Varsity Wrestling Squad Takes On Cornell, Syracuse

Two tricky wrestling teams, in the form of Syracuse and Cornell, will provide the opposition for Chief Boston's grapplers this weekend as the Crimson team travels down to New York State to meet the boys from Syracuse on Friday evenings and the Big Red Saturday afternoon.

"The team is looking better and better," was Boston's comment yesterday, "but to wrestle two away matches in as many days is tough on any squad." Pleased with his team's performance against Brown, Chief plans to use the same lineup Friday and Saturday as that which faced the Bruins.

Syracuse Highly Rated

With a long record of producing outstanding wrestling teams behind it, Syracuse is rated as one of the better teams in the East. Specializing in wristlocks and clever take-downs, the upstaters have a well-balanced team and a win over Penn State behind them.

Crimson heavyweight Pete Fuller with face their strongest man in Bob Pickett, the youngest of the wrestling Pickett brothers, who dominated heavyweight wrestling circles during most of the Thirties while they were students at Yale.

Cornell Lost to Army

Although the Cornell grapplers lost to Army by a larger margin than the Crimson did, the match at Ithaca shapes up as a close one, because the stronger Cornell classes coincide with the weaker ones of the Varsity. The fate of the lightweights will probably decide the contest.

The probable starting lineup for the Crimson is: 121, Bill Bluemel; 128, Pete Knox; 136, Frank Trinkle; 145, Dan Ray; 155, Al Zellner; 165, Don Louria; 175, Bob Claflin; Unlimited, Pete Fuller.

With no official meet scheduled this week, Jay Thomas has entered the of his Freshman wrestlers in the AAU Invitation Tournament to be held tomorrow in the YMCA gym, in Attleboro Massachusetts.
