Major funding for this program was provided by Friends of Iowa Public Television.

It's college wrestling tonight from the Hilton Coliseum in Ames, Iowa.

Iowa Public Television brings you the Iowa Hawkeyes versus the Iowa State cyclones.

Two teams that over the past 20 years have dominated the sport, taking 15 NCAA titles with many of the nation's top athletes and the two best coaches.

Good evening, everybody.

I'm Doug Brown.

And with me is Chuck Patton, former coach of University of Northern Iowa.

Do I dare say how many years?

No.

You don't want to talk after 18 years, but we want to tell that real loud.

But here we are tonight with Iowa State and Iowa and the resumption of what in college sports is as good as any rivalry in any sport, anything happens here.

We've had 15,000 people sometimes seeing the strangest things over the years.

Well, I'm sure when you start to talk about strange things, you're probably alluding to that big match when Iowa State beat Iowa with a head pin at heavyweight, that was one of them.

That was Owens and Bobby Lou Bannock.

Right.

Three years ago, the last time that Iowa has lost Iowa State.

Boy, that was something.

Well, something.

And then, you know, Lou Barnett goes on to be a two time national champion and he ends up being an Olympic champion.

Well, let's come down to heavyweight lots of times.

And it has been one in the first match, too.

But Iowa has dominated in the last couple of years.

We have to say that.

There's no doubt about it.

Yes.

And I believe that they're going to dominate this meet tonight.

They're very solid in the middle, even though they have a couple of their starters out.

They are just a real solid team up the gut.

Well, we've had a lot of people brave this terrible weather, 25 below zero and 40 mile an hour winds to see Iowa against Iowa State again and the resumption of this rivalry and to see the first match since the big story came out with Harold Nichols announcing that he's going to resign to retire after 37 years.

Well, Nick is one of the real grand men in wrestling.

And I'll tell you that the administration here at Iowa State is just going to get inundated with applications because this is one of the top jobs in the country.

It sure is.

And I suppose they're going to have to ask this man down in Iowa City a direct question sometime or later, and they'll be shaking the tree there going to be people here.

They're going to try to rattle Dan Gable out of that job.

And of course, you can look at his record there and realize that Iowa State has put three of those losses and one of those ties on Dan Gable's record, Dan Gable, who was the coach of the Olympic team this last summer, and he has one of his Olympic wrestlers very early in the lineup.

It's 126 pounder.

Barry Davis.

Yes.

Barry Davis is one of the real fine offensive wrestlers in the United States.

He just goes after it offensively all the way.

Now, he also can defend himself.

Here you see the other man making an offense.

But Barry just makes a real quick snap down spin and then turns him toward his back.

He's going to have to be ready tonight because John Thorne is fully capable of an upset.

While John is a real good top man here, he scores a takedown, But watch how he turns right to the offense and comes right after the man trying to get that near-fall at £142.

Tonight, we're going to have a rematch.

This is Kevin Dresser of Iowa.

Kevin has made a real strong showing here.

He does a real nice knee block for a takedown right into a near fall position.

But he's going to have to be tough, too, because his opponent is one of the Gibbons boys, Joe.

Joe is just a real fine athlete, a four time state champion, one of the very few in Iowa, always on the offense.

Here you see him make a real nice high crotch effort into his opponent, penetrates real deep and then turns the corner to come on in for his takedown.

If it should come down to heavyweight.

Tonight, here's Iowa's heavyweight.

He's a little heavyweight, well, a little by £240.

But you can see that that size can really work to his advantage with a nice foot sweep where he takes his man to the mat and ends up with the fall.

And his opponent is a big man, Darrell Petersen of Iowa State, big by £350.

That's a big weight difference.

Here's a nice offensive effort where he drives and through does a little knee pass and goes right on through his man for the takedown on the edge of the mat.

Those are some of the people you're going to see tonight.

We have and in our mission feature tonight, off the Mat with the Gibbons boys, three of them who meant so much to the Iowa State program.

Well, it's number four, Iowa State against number one, Iowa.

The Hawkeyes tonight on Iowa Public television.

We're back at Hilton Coliseum for college wrestling.

And there you see the season records of these two fine teams.

Iowa is undefeated and leads in this series and has won the last seven meetings between these two teams.

We're going to take a look at the starting lineup for tonight.

And there are the first five weights and you see silver medalist Barry Davis at 126 against John Thorn at 140 to match.

Chuck ought to be a dandy.

That should be the real big one here early in this match at 150.

Could be a good one, too.

Heffernan is ranked number one, but Jackson has surprised a lot of people this year for Iowa State.

In the upper weights, you see some young people for Iowa as well as Iowa State.

Kaufman and Alger are fill ins at 158 and 67, and at 177.

That'll be a good one.

At the heavyweight you saw a while ago, we showed you our opening.

Steve Wilber and Darrell Peterson.

Those are Iowa and Iowa State lineups, Harold Nichols against Dan Gable's team.

I think this is going to be a real nice meet.

Iowa State's got everything to gain if they'll go in here and just go as hard as they can.

And they usually do in this meet.

But quality in the past, we've seen upsets in the first weight and in the last word, not as a rule, but just often enough to make Paul need to turn around.

There's what happened last year at Iowa.

They want everything they put their hands off well and that all Americans back, Doug, they also have two red shirts that add to that.

So they really have six people.

And there's Iowa State, which had, in Harold Nichols terms, a big down year last year with seven losses.

I think that's the first time ever at Iowa State where he's lost more than four meets in one season.

Our referee is Mike X-Line of Charles City, Iowa, and he'll be wearing a microphone so he'll be able to talk.

We'll hear what he has to say to these referees, these wrestlers, as we proceed through them.

£818 in the black for Iowa is Matt Egeland.

And from Iowa State, a young man named Dan Higgins, who is just a freshman.

He's probably a little lighter than most hundred and 18 pounders.

Well, I think Matt Egeland has really made some development in his offensive abilities in the last month.

He's a very good, low level attack.

You'll see him instead of taking the open shots, he'll usually get in close to his man and take low penetrating shots from there and try to be able to put pressure on him.

He's a good high crotch duck under man, meaning that he'll go with the off arm and reach across to his opponent.

I see Dan Higgins, the Iowa state man on the road trying to keep his distance, but he got caught a little underhook and a little flip there from Egeland.

And it's the first two points of the way he cut it.

He caught him on the snap down.

That's what happened.

He cut him, snap down.

Then when he came up out of the snap down, that's when he pitched him over with that underhook.

Now we start in the middle again and they went out of bounds.

And you have Egeland on top.

He's trying to build riding time here.

Remember, at the end of a match, if one wrestler has a minute more riding time than the other man, he gets an extra point.

Egeland is very good at being able to chop one arm and then be able to pull the waste like you see him trying to do right there, chop the arm and pull away.

And if he ever gets you tucked up on top of him, then he gets an opportunity to get in four points.

But he's going to turn you over on your back.

That's right.

That's the point of this sport to turn the man over on his back.

And these Iowa kids have been very good at it for the last eight years or so.

Now.

You see that's what the coach.

Yeah, that's what they call a hip tilt where he tries to get his his knee underneath the other steps and pull him over on top of that knee.

And then he lifts up with the knee.

You see him doing it right here and they'll lift that with the knee and try to be able to tip the man's shoulder toward the man.

Egeland, doing a fine job of riding here.

We have a minute to 19 seconds gone and the first period is like a lot of bounce.

And already Egeland has 59 seconds to riding time.

Well, I would anticipate that in this kind of match, he'll continue to make this effort for about another 15, 20 seconds, maybe not even that long.

That's for a record 28.

But, you know, Iowa feels that they may be having a little trouble of 118 and heavyweight for them, 20 and eight is not a real good record.

They don't anticipate anybody is going to have eight losses probably for the whole team.

So here is a warning against a top man, Egeland.

That's a stalling warning.

In other words, the official felt that he was writing his opponent and not trying to turn him and expose his back.

And as I said, I would anticipate after that kind of call, they'll let him go.

What you just did, he just put in.

Now there's that good cross arm lane where he goes on in, does a nice job, turns the corner and scores a two point takedown and makes it for the escape.

And the Iowa State wrestler at one point, it's now 4 to 1.

But obviously Egeland feels that he's superior on his feet.

Get rid of him.

Well, I would think that right now you can hear the coaches saying, get rid of him.

That means they're trying to encourage their man here.

Now, here's that hip to where he loads him up, tries to expose his back by turning him up on top of the hip.

But he just missed it.

Now, here he runs on it.

He's got the leg tipped and he's got his back coming toward the mat.

Hill The referee says he rolled through.

He did not hold it in that spot and it's still goes for the of excellent Iowa match £118 Iowa against Iowa State.

Look at this kind of time like the Iowa coaches want their man to try to score.

They want him to get in there and get two more points on a takedown.

But it's the Iowa State man doing the offense out of bounds with 2 seconds to go.

There probably will not be another score in this period.

It's going to be a first period of 3 minutes long.

The second period and the third period will be 2 minutes long or less than Iggy.

All right.

There's Harold Nichols, who just announced his retirement at the end of the season, effective the end of the season after 37 years of coaching.

And there's Dan Gable, his most famous pupil, the Iowa State all-American of years ago, now the great Iowa coach and the Olympic coach.

Well, here, Glenn, from Iowa got to his feet, but he has an arm tied up in the process.

And young men that are watching.

And fans have to understand that if you don't have your own arms free when you get to your feet, then you better make sure that you get them free before you get up there.

Now, Higgins had his choice and took up.

This happens in every other match.

The Iowa State wrestlers will get the choice in the first period and every other match in the Iowa in the alternate tournament matches.

And they will have started on the bottom.

Well, that time he did get to his feet and Higgins from Iowa State did not have his hands tied up.

And you saw the result.

He almost got thrown to his back.

And so I would imagine that now he'll try to pick his ankle and stop that stand up there.

He did.

42.

Is the score one in favor of the man who is on the bottom here?

Excellent.

You see the black he he had the arm tied up.

And that's the disadvantage.

When you get to your feet, your arms are tied up.

You have to make sure they're free.

Now, he's got him in bad spot.

The young man from Ohio states putting pressure on the boy from Iowa.

And with that arm tied up, some of that writing time is ticking away.

EGELAND No longer has a minute's difference, and Higgins is doing a rather nice job of writing good, surprisingly so.

He lost his base once he goes down.

Once you're on your belly, it's very difficult for you to score points.

You don't have any moves that you know from the down position in your hips right underneath your jaw throughout the whole assignment on his back is on his back.

You got him over there in a hurry.

What an upset this would be.

It's at least a three point NEAR-FALL And I was like, Oh my three point up that this crowd really got into it.

Nice to see a wrestling crowd get excited.

And they had reason to see, Oh, he just he steps right out around the head.

Once he picks that arm up, he goes all the way out around the head to get him to his back.

It's 5 to 4 in favor of Higgins after that.

NEARFALL There's a lot of match left, 25 seconds in the second period.

But Higgins looks tough on top.

Well, he's taken away his face, Judge.

What he's doing is he's taken away the hips.

Once those hips go down, there aren't any scoring maneuvers that you can do when you land on your belly.

I know the Iowa State coaches talk about Higgins as a very fine technical wrestler, but they thought he might be a little smarter and earn the stolen point against Devlin.

They looked at him, run the ball.

Oh, he's said he finds that he just laying down.

Listen to this crowd down here.

A lot of times things happen in meets like this and a lot of them have happened at £118.

And now we find out what happens on third carries in Iowa.

Well, they intentionally released him because he feels he's better on his feet, like in the score, 7 to 4.

So eagle in the starting from three points down that means he's got a he has to score four takedowns in this period if he's going to win the match why England has the ankle he's trying to come around but doesn't need to get tied up in these kind of positions because they eat up a lot of time.

Higgins was back to score at about all England from Iowa.

Did a nice job right there.

Being able to fight that off because he almost gave it up.

Higgins is a freshman and he's from Council Bluffs, Iowa, Lewes Central School.

Matt Hagelin was from Dowling High School, a good wrestling school in the city of West Des Moines, Iowa.

And now everyone is in on the leg barn fighting him with that open hook.

And it's negative four point it's now 726 to watch the in time because there is none so far all intentionally released.

And again in order to try to get back on his feet where he feels comfortable and I think that's what the coaches from Ohio State are going to want their boy to do is move.

They're going to want him to get motion, move in a circle and not just stand still where he can be as a sitting duck, 8 to 7 as a score shoot on him.

You know, he has to be able to generate offense now every down the way is the weapon preventing the takedown there.

They taking the lead the way.

But 35 seconds to go right.

While England has scored all the takedowns in this match, he's had four Higgins got his shot, escapes a penalty and a nearfall.

Well, this is an important position right now.

Still knocked down, got the Iowa State's got to get a hold of hands and get free speech.

He's got to generate the standup in order to be able to get up.

And as long as one athlete is trying to score, the other man is justified in being able to stay with him and now call for stalling as soon as he starts to stop and not work aggressively, that's when the referees call for stalling.

Hey, 9 to 8, we have 19 seconds to go.

There will be no riding time.

If Higgins can get out at 19 seconds, it will be a tight well he got up with and that was a good move blocking.

I wish they got to his feet.

Young man from Ohio got up with him and that's what we got it out of state.

And there is the Hawk-Eye.

Matt Hagelin pulled that one out with two last period takedown.

And then that was a big way.

They would have hated to lose that.

That was very, very close and a fine match.

Russell By Dan Higgins.

There goes Matt Angland 9 to 8.

The winner over Dan Higgins.

The score after 118, Iowa three and Iowa State.

Nothing.

Here we go at £126.

The man in the black you see taking the shot was the silver medalist for the United States Olympic team, Barry Davis, a two time national champion.

He's not in there with just anybody.

It's John Carr, ranked number four of the country for Iowa State.

Well, John Thorn has a real outstanding single that goes to his right.

Gary Davis does more of a straight end type of action where he doesn't sink to his knees.

You know, he'll go right into his opponent, stay off his knees and come up in underneath the thorn.

We'll try to be able to get a hold of him.

You know, he wants to get a hold of Davis and not let him have any of this, what we call freestyle technique.

Here.

He's in what they call a two on 112 arms on one.

He can work a lot of material off of that, out of bounds.

Well, you won't see Davis get on his knees very much.

That's a that's a characteristic of freestyle wrestling.

They don't get down on their knees.

But he's very good at being able to pull his man in and then be able to step right on back into it.

And he doesn't want to be there.

You see how fast he gets off his knees?

Both men start and he's back to the edge of the mat.

John CORNISH from Algona, Iowa.

These are both seniors and actually their fifth year seniors.

They each had a redshirt year there.

Both Iowa Jerry Davis wrestled at very high school in Cedar Rapids, and he was a three time Iowa State champion before he went on to Iowa.

And now he's in on one leg.

Can he convert this to a takedown?

Well, what he does so well, what a lot of young boys don't do is he gets to his feet, by the way.

He doesn't stay down underneath there.

And there he got the two point takedown.

He kept going from getting his arm in there to the counter.

And Davis has the leg right away.

Well, he's got it.

He's got an outside leg instead of on the inside.

He's got it on the outside.

It's a very good technique that they use to turn men over.

They turn in the hips first rather than the upper body.

Vaughn has the whizzer that's the over hook to the right arm.

And if he got his head up a little bit, Davis was ready to slap a half Nelson on it.

And Davis is very good at the hip.

Tilt You saw Eglin, the 118 pounder, trying to do it.

Davis does the same thing for a while.

He chops an arm and then tucks the hips in real tight, loads him up on a knee and tries to tip him over hips first, and then the shoulders come later.

Mary Davis, who finished second to an outstanding Japanese wrestler and that Japanese going out to make it through the was a Japanese wrestler who was a gold medal winner is now working out at the University of Iowa with his team.

I think that's pretty typical.

You know, if you can't beat him, get a hold of him and get him in and learn how to do it.

A lot in favor of Davis.

And you see what Davis has.

Technique is just hit a knee, step in toward that leg and get back up and he's he knows also I think, the kinds of things that Thorne likes to do.

Thorne likes to use what they call a high crotch or a Kelley.

He's very good with a Kelly And Davis knows very well what Thorne's pet moves are, and he's trying to tie up in such a way as to prevent it.

So now he's got him down underneath him.

There's that little pitch by his caught under an arm to just throw him over.

That little shock move made it 4 to 1 and 4 to 2.

He's willing to go on the field.

He's willing to let him up and trade two for one all the time.

He's he's got raw confidence on his feet.

That's the thing that makes him so good.

When he goes, he really goes hard.

And I'll see that snap down when a man's reaching, He's got his arms out on him and then he just keeps the arms down, gets his body a little extended.

Let's look at the clock.

We have 27 seconds to go.

In the first period, 4 to 2 in favor of Davis, Iowa, leads in the meet, three to nothing.

We're only in the second match at Hilton Coliseum, Iowa against Iowa State.

You don't see you don't see Davis back up very often.

You're not going to see him back out of it very much.

He is just a straight in kind of guy.

Just puts a lot of pressure on you and John has to be able to generate his own offense here and not let Davis start the offense very late in the period.

That's the kind of score that demoralizes an opponent with just almost nothing left in the period.

It's now 6225 and there was no chance for an escape.

So Davis didn't have to trade two for one.

No, he didn't.

And he is coming right at him now.

Now we're at the end of the first period.

This time Iowa's Davis gets his pick and he says he's going to go up and I'm sure he's going to just let him go.

He's going to write him a little while, you know, And try to they'll take a little bit of time.

If he can't get that hip, tell him, go back and rest them on his feet.

Well, he needs about 10 seconds to get riding time and he's probably willing to get that, she thought trying for that over.

But Davis wants to half Nelson one of the one of those that what Thorne is very good at doing is being able to wing you down and step across it.

So Davis is just staying on top of that leg and won't let him have it.

All right.

It's out 63.

This game made it 6 to 3.

Well, he snapped it down, almost got the takedown, but it split one over the line.

That's Thorne and Red of Iowa State.

And he's now down again where he doesn't want to be.

No, not with Davis.

You don't want to be extended like that because he'll snap you and then spin around.

He gets your reach in, and then he just pops down on your arms.

You see him trying to do it there, Just pops you down a little bit.

Doesn't look like much, but it throws you off balance.

And then he comes right back on the offense to hook a leg.

And therefore he's so strong.

It's 6 to 3.

Davis leads a minute and 11.

And now riding time is in Davis's favor.

7 to 3.

I beg your pardon?

He's back into that single again.

Now the Whizzer is preventing the takedown so that Thorne can't can't be scored on right now as long as he has.

That wasn't got to go for seven.

The three is a scar.

So now he steps in, takes the leg, follows it right on through.

But the whizzer prevents the score.

Thorne's whizzer there is effective and negating any possibility.

There's a quick snap right by by Davis and he just cuts him loose again.

Now he's going to rest on his feet.

If you can find the fourth favor of Davis where you can see him putting pressure on, he's just he just goes right straight at you.

Just a little cup on the head, a little snap down on the arm, and then he just comes right on through you and he never leaves.

It never stays on his knees seem walk in heels.

The pressure releases, it scores a takedown.

Now, this is a very good wrestler, this John Thorne, that Barry Dav 11 to 5 right now.

He's going to try to get that technical foul by beating him.

You know, a 15 ahead.

Yes.

In the college wrestling, if you win by more than eight points, it's four points for your team.

If you win by one, an 11, it's five.

And then you win by more than 15 points at any time of the match.

The match stops.

And there's there's another quick snap, too.

I just got him extended, then snapped him down, spun in behind him, scored the takedown.

It's 13 to 5.

It's been a tie.

It's been a long second period for John Thorne of Iowa State.

Here's where he's good on time.

We'll see what he can do with Davis.

He definitely going to have to because he's not going to be able to take him down enough times to see to do it.

He's going to have to try to stay on top, be tough and maybe turn Davis somehow.

He does a good job there, saving his inside arm.

DAVIS Save the arm.

Thorne couldn't get it, and then he pulled himself out.

Now he's just using his legs to pull the top over and get the reversal, and he just cut him loose intentionally 15 to 5 and he lets Thorne go, makes it 15 six.

See how he gets him extended right there.

Gets him out.

He's waiting for him to come up.

Then he snaps him down again, pulls him in in her knees, fixes him in position, and then runs around him.

That's right.

Gets him extended.

It's 15 to 6.

We're now in major decision territory.

This is John Thorne on the right against Davis.

And, oh, a shot from too far out.

Oh, Oh.

He came up on him that time.

Thorne, instead of getting in there and stay, came up around his waist and that prevented Davis opportunity to snap him down.

Now he wants to get off the knees right there.

Don't stay down with the with the man that said good on the snap.

Davis still has a ten second running time advantage and a nine point lead.

Now Thorne has taken away.

Davis is on offense by offense on his own and didn't get it all paralleled by Davis.

Nice left and hip, sweet time.

When he got in, he picked the hips up and then swept the man's legs out.

Forward and take it.

Take him backward.

So watch him left and then sweep the legs forward in order to secure the takedown.

And Thorne had a watch himself in that situation, he could have ended up on his back.

And here's a beautiful double leg tackle by Davis, a good one that almost had two points for Near-Fall and it's now 119 to 8.

An 11 point lead really intentionally released him to make it go 19 to 9.

But he's back in that same position again.

Thorne gets extended, Davis pulls on an arm that starts to snap him, then starts to run.

He just does.

He has a lot of mobility there, going down nine takedowns for very Davis, the silver medalist, and four Iowa up and around he comes it's 21 two.

It's a nine point lead.

And I'll tell you, 15 seconds left.

The riding time would make it the equivalent of a 13 point lead.

And if Davis could pick up a couple more here somehow in 15 seconds, that would be it.

Well, I would imagine they're going to keep him down now and try to do it with the legs.

But you can see Andre probably understand now why he's a silver medalist and why he made that team and why he's as good as he is in international competition.

He's just very good on his feet.

Oh, he's another one of these people.

Look out.

Here he comes again.

One second to go.

It's a 21 to 9 lead.

And there are not very many who are going to get that kind of a score on an Iowa state.

But there is one of them, Gary Davis, silver medalist in the 1984 Olympics and a winner against Iowa State, 22 to 9.

That makes it five points for the team.

And it is now Iowa eight and Iowa State.

Nothing.

And here we go, £134.

The Iowa Hawkeyes have won the first two matches in this cyclone Hawkeye rivalry at Hilton Coliseum.

Referee Mike X-Y is just about to start the third ranked wrestler in the country at this way, Greg Randall in the black for Iowa.

His opponent is a freshman from Worthington, Ohio, for Iowa State.

Joe Ceci, outside to be a national runner up one year and be ranked third the next year.

So Randall has not been doing a lot of wrestling.

He's had a little trouble making weight and he was injured early.

But he's a real Gore.

He's just comes right out and there's a nice low shot to this man's leg.

And it looked easy and he intentionally released him to come back and wrestling on his feet.

And again, these Iowa wrestlers feel very confident on their feet.

So they're going to generate a lot of offense.

So it isn't that they have a variety of moves is that they put a lot of pressure on you.

They're into you all the time.

You don't have to worry about where they are.

They're right in front of you coming after you, not running away.

Kasey, a redshirt freshman for Iowa State, has wrestled some good people and he's done quite well this year.

His record is 22.

At 11, he's won some big matches, but he's lost some if he didn't expect to lose.

So that was a little extended right there against him.

But it's that kind of shot that Randall puts on him that could get Randall in trouble because Jesse is powerful and he's quick to get him extended.

Now Jesse has a chance to be able to pitch him over on that.

Sarandos Got to get a little closer.

There's a shot where he is close in and he just straight into the legs and caught the devil.

And boy, that's what you do when you're behind 4 to 1 right away against an Iowa wrestler.

It begins to look like a long match.

Well, you know that they're not going to let up.

They're not going to get ahead by by several points and sit up there.

You know, he just intentionally releases them in order to get back and wrestling on his feet like it is now 4 to 2.

And Randall in the black on the right.

But you can see the difference here between around on the Davis there's Randall down on his knees and it is just a little different style when you watch the boy smile.

We never going to see any two of them wrestle exactly the same angle.

Jesse tried to shoot through under the arm and there was no Randall there when he got to where he wanted to go.

And so he gets caught himself with that single leg that turns into a double.

And it's another takedown for Randall 6 to 2.

Well, he lost his base here also.

And this is a dangerous position for the young man from Iowa State.

He's got his down off his hips.

That's how you get turned over.

Got to get back like he is now.

Get back and get up off of your belly.

As long as one man has his supporting parts inside, they're still in bounds.

So that's why when Randall was outside in the matter and Randall got some back points on that two near-fall points.

Well, he had the back exposed past a 45 degree angle.

And anytime you go through there and you don't continue in one motion, he stopped there.

You can see him here.

He comes in on the double blocks, the other knee and swings right on it, crossed up to the waist and powers him right on down to the mat for his takedown.

And if you can hold a man on his back for 5 seconds, you get three points for it.

Not to Randall on top.

The tight waist trying to crunch in the near arm.

Jesse comes to his feet.

Well, he'll work out a little bit now because he feels that he may have enough opportunity to turn it.

But he's got 35 seconds, so he just lets him go.

And we're only in the first period.

It's 8 to 3 in favor of Randall, another outstanding product of Iowa high school wrestling.

He's only a couple of years out of high school.

Well, he's another four time state champion.

It's one of those things that's very hard to do.

There aren't a lot of those in Iowa.

You go to wrestling state, you went for state titles.

You're very good competitors.

There's a nice double.

He switches his hips around, he turns in.

He could put Jesse in a lot of trouble here.

Yeah, He gets the takedown, but this is out of balance.

Before Near-Fall points could be taken.

And Harold Nichols is now a little bit discouraged by that.

Here's Barry Davis.

We're going to hear referee Mike.

Excellent.

Got a question from Harold Nichols coming out.

Doubt.

But what he's saying right now is that the man from Iowa State was out of bounds.

But the man from Iowa, you was inbounds and that's why you gave him the takedown right there.

And it's 10 to 3, 10 to 3 in favor of Randall still in the first period.

Mount it up.

That score is going down.

So here he makes the shot straight on in, clears it, turns it.

Now watch out.

The man from Iowa State tries to turn him over, but he shifts his hips to the other side.

And even though it doesn't look like he's got control, he's holding that man down as a second period start drift.

The Iowa wrestler Randall is on top.

He decides to let Jesse go.

He's had so much success on his feet, he'll try it up here.

It's 10 to 4.

We're going to tie up.

He's made some long shots, but the best the most effective wrestling that he's done is when he's in close touch.

And in right here, he gets in that position.

There's that shot just a little too long and he gets stopped.

And Alexia does a great job here, get to speed.

He gets back up to his feet in order not to give that up.

We had a from Iowa State's in on the legs.

There's no takedown yet because he doesn't have control and there's a potentially dangerous hold up.

So the referee stops it to avoid any injury.

Yes.

Any time that heel comes outside the line of the upper leg, then the referee should stop it so the knee doesn't get twisted.

It's Iowa State and Iowa State.

Nothing.

Boy was a hair raiser at £218 the Hawkeyes, but they lost one there for just a few seconds.

But Eglin came back and it's eight to nothing.

And here at 134, Randall just got another takedown and leads Jesse of Iowa State 12 to 16, going to Apple.

Oh, he's coming straight in line right up the whistle, just going right to him.

And then on through.

And it's not just shooting and stopping.

He's going right on through that takedown position.

And we'll see if he cuts him loose again.

He still has a minute, ten almost here in the second period.

Move.

They start from the referee's position with Randall on top.

He's going to ride a little while here.

From the looks of it, try to get the cradle, lock those hands underneath.

And it didn't work as he managed to straighten out.

Sucks Jesse back.

This is how knees get hurt right there.

So he just like Solow Well, as an escape, that was one of the guys he worked for.

And it's 12 five.

A favorite Iowa Hawkeyes try to get their third straight win here at £134.

They have a nice, balanced team once they get into very Davis and right on through if they have the two Kisner boys in there know we're both national runner ups last year, it just puts a very formidable lineup in action and then debut of course is complaining that they're being inconsistent.

Sure he has the best team, but that's how you got to be the best.

And by making them better.

A double take shot by Randall again, that fails.

It was a little too far and he just didn't quite have the other man set up or didn't have it in position to do that.

Now, he's a little bit out of position right here, just kind of hanging on to the arm and or not yet.

Tip and Jesse needs to up off his knees and start to run that thing, get him in a circle.

Referee says it's not going anywhere.

He calls it a stalemate, sends them back to the middle and another long double leg shot by Randall.

He tried to try to steal one right at the end of the period and shoot it.

Okay.

Now, this time, there's Dan Gable.

He his wrestlers to go in the third grade.

Jesse is having some injury problems here.

He's having some troubles with his knee.

Would I think that he probably has a bruise on his knee from listening to the officials and the coaches talking.

He might have had a bruise on the knee and they were looking to maybe if he had a donut on it to just take some of the pressure off that knee when it strikes, even though there's an iPad there when it strikes, and that it's sort of like a bone bruise and it just becomes very painful.

You notice that the official Iowa State coaches, there's less, Anderson, than the left corner.

Former national champion is not they are not giving him instructions on what to do.

Well, it's illegal.

That's right.

It's illegal for coaches to coach the injured athlete.

What they did was they tried to make that rule so an athlete wouldn't fake an injury.

On the other side, however, you can bet the Dan Gable was offering what he could to protect Randall.

That, to us means that was a high school when he was in high school, he won the National Junior championship when he was still in high school as well as four state championships.

Joe Gatorade came to Iowa State from Worthington, Ohio.

He is a redshirt freshman now.

He's trailing here at 12 to 5 with the third period just starting.

And he is going to have to go some to prevent a major loss of points for the team.

He's he's hanging back around the hip and Randall is trying to free the waist with the whizzer.

And then he freed the waist right there and scored one.

And that's an escape.

That's an escape for Randall makes it 13 to 5, an eight point difference.

Randall does have riding time to about a minute, 18 seconds of difference.

He has the two on one there used to call that the Russian ride.

Well when they the Russian tie up and when they call it that, we always thought that they were giving the Russians too much credit.

So we just started calling a two on one.

Mike Excellent.

The referee says that Greg Randall is taking a little bit too easy out there, even if he's ahead 35 and he warns it, well, they wants him to get the action going there.

He's obviously superior so far and he's saying that, you know, you're resting on it.

So there he shot in the leg, but he just didn't get turned around and now is underneath.

And this is not a good position to be read.

Yes.

He has that leg underhook position tie up on top, but it didn't go anywhere.

Mike.

Excellent.

Sends him back to the center again.

I'm sure that the coaches want Randall get going.

You know, keep up his intensity.

Now you got to head by 13 to 5.

Get ahead by 14 to 5.

Here's a young man.

You might look for a better Olympic team from the United States Greg Randall.

He's got great balance.

He leads 13 to 5.

Guess he comes in on the leg.

That's the first leg shot that he pull off.

You realize that in this meet so far in three matches, Iowa State has not a single takedown.

They have been able to take Iowa down at all.

It starts to show and the team score, too, because we're seeing an eight point difference right here, right now.

Remember, 142 coming next is probably Iowa State's best wrestler, Joe Gibbons, against Kevin Russell.

He's awfully good, too, from Iowa.

And there is another takedown for two points for Greg Randall 15 to 5 over the long double and he just a little too quick with Randall at the end of more than a advances his total win writing time to an 11 point margin Randall 16 of Jesse five That's good for four points for the team the score after 134 Iowa 12 Iowa State doesn't £142 between Iowa and Iowa State.

He wrestled between Joe Gibbons, a junior from Ames, Iowa, home top prospect on the right down his face twice at fourth place in the national team ranked third in the country.

And Kevin Presser of Iowa, a junior from Humboldt, Iowa, who is ranked fourth in the country now, They're very evenly matched.

I think they met last year in a dual meet, and Gibbons won it six three.

But they're they're quite even.

Well, I think Dresser is a lot more experienced this year.

He was wrestling sort of in a junior varsity capacity last year behind him.

It just got a nice high five but Jesse presser counter counter counter doesn't have he doesn't have the takedown yet neither distressing.

There's no control right here.

You saw the referee looking down at him.

In fact, he's very near his ass because he didn't get the takedown.

And wrestler countered that, yes, he did.

He didn't give it up.

We get right to it.

The first.

And Iowa State still doesn't have a takedown where £142 Kevin Presser against George given those are some of the people who braved the 25 below zero 40 mile an hour wind whether this wings that down.

You know right when it looks like Gibbons is going to take him down, he just wing down on the arm and rolled through.

But looking at the back there, very tough spot.

There's a tough spot for the team.

Now we start again with wrestler on top.

As I said, the dresser, I don't know how this match will come out, but Dresser has a lot more experience this year out of that university can pass it into a starting spot.

And it's made him a little bit tougher to go on as a score.

Harold Nichols of Iowa State just went to the scorer's table.

He has to signal when he wants to discuss something with the referee and he's upset, but he's going to have to wait until there's a break in the action to get it.

Any chance for a conversation with Mike?

Excellent.

Joe Gibbons has a real nice what they call cross arm leader high crotch.

He just comes across very nice here.

He cut dresser just a little extended but this is a battle between two really outstanding athletes and Gibbons has the position right here.

As long as Dressler has the arm, there won't be any score.

Now he's in on the leg.

Can he finish?

This move?

He has to get him down into a controlled position and as a good counter move by Dresser while he's under the arm now.

So as long as he can stay under the arm, he can keep Gibbons from going in behind.

And this is liable to be stalemated right in here because neither man can improve very much.

And it is two excellent counters here.

Gibbons made good first moves and Dresser counted them both.

Now here comes X-Line referee.

Excellent to talk to Harold Nichols.

We have 58 seconds left to go.

In the first period every now ask asking is the first time that Gibbons got into the game.

Did he have it?

Did he have a takedown?

And the referee said no, didn't have control to do one or two scores.

We go back to action.

We have less than a minute to go.

In the first period.

Joe Gibbons comes from a wrestling family whose brother, Jim Gibbons, was an assistant coach in the Iowa State team.

As an additional champion, he has a younger brother, Jeff Gibbons, who is on this team right now and will be a star of the future.

I think between those boys, they must have something like nine state championships.

And I'm sure that they want to get another national championship in the family before they're done.

Beautiful inside trip, everybody.

By dressing up, Gibbons managed to.

Well, that's it That's outstanding.

One of the really great moves that a lot of good wrestlers are using now the inside trip off of the Arctic farm team and very aggressive.

You can't use that move and not be aggressive.

You have to really go after somebody where the last 3 seconds of the first period of 142 to 1 is a star address all over again.

That's there is a former national champion and the Olympic champion at £198 this last year, Eddie Banner.

Joe, he's doing a radio broadcast back to Iowa City for the Hawkeyes.

Joe Gibbons in the red got on an out of the referee's position.

Starting the second period down is Kevin Dresser Iowa lead to the beat 12 to nothing and pressure is almost out of here.

Oh that was a wing roll.

He just caught his arm reaching underneath him.

Almost came across him right there.

But just superior athletic ability by Gibbons right out of it, wrestlers wrestling and a lot of confidence.

Yes, he is very aggressive blazer if he knows what he's about and purpose and block there's another wing role.

It takes him off the mat.

Well, he always got a referee that time.

But Gibbons has been a little injured.

You know, he had an ankle injury that kept him from work wrestling the beat last week.

And I'm sure that it probably has kept him from working out some.

We'll see how the conditioning holds up with this kind of intensity.

It's a pretty aggressive match right here.

Joe Gibbons can't keep Dresser standing up for getting up the board.

3 to 1 now in favor of wrestling.

And we're back to on the feet.

Kevin Grasso is not just a normal wrestler.

He's a champion over at Humble Iowa.

And of course, Joe's a four time state champion here in Ames, Iowa.

So these two guys have seen each other before as they both have been warned for inactivity.

So next time, it's a point for whoever gets the accusation from the referee X lot is going away in the center.

Get out there.

In the first period, Gibbons made to what looked to be good takedown of wrestler countered both of them got a out of one they're kind of right now as they go in here they're like this got an arm caught up in a uniform inadvertently so it doesn't call but it's just grabbing close 44 seconds to go In the second period.

The rider comes about, but they're fighting for position.

That's a nice inside move by Gibbons.

He got it nice on the high crack.

He's got the leg in.

He picks it up.

Well, they're going to take that.

All right.

It's three three.

There is the first picked out of the picture.

Well, Iowa State, the Cyclones finally got one and it had to go to £142 for it to happen.

Well, he can stay down there as long as the man attempts to try to return to a state.

As soon as a man stops trying to escape, then he's got to move up like you just did.

You can see the time coming down.

He has to hold up position end of the period, end of the period of three, three minute riding time.

Gibbons has 56 seconds left.

Anderson is the gentleman in the dark suit and Joe Gibbons, older brother, Jim Gibbons, an Iowa state national champion, is standing on your right.

And in the center of the screen, the grand old man of wrestling, Harold Nichols.

What career?

37 years, six national championships.

Probably doesn't have ulcers either.

Oh, thinking, well, I'll give it a shout out and leads 43 eight down was quite aggressive in underneath it and even though he may not score here, he's got him in a bad position.

No wrestler be like this for very long if he can help it.

They're probably quite a young man from Iowa as head of state.

Gibbons does a nice job of spinning, but he just doesn't pull the arm off the floor.

Came back nice to a single leg.

He's got the leg tied up.

And what he's got to do is be able to move his opponent.

They'll be able to put him out of position to score the takedown.

What a fight gets it.

Wrestler, aggressor, referee is well, he's pulling the leg away.

But that's what Gibbons needs to do, is pull the leg away, go watch wrestlers doing a great job here.

And the referee calls it a stalemate.

Naturally, to the dismay of the Iowa State partizan crowd, Gibbons leads 4 to 3 rather feet here with a minute and 9 seconds left to go in the match.

You'll see these guys as they start to lean on each other and they get a little fatigue.

Then somebody will just pop the head, just snap down on the head in the arm, try to pull his opponent out of position A little referee's counting here because now both of these men have been warned.

He's letting them know that no matter who is giving the best field goal, he's made him the man.

Now, that was one of the real excellent, deep, penetrating, high crosses.

And then he gets one of the real good jobs, elevating his hips.

He just put his hips in their knees and elected the man right off the mat.

Oh, that's a threat for putting him fight in there because he was in the air.

And at 6 to 3, the same score we had last year.

Hey, a point for the wrestler.

It was his penalized for not making that move go at at 6 to 4.

Well the rule is you have to you have to try to make the move to put the other man down on the mat and that's what he was penalized for that time.

He didn't try to take him down.

This is not over yet.

He's got 25 seconds to go.

Gibbons is trying to hold pressure, keep it from getting out, reverse it or oh, with a shot by Lester, just kind of wanting to get that ball and it's up to him, too.

Well, he got the ball together and got the reverse of three near-fall because he held it for 5 seconds and then a six point more aggressive reversal.

But given the Iowa State at the Cyclones first victory, he'll give it a tough match at 142 beats.

Kevin Presser 9 to 6 And so the Cyclones are on the board after £142, it's Iowa 12 and the cyclones now have three.

Now we're ready to go at £150 at Hilton Coliseum in Ames Iowa.

Between Iowa and Iowa State, number one ranked Hawkeyes have won seven straight national championships against Iowa State.

And at 130, Jim Heffernan in the black of Iowa ranked number one in the country against Larry Jackson, a junior from Marshalltown, Iowa, Junior College Transfer, where he's been a tough wrestler for the Cyclones this year.

I think fair to say, was a real nice, deep penetrating shot like Jackson, and he did a neat pass to take him to his back, but they were off the mark.

Well, he got Jim Heffernan's attention anyway.

He certainly did.

And I think what you'll see in watching this match is Jackson's start fast.

And he has to because Heffernan will be able to go the whole route.

Jackson has a little bit of trouble and probably more mental fatigue than it is literally the three there's a nice big shot picked off by Iowa State, a double leg by Jackson, two to nothing in favor of the Cyclones.

Jackson but he can get in here and stay in here.

It could really be a big note on the watch.

He gets in got the legs, drove his body right on through.

That's what made that work.

Just Candy's motion going right on through to see happened and trying to get his arms under there and maybe throw off that move and take advantage of Jackson's movement ahead, his energy going straight into him, but he couldn't do it.

Yeah, Jordan, I think when it gets to his feet, Jackson is trying to save the leg.

Oh, he's got, you know, his left arm to get that man off the man.

And he did?

Why?

Well, boy, can't do this.

Let that man have one leg tied between your legs and then have his other leg on the mat.

If he does, then he can throw.

So Jackson from Iowa State did a good job there of being able to lift his opponent and get all four supports off the mat.

You're right.

He will have to start fast because he has had some trouble in the third period of a lot of matches.

And Heffernan didn't get to be ranked number one by wrestling just for a little while.

That's right.

He's doing a good job here on Heffernan.

Heffernan is doing a good job getting to his feet, but Jackson is tying up arms and tripping legs and putting a lot of pressure on him.

He's got it now, a spot where he's lost his base.

He's got the arm tied up and right now he has an opportunity to conceivably just go right on after some more of that, not hang back the groin after some more out of bounds with a minute.

35 to go in the first period, a three minute first period, second and third period, you know, are 2 minutes long.

Larry Jackson, That JUCO means that it was won the National Junior College Championship, transferred to Iowa State.

This is his first year wrestling for Harold Nichols.

You see, Heffernan from Iowa gave up the arm.

Jackson had the arm tied up.

So then when Heffernan got to his feet, he just tripped the legs.

There was no brace there to stop him from trying to break the hands.

But just around on his knees, Jackson staying right with it.

What you can't do is hang back now.

You can't hang back on, man, because then he'll get a hold of your hands and use his back to find you and start to bridge up and get to his feet.

You want to keep him down on the mat?

Jackson of Iowa State.

The cyclone against the Hawkeyes.

Jim Heffernan, 12 to 3.

The Hawkeyes late in the meet after four matches, Joe Gibbons gave Iowa State its first win by beating Kevin Dressler, the number three of four men in the country at 142.

Oh, he's just cut right there.

He's got an arm.

He just keeps the pressure on now, you know, right now.

And Heffernan's down.

He's got his head out of position down on the mat.

But what he doesn't want to do is let him build up.

The boy from Iowa State doesn't want to let him start doing this.

I actually a warning on the bottom against Heffernan.

Jackson managed to break it down, get him off his feet again, flattened him out.

He's done very well.

Here is a minute and 51 seconds worth of riding time.

He's clearly dominated this first period.

It looks like he's got weight on him to come back to the center.

You see Hilton Coliseum?

Yeah.

30 seconds.

There are six wrestling championship banners up there and that's sealing national titles down in Iowa City.

They had eight up above right now.

He got to his feet, but he didn't have hands controlled.

And Jackson was able to tap his arms and trip him back down.

He has 20 seconds to go to the end of the period now, Harris, He's got the arm, but he got his arm tied up again, a warning against Jackson this time or tying up again without any noticeable purpose what you thought was worthwhile.

That's Joe Gibbons.

You'd think he'd look a little happier after that, after the win.

Well, he's probably as good a team man as you'll find.

And he's a little despondent that his team isn't doing as well as he had hoped that they will be, Russell opined.

That's coming from behind and got out just at the end of the period 2 to 1 by Why?

Why Coach was getting ready, I'll tell you.

That's why he just yeah, you got to keep the pressure on and maybe some of the people you hear them saying, you got to keep the pressure on Heffernan and make him put his weight on his hands.

You can't hang back on him and let him get up.

That's what happened.

Heffernan will be in the up position now.

Let's see what he can do on time.

You're going to look at why the number one ranked man is number one when he stopped the first move and then he starts putting pressure toward the head.

I don't know where he feels his strength is, but if he can take a little bit out of his opponent now, he caught him almost toward his back.

Nobody tried to put pressure toward him, see if he can't breaking down and take away that bass.

And he did.

Oh, he's on the wrist now.

Jackson is, as we saw, a very good writer.

He's quite good on his feet.

He has a weakness in any one of those areas.

It's right here on the bottom.

Well, I think that we saw Heffernan has a problem there also.

But it's going to be now a battle of which man is going to fatigue.

The most, you know, from the action that they've had so far, 2 to 1 as the score, Jackson got a picked in the first period.

Heffernan an escape with almost nothing left in the period and that's where it stands.

We're in the second second stanza right now about 8:00, and he's got a lot of writing time for the score.

It really is 4 to 1 because highly unlikely now that Heffernan can get enough writing time to take that point away.

It's going to be on their feet from this point on.

So you can wrestle 7 minutes here so often comes down, but you don't want to get a lead and set on it.

When you ask anybody it, you know, both boys now just want to wrestle as if it's a brand new match at this point on Jackson in the Red Bull, Iowa State, seven down Heffron in the dark of the Iowa Hockey Hilton Coliseum.

And I think that right now is a single leg for Heffernan.

I wasn't out brothers once, Doug, where you don't want to get ahead and shoot.

Neither man wants to do it.

There's Jackson fighting back like he got me Buffalo for a double play for Jackson 5 to 1, trying to put the man on his back.

If he can go for point.

Well, he's got the leg tied up or he's got to lift the leg but he lifts the legs the back of go down.

He was trying to turn it back.

Now, Iowa state coaches wanting to let it happen and now it's 5 to 1 as the man's really going very aggressively right here.

They're just kind of tired to now.

This time Jackson will start up and now watch him in this position.

So snaps ahead, drops down right into a double, tries nothing that lifts it and that swings his hips out away so that he gets the two points and not quite a running back.

Well, there's a discussion at the official stable because the Iowa State coach has noticed that the writing time clock was running for Heffernan in that situation, that it should have gone the other way.

So tomorrow I will have a slight time out here.

You see Dan Gable not very happy about the way things are going here for his number one ranked wrestler.

I think he's a little disappointed in the effort.

That is, he seen so far.

But we still have a third period to go.

And this is where Larry Jackson has in the past suffered a letdown.

Occasionally, if he can make 2 minutes more here, he'll get it.

He's got right on time for sure.

And again, the pocket starts.

That's their objection is that the clock didn't start.

And I think what happened was they had the thing set at 3 minutes instead of two and they realized it.

So they're trying to punch the other button and see if they couldn't get it started.

And this gives athletes an opportunity to rest on the cover a little bit more.

They're trying to get that little bit of 8 to 10 second break and it gives them a chance to recover some.

So you're liable to see a match in the last 2 minutes Campbell.

And less Anderson and Harold Nichols all having a discussion with all of the people who watch the time try to set it.

They took off 5 seconds.

You hear the crowd at Hilton Coliseum trying to get Larry Jackson fired up to go against the Hawkeyes.

It's a 5 to 1 lead for Jackson.

Now.

What's holding us up?

Well, they're trying to get the writing time set back the way it should have been.

And Jackson was on top and they're trying to get the thing set back to reaching Jackson.

We'll start on top.

Boy has the match in hand right now.

It just has to wrestle his way on through it.

Not look at the score five one.

Not look at the score five one.

Just how did you get ahead?

Five one.

That's the hard Jackson Stop that move.

And I left with the hips and I have finished trying to turn to Jackson came back on the nitro and this of course is taking up a lot of time to happen.

And it needs not just one takedown or two.

He needs a little more than that.

A minute, 33 to go five the way ready to go.

There's a man who reacts off that whistle and lit a match by Jackson stays in control effort put away for good Jackson's done real fine job here staying with an outstanding athlete, please control the hips.

Well, I'm going to 13 to go.

It's 5 to 1 for Jackson.

Might just as well say 6 to 1 because of the riding timer, Dan Gable.

Nothing he can do about it now.

That's right.

I'm sure they'll go to work on this in the weeks in the head.

And when that national day comes up slowly, the slowly stand up Jackson put going down the ladder.

Take all he can stay there on that man attempts to get free and he moves up off the legislature stock and the last minute Jackson the driver shot Heffernan back and he pulling back which would be a tough kind of a tough job.

Now there's a warning against Jackson support or not effort.

That's much more than a warning.

That's an actual penalty, which makes it 5 to 2.

You hear the hometown boos.

He has them right there, don't you?

It's a three point lead for Jackson.

He has right time with 47 seconds to go, at least to keep the pressure on here.

Don't hang back now.

Jefferson very capable of being able to throw moves on this thing.

Well, I'll tell you right now, it's 5 to 3 and we are not over yet.

Well, it's with the writing time.

It's 6 to 3.

So he's got to go out, has to be a takedown through the back Iowa and Jackson just needs to keep on wrestling locked in and didn't quite get the double.

I would have secured it for it to happen and try to get under the ARC.

We have 17 seconds to go.

First crowd, double leg by halftime.

Not good enough.

Didn't finish up.

Jackson did a nice job dropping his head one second to go.

It looks like it's Jackson's back and no way around it.

Jackson over the number one ranked man, 6 to 3 for Iowa State it for the cyclones on the board for two straight wins And after £150 with a happy young man, they're being congratulated by his coaches for having wrestled three good periods.

It is now 12.

This is Jeff Gibbons.

Jeff is £126 wrestler who is one of nine freshmen trying to crack the starting lineup for the Iowa State Cyclones.

That in itself is not particularly noteworthy until you consider that Jeff is the brother of another cyclone wrestler who answers to the name of Joe.

And they have yet another brother named Jim who used to wrestle for Iowa State and is now an assistant coach for the Cyclones.

Rob the whistle.

I'm going to jam right up in here and I want Stuart to counter that, Jim, by putting all the weight of his body in his hands right here.

I want to try and get this guy to get his weight on his hands.

These are two ways.

By jamming or doing that spiral rotator, right?

Well, it's not like you're coaching your brothers anymore.

It's like you're coaching 30 brothers.

You've got other people on the team to worry about.

You've got a whole team.

And I know this is more than just one two people that you're worrying about.

You're worrying about putting on the best team that Iowa State can put out.

Our skills and our team have improved a lot.

I think we saw that in our first tournament.

We wrestled last week and I think the fans will see that throughout the course of the year that we are an improving team.

You know, you look at our team and you see four we recruited four junior national champions, but none of those guys at this point are our starters.

So that tells me that I should tell the people out there that our team has improved.

The team that we had last year in the room is improving as far as last year.

Yeah, it was it was a tough year because I had you know, I had wrestled really good at the beginning of the year and I felt I was really coming along good and where I should be.

And then all of a sudden over Christmas I hurt my knee.

I had it scoped on and then I was out for five weeks, you know, and naturally you're going to lose of your conditioning in that amount of time.

And then to come back and try to wrestle when you're trained, when you should be peaking, you know, trying to peak in that amount of time.

It was tough.

Everything came out pretty good.

But I liked it, you know, from the top.

I feel real good this year about winning the national title.

I feel I'm ready physically, mentally to do it all.

The biggest competition, our face around the country this year, I'll probably be signed across from you and I looks go from OSU.

Whoever I will puts out on the mat girl from Wisconsin, just to name a few.

They're the big ones right now in.

Spite of the usual freshman adjustments, Jeff also feels good about his progress this year that I feel there's a big difference from college wrestling, from high school.

It's more intense.

You know, the workouts are harder, plus college schooling is getting everything.

You know, everybody in the wrestling has the same type of goal.

So working for the same thing, I feel I've made a lot of improvement since the season started.

I don't know if I'm where I want to be.

I'd like to be better, but I'm satisfied with my progress so far.

Now he's got it crossed and the rest of us have to know how to forgive him.

He was very persistent there and felt the pressure.

I think that's the thing we all like to do, is we all like to win.

It's just a good feeling and winning something.

And and wrestling is not kind of a sport that you want to be mediocre at.

You're out there, you're putting a lot of effort into it.

And maybe physically we have the talent to do it, but there's something we want to win out.

I think that's the main thing with our streak I have in common.

We like to win Your statewide public television network.

We're back at Hilton Coliseum where Iowa leads Iowa State 12 to 6 after the 155 match.

We've had some good wins and we'll have five more yet to come.

We hope you're enjoying Iowa public television's third lead of, our ninth consecutive season of college wrestling coverage.

We're on weekly every Tuesday night at nine, and we'll have two more Saturday night special editions.

There's the schedule.

You see Oklahoma, Iowa State get in their east west meet and you and I will be with us.

So we'll Drake there's Oklahoma State and Iowa on February 16th and I asked you on Iowa those are our Saturday night mates that second Iowa and Iowa State duel.

Iowa 12.

Iowa State six After £150 at Hilton Coliseum, the cyclones are on a little bit of a roll.

They pulled off two in a row, chatting with Chuck Patton, the former coach at the University of Northern Iowa.

And there you see Jim Gibbons, an Iowa state assistant coach, sending debuted out to do battle against Bob Coffman of Iowa at £158.

With that win it and this substitute for Iowa you if you can get it going here Iowa State is going to be in this meet.

They figure they might have a chance at winning it at heavyweight and somewhere along the line they might pick up an upset.

This is a very important match for both teams right here.

It certainly is.

And the on your side, Kaufman from Iowa, you almost pitch him over right there in the red, debuting a senior from Fort Dodge, Iowa, not a heralded wrestler, but a fellow who came along with a lot of hard work.

But Coffman of Emmetsburg, Iowa, a junior for Iowa, gets the first takedown with a nice little duck under right there.

And then instead of going on through with a duck, he just turned it into a body like two to nothing.

COFFMAN And he makes the escape.

Gives the escape again.

Here's a wrestler who is going to try to win it on the feet and takedowns.

These boys are from close enough up there that it's not inconceivable they could have been high school competitors.

They have probably seen each other wrestle before, and it's 2 to 1 in favor of Kaufman in the black hole from the Iowa wrestler back to the center.

We have a minute.

56 to go, the first period, 2 to 1.

KAUFMAN He goes in and a high crotch move, gets the leg going.

Did a nice job of blocking him out.

He tried to come in to a body lock there, looked him up, but you ain't dropped his hips very nicely now.

You tried the high crotch.

Move that coming through with the with the arm couldn't make it.

Well, they've both been there now if they get there again, they just have to finish it.

That's the critical part.

They get into the man's body and then they don't continue on through and as a result, they don't score the points.

As they said many times, you have to believe you really have to believe when you go in there that you're going to go all the way through all the ideas that you technically are trying to wrestle an imaginary man behind the guy that you're after, because the guy you're actually going to be there by the time you get there.

We have a minute, 12 to go, a little tamer.

The crowd's quieted down just a little bit.

There's Mark Johnson, who is one of Dan Gable's assistants at Iowa.

He's going to come over.

You see that little blood on the face, Bob Kaufman, He got scratched.

So time out to clean it up.

You know how a trainer comes out out?

I think it's just a scratch on the eye, not a bloody nose to want to score Kaufman leads, but there's no about 12 left to go when there's blood.

They don't call injury time, but they know that just as soon let them get them patched up so that there's no further injury.

The idea is that you.

It's pretty hard to fake blood.

I guess that's the way to look at it, right?

Yes, that's that's a good idea.

Well, the crowd at Hilton College calmed down just a little bit after that.

Here we go.

Series of two matches.

Gibbons one for Iowa State at 142.

Jackson, another upset over the number one ranked Jim Heffernan at 150.

And it's Iowa 12 to 6, leading as we go into the upper five weights as they get locked up right here.

It's just kind of a strategy session.

Both men now are a little bit hesitant, a little cautious.

They just haven't opened up in you U.S. trying to snap Kaufman's head down, get some kind of an advantage that way, hasn't been able to do it.

A throw by Kaufman works it just cut him over the hips.

Well now it's 4 to 1.

You got him coming in and just used his hips pivot.

And underneath hits the arm actually just drives his hips.

A real nice hips as the arm sucks it on in.

And you did a nice job of rolling through that so it didn't get cut and his back.

Crawford is going to try to ride him a little while here, maybe build up some riding time, see how that goes.

There's a nice switch by Jung, but not to get back to his feet.

Didn't work, but he got himself started working hard on the bottom.

And he's out now.

There is a series of nice moves hit by the bottom in order to our favorite.

Of course, one of the works here.

One more.

We're near the end of the first period.

It's just kind of waiting this one out.

I think end of the period.

There's Keith Morillo, one other of the Iowa coaching staff, but they had Gable keep all up.

It was an outstanding wrestler coached four year old school in Iowa.

Yes it did happen on some international well on freestyle wrestler second period starts with Kaufman on top It's his opposition that's kind of the next he's got an arm tied up in there so now he has to make an attempt to take his opponent to the mat.

There's a nice switch again by you know, he's got him on that again.

Now, Kaufman has the leg and it takes his man on a bounce.

He got a little rowdy type of that.

Kaufman is now 46 seconds of riding time.

He leads by two here.

It's Iowa 12, Iowa State, six in the £158 match.

The match score is 4 to 2 in favor of Kaufman.

Now he's got the Cradle rock, but he just slipped over the top and let go of it.

Escape went for real Good.

Really good prospect of losing a point.

There's a nice reaction.

You get a real nice shot into the leg.

And Kaufman reacted nicely and punched out the other way.

Oh 43 is the score for Go.

So we're kind of in this position where the man with the lead, Kaufman from Iowa, is just kind of keeping the thing under control right?

Referee counts out loud.

Let them know that he thinks they better be active or he's going to call it morning.

I want both of them.

Ryan says Neither one of you are doing what you should be doing.

Inactivity.

That's the that's what there was this both boys.

It kind of slowed things down.

Remember, we have some outstanding wrestlers.

You have to come.

Goldman number one, ranked for Iowa at 190.

You see Darrell Peterson, who ranked number eight at heavyweight for Iowa State.

We have 29 seconds to go.

In the second period, things have slowed down a good deal here on their feet.

443 in favor of the Iowa wrestler.

KAUFMAN Well, well, they have slowed down a bit.

And I think that it's an intentional thing.

On Coffman's right there.

He hits it nice and deep, but he didn't finish it off.

Shut up.

How fast that.

Hey, 11 seconds to go.

Buick.

Sneak the peek over his shoulder at the Iowa State fair to see what they want it it's seems we want him to take the Iowa boy down they want him to get going on the offense.

But the end of the period comes before the match scores.

There is a national championship on a year ago for Iowa state at £126.

His name was Kevin Darcus.

Hey, he's from Pennsylvania.

That happened.

He and Mary Davis are very good rivals.

That's right.

Yeah.

Right away.

Iowa State and I went that way.

Now, the third grade starts with Ewing on top, trailing by 1.3.

One or two.

Three is the score.

It coaches Every time the coaches are trying to emphasize to you, don't worry about the clock, just win the match.

You know, he's kind of worried about writing time in there is none.

So They're trying to get him now.

You're your job right now is to win this thing and get a big hurt.

Yes, he did.

He made the ball on the whistle.

That time was five three.

Now he'll try to dig in underneath the arm.

He likes that where it gets re underhook.

So, you know, he wants to keep him out of that position.

That's where he wants to be right there.

Like under that.

So it's kind of a push and pushing but situation right there and this coaches are encouraging him get on the offense a two point lead for the Iowa wrestler came from another Iowa town.

I asked where he was a multi-time national champion high school champion.

That's one that's him.

One point has got to go back to who won here at some point.

Get in the car.

Oh, and that makes it 6 to 3 Now, Ewing's and by the way, he's got the leg.

He's got to nose finish and he could never win a shoe.

Take time out to put the shoe back on the Iowa State coaches cannot believe that it was that the penalty was given to the other half.

What that's lesson for red is not working for takedown was that right over on the edge?

Right over in the edge.

But we've both been moving in and out of that circle and he's been moving out more than Bob less Anderson, the assistant coach at Iowa State.

He still doesn't believe it now.

He doesn't wish I got out and he gets this.

Well, it's fine.

The wardrobe situation has been cleared up here.

Bob Kaufman, as you should know, now with a score of 6 to 3, we go to work with a minute left, as in keep on the leg.

But he's put his stop motion and he's got to be able to use it for more.

Now, at the point where we had a penalty point the other way.

All right.

Our takedown for tire for you and the crowd there, the signal, it might look like this.

He got it on the leg, but he hadn't finished it yet.

That's what's creating the problem.

Just a little bit more work right here and he can finish.

They just got to get him out of the crotch.

He has 25 seconds to go.

Got to get the head out of there.

Oh, boy.

Kaufman throws the move.

Still saved it with Wizard and Overlook for the man in black as protected.

And now we're going to call that move up.

I think the Iowa State wrestler has a cut now.

They if they now have scratches, an identical spot and they got it right here that Gable camp coaches man because it's not an injury time out and he's going to get his fellow in shape here for the last 30 seconds of this match 13 like no we can bet you eight from Iowa State will be after his 30 seconds.

He's going to have to be it's a two point match to take down the par.

What?

Look, wait for the whistle, gentlemen.

We admire your time.

5 seconds.

He's going to have to throw it.

He's going to have to throw it.

Can't do up here.

We got to get off of him.

That's a big one.

If Iowa State had a chance to come around and pull this one out somehow they needed that match.

That's right.

And they didn't get it.

It's six two for Hoffman over Ewing at £158.

And so three points go to the Hawkeyes.

It's 15 for Iowa and six for the Cyclones, £167.

We have a pair of freshmen here, Chuck back to do battle in this 15 to 6 heat.

Iowa leading Iowa state Solomon Carr in the red for Iowa State on the right is a brother of three time national champion Nate Carr.

He's a freshman.

And on the left in the blast is a three time state champion from Iowa named Royce Allison.

He's actually wrestling behind one of the Kessler brothers.

Both They're out.

They're both out, what, 58 167.

But he is really good crowd.

Yes.

He's waited his time and now he's getting a chance to wrestle because Kessler is hurt.

He's coming in one block off that shot came right back out move ensemble cast.

But Royce Alger against Solomon Carr.

Carr has some nice upper body moves he knows how to throw and he's willing to go ahead and take it.

Alger is more of a low level attack, but something went wrong right?

Hands up.

Carr got hit in the head.

I believe maybe dizzy spell or something.

It's hard to tell what's going on here, but he asked for time out.

I didn't say when he might have been able to incur that bang on the head.

The trainer and the assistant coach that give us a walk around, get some air so we don't know what happened there, where we go, my dog, let's go.

I think if Elder knows that Carr knows how to throw low level attacks for the upper body algebra, he knows one way to go straight ahead.

There it is.

Right.

A double settle for a single.

But Oliver and it just all got that two on one of his heart right now.

Welcome back.

Some offense out of it bothers him a lot by popper the have time show that battle Carr Morris some kind of physical problem but I don't know what it is there's cars brother his brother isn't liking it either.

We have a minute and a half to go in the first period.

There's no score, so you have to pull that arm out of there.

Now.

That's what opens him up to come back and hit this low level attack.

I know there are several alleged shots for what I haven't yet.

Carr had a number, but it doesn't make much sense now.

It's an attack by alcohol.

The car is one.

Somebody would get warned on that because one minute and then all the up and you just had to look at it.

So another car, brother Michael Carr who's 125 beautiful counter, came in alone when he tried to get back up out of the car to step past him.

I think that was a bit of a surprise.

There was he's not back on defense.

He's just taking off like Alger is out to one, putting a lot of pressure on Carr, even though he's behind, he's put a lot of pressure out by coming into an all time high regard him.

Oh, good, good, good double leg debut.

Oh, Oh, he came with a new pair.

He came right here.

He did it.

He had 25 seconds to go here and there.

It is the first goal of this match with 2 minutes and 40 seconds gone, it is rush hour.

The winner.

How about another look at that shot that really caught him in deep enough.

Just this step past it again.

Pick the hips, generate this look I blocks the knees with his knee, takes him right to his back gliding, take them right to the back and ends up with a fall and it's a fall team score now six points for Iowa.

That's 21 for the Hawks and six for the Cyclones.

Relax.

And away we go to £177 after a big fall for Royce out over Solomon Carr at a and a real turnaround there, a sudden shot at a 21 to 6 in favor of the Hawkeyes.

And here we are at 177 this will be an interesting one.

I'm looking for interesting things here because we have two boys who go out in all kinds of unusual ways.

Bob Gasman of Iowa State record of 24 of ten in the red and Rico Ceccarelli, a sophomore from Baltimore, Maryland, in the black for Iowa, who is a throwing wrestler to watch whether he wins or loses, he gets a lot of balls because it gives you something, you know, he'll give you a leg.

And then as you try to finish it off, he'll take it away from you by going down to his back and putting you on your back.

Now, that's Solomon Carr.

He was complaining of some kind of physical trouble there.

He got bumped in the hand or something in the first round.

Here is a pass and on the leg.

What?

He could turn into a touchdown.

I don't know.

This is where he likes to work.

It's very good.

He blocked that off and now he's in behind on the takedown and it's a take out for Kipper Elliott.

He's a very good cradle man.

He can leg and cradle very well.

So it's important for Gasper now to be able to keep his upper body up in the air and control hands.

These are both sophomores.

Chip Morelli has had a redshirt year.

Gassman wrestled his freshman year, and out comes Gasper makes it to the one where Gassman hit a real nice high crotch that time.

A good move going in low to the leg chip.

It really felt him coming.

It just dropped down.

They've got to take them, but be interesting to see who generates the offense, who ends up with the takedowns in this kind of.

We've seen Gasper another time this year at a match against the University of Wisconsin.

I recall his reaching the man with a high crotches, not being able to finish those either.

Here he's in again, deep into the leg, deep into lake.

Really early.

Come on out of the way.

It's definitely not Orthodox ends up on the take.

That was generally fishers in troubled waters like.

But that's a good way to say it.

He certainly does.

And he's very tough to get dinner even though it looks like he's not in control of things.

He's very tough in here on the pin position and that's when we'll need to make sure that he keeps his upper body up and has hand control.

And he obviously has very strong legs.

He makes use of the legs for leverage in maybe unusual ways, where the last bit of the first period is 4 to 1 in favor of the Hawk-Eye chip rally over Bob Gasper.

He's got this out just released in order to the Bobcats.

This from Downers Grove, Illinois, where he was a high school champion his senior year at £185.

Last year, he wrestled some at 70 at 67, I think.

So obviously, he was pulling a lot of weight in high school.

He has to be able to penetrate his news in that time and change the angle on Chip O'Reilly.

Otherwise, you'll get that unusual type of technique, the timing.

If he drops perfect, this is where you to watch out.

It's not so strange to say that when a man gets out who he wants to make, but that's what he has to watch out.

But it is true.

Chip really likes that course Chip really hit.

It will be a cracker and a good one.

His writing was very deep on that went right through his opponent.

And at 6 to 2 three in favor of Chip the first period, the Cyclones won two matches at 142 of 154.

Harold Nichols there, who is wrapping it up after 37 years.

Look at those, how he wins over the seasons.

Now, Bob.

But the Hawks have managed to win all the rest.

And the last one was a fall of 6.1 for the team by Royce Alger.

He gets his escape.

But this is kind of Schipper his plan, build up the points, get him a little fatigue, then go after that pin, 6 to 3.

There's the score in favor of chip rallies at three takedowns, a Gasol, three escapes, two pointers, trading for one point.

If Gassman has the offense to generate, he penetrates very well low into the leg, but he just doesn't finish it as well as he could.

This doesn't go on and and make the score.

We have a minute and a half to go in the second period.

Now those long arms Chip Riley was reaching out for the big slip, reached up for a heel pick Gassman had good balance goes into high traffic and now this is one on the other side of the pitch.

Look at that problem right here.

Even though it doesn't look like it got himself a nice move by the time Gasol came out, he is only behind by a point now.

Gasol built his confidence a little bit without a roll by chip around in his seven five in favor of the Hawkeyes.

And then again on that high track practice, Gaston Can he finish it?

No, that's what we mean by Rico being dangerous.

Well, he's got a nice, nice elevation with that leg real good.

A lot of people missed what goes on right there.

But look like Gassman just flew around sideways because Chip Morelli from Iowa used his length to lift it, and I guess he got through.

Boy, that's tough, very powerful.

When he gets into those kind of situations.

Let's take down some ruffles and a crowd pleasing kind of fashion very loose that they're going to take those pearl necklaces upset because he he didn't like the position of the in the take down there.

I thought it was in space should have been disallowed.

Well, Gassman had zipper his leg picked up and then chip Morelli reached down to cash, spins away and pulled what he thought pulled the heel outside.

That 9 to 5 is the score.

The Hawk-Eye and Black lead.

We have 10 seconds to go.

In the second period, he just was warned for stalling on top.

So he's going to have to get himself going here.

End of the period 9 to 5 generally leads his team leads 21 to 6.

So he's got he reached down and picked the leg himself.

Now he tries to sweep the leg with his and drop single down for the point that looked like it hurts.

Gasol starts the third period on top, but he can't hold temporarily.

It's 10 to 5 down.

Favorite of what was a nice wing.

He just cut down on the arm that was underneath his elbow, elevated with the leg rolled on out of it, which is not really surprising.

Gassman doesn't like to wrestle much our top.

Now he's just going to let him go anyway.

If he can break five point lead for Iowa in this match and a 15 point lead in the lead.

Matter of fact, Iowa cannot.

Iowa can wrap things up if they win this match because the cyclones have to win all three for Hart, maybe the youngest fan in the house, maybe there's a nice deep penetrating shot Again, it turned a little bit and then he steps back across for his takedown 12 to 505 12 252.

Pirelli Gassman is asking for help with his need to see how deep is, and then he swings his hips on over top of Gaston's hips.

That's what made that that work.

He got in deep, dropped the hips down that came across the other man's hips a minute, 6 seconds to go.

That's down.

Gable talking with Rico Chip Morelli and reminding him that he has a minute to go.

Well, it was right time.

He's actually has an eight point lead, and I'm sure his coach is going to try to get him to get 12.

Well, this is one of the matches where Iowa State, I think, believed their man had enough offensive firepower that he could score against Chip Reilly.

Well, he's been there.

You know, he's been into the legs.

Look at all those ranked wrestlers for Iowa.

Whatever.

One of them won't be ranked at first anymore.

And and after that loss, Marty Kessler, you didn't see Lindsey Kissel, you didn't see they're both injured.

It's been a saw week or two for the Kessler brothers, but they didn't really miss some of the Ross and Rice out there.

167 for Lilly Kessler he scored a fall over saw the car here a few minutes ago and 2 minutes and 40 seconds to put his team up at gas but still isn't ready to go.

He came back to the start of the match and that started it.

He stopped.

He has a cramp, he says.

Referee Westy clocked the start.

Gaslit Downers Grove, Illinois Very intelligent young man.

He's a good student.

He's put himself in some real tough spots by starting out as a freshman, wrestling real tough competition.

Sometimes that creates just a little bit of a mental attitude.

You he drops that down on hit and I watch him step up over the other him.

That's what makes okay Gassman starts down as we go back to live action here said Iowa Man on top and Iowa State, the man on the bottom gasping.

Try to come quickly, but really wanted off for a while.

Two points for Gasper back down and it's 12 to 7.

Well, as you indicated, Chip Reilly's willing to fish in some troubled waters and he's willing to give things up in order to try to get what he wants.

If he gets what he wants, you're on your back.

That's right.

He's.

He's dangerous in the down position, just as he is from the top position.

He's got some things here that are that are very effective, that just don't always appear to be something that works.

Gasol almost tipped Chip early up for some near-fall points, but he couldn't hold it in the position.

Well, you saw that roll and he's been doing that a couple of times.

That's dangerous to stay in around his waist.

Okay, 12 to 740 seconds to go.

It is fun to watch his legs legs in situations like that.

The heart, Procter Gamble, good offense.

He's in trouble right here, though.

He got to the Lakers early, got into possession.

Oh, yeah.

And two points for him Tech on his call It makes it 14 to 7.

He's had several takedowns on countermoves tonight.

We have 15 seconds to go.

15 to 17 score 15 to 758.

Oh, after the escape, he's in an elegant touch.

Nicely done it.

17 to 8.

Yes, he gave it the two point takedown.

Ended up taking down 17 to 8 in favor of Chip O'Reilly of Iowa, Rico.

We'll be around for a couple more years to roll Gasol five.

There it is.

They didn't get in that last three point takedown, but they did not catch right now they just did well I guess incorporate well let's see 17 date and with the writing time that makes it 18 to 8.

It's a major decision, a four point addition to the Iowa team total 88 in favor of chip rally and four Hawkeyes 25 the Cyclones, six.

We have two matches to go at Iowa State University.

No coliseum between the Hawkeyes and the Cyclones Hawkeyes ranked number one.

They will hold that ranking tonight.

They lead 25 to 6.

They can't lose.

Goldman is ranked number one at £190 in the United States.

He's finished twice in the Nationals in second place.

He thinks this is his year, the whip.

And he's out against Iowa State junior John Hierapolis.

Well, Goldman is a very good head double man and you'll see him just reach up with his hand and tap on the head and then step right on through his opponent.

Does that very effectively seem just pop on the head and all of a sudden, instead of pop in and grab it, he just pops and comes, he's up.

It's a great takedown.

Same.

He sets you up by just reaching out on your head.

You never know when he's going to go.

You may not see him do it early, but that's his bread and butter.

He's got it pulled down out of position now.

So help us some Iowa State has to get out of this, has to improve this.

Here he comes.

Here comes a lot of come around and Harrop Ellis is managing to block him off with the arm stalemate level to see that level.

So now they're up to six it instead.

But he has to finish it again.

He has to get up off his knees, pull something out of it.

Well, he's got Goldman has a lot of pressure down on his head.

With the other hand, you don't see how he's pushing his head down, can't get up, and he's got that head down and he's just using that to block him out.

So Jeffrey heard him say his position is a little dangerous and he's going to call it stalemate much more quickly that Barry Davis on the right, he won tonight at £126.

What he won tonight, an impressive victory over fourth rate of John Thorn.

John Hierapolis, you wrestled a couple of years at Slippery Rock State, Pennsylvania, then decided he want to go to a Division one school to Iowa State.

He's made some offense here.

He just hasn't finished Goldman's in behind this needs to pull at arm.

He got the two point takedown and he blocked off that double leg try by Hierapolis, turned it into his arm to he did it with about a minute and a half to go at the first period.

It wouldn't surprise me.

See, back up there it is 2 to 1.

That's Steve Wilber.

He's the heavyweight for Iowa.

And he'll wrestle next against 355 Darrell Peterson of Iowa of Iowa State, who's ranked eighth in the country, has had a really a very good year.

He's improved a lot this year.

You're going to see Goldman start to get the offense here.

He's got it, got The thing set up now, I would imagine you're going to see him start to pop on the head and then go to his offense.

So far, Hierapolis has done all the offensive and he's been countered by Goldman stalemate.

Again, with 27 seconds left to go to the line, propolis popped with an answer.

That's right.

He's down the going so far in the way and Goldman ranked number one Colorado as a warning to Roethlisberger lock it with a head and they want your head up out of there like you see both athletes now their heads up and over the back.

That way you're not blocking out either.

Man can affect the offense.

The first period comes to an end with a 2 to 1 score in favor of that man.

GOLDMAN Going down strong, it looks awfully strong.

You can see Goldman turn to his coach and take his thumb and put it up in the air and ask his coach, Do you want me to let him up?

And he does.

It's two two.

Oh, ah, Apple has really made a shot that work and made the shot stop.

But then Goldman started to come back on.

Now it was going to be stopped here.

Is this going to be a penalty or a warning?

Oh, we've had a little hard blood.

I think, tonight than usual.

I think they're going to have to stop a nosebleed for Hierapolis.

Just a third.

He came to Iowa State just this year to start his career.

After a redshirt year, he had to stay out.

He was two years a National Collegiate Athletic Association tournament qualifier.

Wow, that's Slippery Rock.

They've got to stop up the nose with that piece of cotton and let this go.

What?

It's 25 to 6.

The Hawks lead over the Cyclones after 177 fouls.

There was a time right there and a little chuckling cyclones might have been able to turn it around a little bit.

They had the momentum going and I think they had the chance.

Up comes Goldman, with a single leg from the outside and it's a two pointer takedown.

He's put he's putting pressure on right now, but it's not with the effort to turn it to his back, just making him work to get to his feet, which would probably let him go if he ever gets up there.

Goldman has not benefit.

He's not going to betray his first two years in school of wrestling.

He wrestled a lot of matches.

You had only two fans, one each year.

Yeah, he's just staying on top.

Didn't make any more for what he's going to get.

Not really trying to affect their fall situation.

He has, I think, go 73 matches in his first two years and he had two falls.

He only lost eight one last year all together.

That was the national championship match.

He lost to one of the share brothers from Nebraska.

No, I just intentionally let him go for two three really.

He continues to do what he wants to do throughout the match price cut on the head.

Then he started off and got a variety of things.

He does not look pretty, but it just is so effective because he's so tough and tenacious that only keeps a front headlock there, dominates his man.

It's people getting a little silly in the crowd, but you get up to about £190.

I guess nosebleed is worse.

So now we'll turn to other forms of entertainment here for a second.

And he thinks it's New Year's.

I don't know if maybe his birthday.

That's John Hierapolis, the Iowa state trainer.

Earlier on.

We had a terrific match at 118.

As we say, the Cyclones had their chances here bad.

Excellent was favored over freshman Dan Higgins, but he had to get a takedown in the last few seconds, the last half minute to win 9 to 8.

Barry Davis won as expected.

It was a superior decision over John Thorn and Greg Randall won big, but Iowa State began to move after that.

They won two straight matches but couldn't win a third leg as they returned to action at £180, he has Goldman's leg up and the referee takes it away.

Doesn't like the way that he is back outside.

He all starts to come outside the thigh.

Then they start to look it for ten.

Oh, I'll tell you, Annapolis has one terrific nosebleed now.

I mean, it's everywhere.

The blood is all over the place.

If you're squeamish, you better look at the ceiling for a while.

Maybe.

Maybe your man is there waiting to see how he gets in on the leg.

He sinks down.

Now when the heel starts to come outside the thigh, that's what they're looking for.

When he's down in such a position, all I can do is pick it up and pull the heel outside.

And that's what tears knees apart.

And it isn't that he's intentionally trying to do that just where he has a hold of the leg.

So the man's going to have to go or his knees are going to get torn up and that's why the referee broke it.

He's intentionally, I think, in his position, looking for potential dangerous and that that's what that is.

They're mopping up.

They have to mop up Goldman, too.

He had he got sprayed a little bit and that was played by the man in red, the Iowa State wrestler John Annapolis.

The here is 4 to 3.

It isn't all that much of a score yet.

Miraculous is still in this match.

Very much so that's the key generating his offense.

Boy, he really can't tell you he has such a nosebleed.

Let's go Don't go start.

Just relax here and ask it.

His trainer.

You got to stop this.

Well, I can understand it.

Go ahead.

So this may take a little longer.

There are the rankings.

You see what Iowa and Iowa State stand there.

The Hawkeyes have been up at the top all year.

They deserve to be.

They beaten Oklahoma.

They wrestle Oklahoma State later.

Iowa State has had either of the Oklahoma schools yet Arizona ranks fifth, Wisconsin, seventh Truman, old northern Iowa there.

That's nice of them.

That's your old school.

Chuck Patton was the head coach at the University of Northern Iowa for, what, 18 years?

Believe they got off to a little slow start, but those rankings were probably readjusted fairly soon because Wisconsin just beat Iowa State last week.

And there's level to be a change here.

And there we are.

It's that coliseum with 27 seconds left to go in the £190 match.

Second period of the Iowa wrestler Goldman leads by one.

He makes a shot, try to snap down, come around, looks like he's going to score.

He did go with another takedown.

He has a real good body, very powerful.

He uses his like in those kind of situations.

A lot more blood out there, dug up even more.

Second period has come to an end.

We're going to until that stops, we're going to be doing this every few seconds.

It gets in on the leg.

Now he gets countered, propolis, comes back and catches an arm.

Then he just pulls him to his knees and starts to spin that pulls that arm out in order to score his takedown.

It doesn't look very pretty, and a lot of coaches don't want to coach it.

But the truth of it is you can get it anyway, that you can get after it.

And he's using just fairly fundamental basic type of wrestling to build this lead 6 to 3 now.

Hierapolis is down on his back again.

The Iowa state coaches are trying to stem this flow of blood.

Those are the results in the Midwest tournament, which is a tournament running for the last couple of years at Iowa State University Coliseum.

Some of the big teams have been here and Oklahoma State won it this year, a good showing by the cyclones, However, as we said, the big news of the past week in wrestling is that Harold Nichols of Iowa State has announced that at the end of the season he's going to hang it up after.

All that success and it leaves a first rate job open for somebody.

There's a lot of speculation on who could take over and less.

Anderson has been mentioned.

He's the assistant there next to him.

Might be fun to follow.

So, yes, it will crackle.

It starts on top.

It was the lead in all three.

He just building up slowly.

Goldman from Iowa, just gradually getting to his feet or trying to drop Thompson down.

Now he's got the legs.

And it'll be interesting to see how Goldman reacts to this get more than referee's counting on a reason to call it a stalemate unless something happens.

And he does call it a stalemate, Apple doesn't really need the writing time.

That's not what's going to win for it.

I definitely is going to have to turn his opponent over 33. lead for Goldman.

The man on the bottom, His team leads 25 to 6.

Now it's 7 to 3 after the escape by Goldman.

When he gets in this position, he puts a lot of pressure into you, makes you try to pull out in order to get free.

And that's when he scores gets into a double hook.

Now, instead of just a single say one thing here.

Apple is successful here in one respect.

I don't think you're supposed to start it again.

Well, he's kept Goldman off him.

He's kept Goldman from doing what he wanted.

What Goldman wants to do that's cut that head and double so far for Apple.

He's done a lot of the shots, but he's got caught right here a couple of times, was pulled out away from his face, and then Goldman spun in behind him, as you say, it's not really very funny, but it is one of the successful tools of doing GOLDMAN It could be a successful tool of any young athlete that would use it.

There's Peterson, the big heavyweight three Iowa State left.

Yeah, that was unusual.

That's the one where it just you never know when he's coming in.

If you get crowd rocking back when he's coming in, lose that thing a low single.

He just slapped the man then went after it time to for in favor of Goldman a shot by Hierapolis this is going to be counter Goldman has the leg but not well enough.

He has to go back to the tie up.

But that's the end of the match at a workmanlike job, wins it 9 to 4 over John Hierapolis of Iowa State.

And it's a three point team scar addition for that Hawkeye.

And there's the team score 28 to 6 in favor of I'll heavyweight sometimes you see an Iowa Iowa state meets some interesting things happen at heavyweight over the years there have been some big upsets here that have turned things around.

There have been unusual finishes.

The you're the Iowa state heavyweight was disqualified for stalling and a critical situation allowed Iowa to tie a beat that the Cyclones thought they would win.

And this is Darrell Petersen of Iowa State.

On the right again, Steve Wilber of Iowa was much smaller in the play.

There's a lot of mass difference here, and that could cause some problems for a later man because of how he wrestles.

And Wilber has some real good offensive tools.

You got to remember, he's done a lot of working with guys like Advantech and Lou Banach Olympic champions.

So he knows how to wrestle men that are agile.

But when you start to wrestle somebody giving away a hundred, £125, you have to change your style a little bit, wrestling a little different o clock with do head No.

The number one ranked hawks have wrapped this one up against Iowa State, but we're getting a chance to look at Darrell Petersen in red, who is eighth ranked in the country, much improved, perhaps the most improved wrestler on this Iowa State team.

He's very effective on his feet.

If he gets under your arms, he's really good.

If he can get under you and start to make you come out.

Oh, they've used a minute, a lot of sparring, and neither man is going to go in underneath on the conventional leg type of attacks.

So they do a lot of push and pull and sparring.

What they're doing basically is trying to see what will the man be available for later when he gets tired?

What can I do to him when he gets tired?

Well, certainly I would not expect a smaller man, Wilbur, to go under the the mass of Peterson for a leg shot unless it was practically a gimmick.

We'll just warn both athletes for stalling.

So in a position now that if somebody doesn't do something the other one will get called 28 to 6 as a team.

Score Iowa over Iowa State, The Cyclones one two matches, 142 and 150.

Joe Gibbons at Larry Jackson Jackson's was an upset over the number one ranked bear from Iowa.

Jimmy Heffernan stalemate again we have a little bit of six to go.

You got a quick look again.

It's a fun day for us.

Mark Johnson, Dan Gable, the other one out, you know, they get in that position.

This is where somebody has a chance to affect a throw, but chances are they're not going to throw by driving their hips under.

They're going to do more something like foot sweep to block a leg and turn the men around.

It.

Peterson has made a couple of breaches here as if he would like to come down and pick up a leg.

I don't expect to see him again, leave his feet, go diving for that shot off.

I don't think so.

Tough spot now where he's probably going to try to wrestle to see who can win on the scoreline, who can win on the guy that gets knocked out on the mat.

He has that position in the top 14 seconds to go.

It's difficult to call these kind of matches because neither athlete's going to take that unnecessary chance Now when they're still five, four or 5 minutes to go, does the referee take that into consideration or as you call stall and you have to have the same as does anybody else?

Most of the time they take it into consideration because they know big men don't go.

Whose choice?

It's Wilbur's choice.

He says he wants to try up and Peterson will go down.

It's important here to see how much riding Wilbur can do.

I come back with a big man.

These wrestlers met last year in the dual meet at Peterson, 1.5 to 1.

He's got a lot of size and he was quick right there.

Popped up with a nice guy, reacted quickly on the whistle, got himself up out of it.

And that's the first score of the match, one that I think in favor of.

PETERSON Now we're back on our feet again.

It's always a doubt if somebody can dominate on the feet.

Nobody's established kind of mastery up here at all.

I don't think either man has made more than just a halfhearted effort, haven't really jeopardized themselves.

That's what you have to do.

But you can't look at it as being in jeopardy.

What you have to do is look at it as I'm going to go as hard as I can.

There, fly by.

Wilbur has to stay on his feet because that big man, I think this competing that's there it was.

It was he did jeopardize himself.

The big man countered nicely.

I was going to say, Jackie, but consider it an investment I was going to say, Jackie, but consider it an investment at best this much to try and get something out of it.

That one soured on the market.

A bad three to nothing.

They almost killed Ronaldo.

He's got to build his base up right now.

Peterson's putting a lot of weight on him, but the ban on the bonds, not to get his knees underneath him.

Now to be able to affect the offense now.

Peterson, when he was a junior college wrestler, he was a national junior college champion one year a second the year before, scored something like 48 calls in two years.

He has been a pitcher and he's trying to bring Wilbur's head up his leg at cradle him.

It's a lot of weight up there.

Yes, that's very difficult to know that the thing in that cradle is you block the leg, get out in front, drive the head back to the leg.

No, but you have to be up front or do that.

You can't just sit back there.

I believe the referee.

Excellent.

Just gave Peterson a point.

He believes that Wilbur was not active enough on the bottom.

So Wilbur went in the leg, his peers took his legs back, just really physically powered him out of there to score the takedowns.

All right.

Pressure Peterson starts on top.

That's a caution.

Set your hands and stay still mounting.

And that's a caution against the top man for being too active on time too early.

Oh, I got to hear that side down.

That's one that's a point against him.

What I want.

They stopped him on the whistle and then he can put his weight on.

That's the critical part.

Just as long as Wilbur can build up like he's doing right now, he has a chance there and he's out all the time over.

And now Peterson still is in control, pretty much because he has a 4 to 2 lead in some writing time that but not a lot of writing time.

If Wilbur could score a takedown fairly soon, he might be able to ride Peterson long enough to make it up.

But again, Wilbur's going to have to take a little chance.

28 to 6 Iowa lead to the team score of a heavyweight match, and we have a score of 4 to 2 in favor of the man and read Peterson a big man, £350 heavyweight for the Cyclones.

Yeah.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Damn, Gable.

Think his man knows what he has to do with whether he has enough courage to go ahead, do it, and he has to do it now within the 30 seconds series, not going to be able to have enough time to increase Peterson's writing time.

Well, there's a point.

Each way.

The referee says neither one of you are working 5 to 3 years to score.

Now, Wilbur is penalized twice, and the next time it would be two points.

Peterson has only once.

He has had half a headlock.

Now he'll try to pull it down away from his knees.

Then he can come back.

Look, we have 28 seconds to go, a two point lead for Peterson, but he does have riding time.

Oh, so it's a it really is a virtual three point lead now.

We can't win it up there.

He's going to have to make the offensive effort that he did and finish it straight in Better finish.

And it's Peterson number two.

And so with a cyclone, this is when the heavyweight match.

It was their third win of the night.

Peterson Eight and Wilbur three.

And so at the end of the night, it's the Iowa Hawkeyes 28 and the Iowa State Cyclones nine nine.

Well, at Chuck Patton, that turned out to be a pretty good lead after all, because Iowa State did have its chances early and in the middle.

Well, they take that 118 weight class where they had that lead.

They win.

That one puts them in a little different position, loses them as well.

So it was, I think, a good made for the cyclones.

They wrestled very hard they had plenty of chances in the middle two after they want to Gibbons and Jackson they went at 158 it debut in against Bob Kaufman and it was a close match.

Kaufman won at 64 and then it was out of reach after Royce Alger at 167 pinned.

Solomon Carr was the only fall of the night and 2 minutes and 40 seconds, Alger from Lisburn, Iowa, made it a big win for the Hawks.

And finally the Hawks wrapped it up with wins by Rico Chip Reilly and Duane Goldman at 177 at 190.

They also got a win from Barry Davis at 126.

It was a superior decision and impressive win over John Thornton, you think, Chuck?

Well, he wrestled so hard on his feet, it really took Thorne's opportunities to be effective because he's good on top.

But by the time he had a chance to be in the top position, he was really in a lot of trouble because Davis had taken him down so much.

Well, once again, the final score here at Hilton Coliseum is Iowa 28 and Iowa State 29.

College wrestling will not be seen next Tuesday, so that Iowa Public Television can bring you live coverage of the US all star hockey game from Mason City at 7 p.m. We'll be back the following Tuesday at 9:00 pm.
