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.

This year, the Institute wrestling team made great strides in regaining the
place of prominence it held at one time in inter-collegiate mat circles.
Tutored by new coach Earl Fuller, and sparked by team captain Ken Christian,
the tusslers had a very successful season in competition with some of its
stongest pre-war rivals.
Included in the 1948-49 schedule were meets with Ontario Agricultural
College, University of Buffalo, Case Institute of Technology, Alfred
University, Western Reserve University, Akron College, St. Lawrence
university, and Baldwin Wallace College. New on the Techmen's schedule this
year were Akron College and Western Reserve. With four wins, four losses,
and a tie, the boys had a far more impressive record than during the 1947-48
season.
Some of the top men also competed in the Inter-State Tournament at
Cleveland, Ohio, on March 11 and 12.
Instumental in arranging this season's fine schedule of matches was faculty
advisor Ralph B. Tufts of the Publishing and Printing Department. (Techmila,
1949)
