Bob Pickett puts his wrestlers on display before the home crowd for the first time this afternoon, when they oppose Boston University at 3 p.m. in the Block-house. The varsity match will be preceded by a bout which sends the freshmen against the U.S. Naval School of Newport.
Harvard does not figure to have too much trouble with the Terriers, whose chief sources of strength come at 147 and 177. Icke Iben represents the Crimson at the lower weight and Frank Dunbaugh, a senior with no previous varsity experience, replaces Dave Waring at 177. Waring suffered an injury during his M.I.T. match which may keep him out for the rest of the season.
Shapire May Enter
Pickett may make one other change in his lineup. Bud Adams is the regular at 137, but if all goes well in the first two bouts the coach may insert Dave Shapire in order to give him some much-needed experience. The rest of the lineup remains constant: it is generally improved since last Saturday, and Iben and Ted Anderson, in particular, are in better shape than they were against Tech.
Freshman coach Howie Houston will use now men at 130 (Frank Lombardi), 147 (Myles Cunningham), and unlimited (John Rosenthal). In addition, there will be a 191-pound affair for the freshman match only, and Tony Caimi, quarterback on the football team, will fill the post for Harvard. The Naval School is an unknown quantity; it is a prep school and competes against teams like Tabor.
