freshman wrestlers have gradually begun to round into good shape with a month more of practice be fore the first meet it would seem as if coach sheridan's newest grapplers would b e ready to put on a very credit able exhibition against their prep school adversaries from blair billy sheridan reports a very good turnout both as to quantity and quality of candi dates for all the middleweight classes but as usual the heavy weights are rather scarce also strange to say the 115 and 125 pounders are discouragingly few in number at the present time a goodly number of the lighter men reported at the beginning of the season but have grad ually dropped off since then this decrease in number of men on the mats each afternoon is probably attributable to the fast approach of the mid-year exams and consequently coach sheridan expects that an in creased activity will result im mediately after the first of february the frosh schedule calls for five meets of which three are on foreign mats and freshmen are reminded that try-outs will be held weekly for each sche duled meet and that positions on the team are always open especially are the light and heavyweight classes offering an opportunity
