TUESDAY, JANUARY 8, 1957 Upper Weight Weakness Causes Havoc With Lions By LOU PRATO Penn State wrestling team's apparent weakness in the upper weight divisions al most proved disastrous to the Lions at Recreation Hall Saturday night and if it hadn't been for an Illinois forfeit in the 123-pound match, the Nittanies would not be walking around today with their second win of the season. The. Lions topped the Big Ten school, 14-12, winning three decisions in addition to the forfeit but all of the victories came before the 157-pound match had started From there on the match be- * * * * * * longed to the 11l in i as they wrapped up four straight deci sions. One consolation to the Lions, however, was the failure of the Illinois upper weight men to gain a fall. A pin would have meant a tie and two falls would have given the win to Illinois, But as it was, the Ilion pre served their unbeaten status for the campaign, and near await the visit of arch-rival Lehigh Saturday night. The forfeit victory, awarded to sophomore because Coach Charl didn't want to sweat regular 123-pounder, Sid Nodland, didn't much when it was nounced. However, as went on, this proved most important fact. night. Ron Heamstead, wh has been spending the past few days in an Illinois hospital. was the victim of the default. He didn't even snake the trip Johnny Johnston, who has on ly lost once in. dual competi tion, won his second decision of the season with a win over Il linois Norb Sargent in the 130- pound match. Johnston put Sargent down on the mat in the first period and picked up more points with a re versal and riding time for a 5-1 win. Pepe had an easier time in dis posing of Bill Muther in the 137- pound scrap although he didn't pin him. He got a takedown in the first period, picked up riding time in the second, and, after "resting" for one minute in the third, he reversed Muther for a 5-0 win. His third period "rest" was quite humiliating to the Illinois grapp ler. Choosing the down position at the opening of the period, Pepe didn't move from his "hands and knees" position although Muther tried several times to throw the Lion on his back. Pepe raised his hand for a number of seconds and wiped the sweat off his brow.. Co-Captain Dave Adams gave the Lions their last win of the night when he decisioned Tom Gabbard 8-4 in the following match. Adams had Gabbard on his back several times but could not get Gabbard's shoul der blades on the mat. Adams picked up his points with a takedown, a reverse, an escape, two near falls, and riding time. Mother's points came on a first period takedown and a last period reversal. Earl Poust, making his first ap pearance of the season, started out like a winner in his 157- pound match with Werner Hol zer, but he could not maintain the pace in losing a 5-2 decision. Another newcomer fo the starting lineup, 167-pound Geor ge Gray, lost out to Harold. Brownstein 3-2 in the closest match of the night. Brownstein. using stalling tactics most of the way, won on the strength of riding time in the second per iod period. Gray's points came on second and third period escapes while BroWnstein, who finished fourth in the Big Ten last year, gained a third period reverse in addition to his riding time. For the second time this year, Bruce Gilmore met up with the captain of the .opposition.

Gilmore's defeat left the score at 14-9 and everything hinged on the heavyweight match.
