FRIDAY. JANUARY 13. 1956 Lehigh May Shift Starters Penn State’s wrestlers will leave at noon today for Beth lehem, home of Lehigh University, where they meet the Engineer matmen tomorrow nignt in the second meet of the still-young 1956 season. Lehigh is 3-0 on the season while Coach Charlie Speidel’s outfit has a single win over Cornell. Lehigh has five letter men to back up its lineup for tomorrow’s match, and an added advantage with three meets already in its pocket. Since its first meet with Cornell, Lehigh has used a varied lineup— and reportedly, one that is strong er than that which trounced the Big Red, 26-7. Although its strictly speculation as to who Coach Gerry Leeman will use where against ;the Lions, the maze of “if’s” arid “but’s” goes something like this: 4 Available at 1231, 130 Leeman has lettermani Tom Dep pe, Frank Eck, Ralph Sclazo, and Bob Myers to shift in and out of the 123 and 130-pound brackets. Deppe—losing only to the Lions’ Sid Nodland last year— wrestled at long Islandfs Mepham High School—where '55 Captain Bob Homan and Dick and Joe Lemyre, former Lion mat greats, did their pre-college wrestling. He’s 3-0 on the ’56 season. Scalzo is a N.J. High School state champ from Newton —where two more former Lion matmen, Don and Doug Fry wrestled—and has a 1-0 slate this year. He pin ned Cornell’s 130-pounder Carl Schwartz while Deppe whipped 123-pounder Carman Molino, 5-2. Nodland stopped Molino last week, 3-2. Was High School Champ Bob Myers, 0-T this year losing at Frankiin and Marshall Satur day, was Indiana State high school champ. Frank Eck, a new comer, can wrestle either 130 or 137. Leeman has Joe Gratto and Dave Bates for 137 and 147-pound work. With Gratto, Bates and Eck capable of handling any two of the weights, Leeman has his pick. Bates, a veteran, is 2-0 this year. Gratto is undefeated in three bouts, and was a standout high school wrestler—hailing from IthciCci Ed “Ike” Eichelberger, Lehigh’s captain and 1955 Eastern and Na tional 147-pound champ, is Lee man’s strongest link. He can work either 147 or 157. He was un defeated last year, and advanced in the NCAA’s by pinning all of his opponents to win the crown. May be Weak at 167. 177 If . Lehigh has a weak spot, it’s the 167 and 177-pound divisions. Bob Lynch of Cornell—who de feated the Lions’ Joe Humphreys 7-2—lost to Lehigh’s 167-pounder Dick Whited, 2-1. • At 177 Leeman can call on new comer Dave Walton or Larry Sheridan who lost to Cornell’s Steve Smethurst by a pin in 8:10. In comparing scores—which does not often hold true—the Lions’ 177-pounder Joe Krufka stopped Smethurst, 8-2. Dave Gallaher, who wrestled 177 last year and lost to Krufka on a decision, has moved up to heavyweight where Leeman lost standout Werner Seel by gradu ation. Bill Oberly and Gallaher each faced Cornell’s persistent but unexperienced sophomore George ■Fillius who was undefeated as a irosh. Gallaher, now undefeated, noticed his first 1956 “heavy” win with an 8-2 score. Oberly did it with an 8-0 whitewashing. 12 Lions Make Trip Speidel left with a 12-man traveling squad. This will be the Lions first of two trips to Lehigh of. the ’56 season. The Eastern Intercollegiate Athletic Associa tion (EIGA) tourney will be held there March 12-13. ■ • Speidel’s lineup may face con siderable juggling from the 130 to 167-pound divisions, but Sid Nodland, 123-pounder, and Co- Captains Joe Krufka (177) ’and heavyweight Bill Oberly are sure ’Starters. Speidel Has Won 139 The 1956 season will mark Charlie Speidel’s 30th year as hqad coach of wrestling at Penn State. His teams have been tra ditionally strong, winning one National Collegiate and three Eastern championships. His dual meet record shows 139 wins, 32 defeats, and 7 ties.

When Pollard—a two-year veteran of varsity track compe tition—gets set in his starting position Saturday, he will be trying to improve on an already out standing record in Penn State track circles For the past two seasons, the speedy senior has been rated as the number one sprinter on Coach “Chick” Werner’s squad, besides doubling as the top anchor man on the Lions’ mile relay team. Pollard has been improving as the years pass. In his sophomore year, his first in varsity track, the Lion captain set two Penn State records in outdoor track when he ran the 100-yard dash in 9.6 seconds and the 220 in 20.5 seconds. Although he was especially tough on the outdoor cinders, Pol lard proved his worth in indoor competition when he shattered two Michigan State field house records in the Lions’ opening meet last season, running the 60- yard dash in 6.3 seconds and the 300-yard run in 30.6 seconds. But it was not only in dual meets that- the "Coalesville Comet" shined. In the 1954 an nual indoor IC4A meet, Pollard finished second to Penn's star sprinter. Jess Haines—one of the toughest men for the Lion ace to beat in his career. Pollard returned to the IC4A’s later that spring and when he left, the fans were still talking about his accomplishments. The slender youth not only won both the 100 and 220-yard dashes, but also set the meet record in the 220 with a time of 20.5 seconds in the process. In last season’s indoor IC4A’s, Pollard finished second in the 60-yard dash, following Penn’s Haines across the wire. That spring, in the same meet only on an outdoor track, he won the 220-yard dash after losing the 100- yard sprint to Haines. Last year the speedy trackman was a consistent scorer for the Lions both indoors and outdoors, as he chalked up Nittany points in each Penri State meet. In the Knights of Columbus annual indoor competition—one which draws some of the top stars in the country to its start ing line—Pollard finished third in the 60-yard dash. In that same meet, he was an chor man for the Lions’ third place mile relay entry. Pollard is also a member of the By VINCE CAROCCI De-Emphasizing At Duquesne? A Rumor-Moore Pittsburgh, Jan. 12 {(P) —There's talk of Duquesne University de emphasizing basketball and coach Dudey Moore heading for another job with brighter prospects. The rumor mart —particularly in this steel city—has Moore leav ing Duquesne within a year. One of the schools mentioned is Notre Dame, another Pitt. "Utterly ridiculous," asserted Moore today. "It’s just rumors, nothing else. There's nothing to it. It must be embarrassing to coaches at the various schools. Anyway I know of no job open." “It’s just talk, plain talk,” de clared Lou (Doc) Skender, the ro tund athletic director at Du quesne. “Why would Dudey want to leave? Didn't he sign a three year contract in 1955? “We have no intentions of de emphasizing. In fact we never over-emphasized, so why should we de-emphasize. There’s been no change in our policy. "If we were de-emphasizing don't you think the first place it would show would be in our schedule? And if you look at our 1956-57 schedule you'll see there's no de-emphasizing." Penn State record-breaking mile relay quartet which shattered the school mark last season in 3:14.9. Last season, Pollard was rated the ninth ranking 200-meter man in the world according to statis tics released by the Track and Field News. The performer’s rac ing times were used as a basis for the ratings. And what does Coach Werner think about his star protege? Ask him, and he’ll tell you: “Pollard is a great sprinter and, what’s more, he’s an excellent team man. He’s an inspiration to the other boys on the squad. And you know, after taking a look at his record, everyone can see why that’s so. PAGE SEVEN Starts Today
