Bill Oberly will prob ably be top-seeded at the heavy weight spot although Dave Gal lagher of Lehigh and Don Schrif of Pitt are rated good chances. Penn State was seen as the only team capable of stopping Pitts burgh from grabbing its-- third straight title, with Lehigh, Navy, and Syracuse given the "dark horse" tag, The wrestlers from Skyscraper possess the best all-around strength boasting contenders in all but two divisions. The Lions, on the other hand, are ruled out in at least three weights. Johnson is the pee-tourney pick to grab the 157 honors with Navy's Larry Marr given a good etit , ,ide chance to stop him.
