Gray
PITTSBURGH, March 14—George Gray’s upset thrashing of Pitt’s 167-pound defending
National Champion Tom Alberts helped establish Penn State’s defending EIWA champions
as the upset-maker of the 54th annual Eastern tourney at the Pitt Field House here today.
Gray’s 7-4 victory virtually eliminated Pitt from title contention. The panthers have
only three men entering tomorrow afternoon’s semifinal round. Cornell, with six in tomor
row’s round and 16 points, looms
as the team to beat with Syra
cuse, five men and 15 points, and
Lehigh four men and 14 points,
trailing in that order. Penn State
is fourth with 11 points.
Coach Charlie Spaidel sent
two other men into tomorrow's
action outside of Gray—two
time EIWA champion Johnny
Johnston and sophomore Guy
Guccione. Johnston; the lop
seeded roan at 130-pounds, will
meet an "old friend" in Syra
cuse's George Creason in ihe
semifinals. Johnston will be
- trying for his third straight fall
of the tourney.
In the other Penn State semi
final pairings, Guccione, who beat
third-seeded sill Grifa of Rut
gers, 10-3, in tonight’s quarter
final round, will face second
seeded Dick DeFelice of Pitt and
Gray will battle fourth-seeded
Bill Murphy of Syracuse.
Three of the other Lion entries
were eliminated tonight and two
others made their exit this after
noon.
Gordon Danlcs. Carl Poust
and Hank Barone were to
night's victims and Sam Minor
and Ray Poltios were the after
noon losers. Both Minor and
Poltios had the misfortune of
drawing seeded men in their
opening matches.
Gray put quite a dent on the
reputation of Alberts with his as
tounding 7-4 victory. The 167-
pound Panther had been beaten
In only one-match this year, and
this , was via a default'when Al
berts was injured in a dual match
with Mankato State’s Roy Minter.
. Alberts’ injured shoulder was
taped up and it no doubt bothered
him. But that still doesn’t take
anything away from Gray, who
wrestled one of the best bouts of
his career; The first, period was
scoreless'and Gray chose top to
start the second frame.' Alberts
quickly reversed. With a half
minute left in the period Gray
reversed and worked his foe into
a cradle hold." The cradle was
worth 2 points for a near-fall as
the buzzer sounded.

period and waited until 45 sec
