"Even the football team had
trouble rounding the sophomores
into form.' the Lion coach said
referring to Penn States early
1957 grid woes.
It wasn't only the team loss
that stunned Lion fans. For al
most everyone couldn't believe
(and some still can't! that Guy
Guccione's fantastic ft-match win
streak had come to an end.
Guccione (a sophomore. no
less) had compiled a 71-1-1 rec
ord since he first participated
in the sport as a high school
freshman. But Bill Muther. an
Mini veteran wh o finished
fourth at 137 in the NCAA tour
nament last year. punctured all
this with a 7-5 decision over
Guccione.
"He found out that he can't
muscle everyone in college," Spei
del said of the Guccione loss.
"That's just what happened to
Bruce Gilmore last year. I know
Gilmore would have been much
smoother this year."
And what did the "phenomenal"
sophomore think of the defeat
himself? "I ran out of gas," Gue
cione said. "I didn't pace myself.
At least the pressure is off now
and I'm glad of that."
