3 Lion Wrestlers Seek
To Snap NCAA Famine.
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.

Okla. A & M
Enters 15 Men
FORT COLLINS, Colo..
March 25M—Oklahoma A&M,
last year's runner-up, has 'en
tered a 15 man team in the
hopes of upsetting defending
champion Oklahoma 'University
in the National Collegiate Ath
letic Association wrestling
championships opening here
Friday.
The. Oklahoma Aggies team,
largest among the more than
35 entered, is headed by George
Layman, defending titleholder
in the 137 pound class. The only
other returning champion will
be heavyweight Bradley Glass
of Princeton. •
Oklahoma's titleholders will
have an eight man team includ
ing two runners-up last year.
They are Bill B o r de rs, 123
pounds, and Tom Evans, 137,
who is competing in the 147
pound division this time.
An entry list has not been
filed by Penn State, the N 0.3
teem last year, but officials
expect strong competition from
this school. Penn State won the
Eastern Intercollegiate Wrest
ling Association title this win
ter.
figured to make' one of the
strongest bids for the title ever
made by any Eastern team. How
ever, with only a three-man rep
resentation, -the best the Lions
can hope for is a repetition of
their third place behind• winning
Oklahoma" and runnerup Okla
homa A&M last year.
