Hot on Heels
Of Brothers
The fans attending the Virginia-
Penn State State wrestling match
Saturday roared their approval
when the time ,of Captain Jim
Maurey's first period fall was an
nounced at 1:18.
A few minutes previously, Jim's
younger brother Don had pinned
his Cavalier foe in the first, per
iod, too. But 136-pound Don,
making his first appearance for
Penn State, had somehow wasted
time and it took him 1:19 to
touch his opponent's shoulders
to the mat.
Perhaps the tale should end
here, but it doesn't, Wrestling for
- Clearfield High School the same
iclay was a sparkling 138-pounder.
His name? Jerry Maurey; and he
is the last of the Maurey wrest
' ling clan at Clearfield. Jerry, a
senior, is a three-time PIAA State
champion. He upheld the Maurey
tradition by pinning Boswell
High School's representative in
the first period. The time of the,
rail was 1:20.
