...Roger Wach suffered a recurrence of his knee injury this week and Dave Coombs, regular 121-pounder, will have to take over at 136.

He should be able to hold his own against the rest of the heavyweight opposition...

At 121, Dave Coombs will carry the Crimson banner for the first time this season. Coombs starred at that weight last winter but Joe Kozol has been operating so far this season...
