FRIDAY. DECEMBER 6.! 1957 Middleweight Class Should Be Strongest (This is the second of three articles on the prospects of Penn State’s 1957-58 wrestling teem. Today—the middleweight:.) Although mat Coach Charlie Speidel won’t admit it, he mid dleweight division —l 47. 137 and 167 —is probably the : inmgest class this year—at leasi in the pre-season outlook. The reason for this is the pres ence-of two veterans— bolH of whom are potential eastern pow ers, a couple of highly-ttiought-of sophomores and several ‘'im proved” reserves of last year. Earl Pousl, who finished third in die East last winter' at 157 pounds, is the stalwart of the division. Pousl was one of the big surprises in the latter half of the 1956-57 campaign and much is expected of him this year. Poust will be seen at e ther 147 or 157 this year. He was a natural 147-pounder in-1957 but had to wrestle at the higher- class be cause of Dave Adams—an East-' em champion. Adams ff-aduated last spring and is now acting as assistant to Speidel. George Gray is the other ex- ; perienced returnee. He held a regular 167-pound berth in the early stages of the sea: on but could not make the grade in the latter half. “We’re looking for Gray to win the Kaye Vinson award this year,” (that’s for the most im proved wrestler on the Lion team! Speidel said. has a lot of space to do it.” Gray will probably handle the 157 pound slot this season but could move up a weight if neces-: sary. Sam Minor, Bob Smith and Bob Farris are the lop sopho more prospects in the class. No One Notifies Doby of Swap PATERSON. N.J., Dec. 5 Larry Doby wasn’t surprised when the Chicago White Sox traded him to Baltimore, but he was a fait .chagrined that neither Chuck Co miskey, who sent him away, nor Paul Richards, his new boss, took time to tell him about it. Doby revealed today that he learned about the trade when his 8-year-old daughter, Chris, saw the story in the morning paper yesterday. Comiskey hadn't told him that he would be'traded and neither Comiskey nor Richards telephoned after the deal was made. Les Walters was Penn State's top receiver in 1957 with 24 pass receptions for 440 yards and 5 touchdowns. "What if we don't comp back from Mars? Those wonderful dinners at Christy's?"
