The Lions were one of Pitt's
victims last year, losing 16-12 on
the Nittany campus, It was the
third year in a row that the Pan
thers had defeated their arch
rivals. In 1954 the score was 22-9
and two years ago Pitt won 19-8.
Both teams were undefeated
when they hooked up in the 1956
battle but things are a little dif
ferent this year. Pittsburgh is un
defeated once again with nine
victories, but the Lions have been
beaten twice and tied once in
eight meets.
Pitt owns victories over Mich
igan, 25-3; lowa State, 17-8; Mary
land, 26-4; Syracuse, 17-9; Cornell,
22-8; Lock Haven, 23-3; Purdue,
25-3; Army, 28-0; and Lehigh, 15-9.
The Lions picked up their wins
against Colgate, 23-8; Illinois, 14-
12; Maryland, 17-11; Ohio State,
36-0; and Syracuse, 24-8; and lost
to Lehigh, 16-13,'and Navy, 14-13.
The tie came last week against
Cornell, 12-12.
Ten men who wrestled in
last season's meet are back this
year; four from Penn State. Sid
Nodland, Johnny Johnsto n,
John Pepe, and Dave Adams
return for the Lions while Bill
Rulings, Ed Peery, Vic DeFelice,
Bob Bubb, Dave Johnson, and
Ron Schrif remain for the Pan
thers.
Nodland, Johnston, Adam s, 'I
Peery, and Schrif are unbeaten
this season as is Pitt's sophomore
ace Ted Bienkowski. Peery has
the best record with nine victories
followed by Johnson and Schrif
who have eight. Schrif also has a
draw on his slate. Nodland and
Bienkowski have identical 7-0
marks and Adams owns a 6-0-2
record.
For the second straight year,
Johnson and Peery will match
their untarnished marks in the
130-pound scrap. Peery, a two
time 123-pound National cham
pion, and 1955 130-pound champ
beat Johnson, the defending East
ern titlist, in last year's meet, 3-2.

Gymnasts Poise for Dangerous Pitt
* * *
Bruce Gilmore
May meet Dave Johnson
The loss was the first and only
one of the season for Johnson.
Adams will meet either Bien
kowski or Bubb at 147. If Bien
kowski gets the nod, then Bubb
will be at 157. It will work just
the opposite if Bubb is nominated
at 147. In the 1956 encounter, Ad
ams decked Bubb with a body
press with one second to go in
the match.
Another re-match is slated for
the 123-pound bout where Nod
land faces Bill Rulings. If past
meetings of these two are any
indication of tonight's battle, then
this will probably be the most
exciting match of the meet. In
six encounters they have split
even—one win, one loss and-three
ties.
Pepe will' get his second
chance to defeat DeFelice when
the two hook up at 137. Last
year, Pepe decisioned the Pitt
junior. 8-4. Pepe owns a 7-1
mark this season while DeFelice
goes one better at 8-I.
Johnson and Schrif will be up
against new foes this season. In
the 1956 meet, Johnston topped
Joe Humphreys, 4-0, and Schrif
drew with Bill Oberly, 4-4:
Johnson will be at either 167
or 177 and Schrif will handle the
heavyweight spot. If Johnson, the
defending 157-pound Easter n ;
champ, wrestles at 167 he will
meet Bruce Gilmore. 2-6-0. and if,
he moves up one weight he will
tangle with Les 'Walters. 0-3.
Schrif will face Sam Markle, who
owns a 1-6-1 record.
Bob Richardson could get the ,
nod for Pitt at either 157 or 1671
while sophomore Torn _Alberts
could start at 177. Richardson is
3-5 for the season and Alberts' is
6-2. •
The other Lion starting post at,
157 will go to either George Gray
or Earl Poust. Gray has a 2-3 rec
ord while Poust is 1-2 for the
season.
