Archival footage from the 1946 NCAA College Wrestling Tournament, hosted by Oklahoma A&M College (now Oklahoma State University) at Gallagher Hall in Stillwater, Oklahoma. The 1946 tournament was the first since 1942, as the tournament was halted from 1943-45 with the outbreak of war.

Following World War II, the NCAA tournament returned, as did the Aggies. Oklahoma A&M hosted the tournament in 1946, winning its 14th NCAA Championship, and its seventh straight. David Arndt, back for his senior season, captured his third NCAA individual championship, this time at 136 pounds. George Dorsch also claimed a title, winning the 175-pound weight class. The Aggies only competed in dual matches twice in 1946, posting a 2-0 record.
