Speidel Reserves Opinion Erber Goes
On NCAA Mat Outcome 2nd Straight
IM Mat Win
By JIM KARL
Charlie Speidel isn't a man of brash statements.
Penn State's three eastern champions soon will be facing
the top mat competition in the nation, and Speidel is reserving
his opinions on the outcome until he has a chance to
look ovir the opposition.
Dan Johnston, Ron Pifer,
Johnston Oberly and Speidel
will leave State College Mon
day night for Pittsburgh, where
they will catch a plane to Cor
vallis, Ore., for the NCAA mat
championships which begin
Thursday.
"Nobody knows what will hap
pen," Speidel said when asked
how his grapplers should do in
the tourney. "There's only one
thing certain when you step
on the mat you won't be facing
a fish. No school is going to send
a wrestler that far to lose."
Speidel said that there are too
many possibilities for him to pre
dict how Johnston, Pifer and
Oberly will fare in the tourna-
ment.
"Once you step on the mat
you're your own field general,"
he said. You're the offense and
the defense there's no sub-
stitutes. in the 135-pound class. Riding

Hogan's office merely said Wag
man's action occurred 'Feb. 28 in
connection with the Connecticut-
Colgate game and Hacken's con
tact was made Feb. 9 in connec
tion with the Dayton-Seton Hall
game.
Colgate beat Connecticut 83-71.
Dayton beat Seton Hall at the
Garden 112-77.
Basketball followers recalled
that both games aroused sus
picions at the time.
Dayton originally was listed as
a six-point favorite but later the
game was knocked off the bet
ting boards. This was a sign the
bookmakers refused to take any
more bets.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (JP)
John Havlicek rescued Ohio
State in the closing seconds last
night to edge underdog Louis
ville 56-55 in the semifinals of
the Mideast Regional NCAA
Basketball Tournament.
Ohio State was in trouble
most of the way and with the
score tied at one minute to go
it looked like Havlicek might
be the goat.
Trying to fake his guard, Le
was called for steps, giving
Louisville possession. But 13
seconds later, Louisville's John
Turner threw a bad pass and
Havlicek recovered it and hit
the clinching basket with 16
seconds to go.

In the widespread basketball
scandals of 1951, which affected
33 players from seven schools

the gambling was based on the
point spread.
