the tournament last year.
In the latest national wrestling
ratings, the Panthers.are ranked
third in the nation behind second
place Oklahoma and first place
Oklahoma A&M while the Nit
tany Lions are in fourth place
only a few points away.
The Lion matmen are not only
seeking revenge for being beaten
in the EIWA tourney but also for
the 19-8 drubbing they received
last year from the Panthers. The
Lions were also beaten in 1954
by Pitt, 22-8.
2 Probable Rematches
Probable rematches this year
will be at the 123-pound and
heavyweight divisions where Sid
Nodland and Bill Hulings and
Bill Oberly and Don Schirf are
slated to meet.
In the '55 meet Nodland and
Hulings drew 1-1, but in the
EIWA tournament Hulings beat
Nodland to cop the 123 title. Nod
land reversed this loss in the
Wilkes Tournament last Decem
ber when he pinned his tough
adversary to win the title. '
Nodland in Solid Shape
Nodland, who was slightly in
jured last week, is in solid shape
and should be in top condition
for the "rubber match" with Hul
ings tomorrow night.
Oberly edged Schirf last year,
6-4, after trailing 1-0 going into
the last period. The unbeaten
Lion then turned on the heat
racking up six points in three
minutes while Schirf could only
notch three.
Don Huff, Pitt's 177 pounder,
also scored a victory over one of
the present Lion matmen—Joe
Humphreys. Huff decision e d
Humphreys, 3-2, in the 157-pound
match, which shows Huff's ability
to wrestle at two extreme
weights.
DeWitt Pinned Pasko
Humphreys was also defeated
by Ed DeWitt in the EIWA elimi
nations later in the '55 season.
DeWitt, in last year's meet with
the Lions, pinned Ed Pasko in the
167 pound class.
DeWitt will probably meet
Ernie Young this year, since Pas
ko was declared ineligible at the
fall semester's end. There is also
the possibility that Humphreys
might be shifted to the 167 spot,
if he is needed.
Panthers Arriving Today
Coach Rex Peery and his un
beaten Panthers will arrive in
University Park sometime this
afternoon and will probably work
out on the Rec Hall mats tonight.
What the Pitt lineup will be is
as baffling as who Charley Spei
del will start for the Lions. Both
coaches are master strategists
and if their pre-season tactics are
any indication of what is in store
for tomorrow's battle, then the
first people to know the exact
lineup will be the fans who enter
Rec Hall first and see it on the
giant scoreboard.
The meet will begin at 7 p.m.
with a sell-out crowd of 6000 al
most assured.
High School Grid Clinic
Penn State's Rip Engle and his
staff again will conduct a two
day football clinic for high school
coaches, May 4-5. The schoolboy
coaches yet to be named will join
the staff for the 1956 seminar.
Penn State's eleven intercol-,
legiate athletic teams won 78
matches while losing only 37 dur-,'

One More to Go
Cages Meet Pitt
In Season's Finale
The University of Pittsburgh now looms as the last
hurdle the Nittany Lion cagers must clear in their fight to
finish the season out of the red. A win over the Panthers to
morrow night wouldn't exactly put the Lions in the blue, but
it would give them a respectable .500 record for the year.
The Lions have seen more of
the open road and foreign courts!
this year than they have of Rec
reation Hall, and the lack of home
encounters has seemed to be a.
detriment to the cagers. A win at'
Rec Hall was a common occur-;
rence over the past couple of!
years, but a game there has been'
a rarity this campaign.
The Nittanies have been on they
road 17 of the 25 games played ,
so far Of the 17, the cagers have'
been able to win only seveni
while dropping 10. At home, the
Lions have a better average, win-'
ning five and losing three, and!
have a chance to even their over-i

nevertheless wary of the Lions.
The Pittmen still remember the

Julius Pegues
Sophomore Standout
* * *
94-70 conquest of the West Vir
ginia Mountaineers.
Pitt is a young team blessed
with height, speed and scoring
ability. Two juniors, a pair of
sophomores, and one senior com
prise the starting lineup which
averages 6'3". Pivotman Bob La
zor is the big man for the Pan
thers. The 6'5" junior was the
thorn in the Nittanies' side in the
first game as he tallied 26 points.
Lazor is aided on the back
boards by forwards John Riser
and Julius Pegues. Riser, a 6'4"
junior, tallied 18 points in the
previous contest. Pegues stands
6'3" and is Pitt's outstanding
sophomore prospect. The guard
posts are held down by senior
Joe Fenwick, 6', and sophomore
Chuck Hursh, 6'4".
Quite a scoring contest is going
on among three Lions for the
team lead. Bob Hoffman and
Rudy Marisa are currently tied
for the top spot with 344 points
apiece, and Earl Fields is close
behind with 336. Tomorrow
night's contest • will decide the
winner.
