LaLumiere 33, South Central 26 LaLumiere Wrestlers Celebrate First Win Over A Marian Team There was bedlam at aLu- miere school Wednesday as the wrestling squad defeated Misha¬ waka Marian, 33 to 19, to give its school its initial triumph over a Marian athletic team after four years of trying in all sports. LaLumiere, just a fraction as big as Marian, had gone 0-3 in baseball and 0-2 in football, basketball and wrestling against Marian in previous athletic meetings. As Coach Dave Kirkby put it, “The win was as big a thing for us yesterday as the South Central game was. It was our first win after four years of trying to beat them in some¬ thing.” The reference to South Central had ■ to do with LaLu- miere’s football triumph over South Central this fall when both were unbeaten. It was the only blemish on the Satellites’ record. Like the South Central grid victory, the wrestling triumph was achieved by coming from behind. Marian jumped into a quick 16-5 lead and still led, 19-10, entering the 145-pound match. But from that point on, the Leopards were unbeatable. Paul Wing, a 6-4, 180-pound sophomore who has been eyed by basketball coach Roir De- Nardo, picked up the clinching victory by pinning his man in 2:26. Coach Kirkby calls - Wing a youngster “with tremendous po¬ tential. He has improved rapid¬ ly in every meet.” Raising their record to 3-0 Wednesday were Doug Given, Jerry Noel, Jim DeMartini, Jim Kunzler and George Frye. Given is 10-0 in his two-year career. All of Frye’s wins have been by pins. The Leopards now stand 2-1 for the season, but will not have another match until Jan. 16 at home against North Liberty. A home match against North Jud- son had been added to the sched¬ ule for Jan. 31 and the basket¬ ball-wrestling doubleheader at Indianapolis Park school March 2 has been changed to Feb. 10.
