Penn State's chances to
walk off with its second con
secutive NCAA wrestling ti
tle came to an abrupt halt last
night at Norman, Okla., as the
Oklahoma Aggies, :winner of
16 titles, waltzed in with six
semi-finalists. The Nittany Lions
entered only two, Jerry Maurey
and Joe Krufka.
The semi-finals will be held at
2 this afternoon and the finals P:t
8 tonight.
The Oklahoma Aggies, favored
to win their 17th title, dimmed the
lights on any possible chance for
any team. Every team which is in
the running for the title has only
two men in the semi-finals. Teams
which have two are Pitt, Lehigh,
Navy, Illinois, Oklahoma Univer
sity, Penn State, and Michigan.
Quarter-finals results:
/30-pound—Hockley (Wyoming)
decisioned Lemyre (PS), 2-1
137-pound Maurey (PS)- de
cisioned Ruzic (lowa State),
9-3
147-pound - Evans (Oklahoma
U.) decisioned Frey (PS), 9-3
1 77-pound—Krufka (PS) won
by default over White (Okla
homa U.)
191-pound—Blair (Navy) pin
ned Oberly (PS) in 3:38
One of the biggest surprises in
the quarter-finals came when
second-seeded Dick Lemyre, Penn
• State's only triple EIWA winner,
dropped a 2-1 decision to Wyo
ming's Hockley.
Maurey decisioned Ruzic of
lowa State, 6-2, and Krufka won
by default over White of Okla
homa University to enter the
semi-finals. - - - -
Pete Blair of Navy, 191-pounder,
who pinned ten of his foes during
the regular season and who pin
ned State's Bill Oberly at An
, napolis, had Oberly's shoulder
blades flush with the mat again.
This time in 3:38. Doug Frey,
State 147-pound hopeful, was
eliminated by 1952 NCAA champ,
Tommy Evans of Oklahoma Uni
versity. Evans defeated Frey, 9-3.
Although three of the Nittany
Lion wrestlers dropped to the
wayside last night, there is a. pos
sibility that they may be able to
win a third or fourth place posi
tion in the tourney. If a wrestler
loses to a finalist, he is qualified
to enter the consolqion matches
to be held this afternoon
