Although making their first ap-

place in the final standings.
The calibre of competition in the
1854 V. F. W.-sponsOred state tour
ney is indicated by the fact the
defending champion, Johnny Muel-
Ter, Of Newark, was himself de-
feated in the finals, losing to an
other Newark entry, Marty Hall.
Mueller reached the finals by de-
feating Milford's Isaacs, who gave
him hard tussle before yielding.

ceived the Governors Trophy from
Governor J. Caleb Boggs and will
now represent Delaware in the
National Championship TOurna-
ment, to be held in Akron, Ohio,
