Lion Matmen Keep Up
With Wrestling's Best
By SAM PROCOPIO
The really great wrestling powers in the country—Oklahoma, Oklahoma A&IVI,
Penn State—invariably stay at the top of the pack year in and year out.
This weekend at Norman, Okla., where approximately 50 colleges and universities
will compete for national team and individual honors, the prestige of the afore
mentioned schools will remain as high as ever.
However, one will be able to enhance to the list of probable •title contenders two
faces—Michigan and Purdue. r
Although some experts failed to
I list Pitt among the top five, it
would almost be a crime not to
consider the Panthers. They are
1954 Eastern Intercollegiate cham
pions! They have beaten Penn
State! They do have two-time
defending 115-pound champion,
Hugh Peery!
If there is a reason to eliminate
Coach Rex Peery's EIWA cham
pions, it is because the University
of Pittsburgh does not have the
required depth. Where the Pan
thers are strong some of the other
colleges are stronger.
If Pitt has any chance to sur
vive 'as NCAA titlists, Peery's
matmen will have to elude—be 7
fore the semi-finals—such wrest
lers as Dick Lemyre and Jerry
Maurey of Penn State, Jim Ma
honey and Werner Seel of Le
high, Joe Gattuso and Pete Blair
of Navy in the East.
In the Midwest the Panthers
will have to get by Norvard
Nalan, Andy Kau I, and Dick
O'Shaughnessy of Michigan, Bob
Hoke and Vito Perrone of Mich
igan State. In the South there are
Robert an d Ernest Fischer of
Maryland, and in the West Gene
Nicks and Ned Blass of Okla
homa A&M, and Tommy Evans
of Oklahoma.
Penn State, NCAA defending
champs, is conceded 'a better than
even chance of copping honors
again, although the Lions were
dethroned in the 1954 EIWA tour
ney. Four of Penn State's six en
tries for this year's tourney were
members of last year's winners.
When the Nittany Lions won the
NCAA crown last year at Reel
Hall, it marked the first time in
the sport's history that an East
ern team won the tournament.
Although Oklahoma A&M will
probably be named as tournament
favorite, there are Michigan and
Purdue to consider' too.

and Jim Blocker iced the game.
In all, the Lions had a shooting
percentage of better than 40 per
cent, almost clouble their Friday
night figure. They scored 27 field
goals, ten better than the Trojans
but fell short on free throw points,
27-16.
Arnelle with 25, Weidenhammer
with 12, and Haag with nine
points, led the Lion scoring. How
ever, excellent floor play by Jim
Brewer and Sherry was a decid
ing factor in the game.
Arnelle, incidentally, shattered
another Penn State scoring record
when he bettered his own season
scoring mark set in 1952. His 25
points brought his total scoring for
the year to 507, topping the old
record of 492. In five tournament
games, the big center tossed in
102 points.
To all appearances the Lions
were a completely different team
against the Trojans than the team
that bowed to La Salle the night
before. The now-famous "Gross
zone" worked smoothly and kept
Trojan shots outside. At the same
time their offensive attack, par
ticularly in the first half, worked
smoothly and shots fell from all
angles.
The win brought the season
mark to 18-6—second only to the
1952 record of 20-4.
