Lehman grapplers By CHARLOT M. DENMON Staff Writer “We lack depth on the squad this season,” said Lake-Lehman wrestling Coach Ed Ladamus. “We have less than 20 boys working out and many of these are new Kids. It’s a lot less than usual. If a boy gets hurt we’ll be in trouble. “Over the past few years, we have had a*34-8 record,” Lada- mus added. “We can’t expect t odo that well this season. We will have to forfeit 98-1b., unless a boy comes out in the next week or so.” The Knights lost six starters through graduation, two of them, Austin and Joe Smith placed at states. Other starters last year were Mark Yaple, Bill George, Bob Guzenski and Ed Monaco, Terry Smith and Chris Frederick. Timmy Bernick should do well as should Ted Naugle and Tom Wandel but these latter boys need A more experience. Ladamus said in his opinion the teams to beat this year are Wyoming Area, Meyers and Hazleton. “Maybe it’s our turn to lose this year, but we’ll be in there doing the best we can. You never know. Our kids are tough competitors,” he said.

Sophomores Tom Duffy and Sean Clark are work- ing hard and should fit into middleweight spots. Others looking good are Anthony Stratford. Although the Knights lack depth this season, they have some good wrestlers coming back. Junior Matt Reinert is a good middleweight and Senior Dave Guzenski, injured last season, is a good lightweight. Don Spencer, who suffered an injury in football, is now fully recovered and will be back in the lineup. By JOHN HOINSKI Staff Writer The Dallas High School wres- tling program has been on the downside the last few years. But with 27 lettermen returning from last year’s squad, things are finally beginning to look up. “We can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel,” coach Larry Schuler said. “We have six seniors returning and we also have a lot of depth. I can realistically see us going .500 or better.” Jerry Ogurkis, (155), Jim O’Donnell (105-112) Eric Olsen (119) Bill Janosky (138) Mike Richards (138-145) and Gene Faulls (138-145) all had fine seasons last year and should again provide the strength for this year’s squad. But Schuler will have plenty of depth should injuries set in as was the case last year. O’Donnell, Art Meholchick, Jim Neweel and Dale Morris will operate in the lower weight classes as will Truyen Huynh and Keith Graham, who had an outstanding year last season on the junior varsity level. Scott Drasnin, Nathan Kelly and Lee Williams will be com- peting at the 132 and 138 classes 675-4232 while Mike Keen, Brian Gay and Ron Post will do so at 145 and 138 respectively. The Strange brothers, James and John will be at the 155 and 167 pound spots and Paul Mehol- chick, a senior, will do battle at 167. Dale Williams and Tom Schacht will wrestle in the heav- ier levels. “We will be solid through the middle weights, but we are also young,”’ Schuler explained. “Our main goal is to improve on last year’s record and to improve steadily as the season progresses’’ Wyoming Area and Meyers will probably be the teams to shoot for, but Hanover, Crest- wood and Coughlin should all be tough, too. The Mounts, how- ever, will not be intimidated. “I think we can hang in there > LARRY SCHULER Dallas wrestling coach pound, 5 point buck at 8 a.m., * achie wie whe abi alae aloe adie da 3 wba ate Je FIR Fe wi ER rig iN FR Lat 5 rate abe ache whe whe wt IER x3 a Xe XA ry Men’s Long Sleeve bo oot & ¥ FH. ren rip Fe Xp xR pra xi ae a wy Yor whe Adult Fae whe whic whic <b wo * ALL WESTERN SHIRTS & whe 7 Re is 20% OFF : ORI kd i Pauly Friedman Advisory Board Officer Penn State Alumna 1952 Bachelor of Science Stanley M.
