Winner of the meet was power- ful Oklahoma A&M, which won its 17th team title in 25 years. In second place, and nine points be- hind the winner, was Penn State. 4 They were followed by Pittsburgh, Oklahoma, Lehigh, Iowa, and Michigan in that order. 23 Points In scoring 23 points, the Wolver- ines wound up just one point out of sixth place and but five out of? third. Other Big Ten teams which placed were Illinois, ninth, Michi- gan State, 14th, Wisconsin, 16th, Indiana, 17th, and Purdue, tied for 24th.. Michigan stars Andy Kaul and Mike Rodriguez were each defeat- ed in the finals of their respective divisions. Kaul, fourth in last year's meet, was surprised by Lawrence Fornicola, of Penn State, in the 137 pound class. Fornicola, not good enough to make the Penn State squad last year, whipped Kaul, 6-0. Sophomore Mike Rodriguez, in a thrilling match, was nipped by Bill Weick of Iow State Teach- ers, 6-4. Weick won the 137 pound title in 1952, and captured the 157 pound laurel last night after two years in the armed services. Rod- riguez had beaten Ed Rooney of Syracuse in the semi-finals earlier in the evening. In the 123 pound consolation round, Michigan's Dan Deppe, beaten by Dick Meeks 3-1, gain- ed fourth place. Meeks, from Illi- nois, also defeated Deppe in the Big Ten meet three weeks ago. Outstanding Wrestler The outstanding wrestler award went to Ed Eichelberger, of Lehigh, who won the 147-pound title by pinning Lloyd Corwin, of Cornell College. It was his fourth pin in five tournament matches. Leading Oklahoma to the title were Myron Roderick and Fred Davis. Roderick took the 130 pound class, while Davis was winning in the 167 pound division. Six of the individual champion- ships were decided by falls. Peter Blair of Navy, retained his 191 pound crown by pinning Big Ten champ, Ken Leuer, of Iowa, in 5:01. Blair, along with Roderick and Weick, were the only repeat- ing champions. Other Matches In other matches, Terry Mc- Cann, of Iowa, pinned David Bow- lin, Oklahoma A&M, in the 115 pound class, in 7:06, and Dan Kodge, Oklahoma, threw Joe Krufka, of Penn State, to capture the 177 pound division, Ed Peery of Pittsburgh notched the 123 pound event, while in the final match of the evening, 3800 fans saw William Oberly, of Penn State, decision Werner Seel, of Le- high. In accordance with the meet regulations, Michigan's Don Ha- ney and Max Pearson were unable to enter the consolation round, be- cause the men who defeated them failed to reach the finals. In taking its second champion- ship in a row, Oklahoma scored a record number of 40 points. In win- ning, the Aggies were to forced to come from behind Pittsburgh, who placed four men in the semi-finals. The Aggies had placed only three. Santee Sets Mile Mark In Chicago CHICAGO (-) - Wes Santee thrilled a Chicago Daily News Re- lays crowd of 15,262 last night as he swept to victory in the famed Bankers Mile in 4:04.2, a new rec- ord .for the event, at the Chicago Stadium. Coming within six-tenths of a second of the world indoor mile record, the gangling Kansan ran the event in the second best in- door time of his career. Last night's performance eclipsed the old Daily News Relays mark of 4:06.4, set by Gil Dodds in 1944. Dalzell Sets Pace Art Dalzell, a fellow Kansan and Santee's favorite pacemaker, set the pace by winning the first quarter in :62.0, and the half-mile in 2:04. Phil Coleman of the University of Chicago took the lead at the three-quarter mark in 3:07 before TERRY SAWCHUK ... foils Leafs SECOND BEST-Andy Kaul (left) and Jim Walters display the nearly-top form which gave them runner-up positions in the.

The second of Walters' three final dives, a cutaway one-and- one-half somersault, was one of the best of the meet, but Harri- son wouldn't be beaten. Harrison led by 15 points after the morning's required dives, but Walters picked up 16.1 points on the Big Ten champion in his two voluntary afternoon dives to en- ter the evening's finals with a slim 1.1 lead. Wardrop Second in 440 In addition to Walters' perform- son preserved the OSU three-year diving monopoly by winning the ance, the best Michigan could do last night was a second place fin- ish by Jack Wardrop in the 440- yard freestyle. Captain Bumpy Jones was forced to close his spec- tacular career in anything but a blaze of glory, having to settle for a third in the butterfly breast- stroke to add to his second place in Friday's orthodox breaststroke finals. Wardrop, who beat OSU's Ford Konno, in the 220, was unable to keep up with the Buckeye Co-Cap- tain in the 440-yard event. Konno took an early lead and was never seriously threatened, although Wardrop did manage to close the gap some in the last 40 yards. The Scotch star's time of 4:32.2 was good enough to top Okla- homa's Graham Johnston for sec- ond. Southener Wins Butterfly Event Jones and defending champion Dave Hawkins, of Harvard, were no match for Phil Drake, a North Carolina sophomore, in the but- terfly event. Jones battled Hawk- ins for the lead during the first 125 yards, but Drake then made his move and won going away. The individual medley turned out to be much the same kind of race as the butterfly, with Ohio State's Wiggins gaining an easy win while four men fought a close battle for second. Jim McKevitt, of Iowa State, got the judges' nod for the run- nerup spot over Stanford's Larry Heim, although the timers clocked Heim in 1:29.4 to McKevitt's 1:29.6. Michigan's Bert Wardrop was timed in only two-tenths of a second slower than McKevitt, while Indiana's Dick Tanabe was another two-tenths of a secontd behind. In the medley relay, North Car- olina State and North Carolina managed to just touch out the Wolverine entry for third and fourth places. Bert Wardrop, Fritz My ers, and Ron Gora were clocked in the fastest of the' three times, 2:50.8, but once again the judges' decision differed from that of the timers. 100-YARD BACKSTROKE -1.

PETERSBURG, Fla. (P) -v Casey Stengel, the man who made baseball history by managing the New York Yankees to five straight pennants, was charged yesterday with assault on a photographer and use of profane language. According to an affidavit by Brannan "Sandy" Sanders, pho- tographer for the St. Petersburg Independent, Stengel used profane language and kicked Sanders on the right leg during the Yanks ex- hibition game with Brooklyn yes- terday. Refuses Comment Reached at -the Yankee club- house Stengel at first refused com- ment. Later he told reporters, "this! whole thing is being blown up out of proportion. All I told the fel- low was to get out of the way, that he was in the line of vision. Sure, I yelled at him and told him to! get out, when he sat down in the dugout because he didn't belong there. He said he had to make a living, and I told him we had to make one too." Sanders had a different version. "I was on the field in the firstf inning when Brooklyn had loaded the bases with nobody out," he said. "With a man on third, I moved near home plate to get a possible picture. Stengel yelled, 'We're working, move away.' "I moved away, over near the Brooklyn bench where a couple of the players said to roe, 'Who does that guy think he is to talk to you like that?' "Get Out" "I was going back toward first base and stopped by the dugout to tell Stengel I'd like to make a picture at home plate and would only be a few seconds. I was try- ing to apologize for blocking his view when. he cussed me out and kicked me on the right leg. He jumped up, made threatening ges- tures and yelled, 'Who do you think you are coming into our dug- out? I told you to get the hell out of the ball park, didn't I?' "I left the field and told my sports editor, Jeff Moshier, I was not going to take that stuff from anybody." Harold Ballew, managing editor of the Independent, said he was considering a protest to commis- sioner Ford Frick but was with- holding it at the request of George Wiess, Yankee general manager, pending the result of an investi- gation by Weiss.
