With Phi Gamma Delta, Kappa Sigma, Sigma Phi Ep- silon, and Sigma Alpha Mu bat-, tling it out in the top division, fraternity wrestling squirmed into the final stages last Thursday. The Fijis stand the best chance for a takedown with four men still in the running of those in final spots. Kappa Sigma has one man in a final post and two still in the semi-finals. SIGMA ALPHA MU has the same standing, one final and two semi-finals, while the Sig Ep team has two men in the finals and one in the semi's. In the 121 pound class the Sammies' Bud Hill and the Sig' Eps' Lloyd Jewell will stalk the lightweight crown. Theta Chi's Merle Englander, entitled to a forfeit win, post-; poned his semi-final match with1 Kappa Sig's Bill Silberburg whoj was bothered by a score shoulder. The other 136 pound final post was filled by Dick LaMont as he downed Charles Lamb of Theta Chi. IN THE 128 pound division, Phi Gam Andy Pringle pinned Ted Ev- erham of Kappa Sig to qualify for the finals clash with Tommy Os- born of Chi Psi who won over Trigon's Dave Hertler. Bill Bowler of ATO was the only qualifying 165-pounder to date as Ben Sloat of Sigma Phi Epsilon was scheduled to meet Harold Raymond of Phi Delta Theta. Bowler downed George Milray of Phi Sigma Kappa in the semi-fiinals.

Paul Hunsberger of Kappa Sigma will grapple with still another Beta, Don Ruschman, to complete the 155-pound semi- finals. One of the Phi Gamma Delta's finalists, Bob Spiegel will con- tend for the 175-pound crown by virtue of his win over Delta Tau Delta's Ralph Straffon. His opponent depends on the outcome of a match between the Sammies' Jerry Morris and anoth- er Phi Gam, Dave Thomas. The unlimited class has pro- ceeded as far as the semi-finals where Sigma Alpha Mu's Dave Gomberg faces DKE's Currie, and Phi Gam's Dick McWilliams takes the mat against Phi Delt's Tom Kelsey. With the precision of a hot iron Williams house steamed over al- most all opposition to qualify seven men in the finals of the Residence Halls wrestling tourna- ment. The Williams grunt-and-gristle machine placed two finalists in the 135-pound class in the persons of A. P. Brunette and Joe Stone. Another Williams man, Carl Guse, will face Dick Thomas of Lloyd in the finals of the 175 pound play- offs. BOB SHARLAND of Williams faces Joe Savin of Tyler in the 128-pound Bob Lamb of Wenley takes the mat against another Williams man, Bob Smith. Hinsdale's Bruce Herriegle topped Len Walsh of Lloyd to grab the right to face Lou Kingscott of Wenley. Kingscott pushed Lloyd Kiberb of Lloyd House out of the running in one of the two matches that didn't include William's final- ists. As it was in the 165 pound class so it was in the 155 pound divi- sion: no Williams. Wenley's Bill Thompson crushed Lynn Marcy of Tyler, while Gordon Meuffane of Cooley topped Bob Wambach of Winchell.

Battling all the way the Theta Chis finally bowed in defeat to the S.A.E.'s in the semi- final round, 37-29. * * * THE OPPONENT for the S.A. E.'s will be determined this week when Phi Kappa Psi takes to the water against Phi Gamma Delta. By hard swimming all the way Phi Kappa Psis nosed out the Delta Kappa Epsilons in the semi-finals by the narrow mar- gin of 4 points (35-31). Phi Gamma Delta is the only house who has had an easy trip to the semi-finals. The Phi Gams left Theta Chi in their wake as they powered over them to a 41- 25 victory.
