AWS ACTS UPSET
The Supreme Court recently
ruled unconstitutional by a 5-4
vote two acts of Congress which
strip citizenship from persons
who stay abroad in wartime to

The court majority said the
two acts failed to provide pro

therefore they could not stand.

Wrestling Separates Men, Boys
By LARRY PENLEY
W r A 1 1 i n g competition in
Boone continues to separate the
men from the boyi.
Every year the cry goes up
that a new champion has em
erged in the state to challenge
the perennial wrestling champs
from Appalachian State Teach
ers College and Appalachian
High School.
Frank "Dutch" Meyer, wrest
ling coach at ASTC, said,
"Wrestling has been around
Boone for the past 29 years,
and the college and high school
still have teams that are second
to none in the state. High
schools and colleges that have
been willing to wrestle with the
Boone squads have found that
the competition here is more
than jug talk.
"Wrestling is not declining
in Boone, but is probably re
ceiving the greatest emphasis
in the history of the college.
This year six classes in wrest
ling are being taught in the
college physical education de
partment with 75 boys partici
pating in these classes."
R. W. Watkins, veteran wrest
ling coach at Appalachian Col
lege for 25 years until his re
tirement in 1958, declared that
other schools in the state may
have more boys participating in
the sport, but the college and
high school are more concern
about quality than mere num
bers.
During his tenure of service,
Watkins' wrestlers took on any
team from Duke to Harvard
that would wrestle and rolled
up an impressive record of 235
victories out of 250 dual meets.
ASTC established and still
holds the national record for
one season's scoring in points.
Appalachian Colege, partici
pating in 18 AAU Tournaments,
had never lost in one of these
tournaments until two years
?go when North Carolina Stat*
edged Appalachian for the vic
tory.
Year after year ASTC had
produced championship teams.
A few year! ago, the college had
a string of 49 victories over a
four year period, broken in an
upset match with a strong
Franklin-Marshal College team
from Pennsylvania.
This year 1 Coach Meyer led
hi? grapplers to a 10-0 record,
and the squad wiH participate
in the NAIA competition in
Bloomsburg, Pa., March 12-16.
The new coach believes that
wrestling should be encouraged
in the elementary and junior
high levels. If North Carolina
schools are to continue to com
pete with tennis from Pennsyl
vania and other states, tt will
be naeeasary to start the young
sters early to enable them to
develop experience for compe
titive high school and college
wrestling.
Appalachian, ? pioneer in
college wrestling in North Car
olina, continues year after year
to supply the majority of wrest
ling coaches for high schools In
this state and Virginia.
Appalachian Hieh School,
coached by ASTC alumnus
Steve Gabriel, has not lost a
dual wrestllni mutch in It
vara. Coach Gabriel's charges
have won the state champion
ship seven times in the last ten
years'.
ASTC wrestlers this season
racked up 242 points in 10
meets as compared to 97 points
for the opposition, Meyer said
that his teams have not tried
to run up the score, but as
much as possible he has used
hi* second team. Fourteen men
will earn letters in a squad
that has wrestled only eight
weights this season.
Meyer is delighted and en
couraged that other colleges in
North Carolina are participat
ing in wrestling, and he hopes
that in the near future he will
not have to go out of the state
to find competition for Appala
chian. This year only two North
Carolina colleges were willing
to wrestle with the Mountain
eers.
KENNEDY'S TRIP ABROAD
Diplomats speculate that
President Kennedy's trip to
Italy might be extended to in
clude other European countries.
Ine White House announced
that the President had accepted
an invitation from Italian Pre
mier Fanfani to visit Italy this
year. The date as yet has not
been set.
