remaining games may be the
toughest any State cage team has

assignment. Winning at Navy is
almost as hard as beating West
Virginia at Morgantown.

State should be well rested for
its invasion of Navy. The Nit

Piven Wins Position
For Gobbler Match
Charlie Speidel's intrasquad wrestling tournament is over
and out of it came a big change in the Lion lineup for Satur
day's match at Blacksburg, Va., against the VPI Gobblers.
Junior Mark Piven, a letterwinner for• the Lions last year,
will wrestle at 137 pounds. Piven won the tournament with a
pin over Dick Campbell and a decision over season-long
regular Dave Thiel to gain the starting assignment.
He takes the place of Thiel
a sophomore, who has won two
bouts against a loss and a tie thi
year.
However, Speidel calls Piven
win "a good thing for the team.
"When you have goo& stronj
competition on your own team,
Speidel said "then it makes bet
ter wrestlers out of everyom
Good competition means - gaol
wrestling."
PIVEN CAME to State hei
aided as a great wrestling star
but one thing or another has kegs
him from reaching his potential.
Last year he had a 3-1-1 recorf
wrestling at 123 pounds before
hand injury shelved him for the
season. '
Piven 'was ineligible the fir:
half of the season and he alsi
added extra weight.
He also had trouble getting tr
Campbell in the weekly 'elimina
tions—that is until this week.
Once he conquered Campbell, he
seemed to be over the hill. Piven
beat Thiel, 7-0, and came very
close to pinning him.
OTHERWISE, things went as
expected in the tournament which
Speidel set up to bridge a two
week gap in the Lion schedule.
The Lions last wrestled Jan. 19
when they beat Cornell; 21-10.
"It gave the boys a chance to
keep in shape and also battle it
out for a position in the lineup,"
Speidel said.
Denny Slattery had to wrestle
Tom , Balerit twice - before their
match at 123 pounds was decided.

The two drew the first time, but
Slattery came back to win the
second time, 4-2.
Bob Haney (130) and George
Edwards (147), both unbeaten in
five matches, easily won their
divisions.
Art Weiss beat Chuck Beatty,
8-4, in the finals of the 157-pound
bouts, but may be missing from
the lineup. Weiss has come down
with a cold and may be forced to
miss the trip.
MARTY' STRAYER. the Lions
fast improving 167-pounder will
be seeking his fourth win of the
season against the Gobblers while
Mike, Gill will get the starting
nod at 177 pounds. "Rolling
Rock" Ed Pohland will wrestle
at heavyweight for the Lions. ,
Speidel isn't worried about
the match and the layoff.
"The layoff won't be as dis
asterous to us as one would
think," he said, "because we
aren't wrestling- a strong team
this week. They
,have some good
boys but haven't faced the cali
ber of teams we have."
