PAGE EIGHT Middleweight Mat Talent Plentiful for EIWA Tourney (This is the second of a series previewing the Eastern meat ai liccreazlon Hall Fruiay and Saturday.) There won't be a shortage of talent in the inent this weekend. Included among the entr —are eight men with undefea have been beaten only twice. Lehigh's captain Joe Gr in the middleweight division, but six other grapplers who reached the semi-finals last year are back. Gratto won the 137-pound crown, defeating Penn State's John Pepe in the finals. Last year's 157-pound litlisL Pitti Dave Johnson, also re turns to the EIWA tourney this year but he will compete in the 167-pound class. Gratto has a 10-1 record for the season and has lost only one match in his dual-meet career. The junior Engineer was upset in the season opener by Cornell's Dick Vincent in a 157-pound match. . Gratto's toughest competition this season will come from Pepe, Pitt's Vic DeFelice, Springfield's Henry Bianowicz, 5-0: Brown's George Seaver, 7-1; Navy's Joe Longton, 5-2; and Harvard's Bob Crook, 5-3. Pepe finished second in the 1956 event and DeFelice was third. Pepe has a 8-1 record this season including a 5-0 victory over De- Felice. DeFelice's mark for the cam paign is 8-2. The Pitt junior was rolling along with an eight-match undefeated mark before running into Gratto and Pepe in his final two encounters. Grattds brother Joe, a senior at Cornell, is also expected to provide keen competition at 137 despite his 6-5 record. The rest of the field includes Army's Jim Hankee, 5-3; Col gate's Frank McCarthy, 4-4; F & M's Ned Harner, 2-3; Syra cuse's Bob McDermot, 0-9-1: Tem ple's George Barber, 0-6: Colum bia's John Buchanan or Tony An tonio; Penn's Dennis Hurley; Rutger's Dick McKeeby; Yale's Otis Graham; and Princeton's Curt Dohan. A successor to Lehigh's Ed Ei chelberger, last year's outstand ing wrestler at both the Eastern and National tournaments, will be crowned at 147. Eichelberger defeated Penn State's Dave Ad ams in the 1956 finale. But Adams and hosts of other star contenders are back this year. Adams is unbeaten with a 7-0-2 record and would seem like the logical winner but for the fact that five other 147-pound grapp lers have also escaped without a defeat. Brown's captain Frank Smith, a native of Bethlehem, has a 9-0 record; F&M's Joe Yeats has tied only once in ten exhibitions; Lehigh's ace sophomore Dick San toro has a 9-0-3 record; and Pitt's Ted Bienkowski has a 7-0-1 ledger. Princeton's Bill Fortenbaugh, who was third in last season's Eastern's, is also undefeated this year but his exact season record is not known. Navy's Bob Daughenbaugh is also included among the leaders. He has a 5-1-1 record. Army's John Hyde, VS: COl- =l* Tun Glynn. 1-2: Harvard's Noble.

Springfield's Vic Lewinn, Cornell's Steve Vincent, and Yale's Steve Jackson, step in to.the favorite roles. Scanlon fin ished fourth in the 1956 EIWA tourney and has a 9-0-1 record this season.

Among the players who have been put for varying periods are Johnny Antonelli Giants, Carl Furillo of the Brook: lyn Dodgers. Steve Gromek of, Detroit and Bob Speake and Er nie Banks of the Chicago Cubs. In the Giants' Phoenix, Ariz., quarters, Manager Bill Rigney isn't as much concerned with Antonelli's ailments as he is with the "dangerous" bat of Foster Castleman. his young third-base-outfield hopeful: First Castleman drove a line drive off the left leg of Joe Mar goneri and put the sophomore lefthander out of action for a cou ple of days. Then, to show he played no favorites, Castleman blasted one off the right leg of Antonelli, the team's southpaw ace. Neither injury is regarded as serious, but Antonelli's situation is complicated by a strained neck muscle which he suffered while practicing pickoff throws. Furillo has a leftover injury—a sore left elbow which he hurt while crashing into a wall late last season. He claims it "hasn't been quite right since." Unless the 35- year-old outfielder comes around, this could mean trouble for the Dodgers. Gromek, the Tigers' veteran righthander, was hit above the right eye by a wild pitch thrown by teammate Jack Cri mian. Speake injured his shoul der when he tripped over first base while running out a hit and Banks also has an aching shoulder. The Dodgers got another set back when Roger Craig came up with a sore elbow while pitching in an intrasquad contest. This was a recurrence of an old injury. o h SEE all of g That's why American Express Student Tours are expertly planned to include a full measure of indirridual /iisure— ample free time to discover your Europe—as well as the most comprehensive sight-seeing program available any where!
