National Collegiate Championships By BILL YOUNG Sports lnformafion Director, University of Wyoming Iowa State's Cyclones lurked in the wings until the finale, and then upstaged Oklahoma State's defending National Collegiate wrestling champions, 87-86, in the 35th National Collegiate Championships held at the University of Wyoming. Lehigh was a distant third with 45 points, followed by Oklahoma with 44, Michigan, 39, and Arizona State, 30. Trailing the Cowboys by 22 points, 66-44, going into the final day of com- petition, Iowa State piled up 43 points, mostly in the consolation bracket, to win the title in one of the most thrilling finishes in the history of the event. The Cyclones' 87 points tied the record set by 0-State in 1964 and the Cowboys' 86 was a new high for a runner-up. The Iowa State triumph also marked the first time the wrestling crown left the state of Oklahoma in a dozen years. Not since Penn State upset the Sooners in 1953 had the title gone to anyone but an Oklahoma school. 0-State had won 24 of the previous 34 cham- pionships and was shooting for its second straight and fourth in the last five years. Coach Myron Roderick sent five of his Cowpokes into the championship finals. Iowa State's Harold Nichols could claim only two finalists. But both Iowans, Very1 Long at 147 and Tom Peckham at 177, won. These two titles along with five third place finishes and one fourth was enough to fashion the upset. Long's come-from-behind win over Gettysburg's Joe Bavaro seemed to be the turning point for Iowa State. Trailing by two points with 12 seconds to go in the bout, Long slipped a reversal to send the contest into overtime. The extra period ended in a scoreless deadlock and the referee's decision, only the second in the tournament, went to Long, who had finished fourth in the 1964 meet, and Iowa State led Oklahoma State for the first time, 84-82. The only match where the Big Eight cousins met head-on was at the climactic 177-pound division where Peckham and Cowboy Bill Harlow re-played their con- ference scene. Peckham exploded Poke hopes by whipping Harlow, 5-3, reversing the outcome of their league title bout to run the score to 87-82. Cowboy Jack Brisco sent Oklahoma State hopes soarlng as he pinned Dan Pernat of Wisconsin in 6:32 of the 191-pound match, picking up four points and sending the count to its final 87-86 reading. Big Jim Nance of Syracuse clinched it for Iowa State as he won his second National Collegiate heavyweight title, decisioning Oklahoma State's Russ Winer in the final match of the tournament. Other winners were Tadaaki Hatta, Oklahoma State, 115; Mike Caruso, Lehigh, 123; Yojiro Uetake, Oklahoma State, 130; Bill Stuart, Lehigh, 137; Bob Kopnisky, Maryland, 157; and Greg Ruth, Oklahoma, 167. Uetake, the only defending champion to repeat, was named the outstanding wrestler in the tournament. Arizona State's 177-pounder Charles Tribble, placing third, earned the Gorriaran Award for the most falls in the least time wlth three pins in 4:28. The tournament, second to be hosted by.Wyoming since 1958, attracted 227 wrestlers from 64 schools in 24 states. The championship finals drew a crowd of 5,247 and total attendance for the three days was 14,486. For the third straight year ABC-TV taped the championship finals for its Wide World of Sports Program. Dick Voliva of Rutgers was elected president of the NCAA Wrestling Coaches and Officials Association, succeeding Sam Barnes of North Carolina. Marv Hess of Utah was named president-elect; Ted Bredehoft of Arizona State was re- elected secretary-treasurer and Doug Parker of Springfield was re-elected membership secretary. 11 INDIVIDUAL CHAMPIONS AND PLACE WINNERS Class Champion Runner-up Third Fourth Fifth Sixth 115-ZB.. .Hatta McMinn Gillum Warnke Winfelder Garcia (Okla.
