Matmen Will Test Quakers On Saturday

"We're thinking of Penn, then we're thinking of exams, then we're thinking of Rutgers..."

That's the way coach Bob Pickett described his wrestling team yesterday. But he and his team are thinking of one other thing as they prepare for this Saturday's Penn meet--the Ivy wrestling championship.

After breaking Cornell's 31-game winning streak last Saturday, the Crimson has cast itself as the favorite for this year's title. It won't be easy from here on in, but the worst is past with Cornell.

Penn remains as a secondary challenge. The Red and Blue are usually a good squad, the Crimson crushed them last year, 23-9, in Philadelphia.

This year, Penn returns with only three wrestlers from that squad: captain Mike Schiffman, Dick Levitt, and Joe Geeb. All three of them lost against Harvard last year.

Pickett currently intends to counter with the same line-up that beat Cornell, including sophomore Howie Freeman at 191. Freeman scored the decisive victory in last week's meet.
