Show Varsity Grapplers WRESTLING Followers of the mat game at Utah were not unduly surprised that the Brave tus-slers were relegated to second place from their 1930 Championship. The personnel of the 1931 varsity was but a vestige of that of the previous campaign winner, which fact accounts for matters more eloquently than tedious explanation and apology, nevertheless, Coach Couch molded a worthy squad from some twenty huskies. The Logan invasion was a rebuke to the Utes in meter of 23-11. Larson was the only Redskin to fell an Aggie outright, though Jonas and Roylance won via the decision route. Only one match was staged in Salt Lake during the season, a dual encounter with Young U which terminated t, , r, , in an 18-18 dead- Pi u ( ouell Coach lock. Thatcher, sub- dued Johnson in a clean-cut fall, Detton cast Stevens with little trouble, and Jonas made short work of Rutherford. Larson, in the deciding match of the day, gained only a decision over Richardson. Provo played host to the assembled gladiators in the division meet, and it was oddly coincident that Brigham Young, who could only tie both the Farmers and Braves in dual jousts, should have won by ten points. Eight men were awarded the official "U": Hamada, 118 pounds; Pond, 125; T h a t che r, 135; Captain Detton, 145; Roylance, 155 ; W r a t h a 11, 155; J o n a s, 175 ; Captain-elect Lars o n. heavyweight.
