Tech High Places 10 Men in Finals of School Mat Meet
 Tech High School's championship wrestling squad showed its real strength by sending ten out of a possible 18 men into the finals of the city interscholastic individual mat title tournament as a result of winning 10 of 12 bouts in the semi-finals yesterday afternoon at Benjamin Franklin High School. Coach Hoff's Shopmen, well-drilled and exhibiting a surprising skill and knowledge of the grappling sport, placed men in eight of the nine weight classes as Tech boys came through in both ends of the semi-finals in two of the divisions.
