Five lettermen make up the nucleus of this Year's version of the Army mat squad. Coach Lloyd Appleton, begin ning his 14th season with the Army, will probably stick with the same lineup that pulled out the win over Syracuse. Bob Karns, a sophomore who has been undefeated since he started out with the freshman team last year, will be Apple ton's starter at 123. Pat !Brian will probably follow him at 130. In the '137 pound class, the Black and Gold will probably send Dick Wasson to the mats and follow up with Dan Myers in 147. Don Swygert, who finished fourth in the Easterns last year. will be at 157. Mulder at 167 Army captain Dean Mulder, un defeated this year, w,gl grapple in 167 for the Kaydets. Mulder last year jumped back and forth between 157 and 167 but wrestled at the heavier weight in the East erns and finished third. An ex-Pennsylvania scholastic champion, Al Paulekas, of Farrell, will probably take over in the 177 pound match. Paulekas, like his teammate Karns, was unde feated in his freshman year and also this season. Army's heavyweight will prob ably be J. D. Kimmel, a 220- pounder who played defensive tackle for Coach Earl Blaik's fogtball team this season and was placed on the Nittany Lions' Football all-opponent team.
