the leap made by George John Heile-
man in one year. Heileman, who is

Two years ago, while playing in

MIDDIES SETTING MARK
BY WORK OF WRES1LERS

ANNAPOLIS, Feb. 12.-The feat of
the Naval Academy wrestling team
in winning every bout from Lehigh
last Saturday, calls attention to the
remarkable performances of the Mid
shipmen in this branch of sport, under
Coach John Schultz. one OF the regular
instructors in physical training at
the Naval Academy. Lehigh had a
strong and well-coached team, in
Guiding Booth, who won the inter
collegiate championship in the unlim-
tied weight class last year Coed, a
point-winner in the 175-pound class.
and other high grade men.
1t has been years since the Naval
Academy lost match in this sport.
and last year they defeated all op-
ponents, Penn State, Yale. Columbia.
Pennsylvania and Lehigh. winning
thirty-two OF the thirty-five bouts.
This is probably a record among the
colleges for seasons work.
