BY H. C. BYRD. RESTLING as a college sport seems to be falling by the wayside. Profes- sionally it seems still to be one of the chief “rackets,” but In the colleges, in the South espe- clally, it is falling into djstinct disfavor. Gallaudet is the only local to carry it on with any sys- tematic effort, while in the entire South only five schools had teams to send to a tournament held last Year at Virginia Military Institute. Maryland carried it on last year as & part of its physical education pro- gram, but not much is now being done. ‘Georgetown, George Washington and Catholic University have never at- tempted to enter the sport, or, at least, in recent years. University of Virginia for many years was one of the principal Southern schools .in which wrestling was recog- nized as an intercollegiate sport and in which good schedules were carried out. However, there has mnever been very much interest in it there and a year ago the decision to drop it was Teached. Dropping the sport never caused a ripple on the surface of Vir- ginia’s athletic program. “We dropped wrestling because there was no interest in it at Virginia,” says Athletic Director Jimmy Driver, “and ‘We probably will never again take it up. Not only was there very little interest in the sport, but we actually had diffi- culty getting enough men out for it to make up a team to carry out our schedules. We finally came to the con- clusion that a sport in such & way was a waste of money and not worth while from any point of view.” Many of the Northern colleges still have comprehensive wrestling schedules, but even in them it is not ciaimed that there is any great interest in the sport. However, as a form of physical educa- tion, many think it is one of the best. It has in it the element of physical contact, strenuous competiton, and brings into play all muscles. It would seem 1o be a sport that could ‘well be dovetailed into a system of intra- mural activties, although it apparently 48 too strenuous for the average coliege man and requires more real effort than the average college man desires to put 8 was expected, considering the cali- ber of teams they met, both George ‘Washington and Catholic Univer- sity won their basket ball games last, night without difficulty.
