Grapplers Tackle UMass Opponent In Fourth Match

The varsity wrestling team travels to Amherst tomorrow to meet the University of Massachusetts wrestlers in an attempt to up its record to 3-1.

It will be the first competition for the grapplers since their Jan. 11 win over a stubbora Cornell squad. The team has been able to practice only about three days a week, and is not in its usual top condition.

Nevertheless, the Crimson is favored to win a close meet. The Univ. of Mass. freshmen were undefeated last year as an ambitious wrestling program was initiated. Some of those wrestlers have mysteriously disappeared, however, so that the varsity team this year is not as strong as it would have been otherwise.

Harvard's only loss was to a surprisingly strong M.I.T. squad. Otherwise, the results have been good. In addition to the win over Cornell, the Crimson downed perennially powerful Franklin & Marshall and captured team prizes in the N.E.A.A.U. tournament in December.

Tomorrow night's meet is at 7:30 p.m.
