He. grinned . and pulled his' coat- up around .. .'his ears. ■ “How . were the Nationals, Doc?” we asked. '--“Okay,” the Chirper chirped.- ■“But you can tell them that the wrestling, business seems to be moving East. Michigan State nabbed ■ two -of the titles this r; year, plus Di Battista of Penn which gives the Eastern colleges -• some bit.of something.” All of which began a one-sided ' conversation in which the coach took the leading role and spilled ■ ;out ■ some interesting facts about the game called college wrestling. “Imagine, in the Eastern tour nament, we had 88 boys, and in the Nationals over the weekend •we had 138 lads, wrestling over five days, and there wasn’t a kid who got hurt. A lot of them like Charlie Ridenour were plenty, ■.tired,, but none hurt.” “Did you know, too, Doc, that 2~§£-. the eight champions crowned in the Nationals all came lout of- the same Central Tulsa :■ High School. They really grow : - -them put there from the eighth ■ grade on up.” ■ ' “Don’t think. Big Mike Kerns didn't .do a swell job. He lost to Levy, the champ, by one point .in the quarter-finals, only after Levy tricked the referee into ■ penalizing Mike for stalling. •'■ Then he lost in the consolations -'-by a fifteen-second time advan • tage.” “They just gave me 400 feet of film to make movies of to use ..-.next year. We’re going to do -.them in slow-motion.” The Chirper buttdhed his coat .r.-and headed down campus, fol lowing this, lengthy oration. He ■turned -and -chirped over his shoulder. “How ahbirtr some golf pretty soon. I’ll have my afternoons free - - now that-wrestling is over.” We-acquiesced but knew darn - -well that wrestling is never over . -for- Charlie Speidel.

Bordo’s victory was the more surprising as the State star was injured when he fell from the high bar earlier in the afternoon. In addition to annexing the individual crown, he also took third place in the all-around championship. Temple’s Sam Fogel clinched the all-around title, dethroning a teammate, Ed Danser, who placed second. Way off his regular form, Pieo finished fourth on the flying rings and was tied for third on the high bar.
