By JOHNNY BLACK Assistant Sports Editor Two first period falls by senior Guy Guccione and soph omore Ron Pifer provided the Penn State matmen with their margin of victofy as Coach Charlie Spiedel’s grapplers de feated a staunch Michigan wrestling aggregation, 19-12, before a packed Rec Hall au dience of 5500 last night. Guccione, veteran 137-pounder, and Pifer, 167-pound sophomore sensation, contributed five points apiece to the Nittany Lions’ total' while Jerry Seckler added three more with a decision in the 157- pound bout. The Wolverines, one of iha fop-rated Big Ten contenders this year, captured two matches by decisions and three bouts ended in draws. Guccione pancaked Michigan’s Futz Kellerman in 2:45 of the 137-pound match and pinned him without changing his hold. His pinning combination was a bar and chancery. Pifer who has thrown every man he has faced this year—and al ways with the same hold—parried with the Wolverines’ John Hol lenbeck long enough to slip his famous double grapevine on him and that was it. Only two minutes and 34 seconds elapsed before the referee’s slap on the mat signaled the fall. Pifer's fall pushed the Lions' team advantage to seven points (15-8). a spread that they main tained till the end as the,last two bouts ended in draws.

The game produced a stirring finish in which both teams saw victory slip from its grasp as players missed TD passes in the; waning minutes of the contest. The rampaging Lions had tallied the amazing total of 319 points] against their opponents’ 27 in mne| games that fall, holding six of| their foes scoreless. They swash buckled their way past Washing ton State, 27-6, Bucknell, 54-0, Fordham, 75-0, (no wonder they dropped football), Syracuse, 40-0, West Virginia, 21-12, Colgale, 46- 0, Temple 7-0, Navv, 20-7, and Pitt, 29-0. But all this failed to impress the Texans. While the congenial Cotton Bowl hosts treated the North ern press delegations to south ern fried chicken in the press box, the incomparable Doak Walker started the Mustang's first-half stampede by tossing a 50-yard scoring aerial to Paul Page in the early minutes of the fray. As Penn State Alumni Corres pondent Ridge Riley described it. i ‘Their hospitality to all of us was 1 natural, it was friendly and sin cere. But at the same time you felt their supreme confidence that SMU was going to to kick hell out of us on the football field.

The deft little tailback passed 12 yards to Bobby Hicks, who made a circus catch. Petehel next ran for 15, then hurled a 65-yard strike to Larry Cooney in the end I zone. Ed Czekaj, present business jmanager of athletics at the Uni versity, kicked the extra point 1 Coach Bob Higgins' fired-up Lions completely dominated play in the second half as their old single-wing machine ground out the yardage while the de fense held SMU to a mere 15 yards rushing and 24 passing. Again it was Petehel who played the starring role in the Nittanies* second touchdown drive. The fleet 145-pound scatback returned a jMustang punt to the SMU 9-yard |lme, and later on fourth down. I passed to Wally Triplett in the | corner ot the end zone. Czekaj’s conversion attempt was high and hard to judge, but the ref said no, and when, on the last plav of the game, Donnie lloggard couldn’t get his mitts on Petchel’s desperation pass af ter the clock had run out the Lions had to settle for a tie.
