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.

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

Eastern title this year. But Wett

for granted. '

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.
