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.
