peidel Pessimistic
Penn State wrest! irig coach
Charlie Speidel has been coach
ing long enough to realize that
It is suicide to heap praise upon
a team before the season begins.
“That sort of thing can lead to
pothing ; but trouble," Speidel
says, "because if you say that you
nave a good team, and somehow
things don’t work out, you have
to eat your words.”
! Speidel won’t have to eat any
pf the words he’s said thus far
this year, though, because he's
hot/sure just who will compete
fort State in the various weight
classes, and therefore ranks close
to another successful but pessi
mistic Nittany mentor—Rip En
gle.
Right now all Speidel is inter-
ested in is getting his grapplers
into shape. As -an added incentive
he's presently staging a tourna
ment among the men to see just
who -is superior in, the various
classes. .Men.are paired according
to their' present weights and Spei
del hopes, that by the time next
week rolls around many. of the
wrestlers’ will lose some added
poundage.
Next month the season opens in
earnest. By that time 'Speidel
should have a good idea of how
the weight classes should stack
lip. Rightjiow freshmen die bat
tling against upperclassmen in
these "fun. affairs,” as Speidel
has dubbed them.
Based on last year’s record, it
would seem as though the Lions
are blessed with an abundance
of lightweight wrestlers but lack
strength and depth in the'heavier
brackets.
Denny Slattery appears to have
the inside track on the 123-pound
spot with his main opposition
coming from Jim Pittman.
At 130, a “battle royal” could be
staged at the nightly eliminations
before the coming meets. -In fact,
it might be a better bout than
the one staged against the win
ners' opponent because it pits the-
Lions' regular 123-pounder for
most of the last season, Mark
Piven, against the incumbent Bob
Haney.
The 137-pound class also Includes
a talented lot. Presently Piven
and Steve Erber are: battling it
out for pr.e-s'eason supremacy, but
Jay Wmdfelder is expected to
move up a weight to.challenge.
Captain George Edwards is a
fixture at the -147-pound class.
From here on, Speidel will be

Speidet's strong points for the

action last year, and Fred Euter
