In Tourney
By JIM KARL
Penn State and Lehigh pro
duced three champions apiece
Saturday at Bethlehem, Pa.,
but the Lions couldn’t match
Lehigh’s depth and finished
third behind the Engineers
and Pitt in the Eastern mat
tournament.
Lehigh ran up a total of 88
points to win its 15th title since
joining the EIWA in 1913.
Pitt, with two eastern champs,
was second with 64 points, fol
lowed by Penn State with 54,
Pitt and Penn Stale tied for
the team title last year with
66 points.
Dan Johnston, Ron Pifer and
Johnston Oberly were the Lion
champions. All three shut out
their opponents in the final round.
Johnston beat Pitt's Daryl Kel
vington. 1-0, for the 137-pound
title in one of the most exciting
matches of the tournament.
After a scoreless first stanza,
Kelvington rode Johnston the en
tire second period.
Johnston went into the third
stanza with three minutes of
riding time against him. But he
stayed with Kelvington the en
tire period, checking every
move the Pitt grappler made.
Midway in the period he put
Kelvington on his back. The ref
eree hesitated then held up one
finger for a predicament. The rest

IM Swimming Crowns
By JIM WELSH
Sam Weir’s record-breaking
performance in the freestyle
led Chester to a 27-14 victory
over Navy in the IM independ
ent swimming finals at Glenn
land Pool last night.
Sigma Pi’s superior depth made
the difference in the fraternity
final. It clinched a 26-15 victory
over Alpha Tau Omega despite
a brilliant diving exhibition by
ATO's Gordie Schmidt.
In the Indie meet, Jim Jenks
and Weir gave Chester a slim
10-8 lead by capturing the top
spot in the first two events. Then
Weir and Bob Turring finished
ahead of both Navy swimmers in
the breaststroke to vault Chester
Into a comfortable 18-9 lead
F. P. Sforza of Navy won the
diving competition but Chester
clinched the meet in this event
by taking second and third.
Sigma Pi, which didn’t enter a
team last year, wrapped up its
win in the first three events.
Lou Benzak and Doug Williams
finished one-two in the freestyle
to give Sigma Pi a commanding
8-1 margin.
Sigma Pi held its lead in the
backstroke despite a first place
finish by John Gasser of ATO.

of the period was anti-climactic
but the crowd of 4500 roared its
approval as Johnston tried to pin
Kelvington.
Johnston put on one of the
smoothest displays of sound wres
tling by any grappler in his four
bouts in the tournament. In three
of his four matches he didn't al
low his opponent a point.
He beat Mike Topping of
Franklin and Marshall, 6-0, and
Jim Estabrook of Harvard, 5-0,
besides shutting out Kelvington.
Mike Harman of Navy was the
only grappler to score on him,
getting a third period reversal in
a semi-final match won by John
ston, 4-2.
Pifer used a reversal in the
third period plus riding time
[Sigma Pi then clinched the title
in the breaststroke with Williams
and Roy Rasmussen sweeping the
top two spots.
At this point Sigma Pi had 20
of a necessary 21 points needed
for a team victory. With an auto
matic point for third place in
diving, the team championship
had been decided.
With the pressure off, Schmidt
recorded one of the highest div
ing scores in recent years. In
cluded in his remarkable 29.9
perfoimance was a back dive
described by IM meet supervisor
Dutch Sykes as “the finest single
dive I’ve ever seen.’’

player" the Orangemen faced all
year.
Even though he won the ballot

Floyd Scores
6th Round KO
Over Swede
MIAMI BEACH, Fla. (/lb—
Floyd Patterson fought back
from two first round knock
downs and knocked out Swe
den's Ingemar Johansson in
2:45 of the sixth round last
night.
Patterson retained his heavy
weight title in a rousing fight
of explosive punches.
Ingo, who also was felled once
in the first round, went down
from a chopping right hand
punch to the jaw late in the
sixth. He started to get up but
fell back as Referee Billy Re
gan counted ten. He almost
made the grade.
Patterson, fighting to retain
the crown he won back in un
precedented fashion last June,
had his legs buckled in the
third round and was shaken up
again early in the sixth before
he put over the crusher.
Knockdown timekeeper Hy
(Scotty) Lang said* Johansson
came up on one knee at nine
but then fell back at the count
of ten.
"He started twisting as he
got up," said- Lang. "He tripped
over himself and fell back at
the final count."
This third meeting of the two
slugging hea.vyweights was an
eye-popper while it lasted. Pat
terson, a 4 to 1 favorite who was
expected to flatten Ihe Swede
quicker than he did last sum
mer. was in real trouble in the
first round.
