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.

With the withdrawal of Dr. Seidlin as wrestling coach, Alex Yunevich was chosen
his successor. The only men remaining from last year's squad were Lee Guilford
and Floyd Olivia, the remainder of the team being composed of men with high
school experience only. A new set-up, that of having an A and a B squad, was
tried out this year. The more experienced would meet the inter-collegiate
competition while the B squad would wrestle teams representing various Y.M.C.A.
teams of Western New York. Losing but one man by graduation, the wrestling team
next year should be a winner, since the squads of this year's opponents were
composed mostly of seniors. In the final tabulation, Minor was high point man
with a total of 14 points, whil Luce was a close second with thirteen. Luce,
Minor, and Greene represented Alfred at the Tri-State Invitation meet at
Cleveland. (Kanakadea, 1940)
