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.

TEAM MEMBERS (not in
order): Stelljes (Captain), Hooker, E. Bates, Barons, LeBlanc, A. Bates, Felli,
Shoecraft, Cocuzzi. (SOURCE: Occident, West High, 1927.)

The wrestling team, though greatly handicapped by
the loss of Hooker, injured early in the
season, defeated East High twice and suffered but three defeats. Stelljes
tossed his way through the bouts undefeated, winning over the best wrestlers of
Tech High and East. Felli upheld the
heavyweight division capably. Barons,
though he sacrificed his own personal record by moving up a class to fill the
vacancy caused by Hooker's injury, finished the season with more victories than
defeats. (Occident, West High, 1927)
