Byington was put off the collegiate wrestling team because he liked to rough it up too much. Rough Opponent In his opponent Byington will find a wrestler who prefers rough tactics to the simon pure. Doc specializes in the rough stuff and on the coast was considered «the roughest on the mat. He has over 300 bouts to his credit and his favorites are all illegal holds.

The Cadets are pretty weil fixed for kickers in Meyer, Craig and Wilson. Wilson and Meyer seem ca- | pable of taking care of the passing assignment. Early practice at West | Point indicated that Coach David- son was going in her laterals in a big way this season. The Cadets are well-fixed for re- serves—better, perhaps, than at any time during Davidson's regime. But they lack the all-important exper- lencg. A flock of likely-looking youngsters has come up from last year'’s plebe team. Davidson has a squad of 28 from the 1935 yearling squad available for duty, some of them mightly fine prospects. Ockerhauser is likely to give Bob Kasper a rtun for the quarterback berth before the season is far underway. The plebes won four of the'r five games last fall, tying with Kiski school in the other contest. - - MICHAELSONS GOING SOUTH ON VACATION J. C.
