Mat Coaches Plagued
By Middleweight Woes
(This is the second account in 4 series of three that wilt give a breakdown of some of the top
wrestlers in each weight expected to compete in the EIWA tourney set to begin at Re c Halt to
morrow. Today the review covers the 247-, 157-, and 267-pound weights.)
By ROY WILLIAMS
If the same trend holds true for the Eastern Intercollegiate Wrestling Tourney Friday
that has been indicative of the past dual, meet season, Eastern coaches will be in a frantic race
with each other to juggle their, tourney lineups in an effort to gain top strength at each
weight. During the regular season the three middleweight slots—l 47, 167, and 187 pounds
—each had severe workouts by the East’s mat coaches with men shuffling in and out of the
three weights.
“The Big Four” of Pitt, Lehigh, Navy, and Penn State will have four of
In the 147-pound scrap. Pitt’s Bob Cook has rolled to a 6-2 record including
/the Lions’ outstanding sophomore, Dave Adams, owner of a 5-2 record.
Navy’s Bob Daughenbaugh
scored a 6-0 record at 147 but
dropped to 137 for the Lehigh
match where he lost his only bout
—that to Lehigh’s classy Dave
Bates. Lehigh will have a choice
for the 147-pound division in Cap
tain Ken Faust and Ed Eichel
berger. Although Faust worked
at 147 during most of the season,
Eichelberger is expected to drop
from 157 to 147. Eichelberger, run
nerup at 147 in the Easterns last
year, defeated the Lions’ Adams
in a rumbling session at Rec Hall
two weeks ago.
Brown, Temple, Cornell, and
Franklin and Marshall, however,
can’t be counted out of the race
for 147-pound honors. Bob Smith,
F and M, scored A 4-3 record, los
ing only to Gettysburg and Illi
nois, runnerups in the Big Ten
Championships last week.
Brown’s Joe Muse has carded an
8- slate while Roger Judd of
Cornell has a 4-1-1 record. Judd
Was defeated by Adams, 7-3.
Dick Simmons of Temple also
may be a likely candidate in the
scramble for 147. He has a 9-0
record including wins over F
and M's Smith and Tom King,
Syracuse. Princeton's Kirk Don
han has a 3-1-1 winning slate,
and Columbia's Harold Scott
has a 3-2-1 card.
Rutgers, Harvard, Yale, Army,
Penn, and Syracuse have had
trouble winning at 147 and each
has often chosen several different
men to work the slot.
At 157 pounds Syracuse’s Ed
Rooney, defending Eastern champ
who dropped Ed DeWitt last year,
9- for the title, will hold the
limelight.
Rooney was the workhorse for
the Orange this year; he notched
a 7-2 record wrestling in the 147,
157, 167, and 177-pound divisions,
although he directed most of his
attention to the 157-pound weight.
Jim Harrell Of Brown owns a
5-0 record at 157 pounds but
scored a 1-1 slate when he moved
up to 167 in the usual lineup
shuffle.
Pitt, Rutgers, Temple, Army,
and Franklin and Marshall have
had fair seasons at 157 pounds.
Pitt’s Don Huff scored. a 4-2-1
record in seven meets, but the
Panthers lost three times at 157
when they moved Huff out of his
usual weight.
Army has relied on Dale Ward
(3-1) and Gerry Tebben (2-0) for
the bulk of its strength; Ward’s
loss came at the hands of> Eichel
berger, 8-6. Temple also has had
a winning season with Jerry
Scanian stacking up a 6-3 card.
Penn State, Harvard, Yale, Co
lumbia, Cornell, Princeton, and
Penh have had losing seasons at
157. Navy, although it has scored
a 5-2 record at 157 pounds, has
had trouble' in getting a winner
and has called on four men for
the 157-pound chores.
What Lehigh will do for a 157-
pound entry is a big question if
Eichelberger slides down to 147.
Captain Faust could move up or

Ed Robney
Defending 167-Pound Champ
167-pounders D}ck Whited or Ro
ger Taylor may drop into the
vacant slot.
Franklin and Marshall’s Hal
DeHaven has chalked up a 6-3
record at 157 losing to Illinois,
Boh Smith of Syracuse, and Ken
Faust by a pin at 147.
Pitt, Navy, Lehigh, Temple, and
Princeton hold the bulk of power
at 167. Pitt’s Ed DeWitt, runnerup
at 167 in the EIWA last year,
has a 7-0 card, including an 8-7
win over Rooney.
Navy also boasts an undefeated
grappler in Joe Cattuso, Eastern
champ and third-place winner in
the 1054 National Collegiate Ath
letic Association tourney, who
cornered an 8-0 record.
Lehigh’s Roger Taylor also has
a winning 6-1 slate although he
was whitewashed by DeWitt, 5-0.
Temple’s Jack Scanlon won six
while losing only one—that to
Sal D’Amico of Franklin and
Marshall.
D’Amico has been hot and cold
in registering a 4-3-1 card in
cluding a 4-1 loss to Dick Whited
of Lehigh. Princeton’s Art Seglin
is 4-1-1.
Harvard, Yale, Rutgers, Cor
nell, Penn, and Navy have
scored winning but unimpressive
records at 167. Harvard’s John
Gilmore is 3-1-1; Yale’s Roger
Hinkson won two of three bouts
Navy’s John Brainerd was un
defeated at 167 (3-0-1) and 157
(2-0). His only draw was with
Taylor. Penn State, Penn, Co
lumbia, and Brown have had los
ing seasons at 167 pounds.

PENNSYLVANIA TRACK STARS SHINE
America’s hopes of retaining its supremacy in track events at
the 1938 Olympics looked fairly dim several months ago. However,
a host of glistening new stars from Pennsylvania colleges and uni
versities crashed into the foreground during the indoor track cam

Actually, lhore ia no auch thing aa a toam championahip in
tho Olympic Games. Competition is supposed to bo between, In
dividuals only. Tho toam title is merely a mythical honor which
is worked out on a point basis. But it is an honor which both
Russia and America would like to claim.
Amle Sowell of Pitt is probably the most sensational of the
newcomers. He equaled the world indoor mark of 2:08.2 in the
1000-yard run this season and also copped the Intercollegiate Ama*
teur Athletics Association of America title at the same distance
a week later.
The Pitt flash stands 5-11 and weighs only 130 pounds, but his
talents are amazing at any distance from 100 yards to five miles.
Sowell has run the 100-yard dash in 0.9 sec.; the 880 in 1:50.3; and the
five-mile grind in under 25 iqinutes. His tremendous finishing kick
ranks with the greatest of all time, and he has demonstrated ex
ceptional stamina by running three or four events in one night.
Freddie Dwyer, former Villanova ace, was among Ihe nation's
top milers during his college days, but an injured foot dropped
him into comparative obscurity. Wes Santee of Kansas and Den
mark's Gunnar Nielsen were hailed as the world's two top com
petitors at this distance at the start of the banked board action.
Dwyer, however, regained his form and stepped into the picture
by beating both Santee and Nielsen in the New York Athletic
Club meet at Madison Square Garden.
Sophomore Charlie Jenkins of Villanova specializes in the mid
dle distance events. He crashed into the spotlight Jan. 21 at the
Philadelphia Inquirer Games when he copped the 600 and sped to
a sizzling 48.0 sec. quarter-mile on the final lap of the mile relay.
This unofficial quarter-mile clocking is two-tenths of a second lower
than the world indoor record for this distance. Jenkins won the
AAU and IC4A 600-yard titles at the tail end of the season with
clockings, of 1:11.9 and 1:11.2 respectively.
Rod Perry of the Niltany Lions b also an Olympic hopeful.
IBs upset victory over Dillard—who is rated as the world's No. 1
hurdler—stands near the lop of the list of reversals during thb
year's action. The speedy sophomore from Coatesville tied the
world indoor mark of 6.0 sec. for the 50-yard highs in beating
"Old Bonee." Perry came within inches of duplicating his feat
a week later in Boston.
Among the other talented speedsters attending state colleges or
universities are Johnny Haines of Penn, George Sydnor of Villa
nova, and Art Pollard of Penn State.
Haines won his third consecutive AAU 60-yard title this sea
son and also the IC4A crown. Pollard barely missed defeating
Haines in the IC4A title race, and with freshman Sydnor slated
for varsity action next year, the scramble for honors in this class
could well be a three-way battle between this trio.
Melbourne. Australia, will be sight of the Olympic track
events in 1956. Because Australia b on ihe other side of the globe
from t>s, it has been said that American runners will be racing
"up-side-down." But, up-side-down or down-side-up, these Penn
sylvania products have turned the track world in-side-out and
could weir keep America's track supremacy right-side-up.
