THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 25. 1960 Pitt Matmen Should Give Nittanies Toughest Test The Nittany Lion rnatmen should meet their toughest competition of the year when they tangle with the Pitt Panthers on the Rec Hall mats Saturday night. The Panthers will roar into University Park with a 7-1 record, having lost only to Michigan. Pitt has met the same opponents as Penn State with but two excep tions. The Panthers wrestled Michigan State and NYU while the Lions met Colgate and Cor nell. Pitt holds victories over Mary land, 24-7, Syracuse, 25-5, Navy, 21-6, Army, 19-11, NM 36.0, Michigan State. 15-y, and Le high, 19-11. Their 1 -11 loss to Michigan came abo t a month after the Big 10 cl b dropped its season opener to enn State, 19-12. The Panthers' str ng showing this year may appear surprising on the surface, in light of the fact that they lost five top stars, including two former national champions from last year's club. But it is not surprising to those sagacious old fans that know Coach Rex Peery, a three-time national champ himself and de veloper of seven others. Undisturbed by the loss of Paul Powell, Tom Alberts, Bob Bubb, Sherm Moyer and Alex Skirpan, Peery took a couple returnees, five sophomores. and turned out a team that rates in the top ten nationally and sec ond in the East. Peery. a former Oklahoma State star, accepted a gargantuan challenge at Pitt in 1950, taking over a team that had lost 28 straight meets. But in just three' years he elevated them to the top of the collegiate wrestling ranks. Peery's 10 year coaching record of 81-26-1 includes one perfect season ,and five one-loss cam paigns. Under his tutelage Pan ther mat squads have twice fin ished second and twice finished third in the NCAA's. His teams monopolized the Eastern championship for the first three years they were in the EIWA.
