West Virginia University Mountaineers
West Virginia
Fans Fall For Them - They Fall For Charleston
They all fall for the new stuff sooner or later. Candidates for the West Virginia University wrestling squad are now required to master the Charleston before they can represent the Mountaineer school on the mat. Coach Steve Harrick, who originated the idea of making the latest dance craze a part of the team's training activities, claims it strengthens the leg muscles, increases the speed and makes for deceptive and clever footwork. Those show above, with their weights, from left to right, are Krickovic, 158; Pitsenberger, 190; Neel, 150; Cole, 175, and Johnson, 135. SOURCE: The Freeport Journal-Standard, February 26, 1926.
