It had been e fiercely fought bout, typical of their past fights. Both men had given everything they had. Both had taken plenty. They weie waiting for the de cision the little fellow in blue and white and his opponent in blue, giay and gold Surely this time he iiould be declared the winnei, the little man in blue and white thought to him self Hadn't he pounded his opponent all over th' ring , Hadn't he ta ken everything the other little man threw at bun , And hadn't he come back for more , This time he must have won.

Penn State's wrestling Lions meet the eastern intercollegiate champs —the Lehigh University learn that humiliated them last year. 25.3: If the fact that they will be wrestling on their own mats has anything to do with it, Lehigh will have a psychological advantage over State If past performances mean any thing, the Nittany Lions with 18 out of 22 victories over the Engi neers will have a decided edge Personally, I doubt if there will be such a thing as an advantage when the two teams meet From all indications it will be a fight-to the-finish affair with the best team winning.
