However, certain positions are
almost certain. They are in the

Santoro, 147, and rookie star Greg

and heavyweight.
According to a source close to
the Lehigh scene, the Engineers
expect no trouble in the 130, 147
or 157 duels with a "sure win"
due at 147. They see the 137 and
167 matches as the key battles,
with possible wins coming at 123
and 177 depending on who
wrestles for them. Oberly is con
ceded a victory at heavyweight—
but, of course, why not?

The Nittany freshman grapplersj

a stiff one it will be—when they
host the powerful Lehigh frosh
at 6 p.m. on the home mats.
The baby Engineers smothered
Cornell in their initial encounter
by a 33-3 score. Lehigh won the
first match by a decision, then
proceeded to register six straight
falls—three of them in the first
period—before bowing in the
heavyweight bout.
Tony Scordo will open for the
Lion cubs against Bob Dalling in
the 123-pound class. Art Ravitz
will follow at 130 with Mike
Greiner as his opponent.
The 137-pound bout will pit the
Lions’ Ray Connell against Cur

will meet Sterling Sowden in the
147-pound class.
The 157-pound fray looms as
the top match of the evening;
when the Nittanies’ two-time
state schoolboy champ, Ron Pifer,
shares the mat with Phil Ed

at 145 last year.

Penn State's gymnasts open
their bid for a ninth Eastern

With the loss of four spe

a team today in which half of

Hosts
Trying to get back in the win column after almost upset
ting West Virginia Thursday night, the Penn State basketball
team travels to Rutgers University tonight to take on the
Scarlet Knights.
Rutgers has been “hurting" for experienced hands this
year, as they have only three let
termen back. So far this season
the Knights have won four and
lost six. They finished in fifth
place in the Downeast Classic
over the Christmas holidays.
The Rutgers attack is led by
senior captain Bruce Webster.
The 6-1 forward was the leading
scorer for the Scarlet last season
with a 14 point average, and this
year, after a slow start, has fin
ally hit his old form.
Coach Warren Harris has a
height problem on his hands,
as his team averages only 6-2.
