"One of the
best wrestling teams to ever represent East High," is the way
"Pete" McKay characterizes this
year's wrestling team. The East High squad started the season string
defeating every team in the league, but when they came to Tech High
they were severely upset and remained in a "Slump" for the rest of
the season. Coach McKay built up a fighting team around his lone
veteran, Captain Caccamise,
and many of the local followers of the wrestling were given a real
shock.
At the
beginning of the season it was feared that there would be no team to
represent East High because of the lack
of interest last year in that sport; but the boys interested in the
sport clamored loudly for recognition and it was granted. These boys
fought and fought hard for positions and even now Pete is not sure
just who was the best man in each event. (The Orient,
June 1931) |
