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.

One of the top wrestling teams in Oriental history represented East in the 1953-54 season. This year's team was a well-rounded aggregation of boys, with every position on the squad filled. Frank Incardona finished out his wrestling career at East with over 30 victories in a four-year span. The boys all fought hard for the team's good and in doing so enabled the team to finish in first place in the wrestling league. (The Orient, 1954)
