PAGE SIX Lehigh Ruins Pitt's Wrestling Record; Panthers Last Obstacle for Gymnasts It's too bad Lehigh's wrestling team toppled Pitt from the Eastern Intercolle giate Wrestling Association lead last Sat urday night. The Engineers beat the Panthers, 16-12, and thus spoiled the Lion mat men's chances of pulline, off the league's major upset for the thud year in a tow Penn State meets Pitt at 7 p.m Saturday in Pittsburgh In both the 1957 and 1958 campaigns, Coach Charley Speidel's Nittanies entered the Pitt match as decided under dogs against the unbeaten league pace-setter. But both times the Lions emerged with 14.11 upset victories. Two years ago, Speidel's crew bloke the Panthers' 26-match win streak with a win at the Pitt Field House but that Lion aggre gation later won the Eastern ti tle at the league's annual tourna ment. Last season's win was more significant. The Nittanies had IA on only one other match the whole season while the Panthers had posted an 8-1-1 mark—the loss coming from non-loop mem ber lowa State But once again Speidel outfoxed his Pitt counter rivri, Rex Peery. However, things will be a lit tle different this year, now that Lehigh has disposed of the Jun gle Cats. The Lions will still enter the meet as underdogs, but the odds won't be so high this time. Lehigh used a combination of four decisions and two draws to; slop the veteran-loaded Panthers.i The Engineers didn't lose match after the 130-pound class as they grabbed decisions at 137, 157, 177 and heavyweight and ties at 147 and 167 However, the meet wasn't de cided until the final bout when junior John Dri , ,coll eked out a 1-0 win over sophomore Bob Cu- Zik—brother of Pitt's All-Amer ican gridder, John. It was Gu -7110; fast match of the •ear Just last week he had edged regular heavyweight Tom Hall for the starting nod Two of the biggest surprises of the meet were in the draws. Pitt's Captain Bob Bubb held the East's defending 147-pound champion Dick Santoro to a 4-4 tie and Lehigh's sophomore Thad Turner battled to a 4-4 stalemate with Tom Alberts, former 167-pound NCAA titlist. Pitt's only winners were 123- pound NCAA champ Paul Powell Ina a fall over Dick Schmoyer, and unbeaten sophomore Larry Lauchle at 130. Lehigh's victories were record ed by Leon Harbold (7-0 over Sherm Moyer). Greg Ruth (5-2 over Alex Skirnan) and Ed Ha mer (3-1 over Tony Vuocolo). Just as a reminder—Lehigh beat Penn State earlier this sea son, 17-8.

PENNSYLVANIA After a "cold" day at Syracuse, the on gym team may have been awakened the fact that their season finale against tt will he no pushover, Withou Li to Pi . has record marred the services of injured Lee Cunningham, the Lions edged the weakest team in the Eastern Gym League by only nine points. Although the Orange were never seriously in contention Saturday, their high point score (43) indicates that the • Lions without Cunningham are going to have a harder time with Pitt than originally figured. The Skyscraper U. squad whip ped the same team by 20 points earlier this year, 57 1 / 2 -37 1 / 2 . And, coach Warren Neiger's boys onlyi losses to Army and Navy were close ones. They lost to the Ca-' dets by 49 1 /2-46% and to the Mid dies by 52-44. Although the Lions walked over the same Middies by 67-29, they had two factors going for them in that meet: I—they had their best day and, 2—they had a physically-able Cunningham who scored 10 points. Cunningham has been limited to light exercises this week fol lowing a minor operation on his left hand. The laceration for an infection will definitely hinder his effectiveness on any event and particularly on the side horse where the Lions need to win. The two events that worry coach Gene Wettstone in his drive for his record-setting ninth EIGL title are tumbling and the horse. Of the other four events, Pitt is a threat on only the flying rings. And the Lions' top ringman, Jay Werner, has not been consist ent enough on his specialty to count on a win. But the rope climbers, who have been taken for granted, too often, will be counted on to sweep the event for the fifth time this year. They won the distinction as the best in the East by beating the Army trio in the only real com petition they faced this year and should have no difficulty with the Panther trio. With Captain Armando Vega and Lou Savadove on the high bar and Vega, Savadove and possibly Werner on the parallel bars, the Lions should have little trouble building up a lead for the ringmen. Should the Lions lose though, they have consolation in the fact that they will only end in a tie with Army for the Eastern team crown But defending champion Army would get to keep the tro phy and that wouldn't be an ac ceptable consolation from any angle.
