DiMaggio Signs
For $lOO,OOO
NEW YORK, Feb. 7 (IP) —The
New York Yankees today re
ceived their best piece of news
since their World Series sweep
of the Philadelphia Phils last Oc
tober in the receipt of the signed
contract of Joe DiMaggio, who
will play this season for another
$lOO,OOO.
As per custom, no salary fig
ures were announced but Gen
eral Manager George Weis said
that the star centerfielder will
earn as much as he made in each
of the 1949 and 1950 seasons when
his salary was a reported $lOO,-
000.
DiMaggio's acceptance of terms
was interpreted by Weiss as a
good sign in more ways than one.
He hoped that Joe's action would
spur other Yankee regulars, who
up to now have shown a reluc
tance to come into the fold. Di-
Mag is only the fourth Yankee
regular to sign for 1951.

said, since last year the West
Pointers hit the bullseye for a
1417 score to capture the Inter
collegiates title, and were ranked'
number one in the country.

Five lettermen make up the
nucleus of this Year's version of
the Army mat squad.
Coach Lloyd Appleton, begin
ning his 14th season with the
Army, will probably stick with
the same lineup that pulled out
the win over Syracuse.
Bob Karns, a sophomore who
has been undefeated since he
started out with the freshman
team last year, will be Apple
ton's starter at 123. Pat !Brian
will probably follow him at 130.
In the '137 pound class, the
Black and Gold will probably
send Dick Wasson to the mats
and follow up with Dan Myers in

fourth in the Easterns last year.

Mulder at 167
Army captain Dean Mulder, un

last year jumped back and forth
between 157 and 167 but wrestled
at the heavier weight in the East

An ex-Pennsylvania scholastic
champion, Al Paulekas, of Farrell,
will probably take over in the
177 pound match. Paulekas, like
his teammate Karns, was unde

also this season.
