Upperweights Are
Wrestling Trouble
Again Gi
Spots
By LOU PHATO
(This is the last of three articles on the pr osmcts of Penn State's 3957-53 u’restling team.. I
Today the upperweights). " I
For the second straight year, the heavyweight division—l 77 pounds and unlimited—j
appears to be the weakest division on the Lion mat team. j
Last year, the division claimed only 2 victories in 11 dual bouts and with the loss'
of both starters, it will probably be difficult to improve upon that poor mark.
One of the regulars, Les Walt-;
ers at 177, is still in school andj
may be back with tie team in’
February —that is, if he doesn’t;
forego the r -t sport for profes-l
sional football. Walters was one'
of the Nittanies’ best grapplers!
in tournament comp;tition last;
winter (he finished second in the!
East) and would i ndoubtedly
strengthen the divisicn with his
return. The other misiing man is
Sam Markle who graluated.
“I don't know who my heavy
weights wpl be,” Co; ich Charlie
Speidel opinioned the other day.
“Both positions are vide-open."
Several inexperienced men
are vying for the two slots in
cluding four varsity football
r players. The leading man in the
division at the present tune is
Hank Norwood, a 184-pound
Junior.
Norwood, described by Speidel
as “a man with a lot of desire
and spirit,” could start at either
177 or unlimited.
Also in the running for the
177 pound berth are seniors John
Rusnak and Ed Smith,' and sopho
mores Bob Belus, John Hixon
and Joe Hurlburt.
The four footballers, three of
them sophomores, are listed in
the unlimited class. They in
clude Bud Kohlhass, Sam Stel
laiella. Andy Stynchula and
Ray Pottios. Kohlhass and Stel
laiella wrestled for ihe fresh
men last year and both lost one
match apiece. Slynchula. tha
other sophomore, is out for the
sport for the first time.
Pottios wrestled one match two
years ago as a sophomore but was
ineligible last season. He lost his
only appearance to Dick Whited
of £S? lgll m a 167-pound battle.
loose football players may i
not be ready for Colgate (the
meet is Wednesday)" Speidel
sai d. 'They have to get in shape
and it takes a solid month of '
hard work for that. You just
can't walk out on the mat and
wrestle, no matter how - much
brains you have."
Speidel is also interested in
having more “big boys" come out
for wrestling. Says the Lion men
tor: Id like to have a million
hig guys out there. They could
get a lot of indoor tackling prac
tice.”
