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.

"Stay off your backs!" That was the call that lead the Viking Grapplers to their
record of 4-7-1. With Fly and Slip (the blonde bomber) contributing their
brotherly talents, the Vikings were sure to conquer.
Hey coach Swimlar, when ya going to come to practice before four o'clock?
Although he didn't always show up on time, he still was there when the team
needed him.
With Big Bad Gus and his fantastic profile, there was enough beauty in the team
to cardiac arrest any opponent. Grab for it Vikings. (Skjöld, 1978)

JVs Pinned
Maybe pinned isn't exactly the term we should use, but the J.V. wrestling squad
ended their season 4-7-1.
You couldn't classify them as heavy――not with "Breeze" (the hunched gorilla that
took control of his man).
Although they always showed up at the mats after stepping off the scales, you
could call them camera shy. Four on a J.V. team? (or is it that there are only
four photogenic grapplers?) "You want it, you can get it," according to Coach
Stever. (Skjöld, 1978)
