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

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.

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:
