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.

GENEVA - More than 850 fans jammed the Mynderse Academy gym in Seneca Falls Saturday evening to watch Waterloo win the Wayne-Finger Lakes wrestling title.

 

Coach Gordon Gilfilian's Waterloo mat team scored 75 points to nose out Mynderse Academy, which netted 68 points, and Geneva High, which finished with 64 points. Other scoring, Canandaigua Academy 45, Wayne Central 12, Newark 12, Phelps 10, Union Springs 0.

 

"Any team could have won the meet, which I think was the best we have held here in my eight years of coaching the sport," commented Pete De Bottis, Mynderse Academy grappling coach, whose unit won the regular season pennant.

 

In the feature, the 154-pound class, Dick Atkinson of Geneva and Bob Lynch of Waterloo wrestles to a no-score tie. After two overtimes without an advantage, officials awarded the match to Atkinson. Under tournament rules, according to De Bottis, a match cannot end in a draw.

 

Sectional champs had little trouble maintaining their winning steaks. Dick Marchionda of Penn Yan copped the 95-pound title and Mel Brinson, a teammate, got the best of his rival in the 133-pound division. Brinson defeated Bill Jackson of Mynderse, a Finger Lakes titleholder.

 

In a match that brought every one to his feet, Ron Hooper of Mynderse wrestled Geneva's Dick Griffith to a 3-1 decision to maintain his crown.

 

Despite the 6-0 result, Bob Buchwald of Mynderse had a tough time of things before he subdued Geneva's Jay Covert.

 

De Bottis commented, "Everyone sensed that Covert was fighting with all his heart. It was a thrilling victory for Bob."

 

In a close contest, Bob Domm of Canandaigua upset Nick Barbi of Seneca Falls, 8-5. The other winner from Canandaigua was John Scammell, who downed Walt Snyder of Waterloo, 7-0.
