Santoro Featured
In Semi-Veteran
Lehigh Mat Lineup
Lehigh will send a semi-veteran lineup, featuring defend
ing 147-pound Eastern champion Dick Santoro, onto the mats
Saturday night when it clashes with Penn State’s wrestling
team at Recreation Hall.
Santoro, a senior who has never been, beaten in his
collegiate dual meet career, heads ★ ★ ★
a list of six leltenvinners on the
Engineers’ roster. However, m Le
high’s two previous meets this
year, Coach Jerry Leeman has not
included all six as a unit in the
starting lineup
Only Santoro and Leon Har
bold and Ed Hamer a couple
of other two-year veterans
have seen action in both Lehigh
tilts. But‘Santoro is the only
one of the trio to win both of
his matches.
Harbold owns a win and a draw
and Hamer has a 1-1 mark. The
other veterans include Ed Slater
(1-0) at 130. John Driscoll (0-1) at
177 or heavyweight and Russ
Triponey (0-1) at 177.
Despite Santoro's experience at
Lehigh, this is his first year in
the role of “top dog" for the En
gineer grapplers. In his last two
seasons, he had to take a back
seat to Joe Gratto, a two-time
Eastern 137-pound tilhst and one
time 137-pound national kingpin.
But with Gratto graduated,
Santoro zooms to the forefront.
The ex-serviceman has won 39
matches, lost two and tied two
over his three-year span in dual
and tournament competition.
He *won the EIWA 147-pound
title last year after placing sec
ond behind Penn Stale’s Dave
Adams in 1957,
However, Santoro dropped
down to 137-pounds for the NCAA
tournament and wound-up third,
losing to the eventual champ,
Paul Aubrey of Oklahoma, in the
semi-finals, 5-3.
Thus far this season, Santoro
