East High wrestlers took the second step towards the winning of the city championship yesterday afternoon when they defeated West High grapplers by the score 28 to 16. The meet was close throughout, with first the East Siders winning a match and then the Occidentals. The outcome of the meet depended on the final match, which was between Krepeck, of East High and Bishop, of West. Krepeck, however, who brought honors upon his shoulders in the first mat contest of the season by defeating Bartholomeo, of Technical High, repeated his act yesterday afternoon by throwing the Genesee Street lad in three minutes and thirty-five seconds.

East High was handicapped by the loss of two of its men from the team due to sickness. Paine was unable to wrestle because of the grippe, while Fetterly was out because of an injury sustained to the head, during the Geneva High meet. The big fight of the meet was furnished by Captain Bill Meyers of the Orientals, and Sandholzer, of West, and extra period being necessary to decide the winner. Meyers finally gained the fall from his man when he applied the half Nelson and the crotch hold.

The meet was witnessed by the largest crowd that has turned out to see a scholastic mat tournament between two schools. The boys gymnasium of East High School was filled to capacity and it was required to turn a number away because of lack of room. Bonifiglio and Meriano were the new men to substitute for the sick East High contenders. Dick Daviscourt acted as one of the judges of the meet.
