and Franny Rogel, and two line
men, End Sam Tamburo and
Guard Joe Drazenovich, on the
first team.
This is the first time since 1943
that one school has had two back
field performers awarded first
team berths. Penn was the last
team to achieve this when Joe
Kane and Bob O’Dell won this
honor.
The rest of the first squad was
’ comprised of Bill
P PN McPeak of Pitt
J. Drazenovich Tokarczyk, at
guard, and the
All-America Chuck Bednarik, of
Penn, at center. Bednarik won
this honor for the third straight
year, a feat never accomplished
before.
Besides Petchel and Rogel, the
backfield included Dan Towler
of Washington and Jefferson and
Billy Doherty of Villanova. Tow
ler was a repeated from last
year’s team.
John Simon Was awarded a
second-team guard spot and Neg

each were named to third-team
tackle and halfback posts, respec
tively. End Bob Hicks, Guard
Paul Kelly, center Chuck Beatty

Leading the Way in the 121-
pound class is Captain Schdutz.
Schautz won three bouts and lost
two during the past season. Ex
pected to give Schautz plenty Of
trouble is newcopner John Reese,
who also is a possibility for the
128-pound post left vacant by
Harry Smith. Smith is now in pre
flight training with the Navy Air
Corps.
Letterman Don Arbudkle’s 136-
pound position is threatened by
A 1 Fasnacht, but Jim Maurey
should reign supreme in the 145-
Eound class. Maurey owned the
est record of any Lion grappler
last season, winning six bouts,
four by falls, and bowing only to
Navy’s Eastern Intercollegiate
title-holder, John Fletcher. Mau
rey was also runner-up to Fletcher
in the Eastern Intercollegiate
Wrestling Association tourna
ment. Bill Thomson is currently
faced with the task of attempting
to oust Maurey.
The 155-pound division is cur
rently wide open. Laird Robert
son has been forced to drop but
of school and thus leaves the
weight class open to four men,
Mickey' Silverman, Aubrey Mc-
Ilvaine, George Thomas and Lee
Perna.
HETRICK BACK
The experienced Bob Hetrick,
out part of last season with an
injured shoulder, leads the 165-
pound, class candidates, followed
by Johnny Peters, who wrestled
for the Blue add White as a
Marine trainee.
Bob Markle and Bill Garrison
will battle it out with “Spider”
Corman for the 175-pound honors.
Wally Chambers, Homer Barr arid
George Echert are the pdtential
starters in the heavyweight divi
sion, which has a shortage of per
formers.
The grapplers open their sche
dule on January 8, meeting
Princeton in an away tussle. The
Speidelmen will be seeking re
venge for the 14-13 defeat suf
fered at the hands of- the Tigers
last season.
