PENNSY MATMEN AND
CYNNASTS WERE EASY
Middies Took Their Measure In
Both of Saturdays Contests
PENN GETS BUT ONE BOUT
Wrestling, However, Was of Spirited
Nature and Kept Spectators Keyed
Up Straight Through.

Both the wrestlers and the gym
pasts from Pennsylvania were forced
tC accept defeat at the hands of the
Middies in a spirited set of contests
| at the Academy gymnasium on Sat
| urday afternoon. In the gym contest
the Middies won by 3915 to 1412
points, while the wrestling figures
were 27 to in favor of the Admirals.
The wrestling bouts, as usual, at
| tracted the greatest amount of inter
est, and the Sailor lads won three by
clear falls and gained decisions in
two others, while the four points reg
istered by the Quakers were the re-
suit of a decision. Five points were
awarded for fall and four for deci-
sions. The time limit of all of the
bouts was nine minutes, and while
three of them were spiritedly contest
ed, none required an extra period of
time for the referee to render his
decision.
The Quakers went into the lead in
the scoring when Gerson won the ini-
tial bout in the 119-pound class from
Avery, but after that the future ma
val officers had matters pretty much
their own way. Probably the most in
teresting of the bouts from the stand.
point of knowledge of the clever part
of the mat game was that been II. H.
Anderson, Navy, and Ketterer, cap
tain of the Pennsylvanians, in the 139-
pound class These grapplers fur
nished some real thrills, but the Navy
man showed a bit more aggressiveness
and twice had his opponent in dan
gerous quarters, but was unable to
pin his shoulders. He won the deci-
sion by hair. Egss
Short, Navy, and Hyman, Pennsyl-
vania, also furnished a good bout in
the 149-pound class. In the 15S-pound
event Captain Redman, of the Navy,
proved the master of his opponent,
Stauch, and gained a fall in four min
utes and SO seconds. Hill, Navy, also
secured a fall over Kerfoot, in four
minutes and % seconds in the 175-
pound event In the unlimited weight
event. Maichle made quick work of
his opponent, Wolfe, throwing him in
the quick time of 50 seconds
In justice to the Pennsylvanians, it
must be said that they were somewhat
outweighed in the two heavy events,
but in the other bouts the contestants
were very evenly matched. The Mid
| dies went at their work with a dash
characteristics of the careful tutelage
of their veteran coach Schultz.
The gymnastic meet was the season
opener for the Middies, and they, too,
| virtually won in a walk, in spite of
the good work displayed by the Quak-
/ ers. The Middies showed to greater
advantage on the horizontal bar and
in the tumbling events, in which they
captured all three places, and they
| also took first and second on the side
horse. The Quakers took first in the
exercises on the parallel bars and the
club swinging, but apart from these
performances they ewre outclassed,
although the work of Fitchett, who
got second on the flying rings, was
noteworthy The summary:
