WRESTLING TOURNAMENT GETS UNDER WAY TODAY

Preliminaries for the annual University Wrestling Tournament will start today at 3 o'clock in the Wrestling Room of the New Indoor Athletic Building. They will continue tomorrow at the same time, the finals being scheduled to take place Friday.

Matches will be held in the 118, 126, 135, 145, 155, 165, and 175-pound and unlimited weight divisions. Each year a large number of contestants enter the tournament, so that it is by no means certain that the regulars on the wrestling team will take a majority of the finals in their respective classes. Arthur Klein '32, captain-elect of next year's team, twice winner of the New England Intercollegiate championship in the 126-pound class, and possessor of an undefeated record this year is expected to maintain his clean slate against any comers in his weight. This year's Freshman team also boasts of an undefeated champion in R. G. A. Ames '34, powerful 175-pound grappler, who is rated as an outstanding contender for supremacy in his division. J. H. Crandon '33, O. E. Goddard '33, and R.W. Straus '31, the other members of the University team who gained titles in the New England Intercollegiate Meet last Saturday, should also make strong bids for victory. The entrants from the Graduate Schools, however, are always the "dark horses" of the tournament, and inasmuch as some of them are experienced grapplers who have previously been members of college teams as undergraduates, prognostication regarding the results of the tournament cannot be advanced with any degree of certitude.
