PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 11-R)-
College wrestling is experiencing its
greatest growth in the east this
year, but the southwest still reigns
supreme in the sport, an official OF
the National Wrestling Coaches as
ISOLATION reported today.
W. Austin Bishop, University OF
Pennsylvania coach and executive
secretary of the National associa'
ton, said a survey showed S35 col
leges and universities in the nation
now support wrestling as compared
with an estimated 100 in 1928. He
termed the mat game zone of the
nations fastest growing sports in
respect to the number of individuals
participating"
Pacing the sports growth, Bishop
said, is the three-state area Of
Pennsylvania, New York and New
Jersey, where a majority of the col
leges now support wrestling and
such teams as Lehigh, Penn State,
Navy and Franklin and Marshall
annually rank with the best in the
country. In addition, he pointed out
all three states now sponsor state
championship meets and the sport
has a prominent place in the ath-
letic programs of most preparatory
schools in the area.
But Bishop held little hope that
the east will ever break the DONNA
ton of southwestern rivals-led by
Oklahoma A. and M.
THE material is too we'll divided

planned. Where one of the many

years, tonight accepted a five-year
contract to serve as director of foot

Shaughnessy gave up a lifetime
sinecure as professor of physical

sion to leave the midway. He de-
clined to disclose the finacial details
of the new contract or whether he
had made up his mind to quit CHI
cago when the schools trustees de-
cided to abandon the sport mad

institution by Amos Alonzo Stage.
The decision of the trustees was
reached last Dec. 81.
Shaughnessy succeeded Stage rs
Chicago's football coach in 1888,
coming from Loyola university at
New Orleans. The Maroon grid
slump already was under way at
that time and, although his teams
were able to salvage a few Big Ten
victories during the career of ALL
America Jay Berwanger in the 1888
IS period, the situation grew stead
lily worse.
Shaughnessy stated he hoped to
continue football coaching for
years to come" and added:
1T is with pleasure that L accept
~Stanford's offer. The opportunity
to continue my career as a football
coach at so fine a university fulfills
my ambitions, which are to remain
in intercollegiate football for manv
years to come"

Young Grappler To Return
For Match With Yugoslav;
Gal Wrestlers On Card

Another of those stellar three-bout
cards is in store for Wilmington
wrestling fans at the Legion field
exhibition building next Tuesday
night.
Mike Miller, wrestling promoter,
announced last night he had COM
pleted arrangements to bring six OF
the best wrestlers seen here to the
ring for next weeks card.
One of the most popular fighters
ever to grapple here will be seen in
the opening match which will pit
Ray Wilmer, former st. Louis wrest-
ling coach and as clean a wrestler
as has hit the ring, against John
G~randovitch, a man who is some
what rougher than Wilmer but who
is fairly popular with the graphing
fans.
The second featured bout of the
night will again pit two women. One
Of these will be Babe Werner, who
last Tuesday night defeated comely
Princess Rose White Cloud. The
Babe is none too popular here be-
cause of the tactics she used Tues
day night.
Her opponent will be Gladys Gil
liam, the gal grappler who met
Mildred Burke in the first women's
bout to be staged here last year
Fans will also recall she is the little
lassie who tore into William Henry
Ezzell, the referee, ripping his shirt
from his back and generally giving
him the worst end of the exchange
Gladys, Miller says, agreed te
come back here to meet the Babe or
only one condition: That William
Henry would referee the bout.
IT don't like his looks and I don't
like him, but I want him to referee
the bout. And if he interferes with
me, I'm going to tear his head off,
she said.
