Weight watcher
Grappler battles more than just Big Ten foes
By DM HYLAND
Collegian Sports Writer
EAST LANSING, Mich. After Penn State fresh
man Jason Betz lost the fifth place 126-pound match
at the Big Ten wrestling tournament to Michigan’s
Chris Viola on Sunday, he didn’t want to talk much. Of
course, he didn’t want to do anything except eat.
And that is just what he did. When his day of
wrestling was over, Betz made a bee-line for the con
cession stand and dug into a much deserved order of
nachos. After what Betz went through, one can’t
blame him.
The Lions 118-pounder, who entered the tournament
unseeded and very inexperienced, struggled all week
■ end to make weight, yet still wrestled six matches,
■ including five in one day, and earned an unexpected
■ sixth place finish. With his surprisingly strong finish,
Betz also earned a berth in the NCAA Tournament.
“It was one of the hardest things that I’ve ever had
to do,” Betz said.
The night before his matchup with Viola, Betz was
faced with the agonizing task of losing seven and a
half pounds. Despite the best efforts of the Lion
coaching staff, Betz was unable to drop all of the nec
essary weight that night, and was forced to go to bed
hungry in hopes of making weight the next morning.
An exhausted Betz was awakened the next day at
five in the morning by Lions assistant coach Hachiro
Oishi with weight yet to be dropped and a match yet to
be wrestled.
“I don’t think he knew where he was,” Lion coach
John Fritz said.

But when it caine time to wrestle, Betz definitely
knew where he was
Betz traded shots with Viola in the first period of
the fifth place clash Viola, however, pulled away in
the second period and built a 11-3 lead. But Betz had
worked too hard to give up at that point, and fought
Viola to the very end of the match, scoring a near fall
as time ran out to close the gap to 12-10.
The effort Betz showed in that match could be seen
in every match he wrestled in the tournament.
“I just can't say enough about Jason Betz,” Fritz
said. “He showed great effort.”
Although visibly dazed by the debilitating weight
loss, the natural 126-pounder was consistently
stronger than his opponents, controlling the pace of
his bouts through his quasi-conservative style.
In his first ever Big Ten tournament match, Betz
took on sophomore Tim Dernlan of Purdue. Despite
Dernlan’s advantage in experience, Betz took control
early and won with a overtime takedown, 7-5.
The next round saw Betz take on and lose a 6-5
heartbreaker to Viola, the only opponent who seemed
to be able to get Betz to wrestle out of character.
After scoring a victory over Dominic Caruso in his
first consolation ma'ch, Betz came out for the second
session of the day in !iery fashion. He dominated Min
nesota’s Kipp YVbhamsoii throughout the first period
and then (tinned bin' in the second. The match proved
to be the high point of Betz's tournament.
Betz now must look ahead two weeks to the NCAA
tournament in Minneapolis.
“Hopefully 1 can place up there,” Betz said. “If I can
stay focused I can handle it.”

Unranked
By STEVE FEITL
Collegian Sports Writer
EAST LANSING, Mich. An
unranked wrestler finishing
third in a highly competitive
tournament like the Big Ten
Championships is an interesting
story.
Add in the fact that he had to
beat the second and third-ranked
wrestlers along the way and it
becomes an impressive story.
Add in the fact that the same
wrestler had a left bicep bruised
so badly that he couldn’t even
curl his arm and you’d have the
story of Penn State wrestler Rob
Neidlinger.
The 190-pounder came to the
Michigan State campus with a
bum arm, but still was merely
one match away from competing
for a Big Ten title.
“See that bruise mark from
here to here,” Neidlinger said as
he pointed from the top to the
bottom of his left bicep. “I got
that before I came here. We
were playing kill ball, just the
game, and our fat heavyweight
(Matt Gaul) hit me.”
Neidlinger laughed about the
injury, as well as the manner in

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Tuesday.
March 12. 1996:
Diplomacy is a skill you will need
this year, because your self-expres
sion could be erratic. You experience
many conflicting feelings as you go
after what you want. You will get
where you want to go, but you will
need to do some processing. Get
plenty of rest so you can deal with
stress and issues in your day-to-day
life. If you are single, your desirabil
ity isn't the question. The concern
will regard your desires. If attached,
positive, sensitive communications
are necessary. SAGITTARIUS can
tweak you.
The Stars Show the Kind of Day
You'll Have: 5-Dynamic: 4-Positive:
3-Average; 2- So-so; 1-Difficult.
ARIES (March 21-April 19)
★★★★ You are in the limelight and
manage a lot very efficiently. Stay on
top of the positives. You have drive,
but someone could misinterpret it.
Conduct research, and check in with
someone who is far away. The possi
bility of travel lurks. Tonight: Reach
out to someone.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20)
★★★★★ One -to-one relating is
highlighted. Settle an immediate has
sle. A friend wants to engineer a cer
tain scenario, but it puts you in direct
conflict with a change or an opportu
nity. Examine your options with a
partner who has good intentions.
Tonight: Have fun.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20)
★★★★★ Defer to partners in your
quest for solutions. What you are
hearing could change, especially
when the boss flips his lid. Take a
quick course in diplomacy, and
grappler hits spotlight
which it occurred, that
the painful injury prohibited him
from using one of his favorite
maneuvers the underhook.
But wrestling injured is noth
ing new to Neidlinger.
At the same tournament last
year, he competed with a torn
ACL. Those results were not
nearly as impressive though, as
he found himself on the losing
end of two matches and did not
place.
That was characteristic of Nei
dlinger’s rookie campaign, which
Lion coach John Fritz said was
basically a wash due to several
injuries which slowed his
progress.
"This year he picked up a lot
of experience,” Fritz said. “I just
see him getting better and he’s
got a great career ahead of him.”
Neidlinger got off to a good
start on Saturday with a first
round victory over Jason Case of
Northwestern, 6-2.
Ahead was a difficult task for
Neidlinger, which came in the
form of second-seeded Aaron
Stark of Wisconsin.
Stark struck first with a take
down at 1:23, but Neidlinger was
able to reverse it before the end

you'll come out Hying. Maintain a
sense of humor, and you'l 1 have a lot
to laugh at. Tonight: Be out and
about.
CANCER (June 21-July 22)
★ ★★ Focus on getting the job done,
and you might be able to bypass
some of the unexpected hassles of the
day. News may force a change in
plans. Remain confident, and ex
plore options. Challenges surround
you; they may be a gift in disguise.
Tonight: Get a good night's sleep.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)
★ ★★★★ Your imagination knows
no limits. Figure out how to help
someone understand you. A miscom
muniealion could have financial im
plications. Be careful when dealing
with a child or a romantic attach
ment. Do what you can to remain
secure. Tonight: Go for a romp.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
★★★ Be sure of yourself; do not let
a partner get to you. A positive atti
tude goes far in making what you
need happen. Get in touch with a
family member who has a different
point of view. Someone’s attitude will
pass. Check out an investment. To
night: Do for yourself.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
★★★★★ Reach out to others.
Comprehending a change will help
you interact with someone. Follow
your instincts with a difficult situ
ation that has an impact on your
work. Rethink how you approach
your life and expectations. Tonight:
Hang out at a favorite spot.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
★★★ Be clear about your financial
choices. Changes empower you. Mini
mize a liability that is staring you in
the face. A risk could backfire in an
unforeseen way. Be more open to the
of the first period. A takedown of
his own with just 25 seconds left
in the match secured the 5-4 win
and brought the Penn State con
tingent in the Breslin Center
stands to its feet.
In the semi-finals, Neidlinger
fell to lowa Hawkeye Lee Full
hart who rode him throughout
the match en route to a 5-1 deci
sion.
“I thought I could beat him,”
Neidlinger said. “When I get rid
den like that, it takes a lot out of
you.”
Third-seeded Karl Roesler of
Illinois, Neidlinger’s opponent on
Sunday, also rode him hard but
this time Neidlinger came out on
top of a 6-4 score.
Neidlinger will have time to
improve his performance in the
down position during the two
weeks before the NCAA Champi
onships in Minneapolis. The hia
tus will also 'give the ill-fated
bicep time to heal.
And with those two factors in
his favor, Neidlinger hopes there
will be another chapter to his
story.
“I don’t want to consider this
to be just an experience,” he
said. “I want to keep on going.”

positive things in your life. Tonight:
Maintain a low profile
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
★★★★★ Be upbeat about what is
happening with a partner who may
be having a difficult time dealing
with changes. Family, home and your
personal life are highlighted. Revamp
a plan. Be more in sync with what is
going on. Tonight: Beam in what you
want.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
★ ★ Misunderstanding plagues your
thoughts and ideas. Listen more care
fully to a child or loved one, yet be
firm when requesting what is impor
tant. Do not expect resolutions today;
this situation is about establishing
your boundaries. Tonight: Vanish
quickly.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
★★★★★ Be in touch with your
goals as you deal with a friend. You
are trying too hard to make what you
want happen. Evaluate where you are
coming from in this relationship. Be
careful about spending, because it is
easy to go overboard. Tonight: Go
for what you want.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)
★★★ Stay on top of changes; your
style of adjustment could use some
brushing up today. Try to understand
where someone is coming from. Your
way certainly isn't the only way.
Loosen up, and work better with a
boss or partner. Tonight: You're in
the limelight.
