PIAA Mat Finals at Rec Hall Today
By BILL BARBER
Penn State wrestling fans will
have a chance to see the top high
school wrestlers of the state this
afternoon and evening when the
PIAA state wrestling finals get
under way at Rec Hall.
The semi-finals will start at
2 p.m. with the finals beginning
at 7:30 p.m. The admission price
is 50 cents for students.
Three of the State College
High School grapplers will be
wrestling in the tournament to
day. Tom Balent will be going
for the 103-pound title while
Dick Tressler and Gene Tress
ler will be wrestling in the 127
and 133 pound weight classes,

Boxing Coach

coach Eddie Sulkowski, now a
Nittany athletic trainer, will offi
ciate at the 1959 Army Boxing
Eliminations and the Interservice

Benning, Ga., over the Easter
holidays.
Sulkowski, who tutored the
Lion pugilists for 5 years until
the sport was dropp . from the
University's varsity athletic pro
gram in 1955, will se as a judge
and referee for the t.urnaments.

"If would be hard to go info
the ramifications of all the un
der the table deals between col
leges and pros," McCoy said.
"But they have been making
too may inroads. And the way
they rundown our games in
their broadcasts is really bad. t
"The NCAA is in a constants
fight with the pros," McCoy con-1
tinued, "and they've made many
rules (to fight them), such as,l
you can't be a coach on an all-I
star team that plays a pro team,
or you can't be a scout on their,
payroll and still hold a collegei
coaching job."
McCoy said that many col
leges are having real trouble
with the pros, particularly the
colleges which are located near
professional football franchises.
He mentioned specifically Pitt,
Penn, Michigan and the west
coast schools around Los An
geles and San Francisco.
McCoy admitted that Penn
State does not have a big prob
lem with the pros and said he
did not want to have one. "That's
why I turned down the alumni
game featuring pro players," he
said "We do not have to bring
in the pros to make our program
go. That's not within the precepts
101 education and besides, it leads
'to overemphasis."
