HARTNETT WILL MANAGE GRAPPLERS THIS SEASON

John Edward Hartnett Jr. '29, of Dorchester, has just been appointed manager of the University wrestling team, in the absence of J. P. Skinner '29, former manager. The appointment is subject to confirmation by the Committee on the Regulation of Athletic Sports.

The New England championship wrestling team of last year, the first Harvard group of grapplers ever to defeat Yale in the history of the sport in the University, has this year dwindled to only three men. These last year's lettermen, Captain Joseph Lifrak '29, J. H. Burns '30, and Nathanfel Warner '30, will form a nucleus around which the rest of the 1928-29 team will be moulded.

One of the names most missed in the Harvard lineup when the matmen encounter the M. I. T. grapplers in the first meet on January 5, will be that of J. F. Solano '30, last year's undefeated New England champion. Solano is now at the University of Paris on the Littauer Scholarship. C. C. Corson '28, New England champion for two years, and T. D. Howe '28 are others whose services will be missed.
