Sirs:
Thesz will win and maybe then wrestling will be taken a little more seriously,
as it deserves to be.

Sirs:
Marciano is in for quite a surprise but, after all, he asked for it.
C. T. CRANE
Buffalo, N.Y.
Sirs:
It would be Rocky's easiest victory.
EDGAR DAWSON

Sirs:
If it happens, I want to see it. And I can name you the winner right now,
without waiting for the outcome of the match. The winner will be Lou Thesz.

? SI, made
co-promoter by Challenger Marciano, hopes to be at ringside for this odd
combo.—ED.
IN BATTLE
JOINED
Sirs:
I am delighted to see another MATCHWIT SI, Sept. 12). My young son and younger
daughter have very little in common at this stage and little to share in their
different ways of life. MATCHWIT they both enjoyed so much and I am so glad
that you decided to go on with this wonderful puzzle.

Asheville, N.C.
REVIVAL
Sirs:
At last! Having mourned the MATCHWIT as dead I sure am glad that you decided to
revive the two-headed monster. "More, more," says the Jenkins
family.

THE WONDERFUL
WORLD OF WIVES
Sirs:
As my husband will morosely testify, for these past months' life, the wonderful
world of sport and SI all lost their flavor because of the inexplicable and
malicious absence of my very own ewe-lamb : the MATCHWIT. What a pleasant
surprise, especially as it was totally unexpected, to find in the Sept. 12
issue another challenge to my keen mind and hubby's plodding, overmatched gray
cells! I hope I have many more MATCHWITS to look forward to.
PHYLLIS KIRKLAND
Baltimore
? SI, proud of its
invention of the MATCHWIT, will continue to match its readers' wits with it
from time to time. Those who are eager for battle will be pleased to know that
Simon and Schuster published a brand-new collection of 30 MATCHWITS on Sept. 30
(see below).—ED.
THE VIEW FROM NEW
HAVEN
Sirs:
It's very sweet of Herman Hickman to pick Army as one of the 11 top teams (SI,
Sept. 12) but what I fail to grasp is how anyone can compare Army's opposition
with the opposition faced by teams such as Michigan. If Army played a few less
breathers, like Columbia or Syracuse, I fail to see how they could rank that
high.
