his waistline and any rival who tries
to encircle Willie is liable to be
weakened by starvation en- route
and fall easy victim to his guile.
KrouSe's outstanding rival is E. P.
Hipp of Davidson, whom he subdued
last year. Hipp's record shows six
consecutive victories this winter
and he is reported much improved,
but he'll have to be to stay with
the Terp heavyweight.
Capt Don Torrey of North Caro-
lima is the dark horse in this class,
but his supporters are afraid he
doesn't pack enough beef to make
his presence felt in such colossal
company.
Widener, Leites Should Help.
If Mcneil and Krouse come
through it's up to Punch" Widener,
155-pounder, and "Izzy" Leites, 165-
FOUNDER, to pick up at least run
nerup points in their respective
classes to help the cause. The team
championship is decided on basis
of five points for a title winner,
three for runnerup and one for con-
ISOLATION semifinal winners
Widener. although a novice at this
form of elbow bending. has i'm
proved rapidly and Coach Deacon"
Douglas calls him one of the best
rockies he's ever laid eye on. He'll
be tough, but he's in with fast COM
pany at 155 pounds, a class that in
cludes undefeated Roger We'll of
North Carolina and Carter Beamer
OF Virginia Military Institute.
Beamer is coming down peg from
l65-pound ranks, move supposed
to bolster the KaydetS' chances.
Leites is reliable workman,
strong as a whif of garlic and
smooth as a college sophomore's
Zine" He knows his way around
and will be the dark horse of
class in which Sam Gregory of
North Carolina is the tourney
favorite. The presence of Weedie
Huffman of Duke and Bob Schel-
lenberg of Washington and Lee in
the class isn't calculated to help
Leites cause, but Terp supporters
are confident he'll take good care of
himself.
