The game bore no resemblance to that earlier one, however, as the Engineers were never in the lead. Capitalizing on Tech mistakes, Wesleyan rolled to a commanding 25-11 lead at the ten minute mark and from there on the game was never close. The Cardinals continued their hot shooting lor the remainder of the half and left at intermission with a sizeable 47-28 advantage. The tirst part of the second half proved to .be more of the same as Wesleyan Increased Its lead to 73-48 at the three-quarter mark. At this point both coaches began to t;)l].oad their benches and every player on both teams ended up seeing action. Tech actually outscored the Cards 21-lS over this stretch but the game had already t;>ecn dec.lded. Bill Nims was high lor Tech with 17 points.

WPI w ent Into this match weakened considerably py injuries and, In two cases, men who had struggle to make weight in time, but the team showed good depth in winning. URI forfeited its 123 lb. wt. match, Charlie Proctor taking the honors and giving WPT a 5 to 0 advantage from the beginning. The 130 lb. class saw "Jake" Jacobson beaten 13-12 by Paul Gonya in a match of endurance decided by riding time. Don Carlson, wrestling his first varsity match, won the 137 lb. match with a pin .in 2:26 of the second period over Mel Marks. The pin was executed with a o/.1 nelson and a grapevine on the legs. In the 147 lb. class Tom Spargo lost by a pin to one of URI's better wrestlers, Fred MJner. The 157 match saw Drean of WPI outpoint Lepin of URI 10-2. Capt. Drean had the advantage for most of the match but couldn't seem to pin his man. . Ron Tate used his usual style to octpoint Charlie Jones of URI 4-1 in the 167 lb. class. Tata used his obvious strength advantage In gaining the decision. Freshman Hugo Crolt, a little weak from making tbe weight, wrestled a good man but !lnally v.-on on points 3-1 . One of the high points ol the match was a cross-body ride used by Hugo to keep his man down. Hugo Is fast becoming a favorite of the spectators because of his knowledge of the sport. Russ Trask, wrestling above his usual weight class, lost the heavyweight duel to Tom DIPaolo by a score of 7 to 5. The loss can be attributed to the fact that Russ had a moment of carelessness ln the opening moments and was nearly pinned. This 5 point deficit was just too much to make up. It is of interest that there have been a number of recent Inquiries to the spor ts staff of the Tech News concerning the scoring procedure of a wrestling match.
