Cedar Falls, lowa, is the next
stop for at least three members
of Penn State's wrestling team—
third-best in the East. Cedar Falls
is the site of the NCAA tourna
ment, which will be held March
24 and . 25. Coach Charlie Speidel
still not sure how 'many men
he will take to enter the national
competition.
Placing among the three top
teams for the first time since 1943,
the Lion matmen put on a spirited
show in. the Eastern Intercollegi
ate Wrestling Association tour
ney at Princeton, N. J., Friday
and Saturday. The Nittanies tal
lied 28 points, while the. team fa
vorite, Syracuse, piled up 32, and
Lehigh scored 29. It was one of
the closest team races in the his
tory of the 46-year old associa
tion.
For the second straight year,
Heavyweight Homer Barr clinch
ed the title for Syracuse. The Nit
tany heavy, one of the three 1949
champions to successfully defend
their . titles, took an 8-4 decision
from Lehigh's Gus LaSasso in the
final 'bout of the two-day run
off. Last year, Barr beat LaSasso,
10-2, in the finals and gave Syra
cuse a one-point team triumph
over Lehigh.
Captain Jim Maurey. 145-
pounder, also came through with
a championship. He evened things
up with Lehigh's John Mahoney,
the only grappler to beat Captain
Jim in dual meets this season, by
winning the grand finale.

to dethrone Syracuse's George
Gebhardt from. his 175-pound
leadership, but it was the most
unpopular decision of the two
day meet. Gebhardt won, 3-2, but
his three points were awarded by

Professors
Oppose Arming
Re-arming western• Germany to
a wartime potential was opposed,
in varying degrees, by three pro
fessors of the College, at a panel
discussion Friday night.
A west • European army using
German manpower was proposed
by Dr. Neal Riemer, political
science instructor. The Germans
would form five infantry divisions
under this plan, he said, but they
would not be given separate con
trol and no air power or atomic
bombs.
"It is possible to conceive a plan
of re-arming the Germans which
would keep them unable to fight ,
themselves," Dr. Richard C. Ray
mond, physics professor, told the
group. Dr. Raymond also advocat
ed making - the German army part
of western European defenses by
integrating their equipment.
Dr. Walter Coutu, sociology pro
fessor, warned that re-arming
Germany would be an excuse for
Russia to start a shooting' war.
With the German general staff in
control, he said, 'there would also
be no chance'for the democracy
we started to create.
Commenting on his recent trip
to Germany, Dr. R. Wallace Brew
ster, discussion moderator, said
he thought the Germans did not
feel responsible for the war and
didn't have sufficient responsibil
ity to foster democracy.
"You cannot arm people if you
can't trust them," the political
science professor concluded.
The panel was sponsored by the
International Relations Club and
the Liberal Arts Student Council.

again . . . the broad-shouldered,
215-pound Nittany heavy once
again exploded the dynamite
stored in his mitts against the
reigning National champ, Syra
cuse's Marty Crandell to garner
his third Eastern boxing crown.
The Draz also was awarded the
tournament's outstanding boxer
award for "his excellent ringman
ship and sportsman-like conduqt."
In. copping his third consecu
tive title, the Draz became the
tenth boxer in 27 years of tourna
ment- competiton to win three

BEATS CORLETO
Drazenovich had • entered the
finals of the tournament decision
ing his old nemesis, Western
Maryland's Joe Corleto. Then in
the tourney's finale, he was pitted
against Crandell.
After two fairly even rounds
thg Orange heavy uncorked a
strong right to the Draz's jaw
which seemed to daze Chuck mo
mentarily. Then with only ha,lf
a-minute remaining in the final
round,, Chuck unleashed a-most
devastating flurry of blows which
sent Crandell to the canvas for
a nine count.
Keeping right after his prey,
the Draz had the Orange, heavy
