The other colleges which the Crimson matmen will encounter in this meet are Brown, Dartmouth, Tufts, M. I. T., and Springfield Y. M. C. A. College. The University team has already defeated Springfield, Tufts, and Brown, and Springfield easily downed the Hanover grapplers, so that the University wrestlers are favored strongly to show up well for the New England championships.
Of the men who will make the trip, Captain B. B. Corson, Occ., is picked as a likely winner in the 125-lb. class. He already has three falls and one decision to his credit. C. P.
