With injuries and inexperience hampering the West matmen, they will try to break the jinx when they meet East Leyden on the home mats tonight at 7 p.m. A good showing of Maine backers will be needed to help the grapplers overcome the rugged Eagles, always a tough team.

The Westmen downed Proviso 60‑0 in a freak episode whereby Proviso thought that because they had wrestled the day before they didn't have to make weights. Glenbrook trounced the Warriors in the next meet 31‑13.
