West Is Favored The West, starring Michigan and Ohio State will undoubtedly be fa- vored, but unforeseen complications might arise at any moment. Not that the near-tropical sun and notoriously becoming Florida beauties have any- thing to do with it, but last year both Ohio State and Iowa bolted the meet. This left Michigan holding the bag, and without most of the varsity pres- ent, this unforseen complication made it nigh on impossible for those bronzed lads of the Golden West to' hold the fort (Lauderdale). And so it was written that the East amassed 53 points to the hicks' 37. Last winter Jim Welsh, Bill Beebe, Bob Sauer, Johnny Haigh and Ed Mack were standouts for the West. The hangovers (not meant literally, of course) making the trip this, year are Welsh, Mack and Haigh with physical support from 10 others. But the meet will be inore than fun for the swimmers. It will mean practice in the 50-meter pool at Fort Lauderdale and for those with Olym- pic aspirations it means valuable training. Then, too, when the var- sity meets in Iowa in the long Hawk- eye pool, it will be a valuable asset. For the varsity intends to crack the Iowa pool records in practically every event. After Relay Marks But Iowa marks aren't the only ones that the varsity is going to shoot at. Quoth Matt Mann: "We should. knock off, practically every relay mark in the book. We've got the men and we're going to go after 'em. When asked whether or not this was quotable Matt retorted, "Sure,4 let them know. They'll find out about it sooner or later. If. they can stop us, let them try." The first on the schedule is the mile breast stroke and the, mile back stroke, mile relays which are sure (?) to fall in the Michigan State meet in January. Then the varsity will go after the mile free-style relay in the Minnesota meet.- In any event, Florida will be good practice. Sofiak 2, Rae, Pink 2. Referee, Lane (Cincinnati); pire, Feezle (Indianapolis). all, they will be paced by forward Bob Stewart who was the team's high scorer last season with 140 points. Sweep Scored By Squad Men, In Wrestling Weidig And Lardner Score Impressive Victories I Their Divisions The Varsity wrestling squad's non- letter men made a clean sweep of the University Wrestling Championships yesterday when they concluded the two-day competition at the Field House with victories in- three weight divisions. Rex Lardner at 157 pounds, Carl Mosser at 138 pounds and Tom Weidig at 123 pounds, added to their teammates' four victories of the pre- vious day with convincing triumphs. Lardner Is Extended Lardner faced Doug Jeffrey, a sophomore, in the final round of the 157-pound competition and nearly succeeded in pinning his rival early in the match. But Jeffrey hung on doggedly and forced the match to the limit, with Lardner, due to the near fall, coming out on top, 8 to 5. Mosser, last year's all-campus champion at 135 pounds, won an ag- gressive battle with John Rasch- bacher, a freshman, in the finals to walk off with the 138-pound title. After Raschbacher gained an early lead on a take-down, Mosser came back strongly to take the initiative and win out, 8 to 3. Weidig Impresses Tom Weidig, who will do most of the wrestling in the 121-pound divi- sion for Coach Cliff Keen's Varsity team this year, made short work of his finals opponent, Chuck Reinsch, by pinning him in 2:30 for his team- mates seventh victory in seven starts. Gold medals indicative of the University of Michigan champion- ship will be awarded to each of the 'weight-division winners, who are Tom Weidig, 123; Andy Sawyer, 130; Carl Mosser, 138; Johnny Paup, 147; Rex Lardner, 157; Knobby Knob- loch, 167 and Bill Combs, unlimited.
