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.

1929-30 Monroe Redjackets Wrestling Team
(SOURCE: Monrolog,
Monroe High School, 1930)
For the second
successive year since 1928 Monroe organized a wrestling team and entered the
Interscholastic League. Although handicapped by inexperienced material, Coach
Jones succeeded in forming a very formidable team before the end of the season
as was shown in their final decisive victory over Charlotte. (Monrolog,
1930. Wrestling, p. 83.)
ALUMNI NOTES
At Cornell, Powell Beyland, class of June, 1927, is continuing the fine
scholarship that he had at Monroe. Beyland, who was standard bearer of his class
while at Monroe, is one of seventeen who have been elected to Tau Beta Phi, the
honorary engineering society, composed of Junior and Senior students of the
Engineering College. He is also a member of the varsity wrestling team. (Monrolog,
1930. Alumni Notes, p. 95.)

Tech High School added another title to its long list of Interscholastic
Wrestling League championships by defeating Monroe High this afternoon at
Monroe, 22 to 8. Yesterday's victory closed the loop for the season for Coach
Hobart Hoff's matmen and gained the ninth interscholastic circuit crown for the
Shopmen since the sport was introduced in Rochester high schools by B.R. Jones
in 1921. East High, which administered Tech's lone defeat this season, is the
only other school besides the Shop institution to have copped the league title.
ARMDRAG NOTE:
Does anyone have any additional info on B.R. Jones, the
founder of high school wrestling in Rochester and possibly New York State?
Here's an article co-authored by him while at the Rochester Shop
School in 1923.
