When asked whether Tom Albert's presence in the lineup would have made a difference in the final outcome Peery said "You can't tell about that. He might have come up here and been beaten in his first appear ance. We lost and that's that." - Alberts was the Pitt starter at 177 early this season and had lost only two matches in eight out ings before being declared ineli gible at the semester break. Peery also saw a tight race looming ahead in the 1958 EIWA carnival. "Pitt and Penn State will be back in the running but Lehigh is really going to be tough," the Panther mentor said. — Well only lose three men." Peery said "but those three losses are going to be hard to take. There's (Bill) Hulings, Ed (Peery , his son), and (Ron) Schirf." These three made up the nu cleus of the Peery regime for the past three years. In that period the Panthers won two EIWA crowns and had a 26- match winning streak. includ ing an unbeaten season. "We have a cJuple of good Pprospects coming up in Paul owell of Lock Haven and Bob Irwin of Greensburg and they should help considerably," Peery said. What about your heavyweights?

Pitt could come through with a sweep on the flying rings with their Eastern all-winning trio of Champion Tom Darling, John Hammond and Dave Hirst. No other car, regardless of price, scored such a sweep. And Chevy walked away with the famous Manu facturers' Trophy, hands down! The 1957 Chevrolet is, by all odds, the most astonishing performer ever produced in the low-price field. Best of all, this superiority isn't limited to just a few extra-cost high-performance models. Every type of Chevy—from the six-cylinder models right up to the 283-horsepower "Super Turbo-Fire" VB's, from the single-carburetor VB's with Powerglide to the stick-shift "2705" —is a championship car. 11 4 . 7 4Ci0n00f .A 05. 1 ,1 ii . to /Dr Stock Car Aldo Awing.
