Those several hundred “fair-weather” wrestling fans
who steered clear of the Pitt-Penn State mat meet at Rec
reation Hall Saturday night sure have been an unhappy lot
for the past two days.
They’re the ones who didn't want to go to Rec Hall just
to see the oft-beaten Lion mat- *• ★ *
men led to slaughter by a heavily
favored Pitt team,
They not only missed one of
the greatest upset victories in
the annals of Penn State sports,
but they also missed one of the
finest team performances of a
Irion mat crew.
Coach Charlie Speidel’s spirited
grapplers gave the Eastern Inter
collegiate Wrestling Association
something to talk about by rap
ping the Panthers. 14-11. It was
only the second defeat of the year
for the co-eastem leaders and
their third in the past three sea
sons.
Ironically, it was by the same
14-11 score that the 1957 Lion
matmen upset the Panthers at
the Pitt Field House last season.
Although that win stopped a 26-
match Pitt winning streak, it still
doesn’t compare with Saturday
night’s conquest.
For last year's team was much
more experienced and more
stable one than the squad that Guy Guccione
represented the Blue and White ~ . lives up to rating
at Rec Hall Saturday night and
besides, the Panthers were only 7 _ , , . _ . .

DeFelice match, Speidel sail
*Tm sorry that Guccione didn

Guccione surprised everyoi
hut his teammates with his dn
against DeFelice, a promine)
contender for national honors, f
finally looked like the wrestli
that he had been touted to be
the pre-season outlook.
For the Lions as a team,
brought a happy ending to
otherwise sad season. They fin
ished with a 2-4-2 record—one of
the worst in 49 years of wrestling
at Penn State. But a victory over
rival Pitt is worth more than any
record.

ica football players number nine,
including former Lion coaches
Bob Higgins and Joe Bedenk.

Spring is almost here —at
least we hope so. You’ve prob
ably been planning your spring
wardrobe, but I bet there’s one
thing vou have forgotten.
SOCKS!
It seems that socks are the
most overlooked item in any
one's wardrobe. A faded or tat
tered pair of socks will ruin
an otherwise neat outfit.
Due to a ma n u facturer’s
close-out Danks are offering
socks originally selling for $1
for just 69c or 6 pairs for $4.
These are the patterned socks
with the white foot In the
spring these socks will be hard
to get; so now’s the time to
buy. The background for the
patterns is also white. This
makes them the perfect thing
to wear with white ducks or
sneakers
The -patterns include dia
mond over argyle or Ivy stripe.
The he£l and toe are nylon
reinforced. These socks were
made by the Hemphill Argyle
Co., a well-known sock man
ufacturer.
All sizes from 10 & to 13.
