This season the wrestlers did not have a flock of opponents as they did last year. Stanford has dropped wrestling from its list of sports, and the Aggie wrestlers had only one competitor, the University of California. The first meet of the season was held March 7 in the Aggie Gym, as a preliminary to the Boxing Meet, with U. C. ttScottyl, Harper upset all the dope when he pinned Captain Kramer of California. This was a big surprise to Captain Kramer and it showed what ttScottyfl the ttsmiling Scotchmanf, can do. Captain gtBillli Giddings, California Aggiek 145- pounder, pinned his man in his usual free and easy style. Gilmore lost a hard struggle to his opponent, Elliot. The California Aggies journeyed to Berkeley on March 15 for the return meet with the University of California, which was held in Harmon Gym. Three main bouts were staged, the Aggies winning all three, and one exhibition bout was put on, the Aggies losing thls to The Un1vers1ty of California. . . Gardner, the 125-pounder, was seen in action for the first time anfl successfully pinned his man in the first few minutes of the bout. Scotty Harper, l35-pounder, came through with another Victory by getting the decision over Elliot, the California man. Captain iiBlll .CxlddlngS, 145- poumler, won his match as was expected fromthe Callfornla inan, .Newby. Gilmore lost to Captain Kramer of the Unlvers1ty of California after a 11' i r . dilgllilgtlllzllifornia Aggie wrestlers would no doubt have been intercol- legiale clmmpions again if it had been poss1ble to hold more meets than were held. Plans are being made to meet more next season. t83l

The season opened February 14-, when the Aggies journeyed to Palo Alto and met the Cardinals in their home ring. ttFerdie,i Milhe was on the winning end, while ttAndyii Bernshouse fought his man to a draw. ttHerbtt Fisher, ttHanktt Jensen, ttDick,t Barlow and ttChasii Beilar lost hard-fought battles to a more experienced quartet of battlers. The second meet was with the University of California in the Aggie Gym. The Aggies took three tights out of seven by clean-cut wins and took one draw. Fred Milhe fought his man to a draw, With Captain ttHcrbt, Spilman, ttMocoii Smith and ttAndytt Bernshouse winning. ttDich Barlow, ttHerbtt Fisher, and Kovacs went down to defeat after some rous- mg engagements.
