Best Man...
"POUND for pound, the best college
wrestler in the United States" ..
that's the distinction that the coach-
es pinned on Ben Bishop, 155-pound
wrestling star from Lehigh Univer-
sity. What's more, he richly deserved
it.
Aggressive, fast and heady, the
trimly built Easterner sailed throug-
his preliminary-bouts in fine shape.
But he ran into a stocky lad ap.
propriately named Stout, from South.
western Teachers' College of Okla.

In Final Round
ack Harrod Loses Close
Decision To Pat Devine,
DefendingChampion
Now there was a match. To me,
it was the outstanding bout of the
entire tournament. Stout was a very ;
tough proposition for his slighter op- i
ponent. He ran up quite a time ad-;
vantage on Bishop, but Bishop fought;
out time and again, breaking clear
at the end of just over five minutes
to clamp a pinning hold on with
lightning-like rapidity and win the
title by stretching Stout .
** *
AS a close second in display of
wrestling skill, I should like to
mention Wayne Martin, of Oklahoma
U. In an exhibition bout (forced by
the injury of Devine of Indiana in
his victory over Harrod of Michigan
yesterday afternoon) with the de-
feated Harrod, Martin pinned the
gamely-fighting Harrod after eight
minutes with a cross-scissors and a
headlock.
AND then honorable m e n t i o n
should go to Ross Flood of Okla-
homna A. & M. who pinned Eldon
Stout of Southwestern Teachers' it
the finals. Another Aggies' man,
Alan Kelley, also deserves honorable
mention for the tourney. Despite
Michigan Capt. Art Mosier's game
struggle in the 145-pound final, Kel-
ley won out by a clear margin to
take the national title.
AGAIN in the honorable mention
list, as in the list of any inter-
collegiate tourney in the last couple
of years, there is the redoubtable
Ralph Teague in the unlimited divi-
sion. Built with all the strength and
fighting-power of a dreadnaught,
Teague was probably the most col-
orful figure in the entire meet.
He was a member of the U. S.
Olympic team in the recent cam-
paign,.and is -just about as effective
in the ring as an army tank. After a
bitter battle by smaller Barney Cos-
neck of Illinois, Teague managed to
catch and pin him after an endeavor
of eight minutes.
To Teague also goes the honor for
the best bon mot of the meet. It
happened this afternoon as he was
atop Otto Kuss, gigantic heavy from
Indiana trying to clamp a hold tight-
ly enough to pin both shoulders to
the mat. It was quite a tussle as
such struggles are, and the crowd
was offering advice, as crowds at a
wrestling match do.
One individual at the ringside par-
ticularly was on his feet and gesticu-
lating wildly in an attempt to tell
Teague what to do. Teague looked
up from his labor with a wry grin
and queried, "Who's doing this, any-
rk #
My friend, Nick Londes, of Detroit,
famed as that city's "premier wrest-
ling promoter," did not show up at
the bouts last night even though Cliff
Keen offered him a free ticket. Ob-
ject of the visit would have been to
discuss a possible rassle between the
Michigan coach and the promoter.
Late reports from the front indicate
that the bout is tabled indefinitely.. .
Oklahoma, the seat of collegiate
wrestling in the country, led the way
into the finals of the National Inter-
collegiate wrestling meeit yesterday
afternoon, placing 10 of her native
sons among the 16 finalists.
Southwestern Teachers College led
the way for the Oklahomans with
four men in the final round, Okla-
homa Aggies followed with three,
Oklahoma University qualified two,
and Central State Teachers account-
ed for the other.
Of the remaining winners of the
semi-final rounds yesterday after-
noon, Indiana University placed three
in the finals, with Michigan, Illinois
and Lehigh each having one repre-
sentative.
Five Champions In Finals
Five champions qualified to de-
fend their titles by winning semi-
final matches: Rex Perry, 118-bound
titleholder, won his afternoon match
by pinning Alvie Natvig with a body
lock; Ross Flood, 126-pound cham-
pion, went to the finals by gaining
a decision over Oliver Cellin; Pat
Devine, 135-pound champion, won a
questionable decision from Jack Har-
rod, Michigan, to go to the finals;
Alan Kelley, who won the 1933 title
at 145-pounds gained a berth in the
finals against Art Mosier, Michigan's
captain, by pinning Perd Hanley with
a body press; and Ralph Teague, un-
limited champion, continued the de-
fense of his crown by pinning Otto
Kuss with a half nelson and a body
lock.
Mosier was the only Wolverine in
the meet to gain a place in the finals.
In the semi-finals, the Michigan
leader won a decision from Bob Lar-
son, of Iowa. The two wrestled on
even terms in the first two minutes,
neither being able to obtain an ad-
vantage.
Mosier Beats Larson
In the first four-minute period,
Mosier secured the advantage and
held it throughout the period. Larson
couldn't hold his advantage in the
second period, and Mosier won his
way to the finals by gaining the
referee's decision.
Harrod's defeat at the hands of De-
vine, the defending champion was a
heart-break for the Wolverine.

Spring practice has swung into full
stride at the Yost Field House with
the arrival of Captain Tom Austin
and several more men from last year's
squad, including Chester Beard, Bill
Borgmann, Willard Hildebrand, Tage
Jacobson, and Eli Soodik.
Hildebrand who starred at tackle
and guard for the Wolverines last
year is again demonstrating his ver-
satility, as a candidate for the full-
back position this spring. Soodik,
a substitute center last fall, is out
for a guard position.
The footballers were going through
hard practices last week in which
blocking was stressed by Coach Kipke.
All of the Varsity squad of last
year with the exception of those out
for other sports are expected to re-
port next week.

Humorous Incidents Relieve
Tension As Wrestlers Groan
Cold Weather
Keeps Baseball
Squad Indoors
This "spring weather" is making
Coach Ray Fisher more desperate on
each succeeding day. Here it is only
two weeks before he will take his
ball team East for a series of seven
games with Eastern collegiate nines,
and his boys haven't been benefitted
by a single day of outdoor practice.
The Eastern teams have been out-
doors for a week already, and they
should be farther along in condition
than the Michigan squad. Coach'
Fisher has threatened to take his
team onto Ferry Field next week,
even if the boys have to throw snow-
balls.
Several of the candidates, most of
them veterans, have been hitting the
ball hard in the cages. Ted Petos-
key is the most able hitter on the
squad at present, followed closely by
Clayt Paulson and Russ Oliver. Avon
Artz, Ted Chapman, Stan Waterbor,
and John Regeczi are also rapidly
finding their eyes.
Of the sophomores, George Ford
has shown the best batting ability,
and it is almost certain that he will
hold down the hot corner, when the
season starts.
"Whitey" Wistert has been seen
pounding the ball in the cages, which
gives the impression that he will
play in the outfield or on first base,
when he isn't pitching.
Besides the lettermen, Wistert,
Patchin, and Tillotson, other pitch-
ers who have shown up well in the
cages are Leslie Fish, Art Settle, Ed
Wilson, Milton Meltzer, and Ronald
Wolf.
The Lundgren family of Ann Arbor
challenges any other group to excell,
or even equal, their athletic record.
Each of the three boys, Richard,
Clarence, and Henry has been captain
of the Ann Arbor High school bas-
ketball team.

Matt Mann, who gets almost as
much publicity as Michigan's "lea-
ther-lunged announcer" as he does
as a coach of championship swim-
ming teams, pulled the prize boner
in the National Wrestling meet Fri-
day afternoon.
The last match of the afternoon's
session was between Hilton Ponto,
Michigan, and Marion Foreman, Uni-
versity of Oklahoma, in the quarter-
finals of the 165-pound division. Nei-
ther could secure an advantage in the
first two minutes, and as a result,
the remaining eight minutes were di-
vided into two, four-minute periods
with the two grapplers taking turns
getting behind the other at the be-
ginning of each period.
Foreman won the toss for the first
period, the advantage enabling him
to pin Ponto in 3:15. Mann, who
evidently was in a hurry to get home
to dinner, jumped to his feet and
announced that Foreman had pinned
Ponto in the last match.
About half of the crowd promptly
left the gym, those near the mat
remaining when they noticed that
the bout was not yet over. Mann
had evidently forgotten that the
other four-minute period had to be
wrestled before the final decision
could be made.
fending champion from S.T.C., Okla.,
attracted the most attention. The
crowd was pulling for the champ to
pin Kuss and he did with a half nel-
son and body lock, much to the de-
light of the spectators.
The most amusing happening in
the two-day meet occurred Friday
night after the 145-pound, match
between Perd Hanley, Northwestern,
and Louis Lomlinson, C.S.T.C., Okla.
The two had wrestled through two
overtime periods with neither getting
much of an advantage and when it
came to making the decision, Kelly,
the referee, was nonplussed as to
whom might be the "winnah." In
order to concentrate better, he
kneeled on the edge of the mat while
he thought it over. Not to be out-
done, Hanley kneeled beside him and
Tomlinson stood in front oa him,
both with belligerent looks in their
eyes. Perhaps Hanley's companion-
ship was too much for Kelly because
the Wildcat got the decision.
The Stouts of Oklahoma are a
clannish family. Three of them rep-
resented Southwestern Teachers Col-
lege in the Nationals: Eldon in the
126-pound class; Ernie in the 135;
and Foy in the 145. Just to make
sure that the family was well repre-
sented, the wife of their elder brother
came along, accompanied by her
young daughter, and the two were
interested and enthusiastic specta-
tors at all the sessions. Those Stouts
are mighty good wrestlers, too.
Oklahoma's Wre stling Mentor,
Uses 4-Year Training Season
Otto Kuss, representing Indiana in
the unlimited class, made himself
quite unpopular with Friday night's
crowd in his quarter-final match
with Chuck Barrett, who wore the
colors of Geneva College. Kuss, a
tall, dark-haired man-mountain, had
Barrett face-down on the mat and
was using a reverse armlock in an
attempt to roll him over for a fall.
The hold carries a terrific amount
of punishment and Barrett finally
"couldn't take it any more" and let
out a hearty bellow. And what a
bellow !
Otto Kelly, who was refereeing,
made Kuss stop this method of tor-
ture, but Chuck was almost out after
that and proved an easy victim to a
half nelson. When Kelly raised
Kuss' arm in victory, the crowd
heartily booed the Hoosier.
In the semi-finals, the bout be-
tween Kuss and Ralph Teague, de-
By FRED BUESSER
Under Coach E. C. Gallagher, Ok-
lahoma A. & M. has produced 40
national champions, 10 Olympic
teams, two world's championships,
and has lost only four dual meets in
19 years. The Aggies ran their string
of unbroken victories up to 74 over
a period of 11 years and have been
defeated only once in dual meets,
since 1920.
Coach Gallagher, in an interview
yesterday, outlined the underlying
causes which have been responsible
for this remarkable wrestling rec-
ord.
As the fundamental keys to the
solution of Oklahoma's extraordinary
success, Coach Gallagher emphasized
the extent to which prep school
wrestling is developed in the cowboy
state, and the intensive period of
training through which every A. & M.
wrestler must pass.
There are a hundred high schools
in the state of Oklahoma where
wrestling is a major sport rating on
an equal basis with football. An an
indication of th ability which these
youngsters acquire, teams from one
or another of the various Oklahoma
schools have won 59 national high
school championships.
To show even more clearly the
strangle hold that Oklahoma has
held over national wrestling Coach
Gallagher pointed out that by actual
figures one-third of the contestants
in the present National meet come
from the state where Indians last ran
wild. In fact it is the spirit of the
pioneers which, in his opinion, en-
ables the boys to willingly submit to
the strict four-year training period
upon which he insists. Summer, win-
ter, spring, and fall Coach Gallagher
insists upon his men keeping in
wrestling condition. There are no
lay-offs. Each man is thus in con-
dition to wrestle at his natural weight
and there is never any of the strain
that goes with sweating off four or
five pounds before a big meet..
Coach Gallagher revealed a most
interesting fact about himself in the
course of the interview. For the past
15 years he has spent two hours a
day in the study of anatomy. He has
come to have a thorough knowledge
of every muscle in the human body
which figures in possible leverage and
he is constantly keeping abreast of
the times in Canada and Europe as
new developments in both anatomy
and psychology are made and trans-
mitted to him. He incorporates
these new ideas into his own teach-
ing principles and by drilling his
men in the scientific application of
the 500 different variations of wrest-
ling holds which they are required
to master, he produces winning teams
year- after year.
Michigan's present wrestling coach
Cliff Keen, was a pupil under Gal-
lagher and was, in the Oklahoma
mentor's opinion, one of the best 150
pound men he ever had.
