Japanese stymie Portland all-stars in wrestling meet As part of a cultural exchange program, the all-star Japanese wrestling team visited Portland, taking on the PIL all-star wres tlers Saturday night, and win ning all eight matches. The program was started iri 1963 and is the only sport of fered in Portland high schools which individuals meet each other from different countries in sports competition. Mr. Katoh was the head coach of the all-star team and stayed at the home of Mr. Thomas Niel sen. He was appointed for his position and is not paid. Mr. Ka toh felt that his wrestlers were slower than when they first ar rived in the U.S. when, accord ing to Mr. Nilsen “they were very fast.” Grapplers suffer two losses at hands of Madison, Marshall Varsity grapplers suffered their second setback in one week as they were defeated by Madi son 27-20 and by Marshall 28- 23, losing chances for the Green Division title and for third place in the PIL. According to Coach Shew bert, the meet for the division title could have gone either way. Madison showed real strong wrestlers in the upper weights and these proved to be decisive. Tom Crewsell was the lone Grant wrestler to pin his oppo nent. Tom wrestles in the heavy weight division and he pinned his man in the first round. Madison went on to take sec ond place in the PIL for dual meets. They were beaten by Bill Curry, Frank Quintano, Merle and Craig Johnson, Ricky Durland, Dave Gray, Craig Su- chy, Larry Yakymik, Coach Rob- bert Shewbert and Coach Thom as Nielsen acted as host families for the visitors. Coach Nielsen felt that Dave Gray and Bill Curry were the best wrestlers from Portland, and Kikuo Wada the best wres tler from Japan. It was noted that, like Ameri can boys the Japanese were very interested in girl watching. Dur ing the match when the coach wasn’t looking, wrestlers would take pictures of the rally girls. /J- Franklin last Friday 30-17. Last Friday was the match with Marshall and accompany ing the team to Marshall was the visiting Japanese National wres tling team. The Generals got off to a slow start as Marshall took the first two matches. Gene Kerns pinned his 123 lb. oppo nent and Rick Durland pinned his man at 130 lbs. These were the only two wrestlers to get pins against Marshall. Winning by decisions were Dave Gray at 141 lbs. by a score of 13-11, Mike Reinecker at 148 lbs. by 13-0, and Larry Yakymi at 178 lbs. by a score of 13-5.

Salmon 224-8542 by Jan Kelley Sportsmanship, as defined by Webster, is “conduct becoming to a sportsman, involving honest rivalry and graceful acceptance of results.” Although it is past, our en counter with the Madison Sena tors in basketball two weeks ago will long be remembered as a close and great contest marred by the rudeness of Madison. The most popular yell coming from the Senators seemed to be: Give ’em a “B”, give ’em an “O”, give ’em another “O” and what have you got??? Poor sports manship!!! The Generals in attendance, at first mystified by the babyish behavior, finally chorused in in retaliation. The best retaliation we could offer such behavior would be to laugh in the Senators’ faces, for it is such a childish act that only children would think of doing it. And what a boot! English styling and quality is evident in every classic detail. It's great for every occasion, and it'll deliver on the long wear, too, no matter how tough a pace you set. Ask for the 'George’ boot.
