Schless to Pilot Yard Wrestlers

Declared ineligible for Varsity competition by the Medical Department, 121-pound Howard H. Schless '46 of Winthrop House and Philadelphia yesterday assumed the duties of Freshman wrestling coach for the 1947-48 season. A letter winner before the war, Schless will take over the post vacated by Jay Thomas.

Hit in the right arm during the war, Schless had the muscles of his upper arm and shoulder blown away, but regained muscular control except for movements above his head. Although he wrestled in a Varsity meet against M.I.T. last year, team doctors felt that further intercollegiate competition might irreparably damage his motion.

Before the war coaches considered Schless one of the top lightweights to wrestle at Harvard in recent years.
