Boast Impressive Wins
Penn State's champion Eastern gymnasts bow out at 8
tomoilow night in another battle of the undefeated. The final
foe is Michigan which went through seven Big Ten matches
victoriou , ,ly. Their 9-0 record includes wins over both defend

to give the Lion , . their toughest
competition in the Nationals next
weekend.
Therefore. the Michigan meet
should give the Lions a good
clue as to their chances in the
Nationals.
The big names in the Big "M"
lineup that have carried the team
through unbeaten include Nino
Mai ion, Jim Hayslett and Walt
Dozauer three
gentlemen wli o

losing last year,
51-45
But the Wol
verines have
hown definite
improvement
this year and
have come up
with a sopho
mole who has
carried a consid
erable amount of the scoring,
Rich Montpetit.
Montpetlt, who hails from
Montreal, had a fifth, fourth, a
pair of thirds and a second to
rack up valuable team points in
the win against Illinois. In most
of the events he was either
beaten by Grossfeld and/or
Tonry which should prove in
teresting in comparing his
scores against the Lions' Ar
mando Vega. Incidentally, Ve
ga and Jay Werner will defi
nitely work the first five
events tomorrow and are en
tered in the sixth, tumbling.
Hayslett appears as their top
threat in the opening event. free
exercise. The two M's— Marion
and Montnetit give them good
depth on free "x."
Al Stall, who hit 272 against
Illinois, is tops on the side horse
with backing from the M's. The
M-squad then dominates the
learn scoring on high bar, par
allels and still rings, usually
teamed with Stall.
Although Michigan does not
appear to have the talent to de
efat a healthy Vega, they have
strong depth and can win on sec
ond, third and fourth place
points.
Tumbling should be the Wol
verines' strongest event tomor
row. (They are Big Ten champs
on the trampoline but. for ob
vious reasons, there will be no
tramp event. The rope climb
will be an exhibition and not a
learn event.)
Michigan's top tumblers include
Jim Brown (who has hit in the
high 270's) and Bill Skinner. Stall
and co-captain Hayslett.
Wettstone has promised a fast
and colorful meet, probably the
"best of the year." And Michigan
w ill be performing against its
first crowd in four figures. They

THE DAILY COLLEGIAN. STATE COLLEGE. PENNSYLVANIA
Eastern Champs Back to Defend
167, Heavyweight Mat Crown
Last of a Series
There will be plenty of collegi
ate mat champions entered in
I the 167, 177 and heavyweight
!divisions of this year's EIWA
i tournament,
Two of the tithsts are back to
defend the crowns they won in
last year's Eastern carnival; an,
other will be trying to regain a
championship after faltering last
March, and still, a third will be
seeking his first EIWA crown
after previously winning an NCAA
honor.
The first two individuals are
Rutgers' captain Chuck Crosby
and Cornell's co-captain Dave
Dunlop. Crosby won the 167-
pound EIWA title last year at
Pittsburgh while Dunlop walk
ed off with the heavyweight
crown.
The other returnees are Lehigh's
Ed Hamer and Pitt's Tom Alberts.
Hamer copped the 157-pound
Eastern crown as a sophomore
two years ago and Alberts won
the 167-pound national champion
ship as a rookie in 1957.
Hamer is entered in the 177-
pound bracket this time, but the
other three are set in their title
winning positions. That means
that Crosby and Alberts will be
going in the same class-167.
Crosby, who was unbeaten in
dual season with half of his
wins coming on falls, will prob
ably be seeded number one
with Alberts, 6-1-3 in the regular
campaign, next.
However, there are four other
highly-rated men entered at 167,
making this division one of the
strongest of the tourney. They in
clude Penn State's Hank Barone,
Cornell's Al_Marion, Lehigh's Thad
Turner and Syracuse's Harry
Pollak.
Crosby did not meet any of the
top contenders during the regular
season, but Alberts faced Barone,
... undefeated heavyweight
Turner and Pollak. He beat Ba
rone, 10-2, and tied the other
two—Turner, 4-4, and Pollak, 1-1.
In other matches, Barone pinned
Pollak and lost on a decision to
Turner, 4-1; and Marion edged
Pollak, 4-3.
The top-seeded spot at 177
will probably go to Hamer, but
he has plenty of competition
from the likes of Penn State's
George Gray, Navy's Doug Vol
genau, Army's Art Bair, Har
vard's Bob Poster and Yale's
Hardy Will.
Hamer includes Volgenau, 5-1,
Bair, 1-0, and Will, 5-4, among
his dual meet victims this year.
Although he is a defending
champ; Dunlop will probably not

be top-seeded at heavyweight.
That's because Syracuse's unbeat
en sophomore sensation, Art
Baker, flattened Dunlop in the
regular season.
Baker also pinned another
top - rated contender, Army's
Bob Novogratz, and tied another
in Penn State's Johnston Oberly
2-2. These four—Baker, Dunlop.
Novograta and Oberly—compose
the top four of the heavyweight
class with other top competi
tion coming from Yale's Dick

Botula 2d Ground Gainer
Despite Elbow Injury
Pat Botula. Penn State's foot
ball captain-elect, was the team's
No. 2 ground gainer during the
1958 season. In spite of the fact
that he missed four and one-half
games because of an elbow in
jury, the 190-pound fullback from
Pittsburgh rushed for 342 yards
in 82 carries for a 4.2 average.
He trailed rushing leader Dave
Kasperian by 39 yards.
Injured late in the first half
against Pennsylvania in the Nit
lany Lions' second game of the
campaign, Botula was sidelined
I as his teammates battled Army,
I Marquette, Boston University
I and Syracuse. He returned to
duty against Furman on Nov. 1.
