Panthers Claw Matmen, 16-12
Snap Skein
At 7; Pepe,
Adams Win
By FRAN FANUCCI
Charley Speidel and his
once-beaten matmen have
only one thing on their mind
as they prepare for the East
ern Intercollegiate Wrestling
Championships at Lehigh Uni
versity this weekend--revenge
for the 111.12 loss the Pittsburgh
Panthers handed them Saturday
night.
The undefeated Panthers
stretched their streak to 17
straight wins while snapping the
Lions' streak at seven wins. It
was, the second consecutive year
Ihe iestlers from Pitt snap
pill a Lion winning skein, and
the third consecutive year that
they have beaten the Lions.
Pepe Extends Streak
Of the six Lain unbeatens who
wrestled, only one kept his slate
clean. Sul Nodland and Bill Ober
ly, although not losing, were held
to draws while Johnny Johnston,
Emi t . Young, and Joe Krufka
were each beaten for the first time
this season_ John Pepe was the
only wrestler to extend his streak.
Dave Adams was the other Lion
to win his match.
The Lions, scoring wins with
apparent ease in the 137 and 147
divisions, jumped to a 10-5 lead
over the Panthers. But Pitt re
taliated winning three of the last
four matches and scoring a draw
in the other to win the meet.
Peery Shifts DeWitt
Pitt Coach, Rex Peery made a
strategic move in the 167 and 177
divisions when he shifted Ed De-
Witt up a weight to meet Krufka
and Don Huff to the 167 slot to
meet Young. The move worked
perfectly. DeWitt, appearing ex
tremely fast and agile, decisioned
the hitherto unbeaten - Krufka, 5-1.
And Huff decisioned Young, 3-0.
With the score 14-10 in Pitt's
favor, the Lion matmen wrested
their only hope with national
champ, Oberly. But Oberly trying
too hard for the pin, which would
give the Lions the victory, made
too many mistakes and took too
many chances and could only
grab a 4-4 draw.
Adams Pins Bubb
The match which had the 6400
fans screaming for the entire nine
minutes was the Dave Adams-Bo►b
Bubb 147-pound thriller. Adams
pinned his opponent with only
one second remaining in the
match after scoring a nearfall
and a predicament in the two
previous periods.
Wrestling his best match of the
year, the powerful Adams had his
opponent helpless for practically
the entire_nine minutes. He led
9.2 before he pinned Bubb with
a body press.
Peery 'On Ropes'
The 130 pound duel between
Ed Peery and Johnston would
grab second honors for the most
thrills if a poll were taken of the
fans. Johnston had Peery, who
has won 27 straight matches, on
the ropes when he scored a re
verse early in the second period.
But Peery came back moments
later to tie it up when he re
versed Johnston. Then in the
final period he scored an escape
to sew up the win.
Nodland and Bill Hulings, for
the second consecutive year bat
tled to a draw. Nodland trailed
l-0 at one point but reversed Hul
ings to take a 2.1 lead. 'Rulings
came back, with Nodland up. to
score an escape which tied the
score, 2-2.
Pepe In Bth Win
John Pepe scored his eighth win
when he completely outclassed
and outmaneuvered Vie DeFelice
in the 137-pound cla s s. Penel
scored three takedowns and two
escapes in winning 8-4. DeFelice am.t.EFol.rrn_Adults 55c • Child. 25e

ened contempt of court action
against Avery Brundage today
for a statement attributed to the
president of the International

The attorney, Charles P.
Grimes, also said he planned to
try to get Congress to investigate
operations of the lOC and the
Amateur Athletic Union, with
whom Santee is staging a running
fight over a life-time suspension.
"If Mr. Brundage was quoted
correctly, then he was in clear
contempt of court," said Grimes.
"I warn him he had better stay
out of the jurisdiction of New
York courts or I'll try to have
him cited."

BELLEFONTE
The Lion gymnastic team hit its season peak Saturday
afternoon beating Pittsburgh, 63-33, but failed to win its
fourth consecutive Eastern title when Army rolled over Navy,
55-41, at Annapolis.
The Lions completed 14 of 18 routines, good for five
places, but this was overshadowed by the Cadets who
ished with their first unbeaten season in three years
Despite the shattering of their
title hopes, Coach Gene Wett
stone was highly impressed with
the Lions' performance.
"It may be a good indication
of what's to come this weekend
at West Point," he said.
The Lions compete in the fight
for individual honors in the East
ern Intercollegiate Gymnastic
League championships at the
Point Friday and Saturday.
It was a team victory as no
Nittany performer managed to
win more than one first place.
However. there was room for
debate as to which first place
was the most outstanding.
Was it:
Phil Mullen's sparkling time of
3.5 seconds in the rope climb
which fell one-tenth of a second
short of tying ex-Lion "Skeets"
Hagg's Eastern record?
Mullen had climbed the 20-
foot rope in 3.6 in his first at
tempt to tie his best previous
time of the season. On the sec
ond attempt, he literally ran up
the rope to the delight of the
crowd.
Or Armando Vega's outstand
ing performance on the parallel
bars? Vega scored 278 on his spe
cialty for the highest individual
score of the meet. It was also his
fourth consecutive first place in
the parallel bars.
Or Bill Paxton's 270 total in
tumbling to send the Nittanies
into an early lead? It was his
sixth consecutive first in tumb
ling, caving him his first unde
feated season in three years of
varsity competition.
Or Dion Weissend's skillful
routines on the high har? WPis
send totaled 269 points on the
high bar to win easily.
Or Jack Biesterfeldt's perfor
mance on the side horse? Ries
terfeldt, one of nine sophomores
on the Lion roster, won the side
horse with 259 points, nine
more than Vega.
The only event the Lions failed
to win was the flying rings where
Panther John Hammond grabbed
first-place honors with 260
points.
Teammate Torn Darling finished
second with 252 points while the
Lions' Ed Sidwell was third with
245 points.
Dick Rehm. junior rope
climber, also came in for
praises from Wettstone. Rehm
made the climb in 3.B—his best
mark this season.
An interesting sidelight was
that Vega, scratched from his us
ual flying ring assignment, com
peted in the horizontal bar on an
exhibition basis. His 235 total on
the high bar, which would have
placed him fourth in actual com
petition, did not count in team
score.
