O4 WRESTLERS COP 6-5 SEASON Bruce White, red-headed 160 pounder, finds the going rough as the oftensive man attempts to force White's shoulders to the mat for the count. Don Wilcox, 137 lbs. of Boise, tries a halffnelson on his Ricks College opponent during a duo meet between the two schools. Ricks was the hardest opponent Boise met all year, as has been true in previous years. Ed Terry, 152 lbs., and Boise's contribution to the NJCAA wrestling tournament in Worthington, Michigan, releases himself from his opponent in order to gain control. 1967 and 1968 was an unbelievable year not only in wrestling but in football, basketball, and other sport circles as well. The Boise College grapplers were an exceptional crew when compared to Mesa, Ricks, Snow, and Dixie college teams. The Broncos had a heavy- weight who began working for the matmen to keep in condition for spring football. Rodney The Rock Lima began the season as slow as a lineman can be, but by the time for ICAC competition, the likeable Hawaiian had slimmed down to a graceful weight. Rocky will be one to watch next winter. Dennis Ward and Steven Jensen worked well for BC, both fellows were able to pass on information to the other wrestlers. Ron Thomp- son, Dave Simpson, Don Wilcox, Bruce White, Ed Terry, Dave Bayes, Roger Repenn, Don Trent, Tom Wood and Gene Bindreiff are all freshmen who have seen enough this year to be potentially dangerous next season.
