Swimmers Maul Wake

By Hugh Antrim
Cavalier Daily Staff Writer

Five records fell in the Memorial
Gym puddle pool Friday afternoon
as the mermen floated past Wake
Forest 80-24. Virginia took 11 first
places in the 11 events held in the
stately, if not dank, natatorium in
winning its second meet in as many
outings. The Demon Deacs were
just no match for Coach Ralph

Law's swimmers, and probably will
not come back to Charlottesville
looking for any more goldfish.

Alex Shaw, a first-year man
from Washington, D.C., was responsible
for breaking two of the
five records set on Friday. He
traversed 1,000 yards in 11:35.5, a
new University and pool record,
bettering his old mark set against
VPI last week; and he swam the
500 Freestyle in 5:34.8, a new
Virginia record. Coach Law lauded
Shaw's performance saying "[He's
the] best distance swimmer that
Virginia has ever had, and there's
no doubt about it."

Nelson Workman tied the school
mark in the 50 yard freestyle with
the time of 23.2. Workman, a
third-year swimmer, towers over
the murky waters at 6-0 and 175
pounds.

Gary Chewning, yet another
first-year student breezed down
200 yards of the Butterfly in the
record tying time of 2:16.0. This
merman doesn't tower over anybody
but the opposition with his
dimensions of 5-8 and 120 pounds.

Steve Remine sprang from the
one meter diving board six times
for a total of 213 points. His
talented effort broke the old record
of 199.9 points set last year.

When confronted with the five
new records and the mismatched
80-24 count it was all Coach Law
could do to utter, "I'm overwhelmed."
The mermen take to the
road today and meet Old Dominion
this afternoon before facing William
and Mary tomorrow in Williamsburg.
Old Dominion is more or less building toward the future, and
there is reason to expect that Virginia
will get win number three.
William and Mary offers quite a
challenge, however, and hopes are
high that Coach Law will be overwhelmed
again come Wednesday
afternoon.

Wolfpack Grapplers
Whip Cavaliers, 20-6

Before a small but vocal
audience at University Hall last
night, N. C. State handed Virginia a
20-6 wrestling defeat. The
Wolfpack accomplished this by
winning one pin and five decisions.

The matches were characterized
by close, hard-fought battles N. C.
State's experienced grapplers used
good moves and determination to
come through on top.

In the 123 division, Virginia's
Warren Clark outlasted a second
period back ride by Jeff Rule to
take the decision. Clark competed
fiercely in the third round and drew
blood from Rule.

John Pitas could not hold the
Wolfpack's letterman Jim Pace in
the 130 pound class and lost on an
8-2 decision.

Tom Moore In 152 Pound Division Lost Close Decision

Cavaliers Lost Other Close Decisions To Lose Match By 20-6

Next, the Cavaliers' John
proved a fast and slippery wrestler
in making points for the escape. N.
C. State 137 pound grappler, Bob
Lewis, had no advantage on riding
time and dropped a close decision
to give the Cavaliers the lead, 6-3.

The only pin of the match came
in the 145 pound division. State's
Allen Brawley was quick and strong
as he pinned Dixon Brown in the
second period in an even and fast
contest up until the pin.

Virginia grappler, Tom Moore,
in the 152 pound weight class went
after Mike Couch with aggression
and speed. Moore continued to
hold an edge in points until the last
round when Couch escaped Moore's
hold and tied the score. Couch took
the decision on riding time he had
gained in the last period. In the 160
pound division Virginia's Peter
Faber held off Bob Reeder in a low
scoring match, and eventually lost
yet another close decision when

Reeder was awarded a point for
Faber stalling.

Ted Moore turned the situation
around for Virginia in the next
match as he decisioned State's Bob
Harry. Moore won by 8-7 only after
he had been given two points for
riding time over Harry.

Cavalier Wait Bohren then took
on Bob's brother, Ben Harry, in the
177 weight class. Ignoring the
"psyche" Bohren tried to put on
him, Harry won the decision after a
tiring battle.

Conrad Hicks finished the
Wolfpack's winning night at U. Hall
when he decisioned Dick Opp in
the heavyweight class. The final
score stood, 20-6, N. C. State.

This leaves the Cavaliers with a
1-1 season in the conference after
last week's win over Duke.

The next match will be after the
Virginia-South Carolina basketball
game Saturday night. The Cavaliers
will take on Gettysburg College.

DICK DIVENZIO—

Duke's hot shooting little guard from Ambridge,
Pa. should provide the Blue Devils with plenty of outside
shooting power when they meet the Cavaliers in University Hall
Wednesday night. Duke has been placed in the top twenty by
most polls, and thus shapes up as prime upset material for Bill
Gibson's Wahoos.
