Another out standing performer is Szypula of Temple who defeated Zimmerman by two points in capturing the' event in last year's tourney. Senft should have his hands full when he enters the rope climb Sat urday against Cox of Navy and Cadet Watkins of Army. Both con tenders, have lowered their time to the 3.8 and-3.9 mark.

BUY DEFENSE STAMPS AND BONDS THE DAILY COLLEGIAN Princeton's Warren Taylor, sur prise winner last year, will prob ably have 'the most difficult job of any of the champions in defending his title in the 136-pound division. Taylor is undefeated in five matches this year. In the dual meet with Penn State he has de feated Clair Hess, 9-4. Hess spot ted him ten pounds, however. Mickey Bennet, Navy's titlist in the 155-pound spot, is also unde feated in eastern competition. He lost a match to Wempe of Kansas State earlier in the season, how ever, in an intersectional meeting. Bennet decisioned State's Glenn Alexander, 3-2, earlier in the sea son. The loss was one of two suf fered by Alexander this year. Navy and Army .entered the Eastern Intercollegiate Wrestling Association for the first time last year. Oddly enough, the 'two serv ice teams have never met before in dual competition. . In tournament last year this trend semed destined to continue until Bennet drew Army's Welles in the finals. Bennet defeated Welles for the championship. Strongest challenger to Bennet's hopes Ici ra repeat victory is Penn's Andy Melguard. Bennet has al ready gained .a decision over Mel gard earlier this season, however. - Penn's Di Battista, at 175 pounds, is in a class• by himself, and thus far has no serious• challenger. Dick is one of the big reasons why Penn has been established a heavy pre tourney favorite to capture the eastern intercollegiate champion ships here this wekend. Only a junior, Di Battista has run up a string of 71 consecutive victories to remain undefeated dur ing his wrestling carerr. Last year he won the Eastern and National titles in the 175-pound class, and is regarded by many as the outstand ing grappler in the country. He has already defeated-eight of the ten grapplers entered in his di vision htis year.

Although the Quakers have only one defending cham pion, 175-pound Dick Di Battista, the Philadelphians boast a squad packed with potential title-hold ers. Penn State and Navy are con sidered to be the only teams which may upset the Quakers although last year's co-champion, Princes ton, will be greatly strengthened by Warren Taylor, defending tital ist, in the 136-pound division.

However, the second and third places that Penn State is expected to capture along with any first place titles may be enough to nose out the Middies. Bill Levering of Penn, who was 136-pound titalist two years ago and who placed third in that weight last season, is the favorite at 145. Lion Captain Glenn Alex ander, who has wrestled most of his bouts in the 155-pound class is considered a formidable chall enger along with Joe Mount of Cornell s and Glenn Ingwerson of Army.
