Pi\ GP SIX Penn State's 5 NLAA Wrestling Tourney Entries Bill Oberly 191-Pounder Lion atmen to Defend Title Toleio Enters 4 Men; Entries Now Total 177 (Continued from page one) Toledo's late entry in the NCAA tourney expanded the total of contestants to 177—an all-time record. The official total of schools participating is 49. Toledo's entry also means that the tourney has now drawn eight champions from the nine major conferences of the na tion. Toledo copped the mid-American crown. Other team champions are Oklahoma (Big Seven), Colorado State (Rocky Mountain), Auburn (Southeastern), Purdue (Big Ten), Color ado Aggies (Skyline), Washington State (Pacific Coast) and PittS burgh (Eastern Intercollegiate). Individual wrestlers will weigh in from 8 to 9 this morning and 9 to 10 a.m. tomorrow. In National tournaments a team has usually won the title with 21 points—the total picked up by the defending Nittany Lions, One Point for Fall Each team will get a point toward its total whenever a man scores a fall. Other team points are scored only when a man ad vances to the semi-finals. Each team is awarded six "points for an individual champion; four points for second; two points for third place; and one point for fourth place. In placing for third and fourth honors, however, a wrestler can lose in the preliminaries and still qualify. The ruling for this is: if a matman loses to a finalist, he will wrestle in the consolation eliminations tomorrow afternoon. Bettucci Wins Trophy One of the most coveted trophies of this annual tourney is the one which goes each year to the out standing wrestler. Frank Bettucci of Cornell. won the award last year. Tommy Evans, who received the award in 1952, did not wrestle last vear because of a knee injury. However, he will participate in this tournament. In addition to the plaques for each of the ten individual champs, and medals for those who finish second, third. and fourth in each weight, there are two team tro phies—one for the champion and one for the runner-up. :aseball injuries Mount NEW YORK, March 25 (/P)— Baseball's 'broken bone derby" —the 1954 spring training session —marked up two more casualties today, sidelining Cleveland out fielder Suitcase Simpson and De troit catcher Matt Batts.
