continuing until 5 30 p.m on am heck announcer by mario r d antonio tomorow's wrestling matches at navy will be broadcast to lehigh men through the courtesy of the interfraternity council this meet is slated to be one of the outstand ing athletic events of the year for lehigh as neither navy nor le high has been defeated during this season billy sheridan says the matches will be no pushover how ever with a characteristic smile he stated that he is confident of lehigh's ability navy undefeated for six years the navy team has been unde feeated in dual type meets in the last six years during this period they have not met lehigh matmen the main reason the two rivals did not come together was that le high dwindled down to a very small enrollment while navy kept its normal pace during the war years this then is no criteria for judging the recent records of the teams but for whichever side it is seen the meet will be worth while listening to and may well become a classic of the 48

has been put on by a group of lehigh men other programs have been sponsored by various lehigh organizations but none have assumed so great a cost and for the same type purpose usual ly wgpa sponsors
