PAGE SIX Eight Enter 128 Entries Make Up EIWA Field By JAKE HIGHTON The eight Penn State wrestlers who have held starting roles since mid-season are faced with the dif fkult task of defending the Lions' 1951 EIWA title against the ad vances of a 15-squad, 120-man field when Eastern tourney pre liminaries get under way in Beth lehem tomorrow afternoon. Despite State's ruling as fav orites on the basis of being the only unbeaten team, Nitt any Coach Charlie Speidel recalls viv idly the 1942 Pennsylvania team which went into the tournament with a similar favorite role, but came out a poor also-ran. Potent Lineup Speidel's fears about a repeat of history are not without cause. This year's champion-dotted line up is so well spread that it is possible for eight schools to come off with individual champions. That possibility places great im portance on runnerup strength for team scoring. Penn State is expected to pack its biggest scoring punch into its four lower weight classes. This potent Nittany lineup of Bob Ho man, Dick Lemyre, Jerry Maurey and Don Frey between 123 and 147 pounds has only lost two bouts among them all year. Gerbino Big Hurdle Lemyre, (9-0) likely' to be top seeded by the committee of coach es tomorrow morning, is the only full-season regular without loss. Dick's chief competition figures to be from Temple's Cal Engle, third finisher last year and F&M frosh Bob Thomas, brother of ex- Navy star Don Thomas. Jim Ma honey, Lehigh, must also be con sidered despite an early season, 6-1, loss to the State soph. Frosh Homan (8-1) is up against 123 pound opposition from his only conquerer, Syracuse's 1950 champ, Bob Gerbino. and also Army's Bob Karns, Navy's Bob Sutley and third finisher last year, Harvard's unbeaten John Lee. Lee is NAAU 123 champ. Tough Opposition At 137, State's unbeaten Jerry Maurey (5-0) is up against one of the East's best, George Feuer bach, two-time 130-pound cham pion up a weight this year. Feuer bach has not lost at 137 this sea son but lost twice at 147, once to Nittany Don Frey. Others Jerry must beat if he is to retain the title in the Maurey family brother Don won last year but won't defend—are Col-: 'cambia's EIWA r u n n e rup Bob Hartman, Army's Jim Karns, Syr acuse's Bob Bury and F&M frosh from Bellefonte, Tom, Riglin. Don Frey, (6-1) Eastern runner up for the Lions, meets a rugged crew in defending champ Cor nell's Frank Bettucci, Ed Rooney, Syracuse's talented ace who beat Don, and 4 F&M's Ed Barnes. Won Straight The four upper weight classes for State, loser of seven this year, will find Doug Frey, Joe Lemyre, Hud Samson and Lynn Illing worth in divisions where three ex -champs return to defend. Frey (6-2) finished the season impressively with four straight wins at 157. Doug's biggest trou ble will come from two -ti m e champ, Rutger's Emil Perona, Le high's Ed Mahoney and Army's Don SWygert. Mahoney has not been beaten in nine matches al though tied by Swygert and Navy's John Godek. At 167 Joe Lemyre (6-2-1) will run into a class with champion George Graveson, Yale, Don Dick ason, Syracuse 177 runnerup last year :and an Army plebe Gerry Tebben who could upset every body. Glass at Heavyweight State's 177 pOunder Samson (7- 2) has three especially rough men to get past. Army's unbeaten Al Paulekas, Navy's Pete Blair and Rutger's nay Vohden. all ar e highly ra'.ed.
