a fine defensive player. He is also a timely rebounder. Jim is only 5'8 tall.Turning to swimming Oshkosh had an over-all regular season mark of 9 - 3. In the conference meet at River Falls last Friday and Saturday they placed second to La Crosse. Two of Oshkosh's finest swimmers, Ralph Truesdill and Tom Thomas became ineligible at the end of last semester. Their loss undoubtedly hurt the squad. '‘With Truesdill and Thomas, plus the performances of our other swimmers, we undoubtedly would have beaten La Crosse” was Oshkosh swimming coach Tom Dezelsky’s comment on Monday morning. The Titan tankers set two conference records in the conference meet. Dave Pol-acheck set a record in the individual medley event, and th 400 yard freestyle relay team of John Bryant, Dave Polacheck, Bill Leichtnam and Bob McRoberts set a new conference record in that event.The wrestling team got off to a slow start this season but finished with a 4 - 4 mark for the season. In the conference tournament held last Friday and Saturday they were no considered much of a threat but they surprised everyone with a third place finish in the tournament.Joe Semrad successfully defended his 115 pound title and Larry Lyden was crowned champion in the 147 pound division. Carl Olson placed third in the 157 pound class and Charles Fatten was second in the 123 pound division.Last season Oshkosh placed eighth in the conference tournament at La Crosse. Considering the third place finish our underdog Titan grapplers came up with in this tournament a lot of credit is certainly due to Coach Brown and his hard-working enthusiastic young wrestlers.
