Alfred University Saxons
New York
1949-1950 Alfred Saxons
VARSITY WRESTLING. Alfred's matmen showed some of their pre-war spirit this past Fall, as they won twice, lost three matches and tied one with the University of Buffalo. With such outstanding varsity competitors as Dale Thompson and Art D'Avanzo returning, and many other experienced men, Alfred's wrestlers reached new heights despite their record. The highlight of the season came when the Purple and Gold matmen traveled to Canton, N.Y., to tangle with the St. Lawrence University team. The St. Lawrence wrestlers, who had beaten such notable teams as Columbia and Yale before meeting Alfred, and who had not lost a match to the Saxons since 1931, were beaten beyond doubt by the score 21-11. Earlier, on Jan. 14, Alfred tangled with Rochester Institute of Technology and, before a packed field house, won a decisive victory, 21-22. The letter men are Art D'Avanzo, Dale Thompson, and Jack Wilson. FRONT ROW: Quirk (manager), Jova, Jones, Franklin, D'Avanzo, Kiesow, Thompson, Alexander, Turner. MIDDLE ROW: Stottle, McConnell, Kuhn, Wilson, Bailey, Amdur, Ganung, Ottoway, Rizzo. BACK ROW: Raczkiewicz, McMahon, Clark, Spring, Bly, Plessner, Smith, Botti, W. McMahon.
