INTERSCHOLASTIC WRESTLING.

...... 81 . North Carolina ...... 87 , Much severe criticism of amateur wrestling is caused by the disgusting, unsanitary, and usually unnecessary habit of many wrestlers of expec- * torating on the wrestling mat or on the floor outside the mat, blowing the nose without use of handkerchief, wiping the nose with the back of , the hand and then wiping the hand off on the trunks, etc. Such habits ape repulsive to people of culture. The foreign representatives at the Olympics at Los Angeles in 1932 were astonished at the degree to which this was,prevalent among our wrestlers. I am informed that many ladies refuse to attend wrestling matches for this reason. There are so many good reasons against and none for these practices that all interested in 4. the development of amateur wrestling should cooperate in the elimination of this evil. The following suggestions, if carried out in both practice

and competition, would .unquestionably ' eliminate these practices in a comparatively short time: First, education of the contestabts by the

._ coaches as to the detrimental effects of these practices ; second, if it is considered necessary (which I personally doubt) for the contestants to have something into which to expectorate during matches, two small boxes of sawdust should be placed at opposite corners of the mat; and, third, much preferable to the second suggestion, require each contestant to carry a small handkerchief somewhere in his "jeans" and use this. when necessary. The latter custom is quite common among foreign wrestlers. R. G., CLAPP, M.D., Chairman National Collegiate Wrestling Rules Committee. COLLEGE RULES.

Whenever there are two outstanding con- testants in any class, in order to prevent them from meet- ing in the early rounds whereby one of them would of necessiv-be eliminated, the--riami of one of these con- testants shall be placed in the upper half of the drawing bracket and the name-of tlie other' shall be placed in the lower ha1 f of the bracket. In the annual National Collegiate championship meet, whenever possible, contestants from the same geographical loc&ioa or conference, who have previously met in dual or other competition, shall be so seeded as to prevent them from meeting in the early rourids. Note. Seeded contestants may be given any number in their own half of the bracket except a number which rep- , resents a bye; hod of Drawing in Bagnall-Wild System. ,3. Drawings for First Place. Immediately after the . , expiration of the minimum weighingin time, drawings shall be made for each class, starting with the 118-lb. clss, and progressing in order up to the heavyweight class as follows :

' ' Note 1. Attehtion is called to the fact that if the double A; .If wristlock is brought up into a twisting hammerlock, it -13%-? becomes an illegal hold and must be stopped by the Referee 4 and treated as any other illegal hold, and no contestant shall / be allowed to retain any advantage he secures by use of the wristlock in this illegal way. The Referee is further in- $ 'I structed that he should anticipate danger of injury from this '. ' hold and stand so that he may block the double wristlock before it reaches the danger point. , , Note 2. The Committee calls the attention of the coaches and contestants to the fact that injuries are sometimes caused by a lack of knowledge on the part of contestants of such holds as the double wristlock (which may cause injury when used legally), the keylock and other more or less dangerous ' 2

holds. Contestants should have a knowledge of the dangers , , of these holds and a knowledge of the blocks for them. Note 3, In the interpretation of the clause "interlocking of lingers, hands or arms around body or legs while con- testants are on the mat," in Section 1 of this rule, this . restriction does not apply when the defensive man has re- gained his feet, when he is in a sitting position on the mat .. or when he has only one knee on the mat. Lifting of one or ' both hands from the mat does not affect this rule and, there- fore, no complete armlock is permitted until one knee is raised from the mat. Nore 4. Contestants may grasp all four finiers. in an ' - j effort to break a hold, but pulling back the thumb, . or ot~,- , two or three fingers is illegal. '%,?< * Note 5.

s regardless of any time-advantage previously obtained, and when one contestant has secured a position of advantage, whether on the feet or on the mat, he shall make an honest , effort to secure a fall; furthermore, a contestant who has previously secured a considerable time-advantage over his opponent is stalling if he fails to make ail honest effort to wrestle aggressively thereafter. (For Penalties, seeRuleX.) 2. Running or sliding off mat or going over or through ropes to prevent an opponent from going behind is to be interpreted as stalling. (For Penalty, see Rule X, Sec- tion 2.) Note. Regerees are expected to enf,orce the foregoing rules on stalling. RULE X. , 1. Stalling. . Penalties. - A. If, in the opinion of the Referee, a contestant in a position of advantage on the mat, is stalling, the Referee may order the men to their feet in the neutral position, or he may .warn the offending contestant once, after which he SHALL order the men to their feet in the neutral position. B. If, in the opinion of the 'Referee, a contestant in the neutral position on the feet, is stalling, the Referee may put the contestants in the Referee's Position on the mat with the offender underneath, or he may warn the offending con- testant once, after which he SHALL put the contestants in the Referee's Position on the mat with the offender underneath. Nofe. For definition of "stalling" see Rule IX, Sections 1 and 2. ." . I /. 2. Intentionally ~oirigOff Mat. A. If, in the opinion of the Referee, a contestant inten- . .tipnally runs, slides, crawls or rplls off the mat to prevent his opponent from going beh~ndhim, the Referee SHALL

give his opponent the Referee's Position behind. (See Rule ,VII?, Se~ion~3.) + B, . In case a cont&t&t' repeatedly $fringes on Rule X, Section ZA, or intentionally and repeatedly goes off the RULE XI.

Injuries arid Defaults. _ #' 1. If a contestet is injured, the Referee shall allow him a three-minute period of rest. If, at the expiration of the three minutes, he is able to continue wrestling, the bout shall'bk resumed as if the codtestants had gone out of bounds. (See Rule VIII, Section 1.) If the injured contestant is unable to continue wrestling, ' the bout shall be awarded in accordance with Sections 2

scored as a fall. . RULE XI. Length of Bouts.

If either contestant brings his opponent to the mat and secures a position of advantage within the first two min- ; utes of wrestling, the bout shall become a continuous ten - minute bout. A fall in any part of this continuous ten- Note. If either contestant has brought his opponent to the mat and has been indicated as having the advantage be- hind by the Referee at any time in the first two minutes of wrestling in any dual meet match, or in any first place match in championship meets, the match goes on as a continuous ten-minute bout, regardless of the length of time either con- testant may be behind his opponent and regardless of the position of the contestants at the expiration of this two- minute period. 2. Second and Third Place Matches in Champion- ship Meets. Second and third place matches shall consist of three two-minute bouts. The first two-minute bout shall start from the neutral position with both contestants on their feet. A fall in the first two-minute bout terminates the match. If neith6r contestant secures a fall in the first two- minute period, the Referee shall stop the bout and toss a coin and the winner of the toss may elect to go behind or underneath in the Referee's Position on 'the 'mat at the be- ginning of the second two-minute bout, no rest period being allowed. At the expiratioh of the second twb-minute bout, the Referee shall stop the bout and shall put the contestant who started with the position of advantage in the position underneath when he starts the third two-minute bout. no rest period being allowed. If a contestant secures a fall in the second two-minute period, this terminates only the second two-minute bout, and the third two-minute bout shall be wrestled as though no fall had resulted in the previous bout, except as provided in Rule XII, Sections 4,5A and B. When , a fall does not occur in these matches, the Referee is expected to name the winner,; hawever, cases do sometimes occur in , which neither contestant, has shown any superiority what- soever. In such exceptional matches the Referee may call for overtime bouts, after which he must name the winner. 3. Extra-Period Bouts. If the Referee makes no decision at the end o.£ the main bout in dual meets or first place matches i-n championship meets, two extra periods, of three minutes each shall be wrestled. If the Referee can- not make a decision at the end.of the third two-minute bout in second or third place matches in championship meets, two extra periods of two minutes each shall bd wrestled, ' Both RULE XU ,of - the 'extra-pe;i& bo& shall start from the "Referee's Position on the Mat." (See Rule VII, Section 3.) The flip of a coin by the,Referee shall decide the choice of 'starting , . positions in the first bout. Position of contestants shall be ieversed in the second bout. , Note. The term "main bout" refers to a continuous ten- minute bout or to the ten-minute bout when divided into the two, four and four-minute periods, or to the three regular two- minute bouts in second and third place championship contests. 4: Length of Championship Bouts When Falls Occur. When a fall occurs in a first four-minute bout, a second two-minute bout, or a,first extra-period bout of a -Championship meet, it should be understood that the second four-minute bout, the third two-minute bout, or the second extra-period bout, terminates at the elapsed time at which the fall terminated the previous bout. Example : "A" wins fall in four-minute bout with "B" in two minutes. The second four-minute bout is really only two minutes in length, as it would be impossible for "B" to win this bout after the two minutes have elapsed. Note. For length of bouts when falls occur in dual meet matches, see Rule XVI. Section 2A. 5. Intermission. A. Extra-Period Bouts. Between the main bout and the first of the extra-period bouts, and also between the two extra-period bouts, a one-minute rest shall be allowed, dur- ing which tihe contestants shall not leave the mat. Con- testants may receive aid and coaching from one person only j during this period of rest. B. Two-Minute and Four-Minute Bouts. Only such time shall intervene between the first and second four- minute bouts and between thd second and third two-minute bouts as may be required for the Referee to bring cantes- tants into proper position for the next bout, except when the first f our-minute or second two-minute bout is terminated by a fall, in which case a one-minute rest may be allowed if, in the opinion of the Referee, either contestant needs the rest':

(See Rule XII, Section 1, and Rule XVI, Sec- tion 1.) B. In Dual Meets. (See Rule XII, Section 1, and Rule XVI, Section 2.) 4. Fall vs. Decision. In championship or in dual meets, a fall shall take precedence over a decision. % RULE XIV. Time Advantage. 1. A contestant's time advantage starts when he b;ings , his opponent to the mat. This time advantage shall con- . &we as long as this contestant has clearly a position of advantage, even though his opponent may regain his fed temporarily. (See Rub \XV, Section I, and Explanatory Note.) 1. ~egularBouts. If no fall has resulted after the expiration of the regular period of wrestling, as provided in Rule XII, Section 1, _the Referee shall award the bout . to the contestant who shows greater wrestling ability and aggressiveness, provided the contestant has a time-advan- tage of at least one minute. The Referee must make his decision before he consults the Timekeepells watch. In case the Referee finds, after consulting the Timekeepers, that the winner, according to his judgment, has less than one binute time advantage, the match shall be continued as an extra-period contest.

Too frequently officials, coaches and contestants have interpreted this rule to mean that the time-advantage behind is the most important factor in deciding the winner when wrestling ability and aggressiveness should bk the deciding factors ; therefore officials are urged to call for extra- period bouts, even when one contestant has a long period of time-advantage behind, if he has not shown decidedly superior wrestling ability and real aggressiveness. In other words, mete ability to stay behind and "hang on" does not consti- tute sufficient demonstration of wrestling ability to warrant a Referee's decision at the end of the regular bout. 2. Second and Third ~kceMatches in Charnpion- ship Meets. If neither contestant secures a fall in the three two-minute bouts, the Referee shall award the deci- sion to the contestant who has shown greater wrestling ability and aggressiveness except as provided in Rule XII. Section 2. No time-advantage is required. 3. Extra-Period Bouts. A. In Championship Meets. when no fall has been secured, the Referee shall award the decision to the contes- tant who has shown greater wrestling ability and aggressive- fless.in the extra-period bout, without taking into considera- tion anything that may have happened in the regular bout or bouts. No time-advantage is required. B. In Dual Meets. The Referee may award the deci- sion as in A above. or he may declare the bout a draw . .I

4. The Referee is not allowed to consult the Timekeep- ers' watches before making- his decision under Sections 2 and" 3 preceding. RULE XVI. Scoring. 1. Team Championship Meets. In intercollegiate championships, first place in each weight shall count 5 4 points, second dace shall count 3 points and third place shall 4 count 1 point. One additional point shall be awarded for each fall secured throughout the meet. In case both con- ,: testants secure falls in the four-minute bouts, in extra- 72 period bouts, or in the second and third two-minute bouts ? of second or third place matches in championship meets, 1 only the contestant securing the fall in the shorter time shall be given a point award for a fall. 1 Note. For information concerning the length of these bouts ,>i when falls occur, see Rule 12, Section 3 and 4. 2. Dual Meets. A. Falls. In dual meets, when only one of the two con- testants in any match secures a fall, 5 points shall be awarded - to the contestant securing the fall; but if both contestants*, secure falls in four-minute bouts, or in extra-period bouts, , the contestant securing the fall in the shorter time wins the ; bout and shall be credited with 5 points, but his opponent shall also be credited with 3 points for his fall.

RULE XVIII. Notification and Agreement of Meets.

1. , In dual meets the selection of a Referee and the maximum weighing-in time shall be mutually agreed upon at least ten days prior to date of meet. Note. In case the coaches concerned are unable to agree on, , a shorter maximum weighing-in time than the five hours speci- fied as the maximum in these rules, it is understood that the maximum amount of time as specified in the rules shall hold. 2. The home management shall notify visiting teams at least sevenSdaysprior to date of meet the exact time and ' place of match. High School Wrestling Rules : The Wrestling Rules Committee of the N.C.A.A. rec- ommends that interscholastic Wrestling contests be gov- erned as follows : Wrestling rules of the N.C.A.A. as published in the In- tercollegiate Wrestling Guide (Spalding Athletic Library Publication No. 118R) shall apply in high school wrestling contests with the following.modifications : 1. Weight classification. A. In Championship Meets. Competition shall be divided into nine weight classes as follows: 95 lbs. and under. 105 lbs. and under. 115 lbs. and under. 125 lbs. and under. 135 lbs. and under. 145 lbs. and under. 155 lbs. and under. 165 Ibs. and under. 185 lbs. and under. B. In Dual Meets. The same weight limits shall be used in dual meets as those indicated above, except that the 95-lb. and the 185-lb. weight classes shall be optional, and therefore shall be included only upon mutual agreement by the competing schools. 2. No Weight Allowance. Net weight shall be re- quired in all dual and championship meets. Note. The Committee wishes to emphasize the discourage- 'ment of any appreciable weight reduction es#ecially among high school competitors, as it is much more apt to produce injurious effects if practised by growing boys. 3. Weighing-in Time. Contestants may weigh-in a maximum of one hour and a minimum of me-half hour before time meet is scheduled to begin. , HIGH SCHOOL WRESTLING RULES, ''1 4. Legal a&lllegal Holds. 'A. In addition to holds barred in College Rule VII, Sec- tions 1 and 2, all "slams" from a standing position (Rule L < VII, Section 1, Note 6)and the "fall-back" from the stand- ing position, and the head scissors, are barred. Note. The term "fall-back" refers to the hard falling or jumping backward when opponent is on contestant's back in a "cross-scissors ride" or "body-scissors." B. Penalty for infringement on Rule 4-A by offensive wrestler is loss of his position of advantage. (In case of injury to the defensive contestant by above illegal holds, Rule XI-3 of the Collegiate rules shall apply.) 5. Bouts. A. Method of Conducting and Length of Bouts. (1) In All Dual Meet Matches and In All Final First Place Matches in Championship Meets, the length of bouts shall be seven minutes or eight minutes, conducted as follows: If either contestant brings his opponent to the mat and secures a position of advantage within the first two minutes of wrestling, the bout shall be- come a continuous seven-minute bout. A fall in any part of this continuous seven-minute bout terminates the match. If neither contestant se- cures a position of advantage before the expira- tion of two minutes of wrestling, the Referee shall stop the bout, the remainder of which shall consist of two three-rninute periods conducted as follows : The Referee shall toss a coin and the winner of the toss may elect to go behind or underneath in the Referee's Position on the Mat at the beginning of the first three-minute bout. The second three-minute bout shall start with the contestant who had the position of advantage i at the beginning of the first bout, in the psi- tion underneath. Should either contestant secure a fall in the first two minutes of wrestling, this 3+ c! c! ,< terminates the match. If, however, a contestant

Note 1. These three-minute bouts should be conducted in the same manner as the four-minute bouts in the college rules, except that a one-minute rest period intervenes be- tween the first and second three-minute bouts in the high . school wrestling. (See College Rules XI1 and XVI.) . Note 2. The interval between the first and second place

B. In Championship Meets, in All Except Final ; First Place Matshes, the bouts shall be six minutes i,n length, divided into three periods of two minutes each. The first two-minute bout . shall start with contestants on their feet as in- dicated in College Rule XVII, Section 2. A fall in the first two-minute period terminates the match. If no fall occurs in the first two minutes of wrestling, the Referee shall stop the bout and : the two remaining two-minute periods shall be,' conducted in the same manner as the two three- - minute periods in, Interscholastic Rule 5-A. If ' neither contestant has secured a fall in any of the three two-minute periods, the Referee shall award the decision to the contestant who has shown the greater wrestling ability and aggressive- ness. The Referee is expected to make a decision in these matches; however, cases do sometimes occur in which neither contestant has shown any superiority whatsoever. In such exceptional mat~hes,~theReferee may call for overtime bouts, after which he must name the winner. Note. The last four minutes of these matches are divided into two two-minute periods, regardless of position of ad- vantage secured by either"'mntest8nt in the first two- minute period. ?tb'~s%~~fi,;.~~b,-4p-, - ,-r- *,- ( ,.=, .<,A . - ' , --< * HIGH SCHOO~WRESTLING R-s 1 - -I. 6:.~x&a-p&iod Bouts.

If ropes are not used, however, the mat should not be less than 24 feet by 24 feet. In the interest of good sportsmanship, visiting teams should be notified several weeks be- fore date of meet whether ropes will or will not be used. RULES IV AND V. 9.-IS it permissible to allow slight overweight in dual meets? A.-No. Contestants and coaches know the required weights and it is not good sportsmanship for a coach to ask the other coach to concede a handicap, and it is unfair to the contestant who has complied with the preight rules. RULE VII, SECTION1. Q:-IS interlocking of hands or arms permissible after defensive man has taken one or both hands from the mat? A.-NO. So long as both knees are on the mat, no complete armlock is legal. RULE VII, SECTIONS1 AND 2. &.-Does the offensive wrestler lose his position of advantage when he is required by the Referee t6 break a dan- gerous or illegal hold? A.-Yes. See Rule X, Section 5. RULE VII SECTIONS1 AND 2. Q.-Should the defensive contestant be given a nehral position or position behind when the Referee stops an illegal or dangerous hold which he is using in his effort to come out from underneath ? A.-NO. He should be put back into the Referee's position underneath and warned against repetition of the hold. (This applies to a double wristlock which is turned into a twisting hanimerlock. (See Rule X, Sect~on5.) Q.-What should the Referee do in case a hold which is usually considered a legitimate hold is forced to such an extent as to endanger a limb, or where the hold becomes purely a punishing hold? A.-lbferee should require the hold to be broken, time should be taka out and the contestant who had the advantage should be given the Referee's position behind. RULE VIII, Q.-In resuming a match at the center of the mat, whm should the Referee give contestants the same position they had when they left the mat? A.-Only when a fall is imminent and the defensive wrestler inten- tionally worked off the mat. RULE IX. Q.-HOW long should a Referee allow a contestant to retain a stalling hold? A.-If the contestant behind has been working hard and shows extreme breathlessness or exhaustion, he should be allowed to retain a hold of this. nature for a short time; otherwise a period of thirty seconds or there- abouts should be sufficient for the Referee to decide whether or not the contestant is stalling. RULE X. Q.-Should the ~;fereepenalize for stalling as promptly in fou?- minute bouts as in ten-minute bouts? A.-Yes, but the Referee should make his decision in such cases with little regard for the time advantage secured by either'contestknt. * A.-In c&ionship meets the bout lasts only for the time it took contestant to secure his fall in the first four-minute bout (if.,if-the was secured in two minutes, the third bout lasts but two minutes un a fall is secured in this time or less). In dual meets the third bout is four-minute bout because the contestant who lost the fall in the previous bout is allowed the full four minutes in which to try to pin his opponent2 If he pins him in less time then he wins the bout If he pins him in gr+ longer time, he is credited kith 3 points and his oiponent 5 points. 11. RULE XV SECTION2-A. 9.-Must the referee make a decision in all champicmihip matches? A.-Yes. See Rule XII, Sections 2 and 3, and Rule XV. 12. RULE XIII. 9.-May the Referee legaily call a fall when part of the opponent's body is ofE the mat? A.-Yes. Any part of the body may be off the mat except the head or one or both shoulders, provided in the opinion of the Referee, the defen- sive contestant is not handicap&d thereby. 13. RULE XV, SECTION1, and RULE XVII, SECTION6. Q.-IS the Referee privileged to ask the Timekeepers for the time advantage before he makes his decision in any match? - A.-No. The rules require that the Referee shall make his decision beftlre he knows the time advantage. Before the meet starts the Referee shodd be provided with blanks u on which to indicate his decision, and after a match is finished he shmd write the name of the wtnner on one of these blanks and hand the same-to the Scorer or Head Timekeeper. If the con. testant he has named as wmner has the necessary time advantage, if any ir required, thls contestant shall be announced as winner.

QUESTIONS BY PROF. D. B. SWINGLE. ANSWERS BY R. G. CLAPI'. RULE VII. Q.-Is a full nelson taka with the legs illegal? A.-Yes. RULE VI. Q.-In a triangular meet, how should the drawings be made? .

A.-Our rules provide for no different arrangement in triangular meets 'L than in larger championship meets. Undoubtedly however in trian- gular meets with only one contestant representin; each inAtitution, a . round robin would be the fairest and most satisfactory method, with am agreement relative to points for decision or fall. RULE VII. Q.-Has a man on defense a right to hold his forearm against his opponent's throat so that he cannot get closer and make his hold more effective? A-NO. RULE IX. 9.-When a man has a fairly good hold say a headlock with the under-arm included, can he be penalized for stallkg if he holds it bat ' is unable to pin his opponent? A.-If the hold is one with which, in the opinion of the Referee, the ,, offensive wrestler has a fair chance to pin his opponent and is making a real effort to pin him, it should not be considered a stallihg hold. RULE XVII. Q.-What is the penalty for fouling if no injury is done to the opponent? A.-The Referee has authority to disqualify if in his judgmtnt the circumstances warrant it. See Rule X, Section 5. RULE XVII. 9.-What is the penalty fw making derogatory remarks to an opponent or to his coach? . A.-The Referee has authority to disqualify the contestant if in hi# opinion the circumstances warrant it. &.--Yes. kccording to the rules all over-scissors are'bard. 8. RuLE,VII. 9.-Is a man defense permitted to use toe holds, pressure across the face, twisting hammerlock, etc.? A.-N:, 9. RULE VI 4.-In a tournament a man is accidentally injured and thus loses a match. Can he enter his next regular match for a third place? A.-NO. See Rule XI, -Section 5. 10. RULE VL. 9.-In a tournament a man is accidentally injured, but wins the match notwithstanding. He defaults the next match, which comes the same day, because of the injury. Can he, the following day, compete for third place? A.-No. See 9 above. 11. Q.-If twc opponents enter the ring dressed exactly alike and closely re- sembling each other, what can the Referee do to keep track of their identity? A.-See Rule 111, Section 3. 12. RULE111, SECTION2. 0.-IS a man permitted to wrestle barefooted? A.-No. The rules require light, heel-less gymnasium shoes laced by means of eyelets. 13. 0.-Can a wrestler be disqualified or otherwise punished for abusive language when not in a contest: (a) when on the bench; (b) when in the locker room? A.-The N.C.A.A. rules do not provide for such a matter and such a rule should be unnecessary in intercollegiate matches. 14. RULE XVII, SECTIONS1, 6 AND 11. Q.-If a man underneath slaps his opponent on the back, and becomes released as a consequence, and his opponent claims he thus concedes a fall, and he claims he was onIy trying to fop1 his opponent, what verdict should the Referee give? A.-The Referee should decide the matter on the basis of his judgment as to intent of the defensive wrestler, and in the interest of good sports- manship. Trying to "fool" an opponent is not good sportsmanship and should be so interpreted by the Referee. 15. Q.-Under what condition is a man permitted or not permitted to take out time for lacing a shoe or other adjustment of his clothing? A.-Only when the Referee considers it necessary and so orders. 16. RULE VIII. Q.-If a man is temporarily injured when a fall is im- minent, what positions do the men take when they continue after the three-minute rest period? A.-The bout should be resumed as in Rule VIII, Section 1. 17. RULE VII. Q.-If the man behind on the mat clasps his arms about his opponent's waist and one arm, is this an illegal hold? A.-Yes. 18. Q.-If the defensive man frees himself from a dangerous hold by pushing againqt the face or throat or by twisting the fingers, what is the penalty? A.-No .specific penalty is provided and the Referee should decide the matter on the merits of the case. RULE 11, SECTION2. &.-If in a tournament a man who is a lone ehtry wrestles in one weight (say 165-pound class) the first day can he drop back to a lighter class (say 155-pound class) the next day if his weight wlll permit ? A.-No. He wmld be allowed to' drop back to the lower weight on the first day before drawings are made for that class if he should see fit and if his institution is not represented by another contestant in that class. 20. RULE 11, SECTION2. Q.-If in a tournament a man is injured in the first; round, can a reserve be put in his place for a later round? A.-NO. --

QUESTIONS BY DR. J. A. ROCKWELL, ANSWERS BY R. G. CWPP. RULE XV, SECTION,2-A.

BY W. C. O'CONNELL. RULEIX. Q.-A man secures a riding-scissors and merely holds his oppo- nent down, not being in a position to secure a fall and making no effort to secure a fall.

WARNINGS BY REFEREES FOR STALLING Rule X, Section 1 (A and B), of the National Collegiate code, in the past, required the referee to penalize contestants for stalling on first oflense, but most referees have hesitated to penalize as required by the rules. Therefore, the Rules Committee, after a lengthy discussion of this matter, decided that it would be fairer to all concerned to provide for a single warning. With this new provision there seems to be no logical reason why the referee shall not strictly enforce the rule, and the com~itteeexpects all referees to do so. 2. DANGEROUS HOLDS Rule VII, Section 2, provides that anything which endangers life or limb is barred under the intercollegiate wrestling code. Recently the at$ention of the committee has been called to rather serious accidents which have resulted from the use of the "Japanese keyhold". Referees should bear in mind that much damage' to intercollegiate wrestling may result from any serious accident in competition, and therefore all referees should be alert to prevent the use of dangerous holds before injury results. Furthermore. no contestant should ever be ~utin a ~ositionwhere he must yield a fall to akoid injury to a limb or to escape severe punishment. Inter- collegiate wrestling is a contest of strength, speed and skill, and not punish- ment. and referees are ex~ectedto reauire contestants to break holds which endahger life or limb, aria whi~h.are-~rimaril~punishing holds. No con- testant should be allowed to retain any advantage which he has secured rT through use of an illegitimate hold. 3. BASIS OF DECISION Unfortunately it still seems necessary to call the attention of referees to ' the fact that decisions should be made on aggressiveness and wrestling ability, and not on time advantage ; and also to the fact that the referee must indicate his opinion as to the winner of the bout before he inquires as to the time advantage of either contestant. . In cases where the offensive wrestler has not shown superior aggressive- ness and wrestling ability but has been content simply to retain his position behind, the referee is expected to call for extra period bouts even though he may know that the offensive wrestler has a considerable time advantage. 4. FALLS Referees should bear in mind that both shoulders of the defensive wrestler must be held in continuous contact with the mat for a full two seconds before

The infection may be streptococci, staphylococci, or combined.' A large number of observers have examined the lesions bacteriologically and find tbe majority. are of staphylococci origin. These crusts are gummy-like, yellowish, very superficial, and appear as if

. another crust formation. These areas vary in size from a pin head to that of ' a dime, or even larger.

Through carelessness, neglect and unintentional disregard of a skin lesion by '. the individual, whole squads have been known to become the victims of impetigo, ' with the resulting cancellation of intercollegiate contests.

ment, 4 to 10 per cent, is the standard application. The procedure should be ', , repeated once or twice daily until all signs of crusting and oozing of the various' areas have subsided. ' ' . Athletes inflicted with impetigo should not compete in contact sports while

tional symptoms, the general laws governing hygienic living should be rigorously Watch the Ears Carefully BY DONALDB. SINCLAIR,M.D., PBINCE1TON UNIVERSITY. The external ear is, to all practical purposes, a salndwich, with a single layer of cartilage between two layers of skin. These layers of skin are not very tightly attached to the cartilage, and any hard rubbing or rolling motion separates the skin from the cartilage, much as the skin of a peach can be rubbed off the fruit. The bleeding caused by this separation, though not visible on the surface, makes a pool of varyiag size between the skin and cartilage, and, if not properly and promptly treated, the blood first clots, and then changes into definite solid tissue, making that part of the ear hard and thick-the familiar cauliflower ear. The treatment of this condition divides itself naturally into two classes- prevention and cure. In the realm of prevention, there are several designs of helmets which can be used in practice, to avoid the development of a large number of injured ears. After the first injury, however, when the hematoma, or blood clot, has been formed, the need for cure appears, and it is here that most of the bad results that one sees, have their start. The ideal treatment of the condition, from this point on, consists of two parts : (1) relief of the swelling already formed, and (2) avoidance of further injury, until the affected part has had a chance to return to normal. The swelling can best be relieved by the immediate removal of the blood under the skin. This is most satisfactorily accomplished by aspira-' tion of the fluid blood with an ordinary hypodermic needle and syringe; but this must be done under strict aseptic precautions, and by a properly qualified doctor, for the danger of infection in freshly damaged tissue is very great. A presswe dressing is then applied, to prevent further seepage of blood or serum between the skin and cartilage. This dressing may be of a number of types: pads of gauze, held in place with tight adhesive strips, with or without the addition of sponge rubber pads for additional pressure ; or a pad of cotton and collodion, applied to the whole ear, from the middle out to the surface, in thin layers laid on successively. each layer being allowed to harden before the next is applied. The latter type is probably more comfortable than the dressing of gauze with tight pressure, but in severe cases the heavier pressure may be found necessary, at least for a time. In mild cases this treatment alone -aspiration plus the collodion dressing-may be sufficient. In severe cases it may be necessary to have the ear aspirated a number of times, to get rid of the serum that will collect, even after all active bleeding has ceased ; the pressure bandage being replaced immediately after each aspiration. In the meantime, until the ear has returned to normal, and all tendency to fill up again has disappeared, the wrestler must not risk any further injury, either refraining from wrestling altogether, or doing so only with adequate protection in the form of a headguard. An ear which has already reached the typical cauliflower stage-hard, de- formed and hideous-can be repaired and brought back nearly, 1% not quite. to normal contours, through the services of a capable and experienced plastic surgeon. . detail was that of ma&ing weights. Our first interest should be for the welfare of our young athlete, not only to . protect him by having specified weight classes, but to prevent any drastic meas- , ures which, when used, find him in a lower weight class than the one in which he . naturally should be placed. There is no objection to conditioning a man who has gained weight during the summer holidays. In this group, the training process,

' no matter what department of physical exercise he selects, takes care of itself. Our endeavor is to protect the man who is down to his best weight but yet finds

-.I where the necessity of "making weights" is required. ' The process known in the medical discussions as dehydration is the removal of body fluids to a point where first the kidneys, then the heart, and finally, the . muscles, become taxed well beyond their normal physiological limits. Any ath- : lete entering a rigorous contest dehydrated, immediately finds himself at a dis- advantage because of kidney, heart and muscle deficiences. He competes with .. uncertain results as to victory. hnt with definite results as to increasing the , strain on these three groups of tissues. Any injury which may not be fully recognized at the moment often forms the basis for true pathological conditions

ning team, the Eastern Intercollegiate Wrestling Association adopted two new . qules governing their intercollegiate championships : i.e., (1) Net weights for intercollegiate wrestling on the das before the finals and one pound allowance , on the day of the finals ; (2) The "weighing-in" time to be not longer than thrge ,? , hours before the contest. By circumscribing these two mooted questions of ' . ' "making weight" and "weighing-in" time with the foregoing rules of limitation, it is hoped to prevent any further practices which an indifferent coach or captain may'be guilty of exercisjng in future contests. Many coaches have learned to their sorrow that this practice has so enervated their prospect in the class on- ' tered, that he has failed to make a good showing, which condition would not have , maintained had he been in his best physical condition, even in a higher class. - These points cannot be emphasized too strongly, and it is the hope that al'l : coaching forces interested in wrestling, boxing and 150-pound crews, etc., will. ' , have this matter brought very definitely to their attention. It is a subject which should have the sanction of all the prominent medical advisors. . The National Intercollegiate Rowing Association in 1925, after an extended discussion on this subject, voted for net weights in their 150-pound crews. In - eight-oared shells it is an advantage to have extra weight in the waist of the ., boat. To meet this necessity, a 5-pound overweight allowance is permitted for .' those men bccupying this position. The sum total of the eight men. however, 2 . must be an average of not more than 150 pounds per man. At this time, emphasis was placed on the permanent injury 'which may and does come to athletes who force themselves to a weight below their best and safe physical efforts. The N.C.A.A. Wrestling Rules Committee recently suggested that the coaches' association send out a questionnaire dealing with injuries caused while wrep tling. Thia questionnaire was compiled and mailed to approximately a hundred coaches in colleges, athletic clubs, Y.M.C.A.'s and high schools. Few responded with information, due either to lack of interest or because they felt the iu- formation of no moment, or it might have been that they had no injuries to report. The fact that coaches who returned blanks had charge of approxi- mately a thousand wrestlers, ranging in age from 17 to 24, the average being 20 years, and their weights varying from 95 to 200, with an average of 145 pounds, may be of interest. There were more injuries in the lighter four weights than in the heavier classes. Of course there are more wrestlers in the lighter weights in all schools. Considering the number of injuries among this one thousand men partihipat- ; ing in wrestling, it may be truthfully said that incapacities were very few when compared with a majority of other sports, and certainly there have been practically no serious or permanent injuries. Cauliflower ears take first rank in the number of injuries, and this probably is the most serious objection that can be brought up against this ancient sport. Infections caused by improper care of mat burns, scratches, etc., come seCond. It is brought out that unsanitary rooms, mat covers and unclean clothes are a great factor in these infections. Broken bones, dislocations and sprains come next in order, and these are caused primarily by body slams, use of wristlocks or hammerlocks, or tripping over loose mat covers and falling to mat. Practi- cally all dislocations occurred at the elbow, and sprains at the shoulder. As may be expected, the greater number of injuries occur to beginners or those . who are not in the best of physical and, it might be said, mental condition, The general causes of injuries as reported by the coaches were as follows : Use of headlocks, body slams, head scissors, keylock, wristlock, falling on shoulder or elbow, falling or tripping over loose covers, improper use of switch, blocking the wristlock, and falling on bare floors, surrounding the mat proper. One case of cauliflower ears was caused by wrestling while the ears were frozen, and another reported that "plain, dumb clumsiness" caused a dislocated elbow. It is interesting to note that a large majority of injuries were received when the injured man was in defense. It would seem then that we should train and coach our men to use offensive tactics more than they have in the past. Holds used when injuries occurred were declared legal in practically all cases ; only two were noted otherwise. It was while at practice that most injuries took place. Possibly wrestling too carelessly or loosely, or being unfamiliar with the dangers, caused the acci- dents. There were as many mishaps in the early part of the bouts as in the latter part. Strange as it may seem, most injuries occurred in the latter part of the season at a time when the men are supposed to be in the best condition. None of the coaches admitted their men were wrestling with superior opponents. It might be the "tougher competition," or it might be carelessness or staleness, when a greater number of accidents occur in the latter part oi thei Beason. ' "Compel the oficials to learn the rules and enforce them as they should be." : ' "Eliminate the head scissors; it is a dangerous hold and repulsive to the spectators; too many bad ears result from its use." . "No injuries to speak of this year; a couple of bad ears caused by head - ~cissorsand headlocks ; cut out the head scissors."

; , "Unrestrained and impetuous eagerness among beginners has been largely

''i cause of injuries. Infections and boils can be educated out .of the wrestling busi- ness. Wrestling half speed causes most injuries, or the misuse of &istlocks." "Prohibit double bar arm over head ; educate the referee more ; prohibit use of scissors for punishment; compel coaches to submit lineup at least one-half , hoar before meet starts."

One of the more serious sides and more harmful phases of the game is the i . unforgiveable excessive weight reduction as practiced by a few thoughtless , coaches. There probably isn't another single factor that parents and physical - education authorities object to In wrestling &sthis malicious practice ;any num- 4,-.her of cases may be mentioned where during "college days" a boy has been ' swrvdd and dried out t.a such an extent that he never returned to normal weight. . The Big Six conference directors, seeing the dangers, have made a move in the ' right direction when a ruling was passed in the spring of 1935, compelling drest- 'i-lers to weigh in not earlier than one hour before competition begins. This should ;"' to a great extent, stop this obnoxious practice and should equalize competition.

-2 I BY W. AUSTINBISHOP, SECRETARY,WYOMING SEMINARY, KINGSTON, PA. The American Amateur Wrestling Coaches Association, organized several years ago to promote the interests of amateur wrestling throughout the couzrtry, seeks the membership and wholehearted support and active cooperation of all - persons directly or indirectly engaged in coaching, teaching, or promoting the

As an institution for direct and concerted action in behalf of amateur wrest- ling and its wholesome development, the Association has been making a valuable contribution. As a clearing house for the dissemination of such useful and interesting information as the coaches desire, it will continue to serve. The annual meeting of the Association is held at and in conjunction with the N.C.A.A. meet and has proven in itself, a strong inducement to attend. It has even been suggested that an additional meeting be held each year in connection with the football coaches' meeting in New York. The officers of the Association will welcome any further suggestions along this line. The theme of the last meeting, held at the Bethlehem Club, March 18, 1936, was, "How May Amateur Wrestling Be Made More Popular ?" Among the sug- gestions made, were : (1) Secure more extensive and effective publicity. (2) Educate the American public to differentiate between professional . and amateur wrestling. (3) Wrestling fans are made, not born; use every possible means to teach them the game. (4) Insist on rigid enforcement of essential sanitary precautions. Interesting and worthwhile discussion upon these subjects followed and will be treated at greater length in one of the Association "Bulletins." Meanwhile coaches are urged to send all' types of information, ideas, experiences, etc., to the Secretary. He, in turn, will incorporhte such information in the Bulletins which the members will receive from time to time throughout the year. Re- member that the success of this publication will depend in a large measure upon the support of the members-their dues and the news thei furnish for distri- bution. Wayne Martin, winner of the 334-lb. championship in the N.C.A.A. meet at Washington and Lee University, Lexington, Virginia, was presented with the Coaches' Trophy as the outstanding contestant in the 1936 championships. The following officers were elected and installed for the year 1936-37: Presi- , dent, Paul V. Keen, University of Oklahoma, Norman, Okla. ; Vice-mesident, William Sheridan, Lehigh University, Bethlehem, Pa. ; Secretary-Treasurer, W. . Austin Bishop, Wyoming Seminary, Kingston, Pa. . BY DR. R. G. CLAPP, Hepretary Amqican Olympic Wrestling Committee. BY W. 3. THOM,COACH AMEBICAN OLYMPIC TEAM. l> .Y Presenting a time picture of wrestling in the Olympics is very dithcolt. The ij statement of facts may dampen wrestling enthusiasm, but is necessary to show $ the need far iplprovement in this worldwide to~mament. The officiating in general was very unsatisfactory, except where the watch or ,- measure were used to determine first place This was true in wrestling boxing, .! fepcing gymnastics and any sport in which'first place was determined b$ ~udges. . .. In wredtling the United States is not the only country that feels this way, but England, ~ahada,Australia, India, Japan, and, in general, the English speak- ing people have the same opinion *$ withod a doubt, the ~uro~eancontinent is Greco-Roman minded i~ their wrestling. They had this particular style for years before adepttng the catch- as-catc-h-can style, and nght now it is evident that a great many favor the Greco-Roman wrestling. Practically the same officials that judged in the Greco- '' Roman tournament also acted in thqt capacity iq the free style wrestling. As a -: great many of these men are well along in years, it is easy to see that they were , educated in the Grecq-Roman Style and still favor that type. It was also very evigent that there is a clqse association of all the Eurppep .' countri?~in the tournament and to the writer there was a strong qrejudlce shown in the officiating where the European countries were against other , countries. While they may war against each other, yet many are closely related, t: and all meet each other in dual meets and at the annual European meet ; there- fore, it is noticeable that there is 8, close European association. The only sdutXon the writer can offer to improve this situation is to work \? out an organization of all ,countries except those of the European continent as - he feels that al1,of these other countries would w$lcome stlch an organization and that thew viewpoint woulcl pretty much coincide. Then, with an organiza- tion of this kind, such a group cctuld present their problems to the International ' Rules Committee and get some resalts. It would help tremendously if we could get a pin fall instead of the touch or rolling fall. This point could be won. with a little work, f6r at the last meeting, the touch fal! was voted in by a majority of only one vote. Another big point that the organization could put through, is to confine the judgitag to a few select and competent judges, where some pres- sure could be put on thed and force them to be fair. As it is now, tbete are so - many that there are a great many unfair and incompetent, yet with so great a number, it is hard to put one's finger on the guilty ones. If we could only get these two points it would help a great deal toward satisfyipg all countries, eg- cept those of the Furopem continent and perhaps some of those would favor it If we are not going to attempt some plan of this nature before the 1940 0lYm: A pics in Japan; then we must prenare ourselves to go through another ordeal' . such as the one just experienced. Furthermore, we must prepare our boys with /' a great deal of training in Olympic wrestling as it now exists instead of send- - ing good boys'to slaughter as was done this year. Under a great handicap the United states wrestling team won the team cham- " pionship with a total of nine points Sweden was second with seven Hunga~y ' third with six, and Finland fourth'with five points. The ~merica6Olympic team won the respect of all contestants pnd proved to the crowd that they were - the most scientific in their wrestling. The Europeans were tremendously strong , and demonstrated without ques1tioa a great superiority in strength, while our bops showed a marked superidrfty in) quickness in body and mind. Frank Lewis Oklahoma A& M won first for the United States in the 158 lb class and proved that he is truly a great wrestler. Ross Flood Oklahoma A & M. Francis Millard, North Adams (Mass.). Y.M.C.A. and ~ick'Voliva of 1;diana University were awarded second place in the 123 134 and 1.74 12, ,classes re- . spectively.' A11 of these boys showed a superiorit; of wrestling tichnique 'ana in the minds of a great many should have been firsk. It may interest many to know that the wrestling team won great favor with the Olympic officials and with everyone on the steamer on the way across. At all times they conducted themselves as gentlemen and trained conscientiously. The writer is proud tg have had th?s fine. bunch of boys represent the United States and considers it a great privilege to have coakhed them.

Central State Teachers College of Edmond, Oklahoma, was second, and Oklahoma A.&M,, the defending champion, was third. Wayne Martin, sensational University of Oklahoma 134 lb. wrestler was chosen as the outstanding wrestler of the tour- nament. The 1936 meet served as a semi-final American Olympic tryout, with the first four place winners in each weight qualifying for the final Olympic tryouts. This

' created additional interest in the meet, both from thi standpoint of wrestlers and spectators, and helped to make the meet one of &hebest ever held. Unfavorable weather conditions, with floods in seSeral sections of the country. made it impossible for a number -of teams to get to the meet. However, the Middle West. East and South were well represeneed and competition was of the * highest caliber. This was the first National Collegiate wrestling tournament ever held in the South, and the interest shown, through crowds and gate receipts, was very grati- fying. It will undoubtedly be of 'great help to wrestling in this section where the sport has been developing steadily in high schools and colleges during the past few years.

The coqfer- ence championship matches held at University of Iowa, March 13 and 14, 193& . were particularly good.

In almost all of the weights the winner wa; decided only after a bitter contest and there was not a great deal of difference between the first and second place'men; in some cases even the third place man.

Representative of High *rchooZ Athletic Federation on National Collegiate Wrestling Rules Committee. The reports from the various sections of the nation during the past year are indicative of a very appreciable increase in intramural participation ; and this is particularly true of those sections not previously actiw in secondary school wrestling of any character. Not only is this true of the larger cities and in the so-called "wrestling belt" (Nebraska Oklahomaltnd Iowa) but centkrs hitherto unreported as being active in the siort in any form are Low heard from. The following excerpt from the Toledo (Ohio) schools is but one example of in- creased interest and participation : "While we have not reached the city meet or dual meet stage this year, our high schools have had over three hundred boys in intramural competition during the winter months. This in itself showsethat the sport has reached the recognition stage, and that we believe thls activity to be well worth while and an integral part of our program." Space does ?ot permit of further citation of similar growth in bpth large and small city systems throughout the nation. A conservative estimate of the growth in figures would be 40 per cent. This, to the wrfiter, is more satisfying than a reported increase of dual meet or other competition in Nebraska, Cah- fornia or Mmnesota, for example. The foregoing resume is in no sense to be construed as a denial of the value and inspiration of interscholastic competition. Aside from the inherent value of interschool meets in themselves, the novice or backward boy frequently be- comes interested through the deeds of "the team.:' It may also be said that a school's representative group becomes more proficient if there is sound ihstruc- tion in fundamentals in the intramural program. Each supplements the other. In this age of "robot" aides in every phase of human effqrt, $he writer feels that the necessity for ind~vzdzcalbraln, muscle and nerve initiative on the part of our boys and young men should be encouraged whenever and wherever fea- ' sible, An odd psycholoffy persists as applied to foot ball and individual-combat sports. The average fobot ball follower is rarely aroused when, a player is in- jured * but the boy or young man who becomes hors de combat for the moment, at leak is an occasion for loud criticism, if not condemnation be it in wrest- ling or ioxing. There are more injuries! both temporary and serious, in one foot ball game, than occur in a representative meet on the mat. Adequately super- vised competition, only, is here considered. Of course, the individual alone, and the individual as a cog of the team, when injured, is largely responsible for the spectators' attitude. But if the individual links of our body-politic are not strong entities in themselves, we cannot hope for a sound and thinking democracy. Upon the whole wrestling in the secondary schools of the nation has had a fruitful year. ~rdfessionalwrestling has had both a harmful and a beneficial effect upon the amateurs. In one respect, it goes far beyond true wrestling in that there are few if any rules governing a match ; and conversely, the "pro's" prowess is frequently an incentive to the weak or idle lad who has just drifted along withopt ambition to excel in anything. If it be true that "Those well equipped to fight, fight least," then the inspiration, whether it be from an Earl Caddock or an Olympic vlctor, becomes a real asset to the youth of America. To those instructors and school principals who have encouraged, and worked under severe handicaps, to the end that our boys and young men might ha~e alert minds and skillful bodies to meet life's tests, high credit is due. When the great nations of history lost their physical and mental virility through their neglect of former %wisetraining of their youth, they decayed and fell. May we in of eventual'ear disfigurement.

! p- -'": INTERSCHOLASTIC WRESTLING IN OKLAHOMA BY Art GrSth, Tulsa Central High School. High school wrestling in Oklahoma ranks first in the United States in interest, brand of wrestling and number of participants. There are about one hundred high schools in Oklahoma that feature wrestling with about eighty having full dual meet schedules. Twelve schools took up tAe sport f6r the first time last year. There is not a school in Oklahoma where the sport has once been sponsored that has abandoned it. Twenty junior high schools also have wrestling teams. Wrestling has developed to such an extent that it was found an open state meet would be so large it would work a hardship on a boy going through such ' a tournament. ~onsequkntlythe state was divided into four districts and a tbur-" ; nament held in each, at Geary, Ponca City, Elk City and Tulsa. The total entry . list in these district tournaments numbered 320. Winner and runner-up in each weight were invited to the state meet, held at University of Oklahoma, Norman, $larch 13 and 14, 1936. This state tournament, with eight boys in each weight, was the most evenly contested tournament ever held in Oklahoma, and the class of wrestling the best ever seen in a high school event of its kind. Although no official team championship was awarded, unofficial honors went to Tulsa Cen- tral for the seventh time. Individual winners in each class of the state high school tournament were: 95 1bs.-Parrish (Sand Springs). 105 1bs.-Fagg (Blackwell). 115 1bs.-Sod- owsky (Blackwell). 125 1bs.-Stove (Tulsa). 135 1bs.-Benson (Tulsa). 145 1bs.- Thompson (Hobart). ,155 lbs. Champeau (Norman). 165 lbs. Hitt (Ponca City). 185 1bs.-Harrell (Ardmore). A new organization, the Oklahoma Wrestling Coaches Association, has been organized, with membership open to all college and high school wrestling coaches of the state. Art Griffith, Tulsa, was elected president; Robert Cook, Hobart, vice-president, and Melvin Clodfelter, Ponca City, secretary-treasurer.

By Fred N. Cooper, Fort Dodge. . . - Iowa was one of the pioneers in intbrscholastic high school wrestling and its ' ,popularity.is holding, up well. Iowa has always felt that it was 4he only sport on its program that really gave the little fellow a chance to participate on equal terms with the big fellows. Foot ball coaches throughout the state are coming to recognize in wrestling an excellent developer of linemen. It teaches balance 'and a use of hands and feet that nothing else does quite so well. District tournaments were held last season at Fort Dodge, Council dluffs, Cre~o~andEldora. Thirty-seven schools wrestled dual schedules and thirty.-one ,. sent men to the district sites. 'Fort Dodge, Cherokee, Valley Junction, and,East. Waterloo were district winners. In the final state meet final, held at Iowa Teachers College, Cedar Falls. twenty-four schools were represented and fifteen schools earned-points. Fort Dodge won the state meet, scoring 27 points, and after a very close battle Cherokee gained second place with 16 points, Clarion was close up wits 1'5 and ' Valley Junction came next with 13. Seven schools claimed the ten champions that follow: 85 1bs.-Bell (Clarion). 95 1bs.-Kressley (Waterloo East). 105 1bs.-Pazzi (Valley Junction). 115 1bs.- Sword (Eldora). 125 1bs.-Kuhn (Fort Dodge). 135 1bs.-Morgord (Clarion). 146 1bs.-Runneliote (Mason City). 155 1bs.-George (Cherokee). 165 1bs.- r Grilling (Cherokee).

The greatest obstacle to the growth of wrestling is lack of well trained coaches. *In$iana University is the only teacher training institution in the state which .~~9pareF.its ph~sical eduoation graduates to coach wrestling.

to fit local needs The Denver tiams gave exhibitidns and met a number of teams from other cities interested in starting wrestling. As a climax the Colorado State College of Education, Greeley, decided to hold a state high school wrestling tournament. The Colorado High School Athletic Conference gave sanction to this meet and nine schools were represented. G~eeleyHigh won with 32 points, Olathe was second with 27, Fort Morgan had 20 and Greeley College High 18. Grand Junc- tion, Montrose, Golden, Windsor and Fort Collins also competed. :' :' Due partially to the fact that this tournament was set approximately four ' weeks after the close of the Denver individual championships, and because of previously scheduled departmental activities, it was impossible for the Denver ' high schools to compete. While this condition was not desirable from all points ' of view, it is probable that general interest in future tournaments was increased by the absence of Denver competitors, as they were clearly the outstanding wrestIers in the state. Individual state champions were as follows: 95 1bs.-Graham (Olathe). 105 1bs.-Snyder (Olathe). 115 1bs.-Gardner (Grand Junction). 125 1bs.-Erickson (Greeley). 135 1bs.-Whitehouse (Gree- ley). 145 1bs.-Stephens (Greeley). 155 1bs.-Schauerman (Fort Morgan). 165 1bs.-Myers (Olathe). 185 1bs.-Weigant (College High). In the Denver city championship, North High won. As a team they were . undefeated and had five individual champions, as follows:

Benson Polytechnic of Portland won first places in Ave of the weight groups , - \ and the team championship, with 97 points. Benson also gained a leg on the Bruce E. Thurber cup, a three-year trophy. Point scores of the other competing teams were: Tacoma Lincoln 43, Portland Franklin 35, ~abomaStadium 17, Kuna (Idaho) 16, Salem (Oregon) 15, and Camas 15. Washington School for the Blind, , Oregon School for the Blind and Vancouver (Washington) High School also com- peted.

Painesville and Chardon; although not in Cleveland proper, have been showing exceptional promise for the past few years. Both are east of the city and natur- ally meet as many Cleveland teams as possible each year. The Akron District-has been enjoying a firm growth in interscholastic wrest- ling for the past four years. Last seasoh was a banner one. The seasqn was climaxed by an -Akron city tournament, won by Garfield, which was well sup- ported by the eigh coniplete teams entered. The following high schools had wrestling teams an\ carried a full schedule during the season: Buchtel High, Kenmore North East South West Gpodyear Garfield and Central wads4orth ~igha& ~uy$ho&akalls have~exceptionally strong teams. The latter has met defeat in a dual meet only once 1s three years. Wrestling undoubtedly will be a major sport in this district within the next few years and h~ghschool coaches have.proposed that Kent State University inaugqrate either an ar!nuai Northeastern Ohio high school meet or a state championship tournament. It is very likely that such a.competition will eventu- ate within the next two years. Interest in the Sport already assures the success of such a meet and it also would greatly helpahighschool wrestling in the section. Columbus high schools held their twelfth annual city championship meet, with four teams competing and 60 erltrants. West was victor, after a four-year reign by East. Intramural activity is making marked progress. Also, in several of the Akron junior high schools wrestling fundamentals 'are taught duriqg the regular phy, aical education class periods.

Two other tournaments, one in the suburban Philadelphia region and one in the Pittsburgh area, were also held. All tourna- ments were under the direct supervision of high school authorities and con- ducted in strict accordance with the regulations agreed upon by the group par- ticipating, with emphasis placed upon the necessity for protecting'the health and physical welfare of the individual contestants. Although wrestling is a contact sport, it is undoubtedly one of the finest for the development of the individual athlete along lines of physical skill, mental alertness and sports- manship. The Board also permits district committees to conduct wrestling tourna- ments under Intercollegiate rules, with certain modifications made to fit the needs of high sdhool psrticipar.rs.

INTERSCHOLASTIC WRESTLING IN WESTERN PENNSYLVANIA I.A. LEAGUE By H. A. Fischer, Irwin, Pa. The first season of competitive wrestling sponsored by the W.P.I.A.L., saw twenty-one schools of the district with representative teams competing in dual matches. A championship meet was held in Irwin in March, with 130 entrants for the two-day event. Canonsburg High dominated, with six firsts and two second places, for a total of 53 points. Greensburg was second, with 25, and Trafford third, with 17.

PENNSYLVANIA INTERSCHOLASTIC ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION By W. Austin Bishop, Wyoming Seminary, Kingston, Pa. The 1936 District No. 2 championship tournament, the first high school wrest- ling championship meet ever held in Northeastern Pennsylvania, and the second sponsored by the P.I.A.A., was held at Kingston High School, under the direc- tion of Robert Dawson, District Chairman, and was a highly successful affair. It was regretted, however, that lack of experience deterred a nuinber of repre- sentative local high, schools from competing. Kingston won eight of the nine individual championships scheduled and the team title, with 47 points. Plains was second with 24, and Forty Fort t+ird.with 16.

However, most schools had more dual meets than usual. The finals for the team and individual championships' were held on Friday and Saturday, March 27 and 28, 1936, at the University of Chicago at the end of the dual meet rounds.

The steady growth in interest in wrestling in the Wyoming Valley and North- eastern Pennsylvania generally, was again evidenced in 1936, Wyoming Sem- inary, at Kingston, with an eight-meet varsity schedule andnregularly scheduled meets for its "B" and "C" teams, undertook the largest program. Seminary compet~torsincluded the freshman teams of Columbia, Feiin State, Syracuse, "i ' Temple, Lehigh and Franklin and Marshall, while inclement weather forced the .cancellation of dual meets with Cornell and the United States Military Academy plebes. In the six events contested Wyoming scored 165 points to 41 for opponents. , L' 4 I . k , For tba past tdr:e- years it has been necessary to hold elimination tournament@ , ' - in the city championships because of the great number of competitors.

The whole season was especially interesting, due to the keen competition among the schools. John Hay High School of Cleveland won the district tltle ,' r - with 10 victories and no defeats and also came out victorious with two firsts, somekhing over 3,000 paid admissions Much of the success in wrestling ii the Cleveland district is attributable to : the excellent work of two very active organizations, the Greater Cleveland Wrestling Coaches Association and the Wrestling Coaches and Officials Asso- ciation. The former is an organization of active coaches who are always more than willing to work together for the advancement of wrestling. The Wrestling Coaches and Officials Association holds a clinic once a month, in which various phases of wrestling are discussed and demonstrated and each year awards a medal to the outstanding wrestler in the city tournament. Joe Incorvaia of John Hay was awarded the medal for 1936. As a result of these clinics there is , excellent officiating and almost a total absence of injuries.

HIGH SCHOOL WRESTLING IN AKRON, OHIO By F. F. Ongley, East High School. The second annual high school tournament was held at John R. Buchtel High School March 27 and 28 1936 under the sponsorship of the coaches of the teams entered, and under the kanakement of F. F. Ongley of East High. Eight schools were entered as against five in the previous year, Team and individual cham- pionships were decided by the standing of the varlous schools at the close of the tournament, disregarding standing after dual meets. Tournament standings sub- stantiated the results of dual meets in that the teams ended in exactly the same positions they held after dual meets. Garfield won, with 32 points; East was second, with 31 points, and Kenmore third, with 30 points. By unanimous deci- sion of the scholastic coaches in the Akron area a slight change has been made for this season in scoring points in dual meets. Instead of 3 points for a deci- sion, as is the custom in most leagues, only 2 points will be awarded. This method has been found to be more conducive to inspiring the boys to pin their opponents instead of merely "riding," and has done a great deal to improve the wrestling of the participants as well as in building up spectator interest. Individual cham- pions for 1936 were: . 95 1bs.-P. Weakland (East). 105 1bs.-Graham (North). 115 1bs.-Hubbard (Goodrich). 125 1bs.-4ellars (Kenmore). 135 1bs.-Sibit (Garfield). 145 1bs.- Couvdos (East). 155 1bs.-Gearhart (Garfield). 165 1bs.-Valley (Kenmore).
