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.
