Grapplers Face Lehigh In Top Eastern Test
Lions Send Five
Veterans Against
Strong Engineers
By GEORGE GLAZER
Wrestling will enter the winter
sports picture for the first time
tomorrow night when the Nittany
matmen take on Lehigh’s grap
plers in the first half of a double
header in Rec hall. The match
will start at 7 p.m.
The Engineers, who edged out
the Lions, 29-28, last year in the
Eastern intercollegiates, will
bring with them one eastern
champion and two runners-up.
George Feurebach became Le
high’s first 128-pound eastern
Intercollegiate Wrestling Associa
tion champion when he took the
title at Princeton last year. In
addition, Coach Billy Sheridan
will- have co-captains Mike Fili
pos and John Mahoney. Filipos
lost the 121-pound title. he had
won in 1949 as a sophomore to
Bob Gerbino, of Syracuse, last
year. Lion captain Jim Maurey
gained his title in the 147-pound
class last year at the expense
of Mahoney. Maurey got the title
on a referee’s decision.
Prep School Champ
Bill Carlisle, a sophomore, will
probably go for the Engineers in
the 137-pound class. Carlisle, who
was a national champion in prep
school, lost his first collegiate
match when he yas pinned in
Lehigh’s first meet of the season
with Cornell.
Ed Mahoney, no relation to
John, is Sheridan’s probable
choice at 157. Mahoney, also a
sophomore, won a decision in the
Cornell match, as did Pete Mur
phy in the 167 class. Tom Dim
mig came out on the short end
of a decision in the 177-pound
division.
Heavyweight Don Berndt, who
pinned his Big Red opponent,
received a varsity letter in 1949,
arid faced State’s 1951 captain
Homer Barr that year. Last year
he saved a year of eligibility
when he dropped out to make
room for Gus LaSasso, who
eventually lost to Barr in the
Easterns.
State last year defeated the
Engineers to bring the log be
tween the two schools to 21 wins
for the Nittanies against 10 losses
and 2 ties.
Of the Lions in competition
this year, Johnny Reese, Don
Maurey, Bill Santel, Mike Rubino
and Barr came up with wins in
last year’s match. Reese de
cisioned Filipos, Maurey decision
ed Dick Kelsey, 1948-’49 eastern
champion who was graduated,
Sprite! decisioned Murphy, F.u
bipo pinned Phil Donatelli and
Barr decisioned LaSasso. For
Lehigh, John Mahoney pinned
Jim Maurey, Feurebach pinned
Dean Harbold and Erik Erickson,
who also was graduated, decision
ed Cece Irvin.
Nittany Card Uncertain
Mat coach Charlie Speidel is
still uncertain about his complete
starting lineup. The only definite
starters are Don Maurey, 137;
sophomore Don Frey, 147; Ru
bino, 177, and Barr, heavyweight.
In the 123-pound class, letter
man Reese and newcomers Harry

Penn State’s basketball men
will have their work cut out for
them again tomorrow night when
a high-flying quintet from Col
gate invades Rec hall to tangle
with the Nittany Lion cagers.
Runner-up to North Cardlina
State in the Dixie Classic over the
Christmas holidays, Colgate has
posted a record of six wins and
three losses against some - of the
best competition in the East.
The Red Raiders hold wins over
Duke, NYU, Navy, Toronto, St.
Lawrence, and Rider. The win
over Navy in the Dixie Classic
knocked the Midshipmen from
the ranks of the undefeated.
The only teams the Raiders
have lost to are Cornell, Prince
ton, and North Carolina State.
Cornell and Princeton are unde
feated.
The College will operate a re
freshment bar in Recreation hall
for all indoor athletic events, it
has been announced. The bar will
sell soft drinks beginning with
tomorrow's wrestling and basket
ball bill. Penn State athletes will
man the bar.
Last season the Lions split in
two games with Colgate. After
losing a 68-67 overtime game in
Rec hall, the Lions defeated the
Raiders on their home -court, 72-
57.
Coach Howard Hartman can
boast one of the hottest shooting
aggregations in the country. The
Raiders were shooting at a 42
per cent clip prior to the Dixie
tournament.
Two of the starters on the Col
gate squad, Bill Dodd and Joe
Stratton are shooting at a 49.2
percentage. Dave Alton, a star of
last year’s team, is shooting at a
4E>.B clip and is averaging 15.8
points per contest.
Hartman will probably start
Alton, Stratton, Dodd, Dan War
ren, and . Ted Stacy against the
Lions tomorrow night.
Nittany Lion coach Elmer Gross
will shakeup his starting line
up in an attempt to stop the high
scoring Raider team.
Three of the Penn State “iron
men” will get a much needed
rest. Captain Lou Lamie, Ted
Panopolos, and Hardy Williams
will not be in the starting lineup
against the Raiders.
Gross will start a first five
composed of Tiny McMahan, Jun
ie Moore, Joe Pioroko.wski, Dick
Phillips and Herm Sledzik.
