22 WILMETTE LIFE January 4, 1929 ARRVAL SALB Purple Wrestlers · .Look Forward to Successful Year Northwestern university's wrestling prospects are the best in several seasons despite the loss of five letter men who were outstanding in their class last year, according to Coach Orion Stuteville. The Purple has only three letter men back, but thi3 't rio will be augumented by an unusually strong freshman squad. A schedule calling for ten meets will put the Wildcat grapplers to a hard test. George Lafavour of Cushing, Okla., and Bob Miller of Chicago, are twn of the most promising frosh candidates. The latter won the Central A. A. l!. middleweight honon last year, while LaFavour was an all-state interscholastic champion at 115 pounds in his last year as a prep in Oklahoma. Bill Yarnell, 145 pounds, is the only OvERLAND ROUTE letter man back frQm last year, but Ted Hadley, who perform~ in the same class and Laurie Crump, 158 pounds, at:e . letter men from two years ago. The heavyweight prospects will b~ boosted considerably by the addition of Harry Kent, 190 pound tackle, another Oklahoman of repute on tht" mat. He was kept out of wrestling last year by a football injury. Ralph Haug, another lineman from the Wildcat grid squad will replace Heinie Anderson, capt. elect of the Purple eleven who wilt not wrestle this year, as a light heavy. Other freshman numeral winners follow: Frank Wolf an<.l Harry Schr1man, 115 pounds; John Tittle and Mar!< Atwood, 135 pounds; Preston Farley. 145 pounds and Carl Walden, 175 pounds. George Waters who did not compete on the freshman squad is trying out in the 145 pound class. Among the Purple grappling stars from last year who will be missing from the squad this year are Ralph Lupton, undefeated as 115 pound entrant; Rudy Schuler, conference heavyweight champ; Fos!er Rieke, 125 pounds and John Boddie, 145 pounds. The schedule follows : January 14--Iowa State Teachers college at Evanston; February 8-Wlsconsln at Evanston: February 11-Mlchlgan at Evanston ; February 15-0hlo at Columbus ; February 22-Indiana at Bloomingtoll; March 2-Purdue at Lafayette ; March 4-Cornell college at Evanston ; March 15-16-Blg Ten meet at Purdue; March 29-30 . - National Intercollegiate meet at Columbus. New Trier Ready for Winter Sports Series of Epents Winter sports will be in full swing" at New Trier High school next week after the Christmas vacation is over. There will be regular practice for the basketball, swimming and indoor track teams and several games in the advisor room basketball tournament will be played each week. Three important varsity contests are slated for the next seven days. On the first day of school in 1929 the Deerfield quintets are to invade Indian Hill. The lightweight game starts at 4 o'clock. At the same time, Tuesday afternoon, Highland Park's swimmers will splash in Lake New Trier in the first swimming meet of' the season. The Waukegan basketeers are coming to the Leslie F. Gates gymnasium Friday evening. As the Gray-Green cagers, both light and heavy, ran over Deerfield, at home a~d on the Highland Park floor, last year, they expect t~ start the new year with a double victory. Last season's Waukegan quintets were just as damaging to New Trier hopes as were their football teams. After succumbing to the Gray-Green warriors at the beginning of the season, they sprung a whole string of surprises in the return game and gave the Treverians a 32 to 26 licking. On top of that they won another game, 26 to 15, the next week, to put New Trier out of the district Tournament in the first game. The New Trier heavies certainly have plenty of reasons for wanting to clean on the invaders, but they will have to hit a faster pace than they made at Morton if they want to do it. The lights, however, with Saxton and Read bombarding the basket, ought to win their contest. Deerfield's senior swimmers ducked New Trier, 32 to 23, last season, but the juniors out swam the little fish from Deerfield, so a Gray-Green vic tory is probable. It will be a close meet whoever wins, though. -; ,. ., " I Road of Romaace to all the Weet.
