This will be the 17th ap

their trek through alh slate
in the Portland area and have
defeated every prep team
they have faced. "Tremendous
show'' and "well worth watch
ing" have been comments of
those who have seen the Jap
anese youths perform. They
reportedly have felt the strain
of a gruelling lour ol the slate
but is has not hurt their
wrestling.
Sizable crowds have been
on hand cverwhere they have
been.
The tourini! team met the
Grants Pass Cavemen, defend
ing state champions, last
night, defeating them 26 to 0.
Tomorrow they will be taken
to Klamath Falls for their fi
nal match in the slate.
That the lour was a arrang
ed is result the friendship of
Dr. Dale Thomas, Oregon
Slate university wresling
coach, and Ichiro Uatta, who
is in charge of the visiting
athcleles. Thomas is lour
director. Hatta visited the
Unied Slates with a group
of college w esllers in 11158
Al the l!)l)2 world champion
ship lie mel Dr. Thomas again
and the tour was arranged.
Japan Trip Planned
In a cultural exchange
"home and home" series it
is planned for an Oregon slur
team to visit Japan next sum
mer and tour. Funds from the
matches now being conducted
will go for that purpose. Re
ceipts have been so good that
the Oregon tc;;in may continue
on around the world.
The Japanese boys arc
staying in the homes of mem
bers of wres'ling teams in the
towns they visit.
The series now near com
pletion follows a pattern of
increased amateur wrestling
awareness in this stale.
The cxchi.nge has been
termed "hand (and holds)
represents the first lime a
across the sea." This lour
tour of this extent within one
state has been undertaken.
