The team championship was much closer than usual, being won
again by Oklahoma A. & M. College with a total of 19 points, fol-
lowed by Illinois in second place with 15 points and Indiana in
third place with 12 points. Seventeen different institutions scored
points in the meet. Oklahoma A. & M. College won three individual
championships, the University of Illinois two, University of Okla-
homa, Harvard, and Indiana University one each. The cup donated
annually by the College Wrestling Coaches Association to the most
outstanding wrestler in the meet was awarded to Joseph McDaniels
of Oklahoma A. & M. College, who was the National A. A. U.
champion in 1936 and National Collegiate champion in 1937 and
1938 in the 118 pound class.

Films were made of the more interesting contests throughout the
meet, and these films, consisting of four 400 foot 16 mm. reels, are
available for use by colleges or high schools interested, at small
expense.

As usual, the Wrestling Coaches Association held its annual
meeting at this time.

The Wrestling Rules Committee held several meetings from
March 24th to 27th inclusive and made a number of changes in
the rules, the most important of which was the rearrangement of
the lower weight classes. Hereafter, the three lower weight classes
will be 121-Ibs., 128-Ibs., and 136-lbs. instead of 118-Ibs., 126-lbs.,
and 135-lbs. as heretofore. The primary reason for these changes
was that there is a general feeling that there are not any con-
siderable number of men who naturally weigh 118 pounds or less
in college, and that this relatively low weight-class puts a premium
on excessive weight reduction of men who ought to wrestle at a
heavier weight.

R. G. Crapp, Chairman,

the American Olympic Wrestling. Committee, held in Chicago
May 2. Four representatives of the N.C. A.A. attended, along

man of the committee, and representative of the Wrestling Com-
mittee on the American Olympic Committee.
