hreemMan Wrestling Team
ayes for NCAA Tourney
By JAKE HIGHTON
Nittany wrestlers Bob Homan, Joe and Dicinemyre departed
last night with Coach Charlie Speidel for tomorrow's opening of the
NCAA championships shouldering the almost impossible burden of
following up an EIWA championship won by eight Penn State
matmen.
Homan and the Lemyre brothers, winners of Eastern champion.
ships two weeks ago, will meet
many of the nation's best wrest
lers during the two-day tourney
at Fort Collins, Colorado.
Sophomore Dick Lemyre, the
only Lion to go through the ,en
tire season unbeaten, climaxed
his first varsity season with four
wins in the Eastern tournament
to run his - total to 13 straight
collegiate victories without a loss.
Romanowski Gone
On the basis of so outstanding
a record and the competition he
is expected to meet, young Rich
ard figures to have the best
chance of winning a national title
for the Lions in the 130 pound
class.
Last year's national champ and
outstanding wrestler of the tour
nament, Walt Romanowski, Cor
nell College, lowa, has graduated
but Dick will have trouble with
Oklahoma A&M's NCAA runner
up, Hal Moore, and Michigan's
Big Ten champion at 130, Snip
Nalon.
Defeated Seeded Men
Frosh Homan, 8-1 during the
dual season and EIWA 123 champ
ion, is entered in a division which
includes'runnerup last year, Billy
Borders, Oklahoma. Borders lost
.a 7-6 decision in last year's finals
to Waynesburg's Tony Gizoni,
probably the nation's best 123
pounder. Gizoni, twice NCAA
champion, has used up all his
eligibility.
Third Nittany entrant, Joe Lem
yre, hardly as fast as brother
Dick or as •effective a rider as
Homan, has the something-extra
in tournament wrestling and could
surprise as he did by winning the
EIWA title. With a 6-2-1 season
record, Joe knocked off the two
top-seeded men while winning
four close bouts with great come
from-behind wrestling to take the
championship.
Michigan State's NCAA champ
ion Gene Gibbons has graduated
but Nittany Joe will have to -get
by another Michigan Stater, Orris
Bender who took the Big Ten 167
pound title last week.

THE DAILY COLLEGIAN.. STATE tit" PENNSYLVANIA
Penn Questions
Legality of TV
Control Plan
PHILADELPHIA, March 26
(IP)—Still fighting the. battle for
football television, the University
of Pennsylvania must be shown
that the NCAA control plan for
1952 is legal. Otherwise Penn will
refuse' to participate in it.
Franny Murray, Penn's earnest
athletic director, made that state
ment, today. He wouldn't elabor
ate, merely re f erring to his
lengthy statement at the NCAA
convention in January. He main
tained then that any agreement
imposing restrictions on the in
dividual colleges was illegal. The
firm set of Murray's jaw as he
discussed the matter today indi
cated that his opiniong won't be
changed easily.
The 1952 NCAA program hasn't
been fully devised. Preliminary
plans indicate that more games
will be televised and more small
colleges will participate. But it is
up to the NCAA television com
mittee, the sponsors and others
to agree on the final form. Then
it will be submitted to the NCAA
membership for acceptance or re
jection.
Murray will have his legal ad-1
visers look it over carefully and
give an opinion on its legality.
"If they . say it isn't, we won't
participate," he snapped.

Phils Look
To Simmons
For Help
CLEARWATER, Fla., March •26
(FP) Curt Simmons is saying
goodbye to army life in a couple
of weeks—and, brother, how that
piece of news is boosting the Phil
adelphia Phillies' metabolism!
Headquarters of the 28th U.S.
Infantry Division in Germany an
nounced today the stylish south
paw pitching star is scheduled to
leave for a port of embarkation
the first week in April, and then
take a ship back to this country.
That is taken to mean the 22-
year-old hurler from Egypt, Pa.,
now a sergeant in charge of ath
letics, wilt be available to the
Phillies soon after the opening.rcof
the major league baseball season
April 15.
Hasn't Lost Touch
So much, from the Philli e s
slant, hinges upon the return of
Simmons, and in something like
the form which helped to hoist
the one-time Whiz Kids to a pen
nant victory in 1950.
From all reports, Simmons has
not lost his fine touch. Although
he naturally has devoted himself
chiefly to the more serious busi
ness of soldiering, he has man
aged to keep in top trim as a
pitcher against the day of his de
mobilization.
Therefore, Manager Eddie Saw
yer and all the Phils are confident
Curt will go a long way toward
putting the whiz back in the team
which two seasons ago delighted
baseball fans with its youth and
zing.
Won 17 in 1950
The Phillies 'have been asked
again and again, at this training
base, how they're going to do this
year. The usual answer is: "We'll
do all right when we get that
lefthander back."
That esteemed lefthander Sim
mons, who received a $65,000
bonus for signing with the Phils,
won 17 games , and lost eight in
1950. He was inducted into the
army Sept. 5, of that year, when
his outfit of th e Pennsylvania
National Guard was ordered into
federal service. He was the first
major leaguer to be inducted into
the armed forces since the out
break of the Korean warfare.
Deprived of the services of the
fast-balling stalwart, th e Phils
ran low on steam and barely
nosed out the Brooklyn Dodgers,
on the last day of the regular
season, for' the pennant. In 1951
the former champions wound up
tired, depressed and bedraggled
fifth-placers. , ,
White Sox Score 5 Runs
in- 9th to Beat Indians
TUCSON, Ariz., March 28—(W)
—The Chicago White • Sox ex
ploded with five runs in the ninth
inning today to whip Cleveland's
Indians, 8-5.
In that inning the Sox got the
first two men on base via walks
froirly•Lott Brissie., Then Gerald
Fahr replaced Brissie and the
Chicagoans collected three hits,
the third a home run by rookie
George Wilson.
Wants to Be M.D.
Jay "Tiny" McMahan, Penn
State's, basketball co-captain, is
headed for a career in medicine.
DU, Sigma
In IM Mat
Delta Upsilon replaced Phi Kappa Psi as the favorite in the
intramural wrestling tourney and Sigma Nu moved up into the
contending position-last night as the Phi Psi's team was whittled
to four men.' Two Phi Psi's were eliminated last night.
In two upsets last night, Phi Psi lost Doc Rostmeyer, 145, and
Bud Wolfram, 121. Rostmeyer had Bob Breuninger, Delta Chi, down,
6-4, when at 2:50 • Bibuninger
nailed him to the canvas. Wol
fram was in a tough bout with
Mickey Webb, Chi. Phi, and at
5:02 Wolfram's doom came.
Even though it lost two men,
Phi Psi had some consolation in
that its defending 155 pound king,
Al Pancerev, advanced to the
quarter finals of the-'165 pound
clasS with a 4:40 fall over Tom
Lewis, SAE.
Carter also won last night when
he beat Pete Fahs, AZ, 7-2.
Meanwhile, DU advanced two
men and Sigma Nu one to the
quarter finals. '
Last year's 135 pound champ-
I ion Bob Hamilton, DU, rolled over
Jerry Garman, Sigma Pi, 7-2. The
other DU to advance was Tom
Smith, 135. Smith won an easy
5-0 victory over Bill Hoffer, Chi
Phi.
The lone Sigma,Nu to move up
was heavyweight Terhune Dickel,
who felled Dick Stanley, Lambda
Chi Alpha, in 4:45.
In the other heavyweight match
last night, Bob Smith, Beta, scored
the quickest fall of the evening
when he pinned George Walz,
Theta Chi, in 1:10. -
Besides Smith's win, tne other
135 pbund match saw Ron Miller,
Phi Delta Theta, pin Bill Alich,
Alpha Chi Rho.
