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.

All the veteran wrestlers came through in the preliminary rounds of the local
jubilie high school individual grappling meet, which was run off at the East
High gymnasium yesterday afternoon. The semi-finals will start this afternoon at
the East-side institution, with the finals to come off to-morrow afternoon.
Sammy Rosenthal, Monroe 126-pounder, showed good form in his victory over Doyle,
Tech, after 5 minutes 55 seconds of fast and furious grappling. Rosenthal was
the aggressor all through the bout and had his adversary in several tight places
before the end came. Sol Saperstone, also from Monroe, who usually wrestles in
the 112-pound event, sprung a surprise wrestling bout of his class, when he
defeated Moore, John Marshall 118-pounder, after 6 minutes.
Feary, Tech 135-pound grappler, had an easy time in downing Sargeant, Monroe.
Sargeant was forced to give up after 4 minutes. Robinson, 112-pounder for Tech,
made short work of his fellow team-mate, White, downing him after 2 minutes, 14
seconds.
Harold Hendricks, Monroe 105-class man, who has not been defeated all season,
was not allowed to enter his event because he "boiled down" in an effort to get
down to weight. There is no rule against this form of losing weight and why
Elmer K. Smith, director of the meet, disqualified his is a question. Hendricks
will compete in the 112-pound class. He drew a bye yesterday.
Sam Paul, East High grappler in the 105-pound class, staked a merry battle with
Fitelson, of the same team, Fitelson getting the decision of the judges after
six furious minutes.
