TUESDAY. FEBRUARY 274 1962 Panther Grapplers Ruin State's Upset Bid, 15.14 Exuberant Pitt wrestling coach Rex Peery shuffled arpund the Panther dressing room Saturday night answering his well-wishers with a proud, "It's my .100 t h win, my 100th." But when the shouting and excitement of the locker room had finally quieted down, Peery began talking like a coach whO was mighty thankful for a thrilling 15-14 win over Penn State. • "After ;147 I thought we were beaten," an obviously ha Peery said. "The two men who won the match for us beat guys who they had lost to in high school," he explained. THE GEAPPLEFIS Peery , was referring to were Tom Jefferies and Ken Barr... State's underdog grapplers had moved , to a 9-6 lead after a win at 157 and the Lions still ha d two of their biggest guns yet to'wres tle—co-captain Phil Myer at 177 and sophomore strongman Ed POhland at 191. ' At this point it looked like a sure State victory and the fans who jammed Pitt's Field House could hardly believe their eyes. The Panthers • got a decision at 167, but Myer , and Pohland were next and no one, not even Peery, felt Pitt could' get two wins. , Myer stepped to the mat to face Barr, a man whom he had beaten in high school. Barr got a quick takedown and added a second period reversal to lead 4-0 before Myer seemed to realize he. was in a match. THE LION co-captain went to work in the final stanza with a reversal and penalty point, but it was too late. Barr had riding time and a,54 victory; Pohland was next to taste bit ter defeat from a man who the Lion 191-pounder had pinned in high school—Torn Jefferies. The Panther sophomore, ' • however, made it plain he wasn't wrestling .high school style. The former Greenville, Pa., star scored a first period, takedown_ Pohlad reversed in he second period, but' Jeffries escaped to take a 3-2 lead into the final frame.
