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.

Tech High grapplers featured the final round of the city high school individual
wrestling tournament yesterday afternoon at the Monroe High gymnasium, three
wearers of the maroon and gray winning titles in their respective classes. Two
wrestlers from East High also won championships, while one man each from Monroe,
West, John Marshall and Charlotte were able to win gold medals.
The feature match of the day showed Williams, Monroe and Felli, West, in action
after 15 minutes of the fiercest kind of giving. Williams had Felli in a bad way
near the end of the match, but the West High entry managed to slip off the mat.
Feary, Tech 135-pounder, and Holloway, Charlotte staged a merry scrap in that
event, with Holloway winning the decision after nine minutes. Feary won the
championship of the class last season.
The only fall of the day cam in the 188-pound scrap when Pressburg, East, threw
A. Bates, West, after 6 minutes, 48 seconds had elapsed. The bout was fairly
even until the end came.
Aggresiveness enabled Charles DeCarlo, who wrestles in the 126-pound class for
Tech, to get the judge's decision over Sam Rosenthal, Monroe after 9 minutes.
Rosenthal was on the defensive all through the battle.
A good deal of humor was injected into the meet when "Packey" MacFarland,
Monroe, and Matakie, East, met in the unlimited affair. Matakie, who was allowed
to enter the meet at the last minute, won the decision after 9 minutes of
flopping and floundering.
A crowd of about 200 witnessed the affair, which was held under the direction of
Albert Makin. All the winners will receive gold medals, with the losers getting
silver medals.
