CELEBREZZE, Circuit Judge,
(concurring) .
I have significant reservations as to the sufficiency of the evidence of negligent supervision and control by the Appellant of the usual wrestling activities of the Appellee and his classmates. Most of the evidence indicates that the Appellant acted well within the bounds of reasonable care in the execution of its teaching and coaching responsibilities. However, the evidence (1) that the Appellee and his classmates were instructed in a maneuver which was not generally recognized and approved of by qualified experts for young men of the Appellee’s training and (2) that more adequate training by the Appellant might have avoided the eoncededly dangerous and improper somersault type execution of the “agura” alleged to have been made, is sufficient to support the jury’s verdict that the Appellant acted negligently in discharging its duties to the Appellee.
