Key Personnel Losses
Hamper Lion Matmen
By IRA MILLER
Assistant Sports Editor
It was not a merry holiday
season for Charlie Speidel and
his Penn State wrestling squad.
The Lions, expected to be one
of the top contenders for East
ern honors this winter, dropped
their first two meets and now
face the prospect of an up
hill fight the rest of the way.
State, beaten 16-11 at Michi
gan and 25.6 at Lehigh, has
been hampered by a loss of key
personnel since before the sea
son started and continuing right;
up to now.
Losses Started Early
Even before pre-season drills
had progressed very far, the
Nitlanies knew they would be
without the services of Bob
Haney, unbeaten at 130 last
year, and Dave Thiel, regular
al 137 most of last season. Both

.had announced their intention
not to return—Haney because
lie had lost his scholarship by
going on academic probation
last spring; Thiel to concen
trate on lacrosse.
The next loss was 1.91.-
pot lder-heavyweight Ed Poh
-Iland, who was suspended from
the University near the end of
the fall term.
And this week academics
claimed two more victims
I Torn Patent and Dick Dewalt.
'f3alent, third in the East at 123
and second in the NCAA's at
115 last year, was dropped from
the University, while Dewalt,
a sophomore and former PIAA
champ, was placed on academ
ic probation.
Tough Schedule Ahead
So now the Lion matmen
must go through the remain
der of what is probably their
toughest schedule ever with just
four lettermen left captain
George Edwards (147), Marty
Strayer (167), Mike Gill (177)
and Dick Walker (191).
State's opening setback at the
hands of Michigan was no
cause for alarm because ' the
Lions gave a good account of
in effect
themselves against the defend
ing Big 10 kingpins. But the en
suing thumping against Lehigh
with the loss of two more reg
ulars is more than adequate
cause for concern.
Only Strayer has not tasted
defeat in the Lions' first two
meets. The defending Eastern
167-pound runner-up overcame
a 5-0 deficit to gain a draw
at Michigan, then blanked Le
high's Bill Lachenmayr, 5-0.
5 Wins in 2 Meets
Balent, Mark Piven (130) and
Edwards were the Lion victors
against Michigan while only
Strayer and Dewalt were able
to pick up points in the Lehigh
meet.
Balent decisioned Ralph
Bahna, 12-10; Piven edged Bill
Johannesen, 5-4, and Edwards
beat Wayne Miller, 3-2, wres
tling at 157 (Dewalt wrestled at
147 against Michigan).
' Stever Erber (137), Dewalt
and heavyweight Don McKenna
lost by decisions against the
Wolverines while Gill was the
victim of a second-period win.
Against Lehigh, Dewalt's 11-7
decision of Harley Ferguson
and Strayer's win accounted
for all the Lion points.
Erber, McKenna Pinned
Balent, Piven, Edwards, Gill
and Walker were all decisioned
while Erber and McKenna were
both pinned in the final period.
Edwards' 9-7 loss to Engineer
captain Doug Koch was only
his second setback in 21 reg
ular-season bouts over three
years. He lost to Maryland's
Pat Varre, 4-2, in 1962 as a
sophomore and had been un
beaten in 16 straight bouts be
fore last week's loss.
