State Vol. V, No 4 The Wrestling Match An Easy Victory for the Sopho- mores. The annual class wrestling match took place last Thursday evening on Beaver field at 8:00 p. m. The contest was held according to the plan suggested by the wrestling club and adopted by the upper classes. The rules call for five weights: 125, 135, 148, 160 and heavy weight. Each bout was limited to nine min utes, with an additional three min utes if necessary for a.decision. The time before the match was taken up by the usual exchange of class yells and songs among the students. Both teams were cheered 'repeatedly upon their appearance; the din ceasing only when "Pop" Golden called the two light weights, Neidig, 'll, and Seltzer, 'l2, on the mat - for the first bout. The feather weights came together quickly seem ing and breaking holds in rapid suc cessiori'until Neidig succeeded in pin ning his opponent's shoulders down Brown 'll, and Hoskins 'l2, came next Both men worked hard arm fast, but Brownie's experie ice in handling such men as "Bull" Mc- Cleary was too much for the unex peiie.nced Hoskins, and another fall went . to the Sophs. McEntire, 'll, and Duncan, 'l2, then wrestled nine minutes to a draw, the freshman showing great pluck and endurance in breaking some of Mac's clever holds. Meade, 'll threw Kuhns 'l2 after a few minutes of fast work. McEntire threw' Duncan when they wrestled off the draw. In the heavyweight bout Harlow 'l2, slapped Lesh to the mat in Coil STATE COLLEGE, PA., OCTOBER 13, 1908 short order but the husky soph broße loose and soon won from the big freshman. The second bouts were much like the first, the sophomores winning all of the falls. Both teams are to be commended for the clean, sports manlike manner in which they wrestled. The freshmen deserve much credit for the game fight they made against a team of seasoned wrestlers such as opposed them, some of the best men of the wrest ling club being on the sophomore team. The new rules appear to be a great improvement over the former ones, as they necessitate a lively bout and do away , ith any tiresome loafing such as has been seen here before. Moreover the bout is not as great a strain on the wrestlers as it was formerly when they struggled sometimes for over an hour. Thole men who made their class team, and any others who feel that they have any ability along this line,should not fail to come out and try for a place on the college team, which will be picked later in the season. The wrestling club is hopeful of a meet with Cornell and the prospects a e good for a matcn with U. of P.
