Grapplers Soaked by Navy Saturday As Boston, Daughaday Win Matches

Receiving their first real trouncing at the hands of the Middies, the wrestling team returned from Annapolis yesterday on the tail end of 20 1/2 to 7 1/2 score. The freshmen also met defeat in a match against the Andover team, 17 to 11 in a match which saw two matches run into overtime draws.

The victors for the varsity against Navy were Bill Daughaday and "Chief" Boston, both of whom earned decisions from their opponents. Bill Daughaday continued a successful season--he has been defeated once--in the 165 pound class, as he outwrestled Bill Lamb after two overtime periods. "Chief" had less trouble with his opponent, Ben Jarvis, but he was still unable to take him for any more than a decision and thereby clinch the unlimited class for Harvard.

Captain Harvey Ross wrestled a hard match at 121 against John Landerth of the Midshipmen, but two overtime periods failed to earn a decision for either man. It is conceivable that under more favorable conditions of traveling, Ross might have won. At 136, Ted Schoenberg once more showed his ability as he held Charlie Chandler of the Middies to a decision.

Captain Chuck Leigh of the Navy team stood true to form as he felled Richter in a head scissors, in 2:45. Leigh is probably the outstanding wrestler in his class in the East. Bruce Richardson found that continuing his undefeated record was too much for him as he was defeated by a decision. He was the last of the original starting Sophomores to succumb to defeat, being beaten by Luther Richards.

At 155, Pete Illman's steadiness was overcome by Sailor Bob Searle in a decision. Searle is only a Yearling and his success against Illman, who is a good wrestler himself, seems to slate him for future honors. Duncan Longcope, the fourth Sophomore that has wrestled on the team this year was unfortunate in his first match in running up against a wrestler of Tom Taylor's ability, but he fought hard neverthless, losing by only a decision.

The freshmen at Andover had a particularly hard time of it as Time and Robbins wrestled their matches to a draw after overtimes. Miles won a decision, and, Thomas, as was expected, threw his man in four minutes and a half.
