Except for two classes, Tech High's wrestlers are favored to carry off championship honors in the finals in the city individual championship wrestling meet which will be held to-night at 8:30 o'clock at Tech High. In five of the nine classes Tech has two men facing second string wrestlers from other schools.

Urbanic and Stendaro, both from Tech are about evenly matched in the 105-pound class and the outcome of the match is a toss up with Stendaro conceded a slight edge on account of his decisive win in the first round over Dentico. Stendaro beat Alcerno, first string man of the Tech team in the semi-final round.

Golamb of Tech is the favorite over Denninger his teammate in the 112 class. Golamb has won all his bouts in convincing style. He upset the dope when he trimmed Polito of East in the semi-final round. Robinson the third Tech man to face a teammate is conceded an easy win over Ebner. He has beaten all opposition to face him in the last two years.

Feary in Weakened Condition

On account of a weakened condition Feary is not the top heavy favorite to win over Goodman, another Tech man, as he was a short time ago in the 135 class. At the start of the meet Feary was expected to have easy sailing to the championship.

Chepanski of Tech is given slight advantage of Matakie of East in the 175 division. He has won all his bouts this year easily. Matakie has one loss registered against him. In a return engagement Culver of West pinned him to the mat. Matakie, however, returned in the city meet to beat Culver by a decision in the semi-final round.

Rosenthal of Monroe is expected to win an easy victory over Margolis of East in the 126 class. Rosenthal in the preliminary round did some great wrestling. Margolis of East, who will face him, is a tough, wiry lad and he might spring a surprise.

Houghling of East who gained a decision over Cocuzzi of West is conceded a victory over Schmidt of West in the 147 class. Houghtling is in his first year of wrestling and in the city tournament showed improved work over what he had previously shown in the inter-school meets. Schmidt is only a second string man and he has only an outside chance to win.

Zimmer of Tech who will face Russel of West in the 160 class is also given the advantage. Zimmer by his victory over Felli who before the City Tournament was expected to win in a walk, showed enough form to win. Russel is another second string Occidental.
