A grand total of 192 cadets, 16 from each of the 12 squadrons, are scheduled to participate in the tournament which is in charge of Lieut. Charles Spiedel, USNR, head wrestling coach. 192 Cadets Will Participate In Regimental Wrestling Meet With a record number of 192 entries, the annual fall Regimental Wrestling Tournament will get underway on Monday afternoon. Site of the 10-day event will be at the wrestling pavilion. Fo-r the past week all participants have been receiving special in struction from their respective wrestling coaches and Lieut. Charles Speidel, USNR, who is in charge of the wrestling program here. In that most of the heavier<S^ cadets are now participating in the Sports Program football, both wrestling and boxing weights have been slightly changed. Weights for the tournament, in which 16 cadets will be in each class, are 132, 138, 145, 151, 156, 162, 168 and 175. Each of the 12 squadrons have two men entered in each of the weights. Pairings are such that it will be impossible for two men from the same squadron to wrestle one another until the final round. Competition is different from what it was a year ago. “Until recently we always had three or four cadets in each of the weights who had previous wrestling in struction,” Lieut. Speidel stated. “Now it is seldom we find such a See WRESTLING, page U Stormy Session Marks Softball Play By Everett Bracken, Y2c In a fast game punctuated by ex plosive arguments which made us slightly home-sick for Ebbett Field and “Dem Bums,” the Essex nosed out the Rangers by one run and the rule book. The high light of the game came in the first half of the sixth inn ing when, with the Essex at bat, two men out, and the bases loaded, Ensig^n J. J.

S. Naval Academy. Just how string the team is or how it will make out over the season Lieut. rmk Kimbrough, USNR, head football coach, doesn't know. He does,, however, like the spirit and determination of the ^players and is confident they will show plenty of fight. “We have not made the progress that I had hoped we would,” Coach Kimbrough stated yesterday. “Most of the cadets out for the team have had little previous ex perience, and we’ve had to spend a great deal of time on funda mentals. From now on we should make rapid improvement.” While there is a likely chance that some changes will be made before next Saturday, Coach Kim brough named his starting line up for the game at Annapolis. R. E. Norman and A. G. Kleiber will be at the end positions, V. J. Calo and W. E. Suydam at the tackles, W. R. Long and D. S. Jones at the guards and R. W. Stehlin at center. C. W. Beattie will start at the wingback, J. T. Miller at quarter, V. A. Norris at full, and V. B. Bennett at the tailback spot. On the second eleven J. Gattuso and R. F. Ramin are at the ends, See FOOTBALL, page i Buffalo Squadron Grabs Top Honors In Sports Program After winning the Summer Sports Program by a 19% point margin, the Vindicators have found things a bit tougher in the fall program.
