the league sat on it backward haunch all winter as per usual yelling about lv superior tin Yankees are ma never trying to do anything about xcipt maybe threaten to move a franchise or two The only ex ion is the Cleveland Indians Frank Lane has injected some new t ard of course some new ballplayers into the Tribe and the local iifls are even talking about a pennant This is kind of ridiculous but i

fashion as the rest of the season the Oberlin matmen wound up a year of learning and losing by coming up with eighth place at the Ohio Conference championships last Friday and Saturday Akron University won the conference title Cory Clark sophomore at 177 pounds brought home the only Yeoman medal with a wellbattledfor fourth place in his division Clark like four other Yeoman starters met the top seeded man in his division in his first bout and lost a well fought decision His opponent Ellsworth Mengcs of Ohio Wes Eisenman 41 Rutsky wrestled one more match against bteve Kesselrina of Denison but again cyan later went on to capture the ODDOnpnfs pvnprienee and me in pouna uue tiam menuuniv tr whipped two other men that Menges overpowered but lost a very close decision to Russ Hurd from Hiram in the consolation finals Rutsky Battles Starting with the low weights ride brought him vic tory over the neverquitting Rut sky Jack Kleven at 130 pounds got his first licks in against the top man at his weight and also lost Kleven who has been improving with each match this season the wav ana running tnrougn we nave xne reached his peak in his tourna following results Ed Rutsky also haent grappling His working and meeting the top 123 pound wres powerful wrestling encouraged his tier in tne conierence in nis nrsi teammates and coach Hank Dana match wrestled his hardest of the ceau although both efforts ended year but fell to the greater length in loss and experience of Akrons Ted At 137 Dounds Kit Salter tPam captain followed suit as he met undefeated Bud Ruffnes of Woos The other four clubs of the senior circuit offer about as much ter losing a decision to him in an active match that had an adverse excitement as most of the American League In Cincinnati the good citizens have found out that McCarthy is on longer with us and of ficially changed their names back to the Reds The last few years they have wished to be known as the Redlegs to avoid all trouble This will undoubtedly be their only contribution of the season Back to the Far West where Waller OMallcy has succeeded in swindling the city of Los Angeles almost as badly as he betrayed the Borough of Biooklvn and has walked off with a piece of city land It is probable however the he will not be as victorious on summer ball fields as he was in winter law courts The old guard of the team doesnt seem to care any more Their heart is in a place of bygone days and the younger players are extremely mediocre That leaves the Phillies and the Cubs Here the paucity of talent on the field reflects the paucity of intelligence of the management Phil Wrigley cant read too well and though Bob Carpenter could be thought forward looking because hes contemplating moving his fran chise all the way across the Delaware river he still spends much of his time trying to undo the damage that Branch Rickey and Jackie Robinson did to baseball The Phillies will probably beat out the Cubs unless Ernie Banks has a good season Well thats enough of that nonsense now down to more im Dortant tilings Lets see if OMalley moved to Bangkok and the White Sox went to LA BUDDING WRITERS The Review sports staff has openings for

championship meet last weekend at Kenyon Ahead ofOberlin were Kenyon Ohio Wesleyan and Wittenberg TheYeomen just missed taking third place in the meet whenWittenberg touched out the mermens 400 yard medley relay team There were a total of nine records broken and one tied during the course of the meet Friday and Saturday Oberlins John Laguardia took a fourth place in the opening event Friday the

yardfreestyle as Kenyons Mayher took the honors in a winning time of 2228 Hopes Rise Things began to look up as Munro Meyersburg Steve Gibbs and Stan Swanson took third fifth and sixth places in the

wrestlers Ruffner had to wrestle later that afternoon and was defeated by Jim Black wood of Hiram when he pulled a shoulder muscle Hodous Takes Pin John Hodous at 147 got the only Oberlin pin point by downing Wentworthy Walker in 216 of the third period Hodous then ran into the same lucky streak the rest of the team was enjoying facing Conference champ LarryWormaid of Akron Wormald tookHodous by decision but it was only after one of the most hard fought and interesting matches of the tournament Hodous continued to show the improvement that he has shown in each of his matches and left Wormald respecting his ride and aggressiveness The 157 pound division found Bill Mitchell facing a fast man from Wooster Bill CaleyAlthough Mitchell came out on the short end of a close decision he pushed all the way and had Caley GWILDR00T close to his back several times with a nice series of whizzers and rolls However the Wooster mans quick moving and good balance proved to be successful Mike Margolis going ten pounds out of his weight class for the first time this year met a tough solid Wittenberg man who was able to withstand the most effective whiz zer seen in the tournament and Margolis lost by decision The Crimson wrestler was theaggressor all the way and had hisopponent in trouble several times but was unable to compensate for his lack of weight by excess of ability The Wittenberg wrestler took advantage of the weight dif ference with his defensive style of play Svanoe Wrestles Well At heavyweight Bill Svanoe wrestled his best match of the year in his nrst oout to decision Alf Piflendorfer of Denison He thus gained the privilege of meet ing last years and this years conference champ John Dailey of Akron Daily worked the now tired Svanoe for about five min utes before pinning him Svanoe had to drop out at this point un fortunately to fly to Honolula Hawaii for an operation and could not wrestle in the consolation bouts in which he was favored The final result was loss in one sense but still the team feelsoptimistic because of the caliber of work each did in his bouts and the experience he gained Next year will offer new chances and new faces and backs copped a third place for the event with Kenyon again setting arecord in this event with a time of 332 Mayher of Kenyon winning his second event of the meet tied the conference record for the 200 yard
