Senior co-captain S ave Ad
ams, 147-pound runtierup in
both the Eastern and National
wrestling tournaments last
season, is almost certain of
the 147-pound starting berth
on this year's Lion mat team.
But the starters in the 157 and
167 pound divisions are as much
a mystery as the famed killer of
"cock robin."
In the 1956 campaign Coach
Charley Speidel used six different
men to man his 157 and 167-pound
classes, includirig Adam s. He
could repeat himself this season

ions have been impressive in pre
season practice sessions.
Last year Adams, who has
already earned two letters, saw
more regular season action in
the 157-pound slot than in the
147-pound class. But he com
peted in the 147-pound division
during the post-season tourna
ments.
Adams compiled a successful
5-2-1 record in regular scheduled
matches and lost two meets
in the tournaments—both to Le
high's defending champion Ed
Eichelberger.
At the end of the season. Adams
received the Kaye Vinson Memor
ial Award •for being the most
improved wrestler on the team.
It was the first year the award
had been given.

Major Leagues
Vote to Sign •
College Players
CHICAGO, Dec. 11 01—Major
league club owners, in a surprise
move, voted today to resc:nd the
college rule whereby a big league
club was not permitted to sign
a college player after he had
reached his sophomore year.
It was the action on the col
lege rule that created the excite
ment, a decision that is certain
to cause considerable resentment
in college circles, especially among
the coaches.
Under the old rule, put in ef
fect three years ago, a major
league club could negotiate with
a college player only during his
freshmen year. Once he continued
as a sophomore, however, he could
no longer be approached until he
had graduated or reached the age
of 21.
There was a fallacy in this rule,
however, in that minor league
clubs were not under its juris
diction since they had steadfastly
voted against it. The result was
that a major league club easily
was able to circumvent its own
restrictions by signing a player
through its minor league affiliate.
Boxing Correction
It was erroneously printed in
The Daily Collegian yesterday
that Bill Kuhnsman, Delta Upsi
lon, beat Charlie Zendt, Lambda
Chi Alpha. in an IM boxing bout.
Zendt was the winner by a de
cision over Kuhnsman in the 121-
pound match.
