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.

About 60 wrestlers are expect to vie for eight city interscholastic mat
championships in a three-day tournament at Benjamin Franklin High School,
starting this afternoon. The preliminary matches, weighing-in, and registration
details are scheduled to begin at 3 o'clock this afternoon. Men from East, West,
Tech, Monroe, Franklin, and Charlotte highs are expected to vie for the
individual laurels.
Tech High, undefeated in the interscholastic league this year and winner of the
most individual crowns last season, is out to repeat. Frank Reddy, 160-pound
champion, Jerry DePrez, 175-pound titleholder, and Frank Spronza, 147-pound
star, will lead the attack of Coach Hobart Hoff's Shopmen.
De Prez Brothers Even
Reddy and De Prez probably will get plenty of opposition in the defense of their
crowns. Jerry will have to eliminate his brother, Gene, of West High, for the
175-pound championship. Jerry won over his younger brother last year in the
finals and beat him twice in dual matches, but Gene has shown a big improvement
in strength and finesse this year. Gene defeated Jerry in the last Tech-West
contest and hopes to gain the title this year.
Claude Wright of Coach "Pete" McKay's East High outfit, newcomer to the
wrestling sport this season, is expected to furnish Reddy with most of his
opposition. Joe Caccamise, who lost out in the finals of the 118-pound division
last year, is favored to gain the supremacy, with Sam Polis, winner of the city
amateur title last week, selected to give him the most trouble.
A merry battle is looked for in the 126-pound class with De Francisco of Monroe,
Bob Ruppenthal of Franklin and Sam Russo of Franklin, victor in the amateurs, as
the outstanding men. Chuck Geyer of Franklin, and Thomas Polis of Tech, another
amateur titleholder, look best in the 135-pound class.
The semi-finals are slated for tomorrow with the finals Friday afternoon.
Matches will be conducted simultaneously on two mats.
