Mentor Ken Doherty is losing ;plenty of sleep these nights, too . . . . the malcontent is one of the best men who ever raked a broad-jump pit for the Maize and Blue . . . . his timing and poise are the result of many seasons of intensive training This brings to mind the scandal that blasted the campus three years ago when Flash Wojiechowkovski went on a one-man strike and Mentor Doherty had no one who could roll back the iron shot-put ball in a way that could inspire confidence in the cinder aggregation . . . Insiders are agog over a report that there is a dearth of good sophomore cheer- leaders at Dismal Seepage Wesleyan. . . .

Bud Juke of Beta Theta Pi won tho only championship decided last night by pinning Delta sister Babs Kallikak in 53 seconds in the final match in the unlimited weight class. All told,. it took exactly one minute and 55 sec- onds for Juke to throw two opponents and claim the reward. /, However, the quickest job of the evening was turned in by Man Moun- tain (Stranglehold) Mahoney of Phi Gamma Delta who reached the finals in the 175 pound division by pinning Helda Grady of Theta in 20 seconds. Although the Phi Delta Thetas placed five men in the semi-finals, their chances of winning were cinched; by the fact that three of these were competing on one division, the 165 pound damsels. The Betas, on the other hand, showed more evenly dis- tributed strength, placing men in five weight classes.
