I Wrestlers tie No. 2 ranked North Idaho The Clackamas Community College wres tlers turned in one of the best performances of the year, but as Cougar Coach Norm Berney said, "It wasn't quite good enough." They wrestled to a 19-19 tie with second- ranked North Idaho last Saturday night, The Cougars would have probably won the match if it had not been for the absence of Ken Lumsden due to the flu and the fact that the Cougars' leading winner Tom Zeigle had to move up to a higher weight class. The Cougars found it rough going at the outset of the meet losing their first three matches. Don Zellner finally got things going for Clackamas with a 3-1 decision over North Idaho's Dale Rekow in the 142-pound class. Steve Morris kept the momentum going with a 15-9 decision over Don Owen. The victory allowed Morris to finish the regular season undefeated with a 22-0-1 record. Rocky Schneider was upended by Paul Hamilton at 158 by a 10-3 score. Hamilton finished fourth in nationals last season. Wayne Snoderly got the Cougars back on the winning track in pinning Gary Krano, a two-time state champion from Washington, in the third round. Joe Davis gave Clackamas its first lead of the meet when he decisioned John Hen- drix, the defending regional champion. The Cougars' lead 15-14 when Kim Roehl, the Cougars' 198-pounder, was de feated by North Idaho's Gary Germundson, 16-3 to give North Idaho the lead again, 19-15. e te Berney is looking for a strongl mance at Eugene and said the tj should be strong in the regionalsl team can stay healthy.
