Final arrangements have just been completed by Graduate Manager I if fany for o wrestling meet between the University of Washington and Varsity, in Seattle on February 3<i. Word was reeeived yesterday to this effect from the Seattle manager. This is the first time that an Oregon team has ever competed against the rjvals of the north in this form of sport. Washington has always turned out a very strong mat squad in former years, and undoubtedly will do likewise this Reason. So far little has been done in the way of preparation of the Oregon team. A few men have been turning out since the Christmas holidays, but as a rule very few have answered the call of Coach Grey for recruits. Quite a number of Jast year's men are on hand, hut many more are needed to put the best pos sible team against Dohie’s institution at the northern city. In the featherweight division, Simoii, illegal and Philips are fighting stronf to represent the University. These three inen have been turning out regu larly and competition should be keen iu £he tryouts J. II. McKinney and Powers appear the best in the lightweight division. lioth life out of condition and will require much practice before they will he able to show their strength. In the 135-pound class n large num ber of men arc desirous of milking tlm trip north. IOd i’addcn, lOltner Howard, “Chuck" I Mindoro and Dwight Wilson are the men who arc pitting their strength against each other in the gym nasium each day. 1 Mindoro and Wilson Showed the best form last year, Imt it is doubtful who is to battle in the finals this season. . The weakest division of the entire squad is the light-heavyweight section, 'hum far Harold (irey has been the only ijinn turning out regularly, and it is dow doubtful whether or not. he will he able to compote against the Wash ington contingent. A few weeks before Christmas he was troubled with ap pendicitis and the doctor has ordered him not to wrestle during the coining season. Thus, there is an opening for any man who weighs in the neighbor hood of 11S pounds, regardless of wheth <jr or not he has over seen a mat. ■ Thurston Laraway and Ccorge Taylor are the most likely looking candidates in the heavyweight section. Taylor rep resented the I’niversity in the i >. A. ('. meet last year, but was defeated. About a week before the meet, try outs are to lie held to pick Hie con testants in each division Besides the Washington meet the gmpplers will be pitted against the Cor vallis college some time in February. « l M.
