National Collegiate Championships By JESS HOKE Editor, Amateur Wrestling News The weather was so beautiful during the 39th National Collegiate Cham- pionships at Brigham Young University, Provo, Utah, March 27-29, that it was hard to believe that a cyclone was raging inside Smith Fieldhouse where the Iowa State Cyclones ripped apart their competition and shredded scoring records in running away with their third national title. The unheralded Iowans, who finished a poor third in the Big Eight Con- ference-two weeks earlier on their own mats, scored 104 points to far out- distance Oklahoma's 69, although the two teams each had four finalists and won three individual titles. The difference was in consolations, where Iowa State picked up four fifth-place finishes and one sixth. Oregon State nipped Michigan State for third, its highest finish in the national championships, and Cal Poly edged Oklahoma State, the defending champion, for fifth. Oregon State and Cal Poly each claimed one champion, with the Spartans and Cowboys being blanked in the winner's circle. The sixth-place finish of Oklahoma State tied its all-time low and its failure to crown a champion was only the fourth miss in the meet. Filling out the top 10 teams were Iowa, UCLA, Michigan and Temple. Temple edged into the elite group for the first time on the strength of its first National Collegiate champion. Just barely behind were Hofstra, Mary- land, Washington, Colorado State College, Indiana State and Oregon. The 384 participants, representin 110 schools, set records for the meet and overflowed BYU's excellent faciities for first-day competition. Previous records of 382 and 103 were set at Penn State last year. Iowa State's 104 points broke the previous high of 87, held jointly by the Cyclones and Oklahoma State. Magnificent Dan Gable, Iowa State captain, won his second National Col- legiate title, moving up from 130, where he won last year. He pinned all five of his opponents at 137 to win the Gorriaran trophy and was named outstanding wrestler as well. Ken Melchoir, Lock Haven State, was the only other defending champion, and he moved up from 115 to 123, where he lost in the quarterfinals and did not reach the consolations. Gable not only spearheaded the Iowa State physical attack but was the ringleader in the psychological warfare that propelled the entire team into fired-up performances. Ten of the 11 members scored points. Iowa State's other individual champions were Jason Smith, 167 and Chuck Jean, 177. Oklahoma's champions, all runnersup a year ago, were David McGuire, 130, who also won the title in 1967; Mike' Grant. 145, and Cleo McGlory, 160. The other champions were John Miller, 115, Oregon; Wayne Boyd. 123, Temple; Gobel Kline, 152, Maryland; Tom Kline, 191, Cal Poly, and heavyweight Jess Lewis, Oregon State. Boyd, McGuire, Kline, McGlory and Kline are seniors. Miller, Gable, Grant, Smith and Lewis are juniors. Jean is a sophomore. Lewis, a member of the U.S. Olympic wrestling team at Mexico City, performed impressively, pinning his first four opponents before outclassing Michigan State's highly regarded Jeff Smith in the final match, 6-1.
