In the pre- season practices the Panthers looked as if they might improve their 1956-57 record. They had ten returning Iettermen, including the defending 127 pound league champ, Dick Briner. There were also several newcomers: Joe D'Amelio, Bill Ayers and Jim Strickland, who transferred from Abington High, Henry Kohler, and Geary Radcliffe. With Richard Osbeck elected as captain, Tennent was ready for its opening match against Pennsbury, the T957 champs. In this match Penns- bury handed Tennent its worst defeat in its wrestling history, 54-0. All of Tennent's men except Dick Briner, Otto Harazim, and Craig Yerkes were pinned, and Bob Dougherty lost his only match of the regular season. In the meet against Bristol, Ten- nent came close to winning its first match, losing by only six points. As the season progressed there was only one other close match, that against Palisades. The latter won 30-21 with a late rally. Two of Tennent's wrestlers finished the season with good records: Bob Dougherty chalked up seven wins and one loss, Dick Briner scored five wins, one loss, and two ties. At the county championships, both Briner and Dougherty finished second. This was one bright spot in a season of no wins and eight losses. The Junior Varsity Wrestlers completed the season with a three win and four loss record. Outstanding J.V.'s were 120 pound Eddie McPeak, 138 pound George Hobensack, and 155 pound Bill Schuler. In the Junior High Tournament Tennent was well-represented by Joe Van Loon, who won the T65 pound championship. With only four seniors on this year's squad, next year's team should improve on the 1958 record. 94

Although the girls lacked the wins, they had spirit, determination, and good sportsmanship. It was very evident, however, that from the first inning they were in trouble. Being convinced that they were the underdogs, they had difficulty in gaining the upper hand. Some good, fast pitching might have been the spark they needed to place them in the victory column, Although they have lost some of their best teammates through graduation last year, the 1958 team with its replacements and under the coaching of Miss Van Artsdalen is ready to move into the SSBSOD.
