Archives E-mail corrections or additions to info@armdrag.com. 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.   1899 1920 1925 1930 1935 1940 1945 1950 1955 1960 1965 1970 1975 1980 1985 1990 1995 2000 2005 ... 1921 1926 1931 1936 1941 1946 1951 1956 1961 1966 1971 1976 1981 1986 1991 1996 2001 2006 ... 1922 1927 1932 1937 1942 1947 1952 1957 1962 1967 1972 1977 1982 1987 1992 1997 2002 2007 ... 1923 1928 1933 1938 1943 1948 1953 1958 1963 1968 1973 1978 1983 1988 1993 1998 2003   ... 1924 1929 1934 1939 1944 1949 1954 1959 1964 1969 1974 1979 1984 1989 1994 1999 2004

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.
