PENNSYLVANIA UN 5-2531 Lehigh Wrestling Coach Faces Gigantic Rebuilding Program By JOHNNY BLACK Take away a national cham pion, two eastern champs and two third-place EIWA finish ers and you're faced with a tough rebuilding job. That's exactly the situation that faced Lehigh wrestling coach Gerry Leeman at the start of the current season. Graduation had taken a heavy toll—Ed Hamer, eastern champ at 177 and national titleholder at 167, Dick Santoro, eastern champ at 137, John Driscoll, 147-pound EIWA kingpin, and Leon Harbold, winner in the EIWA 130-pound consolation match. Scholastic deficiency added another third place eastern fin isher, 157-pound Greg Ruth, to the list of departed stars. But Lehigh is a wrestling school, long noted for recruiting and de veloping superior grappling tal ent. And Leeman wasted little time in coming up with a corps of flashy sophomores Bob Dalling, Doug Baillie, Curt Alexander, Dave Angell and Jim Detrixhe. Leeman apparently decided to go all the way. Not one senior ap pears in his starting lineup, and he has used as many as seven sophomores in some matches. The Engineers have won only one of three matches but have looked impressive in each out ing and Nittany Coach Charlie Speidel has been grilling his men for what is expected to be one of the toughest matches on the schedule. Speidel is expected to go with the same basic lineup that has whipped through an unmarred season in three tests so far, but may make one change at 130. Donnie Wilson, ex-Ohio veter an, who won five of seven matches for the Lions last year wrestling mostly in the 123-pound class, has been rounding into shape in recent practices and may NOW--IHUR'S ANNUAL JANUARY CLEARANCE SALE COLORED REGULAR $3.95 REGULAR $2.95 ddd •:?` Aar start in place of Gordie flanks in the 130-pound slot.

Their win was a hard-fought 16-14 verdict over Syracuse. An gell and Detrixhe have looked the best among Leeman's sopho more crew. Angell, a 157-pounder from Cranston, R. 1.. lost his first match to Cornell's top-flight veteran Al Marion, but has won handily in his last two outings. Detrixhe suffered a similar fate wrestling in the 177-pound clas at Cornell, but looked sharp in decisioning his Syracuse and Oklahoma opponents. Alexander, conversely, has lost all three matches, but this is no reflexion on the ability of the 137-pound soph. His opponents were three of the best in the busi ness—Dave Auble, Cornell's na tional champ, Les Austin, highly respected Syracuse matman, and Stan Abel, Oklahoma's former NCAA champ. Being juniors, 167-pound Thad Turner and 147-pound Bob Gunst seem a little out of place in Lee man's young lineup, but the two have been the most successful wrestlers for Lehigh this year. Both have 2-0-1 records. The versatile Turner, a Phil lipsburg product who is captain of the Engineers this year, notched one of his victories in the unlim ited division. Only a draw with Oklahoma's Larry Gregory has marred Gunst's perfect slate.
