Geneseo Lamron The LAMRON Pro Football Poll swings into its last tw0 veeks, with \Gadabout Gary\ Kromer clinging to a narrow lead, \Caledonia Curt\ Smith staging a late-season surge, and G e o r g e \ Petrotta still on the outside looking in. With 1 1 weeks down and on I y 26 games to go, Kromer, a 1 0 0 -t o - 1 longshot, now leads Smith by three games, and so the current odds-on-favorite last week called fo r concession. \I've said it before, and nere goes again. Smith is a loser,\ Kromer snorted, \he can't win, and he's just prolonging his o w n agony by not throwing in the towel. So right here and now, I call for that bum's concession.\ Smith, the 1971 title-holder and defending champion refused to concede, and then replied: \ICromer knows full well that I'm just setting him up for a last-minute kill. After all, I'm no Little Ned from the Third Reader And just remember this: Kromer's not a has- been, he's a W restlers Drop Trio by Gary R. Kromer The State Blue Knight wrestling team, with one big another, dropped its last three matches of the 1972 semester of the season and faces 1973 with some soul searching and a lot of thinking about keeping the shoulders o f f the mats. The Knights, after taking a commanding 19-3 lead with some exceptional wrestling in th e c l a s s e s Wednesday at the University of Rochester, fell apart in the upper classes and lost the match, Five pins ended the Kng ith s' hope for their first win of the season. They are now 0-4. On the Knights travelled to Oswego to take on the Lakers and the fine team a triangular meet and had the cla s s problems.

B o b Pszonak with a 12-0 decision but cost the team a point when he apparently used unsportsmanlike language to Pszonak after the match. Tandoii, after falling behind in the first period, cahrged on and ended the night with a 15-5 decision over Phil Shade. Then the roof fell in as Bob 158, Palmatier at 167, Tom Murphy at 177, Willie James at 190 and B e r t were all turned to the ceiling for a total loss of 30 team points. In the double dual match in Oswego, the lower weight classes were once more the main source of the team scoring. Coach Rose said that he was satisfied with his team's showing but projected that if the men in the upper weight classes had not been p i n n e d , Geneseo could have pulled o ff an upset. The results of the match, run in three rounds of six minutes matches, showed Solomon as the only Geneseo double winner and he got out of Oswego easily— with two wins by forfeit as neither Oswego nor Ithaca put a 118 lb. man on the mats.
