couldn't keep his Oklahoma.foe flush with the mat. He did, however,
earn a near fall.
In the second period Maurey had the disadvantage, wrestling
from the referee's position. Nevertheless, Scott was easily reversed
Scott tallied on two escapes—one
for free. To insure himself of the
victory, Maurey took Scott down
before the end of the final period.
Don Frey also followed with a
third place position as he won a
referee's decision fr o m Chuck
Uram of Pitt. Frey hit the scoring
column first with an escape and
Maintained his lead until the next
period when Uram escaped. Frey's
aggressiveness, however, was tell
ing in the decision. "
Lemyre Scores Reverse •
Although Joe Lemyre was one
of the two defending champions
who were dethroned, he did show
that he should not be underrated.
The 167-pound Nittany Lion deci
sioned Dana. Eastham of Brown,
6-2, to grab third place in that
weight class. Eastham pinned two
of his three men in less than three
hours to win a position in the con
solation bouts
Lemyre caught Eastham in his
own trap by scoring a reverse and
near fall while Eastham had a
figure four hold around Lemyre's
body. Eastham had received two
points earlier on a reverse. Spei
del's barrel-chested standout add
ed to his 4-2 lead with a reverse.
This gave Penn State a ten-to
seven lead over the Sooners.
Big Seven Champ Loses
Hugh Peery, Pitt's Olympian,
defended his NCAA honors, with
an impressive, 5-1, decision over
Bob Christensen of Northwestern.
The dancing Northwesterner
found himself two points behind
when the Pitt 115-pounder took
him down. Christensen rode Peery
with a figure four hold ink the
second period but Peery escaped
in the final seconds. After that
ii; was all Peery.
Oklahoma's bid for its first 1953
NCAA champion was blackened
when Dick Mueller, Minnesota,
pinned Hal Reece, with a body
press. Mueller gave, the Sooners
something to - think about as he
took Reece down nicely. After the
Minnesota matman moved too far
in front of Big Seven 123-pound
champ, Reece was able to get
loose for an escape. In the second
period Reece received two points
for an illegal body slam. Wrestling
from the referee's position, Reece
escaped.
Bettucci Champ
Aside from - Frank Bettucci of
Cornell who received the out
standing wrestler award, Olym
pian Len DeAugustino of Lock
Haven - was certainly the most im
pressive matman in the tourna
ment. He handled the talented
field of 137-pounders well and had
little trouble in defeating Norton
Compton of Illinois, 3-1, to win the
championship. Compton's point
was an escape while DeAugustino
'scored a take down and an es
cape. The latter point was made
on a one minute possum play and
then a quick turn.
Bettucci, one of Cornelrs two
champions, took the 157-pound
title 1)37 decisioning /Bob Hoke,
Michigan State, 6-3. Bettucci ac
tually won when he took the
Spartan grappler down at the
buzzer.
Army's Al Paulekas whose at
tempt to give the East a dominat

when Ned Blass, Oklahoma A&M,

failed to become a two-time win
, ner when - he lost a referee's deci-
Isioxi to Dan McNair, Auburn. '
The 5000 fans who' witnessed
the semi-finals yesterday after
noon observed what was certain
ly the match of the tournament—
Dick Lemyre, Penn State's EIWA
champ, won a referee's decision
from Oklahonia's fine 130-pound
er, Hal Reece. It was the first time
that the Lions had the opportun
ity to eliminate an Oklahoma
matman. •
When Reece took down State's
"Dandy Dick," midway in th e
initial period, it • appeared that
one more Penn State matman was
on his way out of the finals. Le
myre, however, came to life dur
ing the second period when he, re
versed Reece who only a few sec
onds earlier had gained a reversal
himself.
With the tension increasing on
each move, Reece once again re
versed Lemyre, but not for long
as State's slippery and agile 130-
pounder reversed Reece. Then Le
myre capably rode the Sooners'
Big Seven champion , for two min
-Ites time advantage.
