EIWA CHAMPIONS 123— ALEX McCOKD, Lehigh 130—DICK LEMYRE, Penn State 137—JEKRY MAUBEY, Penn State 147—FRANK BETTUCCI, Cornell 157—KEN HUNT, Cornell 167—DON DICKASON, Cornell 177— AL PAULEKAS, Army Hwt.—WERNER SEEL, Lehigh •Penn State’s winning total was 31 points. Following the three time champs in order were Cor nell with 25 points, Lehigh 22, Army 18, Syracuse 13, and Navy 12. Only three of the five individ ual defending champions survived the 49th annual tournament. Both 1952 winners are from Penn State —Bob Homan at 123 pounds and Joe Lemyre at 167 pounds. Although there were several other major upsets, these two were the most stunning. Joe Lemyre was dethroned in the semi-finals when he lost to Don Diekason of Cornell on referee Dick Dißattista’s decision. While Speidel’s sensational sophomore, Homan, was upset in the quarter finals by Art Helf of Franklin and Marshall. Top-seeded Lemyre proved Di- Battista was wrong in his decision when State’s barrel-chested 167- pounder won over second-seeded Dana Eastham of Brown in the consolation bouts, 7-4. Eastham was good on the switch but couldn’t outmaneuver Lemyre. In the finals Dick Lemyre Dr. Paul F.

See Mr. Leetch, placement director, for placement on interview schedule. By SAM PROCOPIO showed that he 'is in a class all by himself when he decisioned second-seeded Art Jesser, 14 T 4. The slick and slippery Lemyre ap peared to use his opponents as a toy in winning his second title. All he did was pin Ed Morrison of Lehigh in 3:44, decision George Mulligan of Rutgers, 13-5, and de cision Bob Mead of Yale 18-6. Seven of the 11 points scored against Lemyre _ were “free” es capes. He would’let his adversar ies escape only for a takedown in return. Jerry Maurey, whose pin as sured the Lions of at least a tie for the team title, clinched State’s third crown by winning the 137- pound title. He thus became the third Maurey to win individual honors. Jim and Don were win ders in 1950 and 1951. The classy 137-pounder of Clearfield scored all his triumphs by -falls. Maurey made his runnerup, Charles De- Bellis observe Dillon Gymnasium’s lights with a half nelson and crotch hold in 8:09 to win the title. (Continued on page seven) THE DAILY COLLEGIAN. STATE COLLEGE, PENNSYLVANIA ATTENTION! Army, Air Force, Navy Graduating ROTC Seniors I. GOLDBERG & CO. PHILADELPHIA, PENNA. will display military uniforms at the NITTANY LION INN today, March 17th from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. 3d Straight H azeri, Lawrence, Cronstedt Score EIGA Victories ■The Lion gymnasts, after putting on one of the greatest shows of sheer strength ever seen in EIGA tourney play, settled down for the first of. many full workouts yesterday in preparation for the coming Nationals. Coach Gene Wettstone’s Eastern champs are scheduled tenta tively for workouts all this week and up until Wednesday of next. The Nationals will be held March '27-28 at Syracuse. At West Point last weekend, Wettstone’s very solid Eastern team champions left no doubt in anyone’s mind in the two-day pro ceedings as to who the kingpins were as they came home with 10 out of a possible 24 medals and two out of four trophies in the all around Olympian competition. Three Lions copped individual first-place medals. They were Bobby Lawrence in the sidehorse, Jan Cronstedt in the parallel bars, and Jim Hazen in the flying rings. All-around trophies went to Cronstedt for first place and to Karl Schwenzfeier for third. Cronstedt successfully defended his all-around crown, while Schwenzfeier moved up a notch from 1952’s fourth-place finish. Other medal winners were Syracuse’s Jim Sebbo in the tumb ling; Hal Lewis of Navy in the horizontal bar, and John Ballantyne and Bill Renner of Army in the rope climb. . Sebbo, now a sophomore, successfully defended his tumbling crown, as did Lewis and Ballantyne in their respective fields. Lewis technically was a horizontal bar champion although Cronstedt won the crown last season. Lewis took the ’5l version and then was forced to sit out last year’s play because of a broken leg received in a mid-season dual meet, Ballantyne, for the-second year in succession, had to settle for a tie for the rope climb title. Last season Ballantyne shared the crown with Cadet John Claybrook with a 3.6 time—this year, same story—a two-way tie for first with another Cadet—Renner—w i t h a 3.6 clocking.' The Lions swept the sidehorse event. It was the first time, in the 26 years of the Eastern tourney that one club finished its perform ers in any event one-two-three. Behind Lawrence on the sidehorse came Frank Wick and Tony Pro copio. The Lions ran one-two-four in the parallel bars, Schwenzfeier just getting nipped for third by three points by Temple’s Bob McCartney. A 1 Wick finished second behind medal winner Cronstedt. The horizontal bar competition, in which the two champs from two different years were defending, produced the top thrills of the tourney. Lewis turned in a 291 to claim the 1953 crown. Lewis’ total beat Cronstedt by a single point.

While scrutinizing the seeding lifet in the locker room, oiieire.- porter \ exclaimed; “This Penn State team is tops. No one will beat them.” Then during the finals, the Bethlehem Globe Times sports reporter said: "Penn Stale is the only team that .actually wres-. ties." ★ ★ ★ Penn State’s grapplers will' be able to prove this and more td Rec .Hall fans during the Na tionals March 27-28. But as far as Eastern Intercol legiate wrestling competition: is concerned, Rec Hall fans will'hot observe the three-time champs until 1955. Next year’s tourna ment will be held at Cornell Uni versity, Ithaca, N.Y. The EIWA, the oldest inter collegiate wrestling league in existence, almost saw the Nii iany- Lions 'performing the un believable. Had the Lions, cap tured as many titles as had been expected. Penn . Stale would have had five. This would have been the most by any team since the Lions performed: the. unheard' of feat of winning six of the seven .individual titles in 1918. It was the year Penn State entered the league. A question confronting most of the 49th Annual Eastern Intercol legiate wrestling tournament was: Does ,a defending champion de serve the decision in a draw?: This situation came, about when Joe Lemyre, 167 - pound defending champ, and Don Dickason of Cor nell battled to a 2-2 draw. Lemyre was leading his Cor nell opponent early in the first period when he took Dickason down. In the second period. Dickason escaped from Lemyre's hold. It was during this period that Lemyre chose the advan tage position, wrestling from the referee's position; The' third (Continued on page seven) ■[6* Mouse DINNERS 5 toB DAILY (EXCEPT SUN; ■a;'fe e : af • cif ’ • ?.Q.
