PAGE SIX Navy to Be First Real Wrestling Test V state iaces Navy in an important wrestling dual meet this weekend at Anna polis and it s not a question whether Navy is dangerous—Navy is always dangerous. Like in football, the academy’s wrestling fortunes have been greatly respected.' This year is no different. During the season, the Lions have been competing against teams which have been tabbed as “tough.” Navy? It doesn’t fall into this category. Instead, the fhrm State Stars Star.. >• V . > «<• s > Pension Plan Settlement Is Made NEW YORK, Feb. 16 <JP)—A joint committee of major league owners and players agreed today to recommend changes in the ad ministration of the players’ pen sion fund and to provide it with a fixed percentage of the income from the World Series and All- Star games. In a five-hour session the group agreed the fund should be run by a committee equally balanced be tween owners and players—two from each. And it agreed that 60 per cent of the gross receipts from the All- Star game, including All- Star game radio and television con tracts, and 60 per cent of the ra dio and television fees for the World Series, should be paid di rectly into the pension fund. • At the present time the pension fund is operated by a five-man committee of owners, players and Commissioner Ford Frick. Any fi nal decisions must go before base ball’s executive council, consist ing entirely of owners. The new plan separates the op eration of the pension fund com pletely from the commissioner and the executive council.

X#*A ■ Army Is Next Lion Gym Foe Penn State’s undefeated Eastern and NCAA titleholding gym nastic squad will visit the U.S. Military Academy Saturday in quest of their 13th straight intercollegiate gym victory. The Lions have downed Michigan State, Syracuse and Navy. The latter opponent was expected to offer the Staters their roughest opposition of the season, but the Blue and White-clad Nittanies emerged victorious—gaining their widest winning margin of the season. The Cadets of Coach Tom Ma loney are thus far undefeated, owning a 5-0 record. Victims of the Cadets have been Duke, Geor gia Tech, Pittsburgh, Temple, and North Carolina Last year the Lions handily de feated the Cadets, 56% -39%. The series record between the two teams, which began in 1932, shows the Lions on the weak side, with five wins compared to Army’s 13. The Miltary Academy is the Lions’ oldest opponent in gymnastic com petition. Should the Nittanies gain a win over the Cadets, their chance of completing their second consecu tive season undefeated would be as assuring as the fact that Feb ruary never has 30 days. The Lion opponents are expect ed to be strong in four events— tumbling, parallel bars, flying rings, and the rope climb. How ever, they have only individual stars in these events, thus the Lions should have little trouble in piling up valuable second, third, and fourth place points. The Lions are strong in the two remaining events—the side horse and the horizontal bar. Two Blue and White perform ers are thus far unbeaten in their respective events. Ace gymnast Jan Cronstedt owns a perfect rec ord over past opponents on the H bar, while Sheets Haag has failed to fall lower than first place on the rope. The Cadets boast three unde feated members on their squad. They are Captain Jack Charles in tumbling. Jay Edwards on the parallel bars and Bob Carpenter bn the rings. 1 THE DAILY COLLEGIAN Santee says he’ll not dispute the ruling. He says he’ll make his own b~rrd track record and erase the two records the hard way. . STATE, COLLEGE PENNSYLVANIA Midshipmen can rightfully be ' called the first “real test” for Coach Charley Speidel’s defending National and Eastern champions. The second real test’ will follow against the Panthers of Pitt. Fir si Met in 1910 The first meeting between the two schools began in 1910 and since then, they have tackled 39 times on the mat. Penn State came out victorious only 20 times and held the Midshipmen to one tie. The 18 wins registered by Na vy is the largest number ever made against the Lions. Lehigh is the only other team that has de feated the Lions in the double fi gures. The Engineers won ten times. Against the traditionally fine Navy wrestlers. Penn State will be seeking its sixth straight dual meet win of the season, whereas the Midshipmen will be in search of their sixth triumph against one loss. Navy Loses One The only loss dotting Navy’s record was at the expense of Pitts burgh, which now is regarded second only to Penn State in the East. And the solid personnel of the' Panthers squeaked by the Midshipmen, 15-13. Navy has scored impressive wins over such teams as North Carolina, 36-0; Cornell, 19-9; Maryland, 22-6; Penn, 22-6; and Columbia, 27-3. Of the five Penn State has faced only Cornell and Maryland. The Lions defeated the Big Red, 20-6; and made the iden tical score, 22-6, over the Terps of Maryland. Coach Speidel said that Navy will “tax our staying powers.” Disputes Arise Over Santee's -Mile Clocking DETROIT, Feb. 16 (A*) —Almost everyone has different ideas of just w h a,t records the Kansas whirlwind, Wes Santee, should have behind his name after Mon day’s performance in a triangular meet at Michigan State. The “almost” comes in the form of Daniel Ferris, secretary-treas urer of the National Amateur Athletic Union. He’s the man who records the records. That Santee’s 4:04.9 mile on the spongy clay track of Jenison Fieldhouse was the fastest run in doors on dirt anywhere, was not in question. Some say Santee’s record should replace those set by Glenn Cun ningham, another Kansan who reeled off a 4:04.4 handicapped mile on what is termed nowdays as an unorthodox 6%-lap board track at Dartmouth in 1938; and Gil Dodds, who did his mile in 4:05.3 on a 11-lap board track in Madison Square Garden in 1948. Ferris says no. He says Santee’s record was run under different' conditions and all three records are relevant. “We couldn’t have one standard with two kinds of tracks,” said Ferris. “We have to list them sep arately because some places don’t have board tracks and others don’t have dirt tracks.” "Say It Isn't So" Sam’s Song By SAM PROCORIO Collegian Sports Editor Now that the round-robin football schedule recently announced by the Ivy Group for 1956 represents the culmina tion of a process that has been evolving for more than 50 years, how does this affect intercollegiate competition in other sports, especially wrestling? Will all the Ivy teams withdraw from the Eastern Intercollegiate Wrestling Association and formulate a round-robin wrestling schedule, thereby severing relations Wll .,° ne ° f the bi ggest and most highly'-regarded leagues? We Can>t ° fficially say that “ rumor talk which the f . use ’ + we ca " sa y that it is powerful talk. It does stir up emotions, interests, and disagreements. There is a good chance that the Ivy League members will ac cording to reports supposedly made by Ivy League sources. Coach Jim Reed of Princeton, although did not definitely commit himself, did intimate that an Ivy League for wrestling is by no means remote, J t was written by one sports editor who has been affiliated with the the EIWA’s for many years. In ihe event that such a withdrawal should be made, the Ivy League teams will be regretting a move which should never be made. The teams would be Columbia, Pennsylvania, Harvard, Cornell, Brown, Princeton, and Yale. It's true that these teams have failed to dominate or to impress the wrestling world with power, but they do add prestige to the EIWA and these teams did show some outstanding individuals. The only teams which Penn State has scheduled more than not have been Pennsylvania and Cornell. The Big Red, undoubtedly, is the best of the lot, and because of this, there seems to be a simi larity between the football and wrestling Ivy Leagues should they both become effective. That is, like Penn in football, Cornell will ihore than likely always dominate the Ivy League. And too, if they did form the Ivy wrestling league, Cornell would be forced to de emphasis (like Penn) the sport because the Big Red would be too powerful for the rest. Even though there will be a big dent in the EIWA—a change from 16 to 9 teams—the remaining nine is as powerful, if not more, than any league in the country at the moment. The nine are Penn State, Pitt. Army, Navy. Franklin & Marshall, Rutgers, Temple, Syracuse, and Lehigh. Still, we think that wrestling, as a sport, has grown. It has gone into the huddle, set up its offense and has continued with success toward the goal line. However, with Ivy College Wrestling League, there’s no telling how long it will take before the sport crosses the goal of success—winning the fans it deserves IN THE MAIL Allhough the football season has been over for more than a month, we believe that college grid affairs are news worthy any time of the year. Yesterday in the mail we received the final tabu lations of the College Sports Editors All-American football team— a team that is worth the title. There is one distinct advantage that this team, which was selected by college sports editors throughout the nation, has that others do not—the perspective in reviewing a complete season, bowl game's and all. There was only one surprising result that we found. And that was Stanford's sensational quarterback. Bob Garrett, who received only 167 votes—the second lowest total received by any gridder. The college sports editors selected Johnny Lattner of Noire Dame as the player of the year. He won 131 votes as compared to Minne sota's Paul Giel with 115. The following is the College Sports Editors All-American team with votes in parenthesis: LE—DON DOHONEY .. . LT—STAN JONES LG—J. D. ROBERTS .... C—LARRY MORRIS . . .

A loss for Alpha Tau Omega and a victory for Beta Theta Pi Monday night at Recreation Hall brought about the photo finish. In one of the most action-pack ed, highly spirited games of the intramural season, Sigma Phi Sigma knocked Alpha Tau Omega from the unbeaten ranks with a last minute 30-28 decision. After trailing 15-12 at the half, the ATO’s fought back to finally gain a tie at 27-27. With less than a minute re maining, however, Sigma Phi Sig- WEDNESDAY. FEBRUARY 17, 1954 Michigan St. (253) ...

The desperate ATO’s committed two fouls in the final 11 seconds, but to no avail, as the winners capitalized on one of them to bring the final count to 30-28. Sigma Phi Sigma, by winning, en tered the three way tie for first place. Beta Theta Pi’s victory was by a 24-17 count over Phi Sigma Kappa. Phi Epsilon Pi was knocked out of a first place tie in League E with Alpha Phi Alpha, when they bowed to Sigma Alpha Epsilon, 19-8. Robert Greenawalt led the (Continued on page seven)
