I was 12 when this happened. People today have no idea what it was like to get information back then. No internet, no espn etc. I would find out the results the following YEAR when my dad would bring home his copy of the NCAA rulebook and I would go theough it front to back because it had college results and also high school champions every year. My brother and I got to see Chris Taylor wrestle at the Naval Academy that year and got pictures with him. Scary! Had the good fortune of my son being coached by Schalles 7 or so years ago in Northern Virginia. Great times

I hear you! I remember reading about the Gable/Owings match from a wrestling book I bought. I never imagined being able to see the match.

I don’t know if anyone else caught the one inaccuracy there…but it actually wasn’t Schalles that won the award for most pins in the least amount of time, it was actually John Panning of Minnesota that won the award. Both had 4 pins, but Panning pinned them in less time. Just saying 😉👍🏼

OK, the audio is clearly added to the video later. The announcer describes what is happening before it has happened.

I love Wade Schalles's imagination, balance, guts, and intelligence. I consider him one of the greatest NCAA wrestlers of all time. I wish he was my coach when I started wrestling.

He was my coach personally, and I tell ya the man was just as good of a mentor and a teacher as he was a wrestler himself. His son enrolled in the Naval Academy and that brought him and his Eaglehawk Academy to my area. His passion, kindness, and ability to inspire were always fantastic. The man taught wrestling like it was chess, and knew how to make a steel-tough wrestler howl like an infant in pain without causing any lasting injury. Taking him down was like trying to crush a bar of soap with your foot in the shower, it was the strangest sensation I've ever personally experienced. He demonstrated five spladle variants I remember, one was on a darned high crotch if you can believe it. It was a spladle that worked with the opponents head on the BACK of your kidney rather than the front and he just kinda cartwheeled while falling and it just worked. Nobody else was able to get it though haha he said he was still "working on that one." Man those were excellent times.

Any chance that you have any footage from the 1974 NCAA championships? I'd love to see Shorty Hitchcock of Bloomsburg winning his title that year.

I guess you both can be right at the same time. Owings was a very unorthodox and thrill a minute type wrestler. He was a very strong 142 pounder. These were the reasons why he was able to upset Gable, one of the greatest to ever do it. But Milkovich was a VERY defensive type wrestler (those that really know the mechanics of wrestling will see what I’m talking about in the match here). So I think his style ended up frustrating Owings. Had a he been a very offensive and attack type wrestler I think Owings could have taken advantage. So Milkovich wrestled a very smart match that day in my opinion. Hats off to both NCAA champions 👏🏽
