State-Penn Is Greatest Team In
the East.

Murgantown, Jan. 80. - West Viz
GINA Umv.rsity's matneu VIII make
their debut III the EASTERN "iilS -Four
Of wrestling when thc nightly tUut"d
University OF Pennsylvania oui!It comes
here next saturday night. THIS match
is easily the feature OF the MountaInccr
wrestling schedule, and that II VIII be
the biggest athletic event ever held
here is Il certainty. 1t Is true that tho
Yale University quintet appeared here
/ last season. that Pitt - an annual VS.
/ iiUr. and that several other large lnSiI-
buttons send teams here. but mover in
UNr history ut West Virginia has i uni
>cysity the size and ~tard.HE Of rcnH'
s!lvania ruuSrtcd To send u team here.
prnn's coming marks an epoch n
! West Nirg.njI's athletic history. and
Il is possible that other big wrestling
aud basketball teams Will be brought
here IN the future. Tenn, eSpccIally, IS
ANXIOUS 70 open athletic relations with
tho MOuntaincCrS and has already
granted the Varsity a date on the Red
aud Blue baseball SCHEDULE for thIS
spring.
II seems that man West Virginia
fans do NOT realize how important thv
! l~cun-'Narsity meet really II III iur
eyes OF the sporting world. Penn re-
Gently defeated cornell University Tor
the first time IN athletic history OF
/ the two institutions. and 10y Reason Ga
the victory the outfit has an excellent
! chance of winning the intcr-CVlleGintc
! wrestling championship. Several east
! ern papers believe Penn Will capture
nrSt honorS If the team can get by the
dark horse" which IN this case hap
! pens 10 bc the MountainCccS. Several
prominent eastern sporting writer's have
already predicted the championship
for Penn. If the Red and Blue succeeds
IN downing the Varsity.
Penn will probably hc represented
by the following mon: Cha&S"ms.
! Grant. Bishop. CAPTAIN .Ashby, Irnd'"-
ton. and Ward. These are the grappiors
who earned Penn's first victory at Cor
nell.
Chassons and Sticklcr will oppose
each other in the lis pound class, ana
n lively tussle is expected because
/ stick" Is determined to win after los
Ing two bouts on close decisions.
Scott HouGh is expected to dteat
! Grant. Pcnn'S l25 pound Representatives,
/ Grant lost a decision in tho tornei!
I meet. however. and during the past TWO
! weeks has been working hard 10 defeat
/ Hough, whose ability is krOwn through
out the east.
So far PENIS coach has not named his
man for the l25 pound class. steve
Harrick will carry West N!rEin'a's
colors in that class.
Bishop. who Is the intercollegiate
champion in the l4j pound class Will
/ find Turkovich Il tough customer. ana
; this bout should be one Of the best on
the program.
Captain Ashby will represent Tenn
in the lis pound class and he viii hc
/ opposed by either Mcdonald or Gene
! Grow. The former recently defeated
! Grow in a practice match to determine
the best man for the class, but lHtSrh-
, bcrger's work in the l75 pound class
has proved unsatisfactory, and there
is a possibility that Mcdonald VIII
wrestlc in that division and Grow VIII
once more get y berth on the squad as
u ~15S-poundcr. In this event Gro"
will wrcstlc Ashby and Mcdonald Will
N. pitted against Pcndlcton, PcnnS J."
pound man.
"r:g Joe" Harrlck and Ward, Penns
! famous heavyweight. Hr" slated 20
. meet in he unlimited class. TINS con-
! test will probably be the feature bout
OF tho evening and local fans are oi
! the opinion that HarraCk viii c"n'ii'H"
