I Meanwhile back to the ranch (commonly called a field house) the Lions expect little trouble from Coach Warren Neigers' crew who have a 3-2 record. Pitt's main scoring hopes lie in triple-threat ,Dave Hirst. The native Philadelphian is a whiz at tumbling and should lock up in an inter-city battle with the injured Cunningham for third place on the mats. The top spot on the mats is a battle between defending cham pion Dave Dulaney and Don Neeld who finished third in the Easterns. Neeld had 262 and 245 scores in the championships.

Cacolice's best time to date has been a 4.3. The slowest time of the East's best rope climbing team of Vince Neuhauser, Don Little wood and Jack Hidinger has been a 4.0. But the Pitt rope is a "slow one" in that it has a lot of swing which cuts precious tenths-of seconds from a climber's effort.
