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.

Tech High wrestlers continue to show class in the city Public High School
championship meet in Tech High gymnasium, no less than ten of the seventeen Tech
men to survive the first day's wrestling emerging winners in yesterday's
matches, which went through the semi-final round. Of the eleven West High
athletes who survived the first round, only two remain, while three Orientals of
the seven to come through the first round are still in the running. Monroe has
one lone survivor in the finals.
The state of affairs assures Tech High of four champions with no gamble at all.
The Red and Gray athletes will not carry off the major share of the titles in
the nine classes. One victory in the other five classes will give Tech the big
edge.
The matches yesterday were marked by upsets, the biggest of which was the defeat
of Felli, West High, by Zimmer, Tech athlete. It was the first defeat of the
year for the Occidental matman and went into extra periods before the judge's
awarded the honors to Zimmer.
The defeat of Coccuzzi, West, in the 147-pound class by Houghtling, East, was
another bout that upset the dope bucket. Previous to this match Coccuzzi had
gained two wins over the East High boy. Coccuzzi starting out strong but
Houghtling caught him in a hold which Cocuzzi could not break and the East High
boy held his opponent down to win.
Polito, of East, was another man that was caught in a trick hold and he dropped
his first bout of the year to Golamb of Tech. He was thrown in record time,
having his shoulders touched to the mat in thirty-nine seconds.Earl Feary,
Tech's star grappler, won two matches. Feary ran up against two tough men,
especially Mansfield of West, in the first bout who extended Feary to the limit
to win. The outcome of the match was never in doubt, although Feary had a tough
time in holding the slippery Occidental, winning by experience.
