In other words, things aren't exactly m your favor. It just so happens that Bill Kofi. Penn State’s wrestling coach, has a team with five sophomores and he opens to morrow night against Lehigh at Grace Hall. But Koll doesn’t feel things are that much against him. ‘'We’re certainly not mak ing the trip with the inten tion of losing,” he said ves teidav afternoon.

U’eltstmie expects trouble be cause of the attrition time, in Five Sophomores To Start was referring to is. of course. Grace Hall. And meeting the Engineers in that place is wrestling’s version of facing SI. Joe’s in the Palestra. Fans Unnerving Lehigh fans are. lo put it calmlv. fairly high-strung in regard to the fate of their grapplcrs. And they have been known to voice their sentiments in rather loud fashion. They also like to see their wrestling close up—the near er the mat the better. So if you can envision a few thou sand people squashed into an area about the size of the ticket booth at the Cathaum, all breathing down your neck and 'homing in vour ear. you've got the perfect de scription of Grace Hali. It’s murder. And so is Lehigh’s wres tling team.

Mass., who has been one of the lop five eollegiato all-a'oiind men in Hie country for the past two seasons but who has labored in tlie shadow of Jacobson and Cohen. Beyond this pair, however. cxeept for specialists like Doug Collins. Dennis Paoletli. Gene Schofield and Gary Williams, exoerience is hard lo come bv. Normally, a little inexoeri ciicc world not be hard lo swallow, blit then ltlfiti isn’t going to be a normal year, at least in the ntlehonk. Tile NCAA gymnastic rules' were changed after Ihr 1965 campaign, but iinforhmatrlv for the Lions, the changes hit the team where it hurts most— the lack of experience in tile ranks. According to the new regula tions, each team may enter four men in each event, as long as one man, the all- 123 and Billy Stewart, who holds similar honors at IST, the Engineers have run up a record of 3-1. They’ve beaten Cornell, Syracuse and Yale, losing only to perennial powerhouse Oklahoma. Just the fact that Lehigh has wrestled four matches to the Lion's none gives them a tremendous advantage. The fact that a rundown of State’s roster looks an awful lot like last year’s freshman lineup may give them another ad vantage. Only time will tell Two Veteians Koll does have a couple of veterans in co-captains Jerry Seaman and Ellery Seitz, who will go at 160 and heavy weight respectively. Both got off to slow starts last year. Seitz due to a broken arm and Seaman due to being pressed into service in the heavier weights, but both were strong in the stretch run.

Providing that good lourth man in every event is what will bother the Lions this sea son, because of the scarcity of talent and experience through out the entire team. This year the fourth man will he very important, too. be cause of the revision in (he NCAA scoring system. Pre viously points were awarded that the Lion?
