utes of grappling. His Camera like build failed to hinder the St Lousian who picked him up like a child and spun him about for three complete pivots before he decided to toss him to the mat. Earlier in the grapple Wycoff went head first out of the ring when he missed Malloney's legs in an attempt to down him with his flying tackle. Both boys were given q big hand leaving the ring.
 Mamas Poor Sport.
 Harry Mamas. the Greek Adonis. was given the duke over Fred Ca roni of Lynn, Mass. but the fans booed the verdict as his unsports- manship like tactics with his clean opponent failed to please the audi ence who craved to see his "schnozZle" tore to pieces. Mamas used every deceivab ble trick to beat his Polish opponent
 It was good bout and went biz with the fans as both contestants were in there graphing all the time. flying crotch hold downed Caroni after 31 and half minutes.
 Easy for Italian.
 Tony Catalina had little difficulty falling Bulldog Mallory of Albany who conceded the Italian 35 pounds. Catalina sealed 2l5 pounds and threw the Bulldog in seven and a half minutes. The latter was game. but not strong enough for his husky opponent.
 Jack Ganson of New Haven fitted we'll as referee as did Pete Shea and Mickey Dance who announced and timed. respectively. Another wrest- ling card will be presented in the same hall in two weeks.

WYCOFF THROWS
 BOSTON FRESHMAN : IN STRAIGHT FALLS
St Louis Grid Luminary Makes Impressive ShOw- ing Against Jack Mal- -Mamas Wins the Sen1i=final

A very meager crowd of 'rassle' enthusiasts found their way to Buck ingham hall last night where Pro- moter George Mulligan's initial wrestling card was successfully pre- sented. In the main attraction, Lee Wycoff, handsome and strong St Louis idol, took two straight falls from Irish Jack Malloney of Bos- ton in two tangles which proved very interesting In the other settos, Harry Mamas was awarded the duke over Fred Caroni while Tony Ca- talino downed Bulldog Mallory like nobody's business.
 WycOff is There.
 The former St Louis college grid star made plenty of new friends last night. Fitted against Malloney who tipped the beams at 250 pounds. 35 more than he scaled, Wycoff found the going tough until he hit his real stride. He took the first fall after 2S minutes and 15 seconds using the flying tackleN No turn the trick. The lanky Boston gladiator kissed the canvas so hard it sound ed like Sharkey O'Rourke bouncing few chiselers. He took the sec- ond fall in 14 minutes and 13 sec onds using his famous "Airplane spin to nail Malloney to the can vas

But for pure, old-fashioned, every man-for- himself sort of fighting, a Ranger-Bruin engagement is the Dernier Cri, as they say in the Bow cry.
 The boys have been going at 1t for a goodly number of years now, and things get worse instead of bet ter. This is not hard to explain when it is remembered that the Rangers, no matter how they man. handle the rest of the league, are totally incapable of whipping the Boston outfit. During the last three years the clubs have played sixteen times, and the Rangers standing is three ties and thirteen defeats. In justice to the Rangers let it be said that the bare statistics do not begin to tel the story of how rous- ingly hardfought were all those The records make no mention of such highly unimporfant things as cracked ribs. bashed noses, and miss- ing teeth.
 Rangers Need Win.
 The game tonight is very i'm portant one, especially for the Rangers. For the Rangers are deep down in fourth place, the second time, by the way, they have ever been so low, and rapidly fading out of the playoffs picture. A few more defeats, and the New Workers will have nothing more substantial than la fighting chance to overtake the third place Detroit Falcons. Right now the one-time worlds champion Rangers have but one ambition and that is to land in third place and the play-offs. Which is just as well, for Boston and Chicago are all but certain to take the number one and number two berths.
 Canadiens on Top
 In the International group of the league. Montreals two entries, the Canad and the Maroons, and the Toronto Maple Leafs are favor ed to end the season in the play offs This despite the strong bid being made by the fourth place New York Americans. To-day finds the Cana diens on top with the Maroons and Leafs tied for second place, Toronto plays the weak Ottawa Senators to- night while the Maroons are idl, end should break the second-place e tie. The only other game scheduled for tonight pits the Canadiens against the helpless Philadelr hla Quakcrs. merry time should o5 had by all-the Canadiens.

LINK MAJOR SASSE.
 ARMY COACH, WITH

Providence, Jan 29.-Major Ralph ball team. was yesterday linked with the charges of proselyting laid against the Military academy. A copyrighted article in local even- ing newspaper offered the informa- tion that Cadet Paul Carroll wrote Kenneth Golf, backfield star of Rhode Island State college that Mai Sasse suggested that Golf should communicate with Congressman George Stobbs in order to get an appointment to the academy.
 Despite denials from officials at West Point. the copyrighted articles were accompanied by photostatic copies of letetrs from Carroll to Golf containing what Carroll said were suggestions offered by Sasse.

 In a letter dated January IA Carroll writes of telling Sasse he whole story" and says in part:

 Major Sasse, who was in New York city yesterday, announced that he was drawing up a state ment 10 be issued later concerning the letters said to have been ex- changed between Golf and Carroll.
 West Point. Jan 29.-Ma jor Philip Fleming. graduate manager of ath- letics at the Military academy at the military cademy yesterday issued a statement in answer to the new charges in the .proselyting laid against the Army. in which he said that letter between Cadet Paul and Kenneth Golf were perfectly natural and cannot be construed in any way as an effort to proselyte' ' Flcming's Reply

The Nutmeg State conference through a special committee headed by Principal Walter E. Spencer of the New Haven commercial, togeth- CT with Principals Harold Swaffield of Roger Ludlowe high of Fairfield, James Moore of Bridgeport Central and H. E. Cottle of Bristol, sincerely believe that refereeing should be a mutual affair between the schools and officials.
 No List Submitted
 They argue that the Connecticut conference set out two years ago to record a list of referees satisfactory to the schools rating them on l, 2, 3, basis and that such q list was used last year. This year, how ever, they claim the district boards undertook to prepare their own list, but to date no satisfactory one has been submitted to the conference. This list was to have been drawn up by committee consisting of James Coogan of New Haven. Clyde Waters of Bristol, Leonard Nixon of New Britain and Frank Bergin of New Haven.
 Seek Lower Fees
 Another complaint directed at of ficials is that of referees fees. This is being made by schools be- longing to the conference. In these days of depression the schools claim referees standard fees comes to $10 for one game with another official handling the preliminary. if there be one. They add that two Wears ago s8 was considered an 1, Adequate fee for handling both q main game and prelim. Smaller schools in particular are claiming an injustice is being done them. No Kick Here
 ,s- Naugatuck and Bristol, two of the { best basketba cities in the state, have large incomes from this sport and can afford to pay s2o for cer- tain officials leaving the smaller { schools whose incomes are much less to secure whom they can at the last minute.
 " To Canvass Soon
 ! s 1t is In this way that the Connec- iticut conference which includes little Class C and D schools plus A and F Institutions are clamoring for a show down. A canvass may be made ishortly for a list of officials recon = m ended and a conference will be called of the joint conference com mitsees and district boards regard ing the registration of referees on the matter of fees, hoping to set an average fee for officiating within the reach of all schools.
