Power-Packed Lehigh
Biggest Mat Threat
Penn State’s once-beaten wrestlers, who registered their fourth win over Army, 28-8 Saturday at
Rec Hall, should seriously'study their next opponent—Lehigh University—which will be the Lions’ last
home season mat opponent Saturday at Rec Hall.,
Lehigh has swept through six of its seven opponents with such devastating power that only
one—Pitt—has even been in contention for victory. Lehigh’s most recent 32-0 shutout against* Syracuse
last weekend gives an indication of what the Lions’ will be tampering with come Saturday.
Resides an unbeaten team rec
ord to date, the Engineers include
four of their matmen in the un
•defeated category. Dave Bates,
sophomore 137 pounder, who
wrestled one bout in the heavier
division; Ken Faust, captain, who
won bouts at 137, 147, and 157
pounds: and Ed Eichelberger, 147
and 157, and Werner Seel, heavy
weight,
Eichelberger has notched the
most notable individual win this
season with his defeat of Syracuse
157 pound Eastern champ, Ed
Rooney.
If Penn State, however, can
muster a similar amount of mat
strength that it showed against
Army Saturday night when it
scored five pins in winning six of
eight bouts then Lehigh will have
its hands full.
Sid Nodland, Captain Bob Ho
man, and Larry Fomicola re
mained undefeated. After Nod
land, 123-pound sophomore, and
Homan registered ten points for

been in the EIGA only one year
they intend to be troublesome.
The Panthers are only in their
second year of intercollegiate
competition.
Navy, who lost to Penn State,
romped over the Panthers 72*24.
Scores do not count wheh the
Lions and the Panthers tangle,
however, for competition between
these two clubs is probably, more
fierce than any other two teams
in the East.
The gym team returns home
this weekend to play host to the
Temple Owls on Saturday after
noon. In last year’s meet with
the’Owls, the Lions’ victory net
ted them the Eastern Champion
ship. Saturday’s meet will be the
final home appearance for the
gymnastic team.

the Lions with two straight pins,
Fomicola stepped up and dropped
cocky Pete Fikaris, 5-1. Fikaris de
feated Fomicola last year at Ar
my, 12-5.
Lion 147-pounder Dave Adams
pushed the Lions’ lead to 18 points
when he pinned Russ Harris with
a cradle at 2:11.
Army picked up eight points
by earning a three-point decision
win at 157 pounds and five points
at 167 pounds when Len McNeal
was pinned. Dale Ward, however,
had to go the distance with Joe
Humphreys to finally get the 4-3
decisions, and McNeal gamely
fought off Tebben, Army’s Cap
tain, for more than six minutes.
The Lions’ final ten points were
picked up by Joe Krufka, 177
pounder who pinned John Nichol
son in 7:13 with a three-quarter
nelson, and heavy Bill Oberly.
Oberly’s five-pointer came at 4:09
when he caught Freeman Cross
with a double arm bar and a cross
body.

IC4A
Li&i track coach Chick Werner yesterday named his line
up for Saturday’s IC4A championships, hoping that his 16-
man squad will be able to cop its first indoor title since 1942.
An injury to ace hurdler Rod Perry could prove to be a
damaging blow to the Lions’ championship hopes. Perry is
currently in the University Hospital with a bruised heel, and
if he competes in the IC4A run for the roses he will be doing
so without having had any practice for two weeks.
Bill Youkers and Gary Seybert
will round out the Nittany trio of
hurdlers for the title meet.
Art Pollard, Jack Morin, and
Harry Mitchell will be used by
Werner in the dash events. Last
season Pollard upset defending
sprint champion Bob Keegan of
Seton Hall but finished a close
second to Penn’s Johnny Haines
in the 60-yard run.
Morin Shows Promise
Morin showed a lot of promise
in the Feb. 12 quadrangular meet
at East Lansing, Mich., leading
Pollard for the first 200 yards of
the 300-yard race.
Werner ha§ selected Doug
Moorhead to run the mile, and has
named Skip Slocum and Dave
Leathern for the 600. Bruce Aus
tin and Bob Matz will run on the
mile relay team, with the final
two to be chosen from among Pol-

Two Shotpuilers
Rosey Grier and Charlie Block
son will represent the Lions in
the shot put. Last season Grier
placed fourth with a 50’ 10%” ef
fort and Blockson finished third
on the strength of a 51’ 3%” heave.
Blockson’s throw set a new Penn
State indoor shot put mark. But
in the quadrangular meet with
Michigan State, Missouri, and
Ohio State the record was sent
tumbling by Grier’s 51’ 10%” toss.
Harry Fuehrer, sophomore pole
vaulter, may be able to pick up
some valuable points in the star
