ArmDrag.com is looking for volunteers to help populate the Archives.
We're not only looking for results, but tournament brackets, photos, and
articles as well. Many college and public libraries have microform copies
of complete newspapers dating back over 100 years. In them, you can find
lots of wrestling results. If you enjoy doing research, and you have some time,
make a trip to the library and check it out. Ask a librarian how to get
started and how to print out the articles that you find.

ArmDrag Note: This appears to be an article written the day of the first
ever interscholastic wrestling match in Rochester. ArmDrag has been
unable to locate the results of this meet.

As wrestling has
become so popular among the athletes of the city the high school
students have decided to take up this sort of amusement. Recently an
elimination contest was staged at Charlotte High School at which time
Friga, Holly and Tarrant outclassed the opponents in the different
weights. The winners were presented with a gold watch fob with their
name, school and the date of the match engraved on them. They also will
receive a block "C."
The contest was finished but a short time when a challenge was accepted
from the Rochester Shop School for a match to be staged at Charlotte
High School this evening. Coach Carl G. Chamberlain has had considerable
experience in this line of sport and has developed a fine wrestling
team.
