red letter day for the Loren M. Trot-
ter post of the American Legion" was
the comment made today BY Manager
Dick Beatty of the local post in speak
ing OF the wrestling dual meet sche-
duled with the college team at the
high school gym this Thursday eve
ming. Personally, can not see
where the college team stands a show
to score a single point continued
Mr.. Beatty, "as we have as good an
amateur team lined up for this meet
as you can find in the state of Idaho
and what is more we are out for
blood, just to show how progressive
an organization the Trotter post of the
American Legion is"
Coach Carroll Atkinson of the col
lege team refused to comment on the
chances of his team. The college
team is putting up d better exhibition
with every appearance they make be-
fore the public and Atkinson is con-
hdent of having one of the best teams
in the west developed by the end of
the season. This is the first year for
the sport at the college but the pub
lie has shown that they are very much
interested in its progress and larger
crowds are being attracted to the high
school gym with every event.
The college will probably stand pat
on their team which wrestled in Boise
last evening unless it is in the light
weight division where the college team
seems shot to pieces. Manager Beat
ty has agreed to allow Coach Akin
son to wrestle in this class himself in
case neither Boal nor Thoro Bryant
are in shape. Atkinson wrestles in
the featherweight division of IFS
pounds but will take on the Legion
13s FOUNDER if he can not dig up an
other entry for this weight.
The remainder of the college team
will probably be Chiffon Bryant in
the LIS pound class, Fred Robinson
in the las pound class, Irving Cornell
in the $50 pound class, Nathan Sic
benberg in the l55 pound class and
Captain Jim Jackson in the us pound
class. All of these men came thru
the Boise athletic club meet some
what battered but without any rush
calls for the ambulance The college
team will loaf this week in order to
get into shape for the Legion men,
Elimination Tonight.
Final elimination contests for places
on the Legion team will be held this
evening at the high school gym. The
favorites to win in this elimination
are Paul Herder or Art Shelton in
the LIS pound class, Cecil Cupp who
recently defeated Springer of the COL
iege, and William Hagerman in the
135 pound class, Kermit Miller or
Bonnie Bardsley in the las pound
class two of the three men, Coy Col
Inns, Wallace Mcdowell and Dallas
F., Root, will be chosen for the two mid
dleweight and it will be between Geo.
Johnson or Ray Burger for honors IN
the light heavyweight division. Wrest-
ling fans consider the Legion to hav.
a strong lineup for their first dual
meet this season.
