Coach Charlie Speidel, who will ac company Scaizo, believes that the freshman grappler has possibilities. However, he said, the grade of com petition in these AAU tourneys is perhaps tougher than the meets last week, since the Amateur league has no eligibility rules to govern the wrestlers. It will be the second time that Scaizo appeared in the NAAU meets. Last year,-he competed in the 145- pound class and was put out of the tourney in his- third bout by Emilo. Bruno,* Cal., who copped the title; The AAU meets are conducted un der the Olympic rules which elimin ates a man after he has had five de merits chalked up against him. If a man wins a bout by decision, he gets one demerit; if* he wins by a falls, he gets no demerits; if he loses, he gets three demerits. Bouts are 15 minutes in length, split into six and three minute periods. School Press Meeting- Will Be Held April 30 Sigma Delta Chi’s annual high school press conference will be held here tomorrow.
