His lime Grapplers"Big 8' Is Raiders' Problem Although the Big Red of Cornell possess one of the most out standing wrestlers in the business in Frank Bettucci, co-captain and Eastern Intercollegiate champion, the Ithacans will have a tough battle on their hands this Saturday in New York. In fact, they will be confronted with most of Penn State’s unbeaten octette. And too, among the unblemished eight are Coach Charlie Spei del’s three EIWA champions—Bob Homan, and Dick and Joe Lemyre. Joe, who is co-captain, is also NCAA champion. Included with the ’undefeated EIWA champs are Jerry Maurey, Don Frey, Larry Fomicola, Bill Krebs, and Bill Shawley. To this date, it has been the excellent skill and performance of these men that has kept the Lions’ eastern prestige and record intact. Homan, who wrestles on one knee, has not only confused foes early in the dual meets but has given Penn State that early punch in four out of four matches, gaining wins via decisions and a pin. Against Penn he did not wrestle the opening encounter. He fol lowed Doug Cassel, however, in the 130-pound class with his second fall of the campaign. Reaching the ultimate aim in wrestling with three falls, Speidel’s rugged Maurey has yet to see one point scored against him. His other win, a 10-0 decision, could have ended in a fall but Maurey had to concentrate on keeping his Lehigh foe from running off the mat. Maurey will be seeking his tenth dual meet win against Cornell. Dick Lemyre claims the longest winning streak with 11. Dick’s brother, Joe, is looking forward to his seventh straight win and his tenth unbeaten dual meet.' Bellefonte’s Fornicola and co-captain Don Frey have four un beaten dual meet victories. Frey, however, has not tasted a defeat in nine matches. Krebs and Shawley have performed only once but have done exceptionally well. Shawley’s win was a fall. 1 Tuxedo | I Rentals 1 Homan Early Punch Dick Lemyre's Streak Longest lapels, casual lines, lightweight fabrics add up to comfort and good looks.' $47.50 l||i Look better, feel better . . .

Heavy Slated The high-riding gymnasts, strojng after their‘first Eastern Inter collegiate Gymnastics Association team title in five years, went through a full practice session yesterday at Rec Hall, as Coach Gene Wettstone issued a “no letdown” practice ultimatum for the re maining workouts of the week. The gym Lions, in dropping beaten Saturday, all but elimin ated’ their top competition for the Eastern title this year. But Wett stone is not one to take things for granted. ' Syracuse, unbeaten in EIGA play and only conqueror of the defending Black' Knights of. Army in the last three seasons, looms as the next Eastern hurdle that- the Wettstonemen must take on the road to the team crown. Syracuse earlier this season dumped the Cadets, 53-43. r /. Schwenzfeier Top Man The Lions will meet the Orange gymnasts Saturday at Syracuse. Syracuse is also undefeated in Eastern play. Meanwhile, the pleasant mem ory of upending the Middies at their home gym still lingers. Sophomore Karl Schwenzfeier, top point-producer for the Nit tanies with ten points, included his surprise first on the flying rings. Midshipman Hal Lewis, al though displaced on the parallel bars and involved in a tie for second on the rings, still was high man of the day. He tufned in a near-perfection 284 on the horizontal bar among his 1114 points. Four Slams Jan Cronstedt, who earlier in the meet fell from the H-bar, came back strong on the parallel bars (at a time when the Lions were trailing by eight joints) with a 281 total good for first place.

Hazen, the man of the hour, gave up some harder routine to pre serve the Nittany edge, and, at that, his cutdown performance was still underrated.
