Grapplers deck Sooners 23-21
By JEFF YOUNG
Collegian Sports Writer
Wrestling coach Bill Koll
was at his excited best last
evening, and one would have
had to be blind, deaf and
dumb not to understand why.
His Lion grapplers put
together a couple of key rides
and key pins to pull out a 23-21
win over the Oklahoma
Sooners in Rec Hall.
"Yes, I'm very pleased,"
he smiled following the Lions'
fifth straight win. "Actually,
we could've done better.
There were a couple that
didn't wrestle up to their
ability, but then there were
also a cou ! that did real
fine. I'm. very proud."
The Sooners, now 4-3, were
fourth in the nation before the
match, and are winding up an
eastern tour which could've
been very tiring. However,
they didn't look tired through
the first six bouts.
"Check his transcript!" a
fan shouted in remembrance
of last year's Sugar Bowl as
Shawn Garel rode Lion
freshman Kevin Woodrow,
wrestling his very first
varsity match. It was to no
avail. After bridging most of
the bout, Woodrow was

decked at 5:42, and it was 6-0,
Sooners.
"If he had been wrestling
before tonight," Koll said,
"he might have beaten
of
guy. It was very unfair of us
to puthim in there like.that."
Penn State came back on
the next two bouts. John Fritz
wrestled strongly for an 11-5
win over Keith Green, then
Bob Medina came from a 4-2
third period deficit, nearly
winning but settling for a 4-4
•draw, with Norm Hatchet.
"Medina looked like the
typical Eastern wrestler
tonight," Koll said. "He was
just sitting back,=\vaiting and
waiting, and then he realized
'hey, maybe I can beat this
guy.' I think he should've
won."
Denny Sciabica and Sooner
Friday, January 11,1974
Brian Beatson battled hard,
but Beatson battled the
hardest in the final period to
win 9-7. Mike Mousetis never
really gave Frank Peck a
chance in an 11-4 decision,
which came as somewhat of a
surprise to Koll.
"Actually, Mousetis might
be the unsung hero tonight,"
Koll mused. "He's wrestled
some brilliant and some poor,
but tonight he was brilliant."
After Rod Kilgore's 16.6
superior decision over Chris
Koll, Lions Jerry Villecco and
Jerry White decided they
didn't like the 15-8 lead that
Oklahoma had built up.
Villecco went to work and
at 3:17 he sent the crowd of
6,000 into a roar by slamming
the shoulders of Jeff Callard
to the mat.
"Yeah, they're gonna
stretch that mat out
tomorrow so no one steps in
the holes," Koll jubilantly
said of the key fall.
White then made it five out
of five (pins, that is) for his
freshman season over a
stunned-looking Randy
Stalcup, and Penn State had
jumped out to a 20-15 edge.
Dan Brenneman moved to a
4-i lead after five minutes,
got warned for stalling in the
final period, but hung on to
win 6-3 and cinch the evening
for Penn State.
"There's some kind of
psychology about Oklahoma,
or any of these big teams,"
Koll said later. "The East has
too much respect for them.
They say 'oh, these are really
good wrestlers. We can't
touch 'em,' but once they
break through, they can do
it."

Lion Denny Sciabica holds on, but Sooner Brian Beatson eventually came out on top
Abel smiles on his losses
By RICK STARR
Assistant Sports Editor
"Now you see, he wasn't
stallin," Oklahoma coach
Stan Abel demonstrated,
throwing one shoulder down
almost to his waist and
sticking the arm through till it
came out the other side. "He
was trying to get that arm
and move it, but the fans
couldn't see it because it Was
underneath."
Now Abel was almost on the
floor.
"But we were trying to do it
that way, you see."
He stood straight again and
the smile went right back to
his face.
"Boy, I'm a fool for making
up a schedule like the one we

have this year," Abel then
admitted. "We have about 25
duals this year. Next year I'm
going to do it differently. No
more than 15."
Penn State has 11 dual
meets scheduled this year.
Abel talked and laughed
like he takes his losses and his
victories in about the same
spirit. Some of his kids let him
down he said, and some
weren't physically ready to
wrestle, but Penn State won
and Oklahoma lost, this time.
"Green, the kid that
wrestled Fritz, weighed 141
Wednesday night when I
called him at 11:30 p.m. in
Oklahoma. He worked out
there until his plane left at
2:30 a.m. and he was so
exhausted and dehydrated he
passed out in Pittsburgh. He
finally got down - to 128, but the
dehydration and such were
causing those muscle cramps
he was having during the
match."
The Fritz-Green fray was
interrupted twice because of
Green's problem. Fritz
handled the unfortunate
freshman. who was allowed
an extra two pounds to Penn
State's surprise, 11-5.

rested last night at Lock
Haven, but dropped an 11-5

decision to Mike Mousetis,
was the guy Abel was
disappointed the most with.
"Peck was the first one that
let me down," Abel said,
sliding his hands in and out of
his back pockets. "He doesn't
have that extra plus, but he
usually moves real well and
consistently."
Abel next did some
speculating on the upper
weights.
"I think if we had gone for
the draw at 190 we could have
had it. Then if we get the pin
at heavy, we would have had
it."
Lion Dan Brenneman
decisioned Tim Kearns 6-3 at
190, before Sooner heavy Bill
Kalkbrenner pinned Doug
Hazel. Oklahoma lost by two
points.
Abel took a reminder about
Lion Charlie Getty's possible
appearance at heavyweight
in such a situation with a
sparkle in his eye.
"Yeah now, but Getty
wasn't in too good shape. Bill
Kalkbrenner is one of those
guys that keeps after you."
Someone threw in the,
believe it or not fact that
Kalkbrenner had lowa State
big', man Chris Taylor on his
back for over twenty seconds,

before Abel answered a
Clarion State question.
"We were so down at
Clarion it's hard to evaluate
who's better. But if we had
wrestled at Clarion State the
way we wrestled tonight, I'm
sure we would have won."
Quite a tribute to Lion
coach Bill Koll's men.
"How many people were
here?" Abel said, turning the
tables. Finally it was decided
6,000 was the official number.
"That's a good Big Eight
crowd," he said.
"But you know," Abel
started, all his gestures
coming from his face,
"Callard should have beat
Villecco. He made that stupid
move and that was it, Villecco
pinned him."
Abel made a final
consideration, then a
comparison before checking
in with his team. This one
involved Villecco and Clarion
State NCAA champ Bill
Simpson, who pinned Sooner
Randy Staleup in their
meeting this year.
"I think Villecco is tougher
than Simpson, he does more
things well."
A janitor, slamming the
bleachers into the wall,
punctuated Abel's last word.
