Is Populr UNC Sport BY RIP SLUSSER UNC Sports Department When the average sports fan hews the word "wrestling" he in stinctively thinks of that strange world of professional activity with its beheemothe who grimace, groan and grunt in a unique brand of entertainment that is a far cry from the intercollegiate spott. The latter is something else again. . From the beginning American college wrestling was designed for the participant rather than the spectator. Therein lies a lot of hope for the physical fitness pro grams. On the other hand, it really is an excellent spectator sport, which can be as exciting as foot ball and basketball games. College wrestling is a uniquely designed activity as American as volleyball a n d basketball. De scended from man's second oldest sport-track was the first-inter collegiate wrestling w a s formu lated by rules made -some 50 years ago. First, they removed all element of "submission holds" from the sport with a blanket rule against winning by physical t h r e a t or punishment. To be more specific, they barred "intentional striking, gouging, kicking, hair pulling, but ting, elbowing, or any intentional act that endangers life or limb." Secondly, two historical forms of wrestling were blended to pro vide a thorough test of the competi tor's skill, strength, balance, and agility. One form was wrestling on the feet, with victory going to the man who tripped his opponent te the ground (Japanese Sumo is of this form). The second was "ground wrestling" in which the object was to prove superiority .by pinning an opponent's shoulders. These two forms are consistently prevalent throughodt the world. In intercollegiate grappling these two forms are joined in a three period bout, similar to three rounds of boxing, but with no rest be tween periods. The two men start on their feet. At the end of three minutes, if a fall has not occurred, the bout is stopped and resumed in a 'ground wrestling" position. The last two periods are "groun~d wres tling" with each man getting one opportunity at least to start on top of his opponent. To clarify this, the man "on bottom" is actually on all fours with his opponent over him with an arm hold. The action is only interrupted by a fall or the end of a period. A fall -- pinning the opponent's shoulders for two seconds-ends the bout at any time, like the knockout in boxing. Taking a foe off his feet, or "reversing" by go ing from the "bottom" to top position in ground wrestling does not stop the action. llowever--and it is here t h a t intercollegiate wrestling has elimi natedl a difficulty that hampers boxing-there is a definite point score awarded by the referee to wairds a dlecision of the victor for each accomplishment: 2 points for a taikedowvn, 1 point for escaping in ground wrestling, 2 points for go ing from bottom to top and "gain ing control" in ground wrestling, 1 point for putting an opponent into a pinning predicament, and 3f points for a "near fall." In addi tion, because "control" of an op ponent is co'nsidered a demonstra tion of superiority, the length of time wvhich each man is on top is recorded.

Robinson may hive to shift to the outfield to replace Jimmy Hunter, a regular last sea i son, who cannot be - counted on because of spring football practice. First base will be filled by one of the five now battling for it. Jerry Stone, Jerry Allen, Charles Bradley, Art Whisnant, and Adolph Grabenstetter-the latter two fro - the basketball team-are all qualv) fied for the position. Whisnant showed considerable promise as a freshman. Corley Dominates Second Second base belong4 to Marion Corley of Lexington. The sopho more is being counted on to add some spark in the Gamecock attack. Shortstop is to be filled by two Columbians-Griff Earhardt and Johnny Fitts-who are adequate for the job but neither are strong hitters. Chester Duke or Dreher and Fred Krasny, provided football doesn't hold Krasny down, are contenders for the third base position. The outfield looks strong except for rightfield. Pete Hudec will hold down left while Mickey Strickland will possibly dominate center. A possibility for right will be Robin son or George Epps. Biggest losses from last year's club are Ken Rosefield of Sumter, Cleon Reece, Bunky Shore, Carroll Norrell, and Dan Morgan, a .342 hitter who signed at contract with i the Yankees.
