Matmen Prime Target
Of Eastern Hopefuls
By JOHNNY BLACK
The Penn State wrestling,
squad is sitting in a very pre
carious position. Perched atop
the heap in eastern collegiate
mat competition the Nittany,
Lions have become "sitting
ducks" for "spoilers" or ener-1
gQtic clubs still aiming for the
plum themselves.
Coach Charlie Speidel's grapplers,
hold first place in the Eastern In
tercollegiate Wrestling Associa
tion with victories over Army, Le-
high and Cornell.
Although they dropped from
first to third in the latest na
tional rankings released by the
Amateur Wrestling News, the
Lions are still kingpins of the
East with non-league triumphs
over Colgate, Michigan and
Maryland.
The undefeated Blue and White
matmen have four dual meet op
ponents remaining on their sched
ule. And at least two of these
Navy and Pitt are definite
threats to the Nittanies' claim to
eastern supremacy.
Pitt also boasts an unmarred
slate after meetings with four ea
stern rivals and is the_ club that
could make the strongest bid to
wrest the leadership from Penn
State.

Snow Ends Crisis
At Olympic Ski
SQUAW VALLEY, Calif.(lP)
—Welcome snow wiped out a
flood threat and turned gloom,
into joy yesterday as Olympic
skiers took to the trails.
With the winter games sched
uled to open in just nine days, the
weather remained of prime con
cern after heavy rain Monday'
brought a crisis.
If temperatures remain low,
officials won't worry. It was
below freezing yesterday=good
weather for skiing.
The alpine downhill-slalom
skiers raced down Papoose Peak
in deep snow while the cross
country experts either stayed in
the valley or used a practice run

Pitt didn't open its season till
January. But when it did,. Rex
Peery, the Panthers' inimitable
coach, proved that he had utilized
the time wisely in developing new
men. He also called back a couple
of grapplers he had red-shirted
last year and the Cats proceeded
to wallop Maryland, Syracuse,
Navy and Army.
But of these two dangerous
foes, it will be Navy that gets the

near the Olympic courses at Mc-
Kinney Creek, 17 miles south of
here.
"The snow is heavy and deep,"
said French ace Adrien Duvillard.
"But you can ski on it and that's'
the main thing"
The main thing to H. D. Tho
reau. managing director for the
games, was that the rain turned
to snow Monday afternoon, eli
minating a threat of floods in
the isolated 2 1 / 2 mile long valley.
Thoreau canceled an emergency
alert because "we expect the
snow, and we can handle it."
Crews worked through the
night, however, solving what
Thoreau called "minor problems
—removing fallen trees, repairing
power lines and checking the
water supply."
Dr. William W. Stiles, medical
director for the Feb. 18-28 games,
pronounced all water facilities in
the area safe.

first shot at the Lions. The Mid
shipmen have lost only to Pitt
and would love to play the spoil
ers' role when they get their crack
at the Nittanies Saturday in Rec
Hall.
Between the Navy and Pitt
meets Speidel's charges take on
Syracuse, then close out dual
meet competition at Rutgers the
first week in March.
The Navy, Syracuse and Pitt
meets are all part of winter sports'
doubleheaders at Rec Hall on the
next three successive Saturdays.
The high-riding Lion matmen
expo4.2nced trouble only in the
lightweight matches in then• last
outing at Maryland Saturday.
The - Terris' strategy seemed to
he to eke out a few points early
and then stay away from the Lion
ma tmen.
Lion captain Sam Minor spent
the better part of three periods
stalking his opponent at 147, then
lost the advantage when desper
ate moves backfired. He had to
come from behind in the last 10
seconds to earn a draw.
The only class in which the
Lions do not hold a win edge
over their opponents this year
is 130. Gordie Danks won at
Army and Colgate, but lost
against Michigan. At this point
Donnie Wilson took over and
has been unable to get started
on the win trail in three
matches.
Guy Guccione, 137-pound Lion
stalwart, scored the 15th victory
of his Penn State career against
the Terps to move within two
wins of Minor. the team leader.
The rugged little senior's ca
reer record, including four wins
this year, is now 15-8-3 compared
to 17-8-2 for Minor. Six of Guc
cione's triumphs have come in
eastern tournament competition.

Trackman Schwab Lost
For indoor Competition
Bill Schwab, a member of last year's crack 2-mile relay
team, will be lost to the track team for the remainder of the
indoor season. Schwab injured his foot while running in
practice at Rec Hall.
X-rays will be taken today to determine the exact extent
of the injury, but it is believed
that the middle-distance runner
suffered fractured bones in his
foot.
Schwab, who never ran track
until his sophomore year of col
lege, was being
counted on hea
vily this year.
Although Coach
Chick Werner
said that the sen
ior had not def
initely made the
'2-mile relay team
at the time of '
'his injury, he
considered a top
prospect.
With Schwab
out, the most Schwab
likely starting line-up for the tri
angular meet with Navy and Pitt
at Annapolis Saturday is Mike
Miller, Fred Larson, George Jones
and captain Dick Engelbrink.
The mile relay team will
probably be made up of George
Metzgar, Bob Szeyller, Don Da
vies and Dick Hambright.

TAKE-OUT
AD 8-1016
The pole vaulting ranks will be
weakened by the absence of jun
ior Ron Beard, who is not com
peting this year. But senior Dick
Gross and junior Dale Peters, the
other 2/3 of the top-flight trio, are
expected to take up the slack.
On the basis of their 90-19 vic
tory over Princeton eatlier this
season, Navy looks like a tough
team to beat
In that meet Hilder of Navy
high jumped El'4v2" and Hart
of Navy put the shot 521". both
Navy records.
The fact that both Navy and
Pitt have field houses in which
to practice puts Penn State at a
definite disadvantage in the field
events.
