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.

The seventh
season of wrestling at Mechanics Institute opened in October and
forty men responded to the call for practice in the downstairs
gymnasium. The first meetings were devoted primarily to gymnasium
regulations and suggestions for training.
A freshman wrestling tournament was held for the first time with the
Photographic Technology students forming the largest group. This
tournament was somewhat of a disappointment as there were not enough
men entered to provide adequate competition in all classes. However,
it gave a number of men an opportunity to wrestle who otherwise
might have been left out.

The
Institute team made three trips two of which were of outstanding
educational value to the men concerned. The first of these trips was
to Providence and Cambridge and the second to Cleveland. The latter
was undertaken at a time when all records for cold weather were
being broken, but in spite of this handicap the trip was an
enjoyable one.
The student body supported wrestling whole-heartedly and are
entitled to commendation for their part in bringing the season to a
successful close.
Three men, Charles Schwader, Fred Clark, and Kenneth Becker,
represented the Institute at the Ohio Tournament as well as at the
National Collegiate Tournament.
One of the outstanding problems confronting us for next year is to
secure adequate representation in each weight class, as most of the
men in the present group are being graduated. (Ramikin, 1934)
