Aggressive Tactics
Hurt Lion Matmen
What happened at Army? That seemed to be the big ques-1
'lion Penn State wrestling fans were asking after the Lions I
got thumped by the Cadets last week, 21-6.
Although State coach Charlie Speidel- isn't one to alibi,;
the veteran mentor did have several possible explanations;
'for the surprising score.
.. "Our boys were just too eager to make a good showing,'
Speidel explained. - * ,* *
"We tried to outwrestle them
and they didn't want_ to wrestle.
I'd compare them to a football
team That punts all the time on
third down to kei p ' the other
team on the offense
-"I think they would have set
tled for the draw, but our boys
were 'over-eager and made some
mistakes which Army took ad
vantage of."
THE BEST EXAMPLE of this
lack of •cautiousness was the
Zion's 191-pounder. Ed Pohiand.
The. previously unbeaten sopho
more twice suffered reversals
when he lost his balance going
for a pin.s
"I never should hare lost. but
it was a matter of my slipping
when I was attempting a pin,"
Pohland said after the match.
Bob Haney, one of the two
Lions who managed to win at
Army. agreed - with Speidel. **They
seemed to stall and go for those
one-point wins," the unbeaten
PHIL MYER
sophomore said. "But they sure
did win those close bouts.' * * *

Basketball Spirit
Makes Comeback
There was another indication
yesterday that Penn State bas
ketball is on its' way back to
where it belongs.
Head cheerleader John Glass
burn said that the cheerleaders
will be on hand for Penn
State's three remaining home
games Tuesday against Get
tysburg; Feb. l 7 against Army
and Feb. 24 against Pitt,
Despite injuries to key per
sonal and the loss of sophomore
sensation Wayne Lundy, the
;cage= are on their way to a
winning season this year with
a 9-7 record.
And there are indications
that next year Egli may get
some additional grant-in-aids
to offer to talented high school
athletes.
This isn't the first time cheer
leaders have appeared at Lion
games. Up until a year ago
cheerleaders were present at
most home games, but a lark
of enthusiasm on the part.:of
fans discouraged the practice.
Let's make sore it doesn't
happen again. Cheer!'
