Getting His (W)raps
Bob Franciamione, winner of his last 43 Ithaca High School matches, is on top here but it's bottomman Ed Carlin who's in control, as was the case at the end of the YMCA Open's 123-pound final. Referee is Lulkowski. SOURCE: Binghamton Press, March 13, 1960. Click for larger image.
