Injuries Dampen Hopes
fir Wrestling Victory
That old nemesis, injury, has firmly entrenched itself in Coach
Charlie Speidel's wrestling camp this week and has scattered into
the winds the Nittanies' hopes for a victory over Lehigh in Rec Hall
Saturday.
Johnny Reese, 121-pound matman, reported to
day with his arm in a sling, and will definitely be
for the big meet with Coach Billy
Sheridan's Engineers.
UNBEATEN
Reese has gone undefeated this
season. In his last outing at Syra
cuse, he drew with the highly
touted Orange grappler, Jim Fog
arty.
Jim Maurey, ace 145-pounder,
whose absence was keenly felt
in the Syracuse loss, is still re
cuperating from his knee injury
and will not see action against the
Sheridanmen. Maur e y , who
teamed with heavyweight Homer
Barr as the Dons' "Pin Pair,"
won three straight bouts by falls
before injury forced him to bow
out in favor of Larry Shallcross
last week.
VETERAN TEAM
Lehigh brings a veteran team
int the .Lions' Lair—a team that
has racked up five wins against
a single setback. The Engineers
have triumphed over Rutgers,
Penn, Washington & Lee
(the reigning Southern Con
ference champions), Yale and
Army, while suffering a 14 - 13
setback at the hands of Cornell.
Some of the glamour of the Cor
nell win over the Brown and
White was dampened when East
ern champions Dick Kelsey and
Jim Jackson failed to apear in
the lineup.
Lehigh's mat forces are cap
tained by Ed Erikson, 1947 EIWA
165-pound titlist. Last year Erik
son lost to Syracuse's Pascal Perri
in the tournament finials. His
younger brother, Eric, also a run
ner-up in last year's tourney, will
wrestle at 155-pounds.
Gymnasts---

a meet that will probably be de
cided by few points one way or
the other."
If Coach Wettstone's grapevine
report is corect, the reason is ob
vious. Last year's NCAA, NAAU
and Eastern Intercollegiate title
holders, the Nittany Lions have
not been beaten in intercollegiate
competition since 1944.
A win for the Orangemen
would be a feather in their cap
and would probably insure Ro
•meo's charges a successful season.
The Syracusans have already
met three of the top gymnastic
teams in the East and have come
through with one victory.
After losses to Army and Tem
ple, the Syracuse gymnasts finally
managed to break into the win
column with a victory over Navy
last week.
The Lions inaugurated their
1949 season Monday night with a
win over Michigan State's Spar
tans at East Lansing, Michigan.
Gym Mentor Wettstone ex
pressed pleasure over the man
ner in which his team downed the
Spartans after falling behind
after the first two events.
"The performance of the entire
squad, and of Bill Bonsall and
Mike Kurowski in particular, was
very satisfying. I was well pleas
ed at the way they came from be
hind after dropping the first two
events," the bespectacled coach
said.
The physical condition of the
squad is good with the exception
of a tired feeling after the long
train ride. The necessity of an
other trip so close on the heels
of the East Lansing tour may find
the Lions at a disadvantage Sat
turday night in Archbold gymna
sium.

Drops Into 3-Way Deadlock
Kappa Sigma's resounding crash from the ranks of the un
beaten, a 25-15 loss to Theta Kappa Phi on the Rec Hall boards,
turned fraternity league "E" into the tightest race in intramural
basketball Tuesday night.
With Walt Sapp, their pointmaker deluxe, held to a playful one
point, the Kappa Sigs dragged their feet through both periods and
looked anything like the squad
that had led the circuit with five
wins and no loss
Bill Whalen, supplying nine
counters for the victorious Theta
Kappa Phi five, won high point
honors for the contest.
TIES
Kappa Sigma and Theta Kappa
Phi are tied with Beta Sigma Rho
in the circuit race, all boasting
five wins and one loss.
Meanwhile, the two bigwigs of
independent league "A." the
Smooth Schmoos and Q. Quintet,
clashed in the battle that rocked
IM circles. Making a 15-10 first
half lead last, the Q'ers thumped
out their sixth straight win, 21-14,
to take over unqualified control
of the circuit.
