A former high school boy, Of
Rock Hall Kent county, Nd, has VOL
cutie a reputation as a wrestler.
While in public school, he was able
to down any of his pals land was al
ways looking for tussle.
Graduating, he entered Charlotte
Hall academy; and, during his two
years there, he was never defeated
in a match. Leaving there, he enter
Ell the Severn School, near An
napolis, and for three years, he met
I'll corners, and generally pinned his
nan to the mat, while other wrest-
lers were satisfied with a decisive
victory.
Year after year, he captured his
class championship, competing in the
-12l-pound division, and later gradu-
ating into the lightweight class.
Leaving Severn Sem cl, he entered
West Point Military Academy, and
he is now regular on the wrestling
squad. His most recent accomplish
nent Of note was the winning of his
bout against the ace of the Univer-
sity of Toronto mat team, man
named Adams, credited in some cir
cles with being about the best anna
t'ur at his weight in Canada.
He has never lost match and is a
vtnder at the game.
The name of this youngster is Yer
non Selby son of DR.. and Mrs. Selby
of Rock Hall, Md. Paralleling this
case, is that of Francis Hubert-J ones,
another Maryland boy, who was with
Selby at Charlotte Hall, and Severn.
Afterwards, he entered the Naval
Academy and is winning all his
matches in the 145-pound class. He
differed somewhat in his style from
Se]by, always being satisfied with a
decision fall, while Selby almost pin
ned his mans shoulders to the mat.
Maryland has reason to be proud
o. these boys, and will watch their
athletic careers with interest.
