Team History (81)

1947-1948 R.I.T. Techmen

Coach Ed Pike, who piloted some of our strongest pre-war mat squads, returned this year to resume the direction of RIT's grunt and groan artists. With Ken Christian as the only holdover from last year's few practice matches, Pike started with an inexperienced but ambitious crew which rapidly grew in strength to challenge some of the best collegiate squads. FRONT ROW: Leonard Baker, Herbert Bramer, Fred Ahrens, Kenneth Christian. BACK ROW: Coach Edward Pike, John Moran, Harold Richter, Martin Siebach, Athletic Director Sherman Hagburg.
