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 H.H.S. "Matmen" added a winning season to the records of Hornell High this
year. Although wrestling got off to a late start, the team developed rapidly and
ten boys earned varsity letters. This record shows four wins: two over
Alfred-Almond and two from Wayland. The team's 2 losses came in close matches
with Wellsville and Painted Post. Mr. Podrasky, through his excellent job of
coaching, produced a rugged team with lots of drive. Because most of the team
will be returning next year, another winning season can be expected. (Maple
