Score.

Soacn Sarroll AtklnsonS college OF
Idaho wrestling team added another
scalp to their belt by defeating the
Caldwell Americas Legion team at the
high school gymnasium last Friday
evening by the score of 80 to E. This
makes the third straight victory for
the collegians and the second winning
match this week. Four members of
the college team have not been de-
feated this year. These men are Chill
ton Bryant, Fred Robinson, Irving
Cornell and Captain Jim Jackson The
college weak spot still continues to
be in the lightweight class but Thoro
Bryant at this weight looks like the
best possibility yet produced and with
some more experience should prove a
winner.
The dual meet started out in desul-
tory fashion. Fred Robinson of the
college suffering from stiff leg re-
ceived in the Boise athletic club meet
on the previous Monday evening,
stalled through working for two de-
: cisions over Charles Cupp. Cupp
showed strength and endurance but
very little wrestling knowledge. The
Legion scored early in the evening in
the l35 pound class where Cecil Cupp
won two out of three decisions from
Thoro Bryant. During the second
bout the men did not touch the mat
for single instant but Cupp was
awarded the decision on aggressive
ness. Tis makes Cups second VIC
tory. this year over the college, hav-
ing defeated Edwin Springer in the
high school meet last month.
Up to this time the crowd had a
dull time But commencing with the
IFS pound class, excitement became
the order of the night. Chiffon Bry-
ant, college, met distinct surprise in
Paul Herder, Legion, and had to work
every minute to win the decision in
the first bout of this class. Condition
told the tale in the second bout how
ever, and the collegian pinned his op.
ponent's shoulders to the mat in 3: sc
with bar arm and chancery. Herdei
gives promise with his strength and
speed of developing into real wrest
Ter and gave the college star rea
run for his money.
The l58 pound class developed into
the closest contest of the evening
Irving Cornell, college, found himsel
pitted against a real star in Dalla:
Root and only the regular course o
training through which the colleg'
team is going pulled the victory GU
of the fire for the school boy. Roo
commenced the bout with beautiful
exhibition of sparring but this wa
only the feel-out that each man hat
for his opponent and they were 500
on the mat THE Legion man starte
out strong but Cornell showed sup
eriority in working on the mat an
won the decision in the first bou
The second bout was one of the short
est of the evening when Root afte
being on the defensive, turned the It'd
of battle and won fall in 200. wit
a bar arm and arm scissors. Roc
then played for draw in the thir
bout but Cornell finally secured tn
final fall and match with the sam
hold that had downed him in the pre-
vious match in FIVE minutes, Root
