defeat at the hands of cornell's crimson-clad for the first time in eleven years the final score of 18-12 indicates that the margin was three falls in the ithaca team's favor as the bouts were split evenly the result was uncertain up to the final heavyweight match when lehigh's joe koran was pinned by what the crowd considered a fluke campbell cornell heavy was behind in score throughout the first two periods and koran was clearly the superior wrestler of the pair as the third period started koran reversed and plac ed campbell in a near pinning position but even as the near capacity crowd roared the cornell wrestler rolled over with a mighty heave and came up with a pinning body press veteran too tough the score as the match went into the final bout was 13-12 for cornell and campbell's five-point er made the margin 18-12 an other fall came in the 175 pound class when lehigh's dave gerb met cornell's 1944 holdover rod ney steiff . gerb a newcomer to the wrestling ranks did not have a chance as he went down before a double bar arm in 1:35 of the second stanza lehigh started off well as bruce hinlein managed to eke out a 3-2 decision over the crimson's kuhl in the 121 pound class cornell's dick wynn gave a remarkable ex hibition of good old fashioned guts as he managed on three occasions to keep his shoulders off the mat when lehigh's bill welliver was applying a rather painful bar arm nelson welliv er's 7-0 victory by decision gives wynn much credit as lehigh's 128 pounder was far above him in continued on page 3 odk prepares to select new men on wednesday january
