Iowa State NCAA mat champion By BETTY HOPPER Associated Press Sports Writer SEATTLE (AP)-They came, they saw, they conquered and the Iowa State Cyclones were home today with their second straight National Collegiate Athletic Association wrestling championship. But the Cyclones got an assist from little Clarion State in turning back the strong challenge ot the Oregon State Beavers.

The Beavers' chances of becoming the first school west of the Rockies to win the title were slim but not impossible going into Saturday's finals. They were killed when Clarion State's Wade Schalles defeated OSU'S Mike R.

The first venture into collegiate competition came in 1970 when the team attended IheNorthwest Regional A League Tournament. UA lost three'quick games as the i mismatched against the large state universities of Washington, Oregon and others. This year's trip found the UA girls competing with schools more of their caliber, although most had enrollments larger than UA.

"I can't figure out why so many people would come to a hockey game on a Sunday morning--unless they thought this building was a church," Hank Ives, public relations director of the Los Angeles Sharks, said after an unexpected throng of 12,804 fans elbowed their way into the Sports Arena. In Sunday's other games it was Houston 4, Philadelphia Quebec 6, New York Cleveland 11, Winnipeg 2, and Minnesota 2, Alberta 1. On Saturday it was New York 3, Winnipeg 2 in overtime; Alberta 5, Chicago 4, and New England 3, Minnesota 1. The Sharks outshot Ottawa 33-22 en route to their victory-quite a turnaround from their game last Wednesday, when the Sharks outgunned Houston 48-20 and still managed to lose to the Aeros 2-1 in overtime.

regional honors, have a rough road and must pay their ownway to enter the competition. Just as the team in 1970 had, this year the girls began months in advance of the trip raising funds with projects to earn the amount needed. Among the projects which led to the trip were the concession stand operation in the Patty Building gym, Blue and Gold Club memberships and other drawings or con tribut ions. The girts, all from Alaska, were also successful in getting iridividual sponsorships. Among them were Matanuska Maid of a i sponsoring Linda Moffitt; White's Crossing in Willow sponsoring Bernardette Huston; Charlie's Green House of Fairbanks sponsoring Linda Dolney; the Bethel Lions Club sponsoring Linda Rowe; the Fairbanks Native Association sponsoring Annabelle Towarak; a a Gilson's Merchantile and Copper Valley Electric Association of Valdez sponsoringSue Moore.

As a College Division entrant, it is not eligible for team points. "This was a team effort all the way," said Clarion State's Bill Simpson, who won the 167- pound championship.

Iowa State was led by Chris Taylor, the 6-foot-5, 420-pound Olympic bronze medalist who never has lost a collegiate match, and Rich Binek, winner of the 177-pound title. Taylor pinned all five of his opponents to take the fall award with a combined time of 13 minutes 52 seconds. Oregon State's undefeated Greg Strobel won the 190-pound championship and was named the meet's outstanding wrestler. The Beavers also had four place winners. Iowa State finished with 85 points and Oregon State had 72V4.

Michigan, with one cham- pion and four placers, was third with 5914 points, followed by Brigham Young with CV4 and Oklahoma State with 42. The other champions were Iowa's Dan Sherman, 118 -pound class; Mark Massery, Northwestern, IX; Don Rohn of Clarion State, 131; Navy's Dan Muthler, 142; and Jarrett Hubbard of Michigan, 150. Only Hubbard, Schalles, Strobel and Taylor had been top- seeded in their division. All the other champions had been seeded with Rohn, a freshman eligible only the second half of the season, working his way up from a No. 8 ranking.

Simpson, the third Clarion State wrestler to compete in the finals said he thought, "If a freshman can do it then, by Baseball preview God, I'd better pull through." The most aggressive matches of the finals were Strobel's come-from-behind 11-7 victory over unseeded Johnny Johnson of Northern Illinois, who hurt a shoulder in the bout, and Sherman's decision over Spunky Tom Phillips of Oregon State, whose nose was broken badly in his first bout Thursday. "I knew I could come back," Strobel, who trailed 6-2 early in the second period. "I'm luck that he wasn't a really good pinner, if he was I would have really been in trouble." Phillips took a 2-0 lead on a take down but a Sherman es- and a takedown gave the fowan a 3-2 lead at the end of the first period and he went on to win 10-5. Taylor's pin of Oregon State's Jim Hagen in the finals was the first in their three meetings. After a scoreless first period, Taylor won the flip, took the top position and pinned the Oregonian at 4:19.

Hagen had lost a 3-0 decision to Taylor earlier this year and a 7-2 decision last year. "He's quite a competitor," Taylor said of Hagen. "It was one of the better nationals I've been In." Two defending champions failed to make the finals. Michigan State's Tom Milkovich, the 142-pound king, was hurt in the semifinals and Washington's 177-pound Bill Murdock lost his first match. Burnside, Kidner tied for over-all point lead Royals face '73 campaign with entirely new outlook Chuck Benson posted an easy first over-all win at the Fairbanks Sports Car Club's "Never On Sunday Autocrosse" held Sunday on the Lakeview gravel pit ice track.

Benson, running on a track that was slower than usual because of snow, turned a 2:08 lap, considerably off his usual pace, but enough to win by a comfortable near-four second margin over second-place finisher DougBurnside. The class IV competition, usually the closest racing of the day, was lacking this week. Burnside, driving a Porsche, and Ron Kidner in a Datsun 240-Z, always run within a few tenths of a second of each other, but this week Kidner had an injured hand, and was unable to compete seriously, running only for start-finish points.

(AP) The Kansas City Royals face a new baseball season with a new manager, a new stadium, new uniforms, some new players and a new philosophy.

The new manager is Jack McKeon, plucked from the Royals' Omaha farm club to succeed the fired Bob Lemon. To McKeon, the most important of all the Royals' newness is the philosophy, although new pitcher Wayne Simpson, third baseman-outfielder Hal McRae and some raw rookies may be big factors in just how successful Kansas City will be with its new philosophy. McKeon wasted no time once the threat of a baseball strike was resolved letting his philosophy be known. "I want us. to be known around the American League as 'Those guys from Kansas City-that smart ball club." To achieve that end, McKeon is pounding fundamentals into his spring training squad, including such veterans as pitchers Paul Splittorff and Bruce Dan Canton, shortstop Fred Patek, first baseman John Mayberry, center fielder Amos Otis, catcher Jerry May and left field Lou Piniella.

The Royals, who finished fourth in the AL West a year ago, hope to go all the way this season. McKeon isn't making a flat prediction that Kansas City can beat out the world champion Oakland A's but he has injected a new enthusiasm into a team that at times in the past displayed signs of being capable of taking charge in the West. Patek, at 5-fooM the smallest guy in the majors, could be the key to the Royals' success or failure. He came to camp weighing 20 pounds more than his 140 in 1972. Patek got off to a bad psychological start last season and it lasted most of the campaign.

When he played, the Royals thought he was the best shortstop in the league. Often, he didn't play. The Royals almost had to push him into actions at times. Patek, a base stealing artist, says things are different this year. For the last two years, Patek had led AL shortstops in double plays with 101 in 1971 and 113 in 1972.

He definitely must come through if the Royals hope to win. The Royals have some problems but apparently Patek isn't one of them. The major ones are pitching, third base and center fielder Otis. McKeon has two solid starters for pitching duty, Dick Drago, 12-17 last year, and Splittorff, 12-12. Drago lost five games in which the Royals were shut out.

i obtained with McRae from Cincinnati, undoubtedly will be in the starting rotation. He says he has fully recovered from the shoulder problems which plagued him the last two years after he started the 1950 season by winning 13 and losing one as a rookie. The fourth starter could be Steve Busby, who won three of his first four starts after being brought up from Omaha near the close of the 1972 season. The bullpen, which faltered so often last year, again is questionable although the outlook has improved. The Royals are banking heavily on Ken Wright.
