C#l/0_ Sports Edtior Did You Know That Oklahoma A&M, winner of 17 NCAA .wrestling titles, has won at least one , individual championship in every National Collegiate Wrestling meet ever held :. . . that the Aggies lead in the number of individual championship,s' with 61. The nearest competitor, lowa State Teachers, has 18. Penn State has 3 . .. that Colorado State of Greeley, Colo., not only won its 18th straight Rocky Mountain conference ,champion ship, but Coach John Hancock's crew swept all eight weight titles in this year's tourney . . . • That of the 61 individual champions the Aggies had in the NCAA tournament only one ever won the 123-pound division. lie was. Joe McDaniel who captured the bantamweight title in 1339 ... that Coach Charlie Speidel called the Lions' Dick Lemyre the "greatest technician Penn State ever had . . ." That Nebraska probably will, on occasion, field a football team next fall that has: Chuck Smith at quarterback, Bob Smith at full back, Howard Smith at one end, and Don Schmid at the other end . that Penn State football team had an unbeaten string of 30 games from 1919 to 1922 and unbeaten win streaks at home of 50 and 29 games. The former was made from 1889 to 1908 and the latter from 1919 to 1924 . . . That Penn State's basketball team once put the freeze on Doc Carlson's Pitt Panthers. Carlson, who employed this tactic almost as an annual event, had it pulled on him .in Pittsburgh. Penn State led 9-6 at halftime. With five minutes left, State, which still led by 15-12, put on the freeze. Carlson quickly retorted: "Why don't they play basketball?" IN THE MAIL (Yesterday, we received a letter from Lowell "Red" Keller, a former Penn Stater• and Daily Collegian, sportswriter. Enclosed are the following sidelights in the NCAA wrestling tourney at Norman, Okla.:) "From the Fieldhouse . . . "During the finals, Charlie Speidel, Lion coach, sat on the very edge of the mat rooting , for the underdog! "I spoke to Dick Lemyre about Oklahoma University's 'pride and joy,' Tommy Evans. All he could do was shake his head and mutter: •'What a wrestler!' "Ed Rooney, of SyracuSe, was' a distinct disappointment in the finals. The East's most outstanding wrestler obtained his points only with escapes. Rooney lost to Bob Hoke of Michigan 'State, 11-6. "If Ed Eichelberger's match with the •Aggies' Myron Roder . ick, 137-pound NCAA champ, had lasted ten seconds more, Roder ick would have been . pinned. , A bar arm had the weary Aggie matman slowly turning over. Eichelberger was Lehigh's second runner-up in the tourney. "Easily the most exciting bout' was the Evans-Tompson clash. It was the first time this year that a wrestler was aggressive with Evans. "Even the election of American Wrestling Coaches and Officials Association had an A&M tinge. Cliff Keen of Cheyenne, Okla. and Oklahoma A&M was named president, succeeding Ray Sparks of Springfield College. "When Ken Spicher of Kansas State decisioned North Caro lina's Pete McGee in a first-round welterweight match, it was Spicher's first win of the season. He entered the tourney with a 0-5-1 record: "Arnie Brandt, Wartburg College (Waverly, Iowa), was hailed as the tournament's Bevo Francis. He had pinned all six of his opponents and drawn forfeits from several others before he en tered the meet. Ho Weyer, he loft ; semi-final match to Larry Tempas of Illinois, 9-2."
