175rpound meet
to Bachman because of sickness to
give State a 5-po:nt gift. .Shaffer lost
no time in tripping his 220-pound op
ponent who “knew two holds and was
going in to learn something.” Shaf
fer rode Hemingway before pinning
him in 5:50.

round and stayed away from him.
Heber Lcssig, acclaimed by the.
Syracuse papers as State’s “knocks

sion to southpaw Bob Griffith of Syr

To Trounce Gymnasts
Sweeping first place in every
event, Army's gymnastic team deci
sively trimmed the 1 Lion squad at
West Point last Saturday, 45-9. The
setback was the second in four meets
for the BisehofT outfit.
The Suite rope climbers,' Julian
Parton and Charley Gillespie, ac
counted for four of the total of nine
points by exhibiting their early sea
son form to take second and third
place respectively. A 1 Kligman cap
tured second place on the side horse
and Ray Runkte continued to chalk
up markers with third place in. tum
bling and on the horizontal bar.
