Tuesday, March" 29, 1949 THE DAILY NEBRASKAN PAGE 3 Herb Reese Takes Third In NCAA 'Championships Herb Reese, sensational sophomore wrestler from Om aha, climaxed his first year of collegiate competition as-he fought his way to third place in the NCAA 175-lb. cham pionships Saturday at Fort Collins. Reese started off with a first round win over Diers- dorf of San Diego State College. In his quarter-final match, Reese was ahead in points in the third round when his opponent sprained his ankle and forfeited the match. JIM GREGSON of Oklahoma A. & M. defeated Herb in the semi final round. Gregson went on to beat Joe Scarpello of Iowa in the finals to take the championship. In the semi-finals of the consola tion bracket, Reese pinned Dexter of Cornell in 1:38 of the first round with a leg split. He then went on to decision Waldemar Van Cott of Purdue in the finals to win third place. Van Cott pinned Scarpello last year and this year lost a one point decision. Bob "Peewee" Yambor, Big Seven champion, drew a seeded player and lost a decision to Pen ninger, who took second place in the 121-lb. bracket. In the semi finals of the consolation, Yambor pinned a Wyoming boy and then went on to drop a one point deci sion to Garth Lappin of Minne sota for fourth place. Mickey Sparano, conference 136 lb. champion, drew Leo Thomscn of Cornell, a member of the Olympic team last summer, for his first opponent. In the consol ation bracket Mickey again drew a seeded player. Joe Patacil of Purdue, Big 9 champion, took a hard fight from Sparano before winning a 6 to 3 decision. Coach Pat Patterson is now compiling the points for each boy to determine the high point man for the year. The final standings will be released at a later date.
