FOR A ,BETTER PENN STATE
Senate Rule off 'Mark'
Why Penn State has limited its entrants in National
Collegiate Athletic Association tournaments in gymnastics,
wrestling, and boxing to a total of six men was finally
answered 'yesterday.
Nittany entries in these national tournaments have been
limited to Eastern intercollegiate champions by the Senate
committee on athletics. For this reason, only three members
of Penn State's EIWA championship wrestling team and
two members of the boxing team will compete in the NCAA
tournaments. It was for this reason that only one gymnast
appeared in the NCAA tournament this past weekend.
By virtue of this rule, which completely reverses pre
vious College policy, such outstanding athletes as wrestler
Jerry Maurey, runner-up in the 137-pound class in the
East, and boxer Tony Flore, runner-up in the Eastern 139-
pound championships, will not compete in the nationals.
By virtue - of this rule, gymnast Bob Lawrence, runner-up
in the EarSt on the sidehorse, was not allowed to compete
in the nationals this past weekend.
Not only are thee athletes being denied something they
have earned by virtue of their performances all season long,
but a policy has been established for Penn State, which if
followed by other NCAA members would all but wreck the
NCAA tournaments, for with competition so restricted a win
ner would not be a true champion. Penn State has long been
a staunch supporter of the NCAA and we see no reason why
the College should pull out its support now.
And that is exactly what this rule does.
The short-sightedness of this policy can be illustrated by
citing the case of Don Frey, of the current wrestling team.
Beaten in the. Eastern finals last year, Frey went to the
nationals, turned the tables on the man who beat him in
the East and went on to take second place in the tournament.
Frey is injured and unable' to compete in this year's tourna
ment, but if he were physically able to compete, this rule
would bar him from doing so despite the fact that he is num.,.
ber two man in the nation in his weight.

Dr. Schuschnigg, in reply to
questions asked him regarding his
capitulation to Hitler at Berchtes

"Before the war I was called a
clerical communist by the Nazis
and an Austrian fascist by the
Communists. But I was never

FIVE CENTS
Competition in National Col
legiate Athletic Association tour
naments by Penn State's wrest
lers, boxers, and gymnasts has
been limited to athletes who
have won Eastern titles, the Daily
Collegian learned yesterday. The
policy will also apply to all other
sports where individual compe
tition is involved.
The action barring non-champ
ions from national competition
was made March 17 by the Sen
ate committee on athletics. No an
nouncement was made at that
time, but coaches were informed
of the decision.
The Daily Collegian learned of
the action by the committee from
Franklin L. Bentley, chairman.
Other members of the committee
Norman R. Sparks, and Prof. J.
Harris Olewine.
Lawrence Already Barred
The decision to limit national
competition to Eastern champ
ions will bar the entry into the
NCAA tournaments of wrestler
Jerry Maurey, runner-up in the
137-pound division, and box e r
Tony Flore, runner-up in the 139-
pound division in the East.
Already barred from compe
tition because of the ruling is
gymnast Bob Lawrence, unbeaten
in five dual meets, and runner-up
in the East on the sidehorse. The
national gymnastic championships
were held this past weekend.
Although this policy is not
permanent, Ben tle y - said, last
night, the committee will have to
change the policy in future years
bef ore non-Eastern champions
will be allowed to compete in the,
nationals.
Location Determines Policy
Up until this year, Penn State
had followed a policy of entering
those men who in the opinion of
the coaches and the graduate
manager of athletics were cap
able of meeting the stiff national
competition. Last year Penn State
entered a full team of eight men
in the wrestling championships,
held at Lehigh, and four men in
the boxing.championships, held at
Michigan State.
One of the merits to be weighed
in determining future policy on
this question, Bentley said, was
the location of the tournaments.
If they are held in the East, he
indicated, more men might be
entered. The gym tournament was
in Colorado. Wrestling is to be
held in Colorado, boxing in Wis
consin.
"We had to set some mark,"
Bentley said, referring to a criter
ion by which the committee is to
judge who is to compete in the
nationals. He indicated that in
the past the decision as to whom
would compete in the nationals
was made by the coach, the dean
of the School of Physical Educa
tion and Athletics, and the grad
uate manager, subject to the ap
