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.

Facing stronger opposition than at any time in recent years, the wrestling team
of Rochester Athenaeum and Mechanics Institute chalked up a good record during
the 1940-41 season by winning three meets, dropping three and tying one.
The wrestlers showed up well in all the meets, and in most cases losses in
individual bouts were close ones. New on the schedule were Kent State University
and St. Lawrence University. Both schools had been dropped previously because
they were considered too strong for the R.A.M.I. men.
Coach Ed Pike is optimistic about prospects for the coming season. Although four
men will be lost through graduation, the squad as a whole will be more
experienced. The reserve men are shaping up well and should replace the seniors
without any serious difficulty.
Men who wrestled for the Blue and Grey for the last time this year are Captain
Harry Lugert, who was defeated only once during regular meets, George Field,
121-pounder, Ben Saggese, heavyweight, and Raymond Hobson, reserve.
The Institute matmen competed at the eighth annual Interstate Invitational
Championships at Cleveland. Although the team failed to take a first place,
Lugert took a second place in the 155-pound class, Saggese was third in the
heavyweight class, and Bob Renner placed fourth in the 175-pound spot. (Ramiken, 1941)
