In Hard Baffle
By HERB ZUKAUSKAS
Muscling, twisting, and riding
their way through punishing quar
ter finals last night, seven title
hungry Nittany Lions fought their
way through the first day of a
gruelling two-day battle to enter
the ,largest representation in the
EIWA semi-finals starting at 2 p.
m. today. .
Andrew Turnbull, Princeton
155-pound standout, proved to be
the Penn State jinx when he man
aged to edge out John Henry, 11-
10. The decisive point which pre
vents the • Nittany men • from en
tering a full team this . afternoon
was 'gained -on time advantage. •
Captain Glen aiexander pro
vided the outstanding bout for
Lion fans . when he completely
Man 7 handled Penn's Andrew Mel
gard for a 10-4 victory in a bat
tle marked by Penn . State aggres
siveness. Although both men were
evenly. matched in strong-arming,
Alexander's furious drives led to
scoring positions 'as the crowd
backed him as the favorite in the
match.
Alexander will. ineet Jim HOI

Ridenour, exhibited h'_43 usual dom

dan Bannon .of Lehigh and car
ried off a 6-2 victory. Bannon,.
however, • finished, •the match . with
a fury as he reversed and made
his only• attempt - for- a' pinning
hold- just •as • the gong' stopped '.the
bout.
Van Sant. Brewer, peppery
Princeton 'lightweight; :who threw•
Kuntze of Columbia, will be Ride
nour's next opponent prior to the,
finals when he will meet the win- .
ner of the Sparke-Samson bout. •
In the 128-pound .claSh, Sam
Harry scored the first fall for the .
Lions. as he 'pushed Robert Kener
son of Cornell all over the mats.
After working for an entire period'
