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.

Five wrestlers from Monroe High, four from Tech, three from West, two each from
Charlotte and Marshall and one from East survived the semi-final round of the
local high school individual tournament at East High School yesterday afternoon
and will enter the final round, to be held at the Monroe High gymnasium this
afternoon starting at 3:30 o'clock. The small East gym was packed for the
exhibitions yesterday.
Sammy Rosenthal, Monroe 126-pounder, sprung the surprise of the tourney
yesterday when he eliminated Shaprio, East, after 10 minutes of furious
grappling. Rosenthal, who is the "dark horse" of the meet, will meet DeCarlo,
Tech, for the championship this afternoon.
The feature match of the finals this afternoon is expected to come when
Williams, last years 175-pounjd class champion, who wrestles for Monroe, and
Felli, West, who won the title in the 160-pound division a year back, come
together in the heavyweight event. Both men won their matches yesterday in easy
fashion, Williams downing Rogers, Tech, after six minutes, and Felli beating
Dankoff, East, also after six minutes.
Stelljes Wins Three Matches
Stelljes, last season's champion in the 147-pound event, won three matches
yesterday. He will meet Seibert, Monroe, in an attempt to retain his title in
that class to-day.
Selkirk, Tech, and Sandholzer, Charlotte, are also expected to produce plenty of
fireworks when they meet in the 160-pound final. Selkirk downed his team-mate,
Zimber, after 1 minute, 25 seconds yesterday, whil Sandholzer took the measure
of Aronowitz, East, after 10 fast minutes.
