Although Penn State has had a total of 62 individual wrestlers win individual Eastern Intercollegiate championships, only one Nittany matman has ever won a National Collegiate title. Such are the odds that face State's three latest EIWA champ ions, Bob Homan, Dick and Joe Lemyre when they wrestle Friday and Saturday in the NCAA championship meet at Fort Col lins, Colorado. West Dominates NC,A.A If any one of this trio of Me pham High School, • Long Island, matmen should take a title away from the nation's best matmen, it will be the first time a Penn State has won since "Red" John ston, State College 167 pounder, initially turned the trick in 1935. Penn State alone has not been suffering this dearth of national champions. The entire group of Eastern schools has been shoved into the background by the 'dom inance of the South West and Mid west colleges in National Col legiatee Athletic Association championships. • Last year's. championships held in Bethlehem, Pa., saw only two of the eight champions come from the East Waynesburg's Tony Gizoni and Princeton's Brad Glass. Oklahomas Favored Along monopolistic lines, the state of Oklahoma and Oklahoma A&M in particular have corner ed the market on NCAA champ ionships. The Aggies have won 15 of the 21 national titles decided and tied for another. Oklahoma University, winner last year, has scored twice to let only 3 1 k team crowns get out 'of the Sooner state. No wonder then, that Oklaho ma and Oklahoma A&M will be a good bet to continue their su premacy when approximately 35 college mat teams clash over the weekend.
