PRINCETON, N.J. —After capturing the highest honor
in Eastern Intercollegiate wrestling here Saturday, Penn
State’s three-time team winner will endeavor to take col
legiate’s greatest tribute on the mats March 27-28 when it
battles for national honors, ~~ "
In capturing the Eastern title
for the third successive year,
Coach Charlie Speidel’s matmen

plish the feat since 1921 when the

157—KEN HUNT, Cornell

•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

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.

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.

Sidelights
By SAM PROCOPIO
Although Penn State wrestlers
didn’t receive the warmest recep
tion at the EIWA tournament,
they did receive some fine. com
pliments from the sports. re
porters.
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
