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 Rochester Y.M.C.A. won over the Buffalo "Y" wrestlers last night at the local Y.M.C.A. by the score of 31 to 25. This win gives the Rochester team permanent possession of the cup given by Charles Weniger to the winning team.

Morris Boslov, of the Rochester Y.M.C.A., was the star of the meet, winning first place honors in the 135-pound class and also copping honors in the 147-pound class. The feature match of the evening was between Morris Boslov, of Rochester, and Walter Switzer, Buffalo, in the 135-pound class. Both of these men are A.A.U. champions. Boslov won after a grueling fifteen minutes.
