Adding another to their impressive string of victories, the wrestling team returned from Pennsylvania yesterday on the long end of a 17-11 score. The feature of the match was Quaker Captain Bob Allman's bout in which he pinned Captain Harvey Ross of the Crimson.

Both Ross and Allman in their 121 pound match showed some of the bet wrestling in the meet. Repeating last year's achievement, Allman was the winner by a fall. The little blind Penn wrestler is one of the really outstanding men in his weight throughout the country.

In a vigorous match that showed once more the aggressiveness of "Chief" Boston's wrestling, the Crimson grappler won a decision from his opponent, Robert Wolf, Penn's sophomore standout in the unlimited class. At 175, Dunc Longcope came through as was expected of him and took the Quakers' George Stiskney for a decision. Longcope is steadily developing into one of the best wrestlers on the team with his display of natural ability and speed.

Pennsylvania won in rapid succession the first three matches of the meet and looked as if they would upset the Crimson who were heavily favored, but from the 145 pound class on the Harvard team made a clean sweep. Art Page took his man at 145 with a decision, and so did Pete Illman at 155.

Showing his usual god brand of wrestling, Bill Daughaday won from his man, Lowry Stephenson with another decision. Ted Schoenberg, t 136, lost his stride once more as he broke his winning streak to lose to Norman Bond on a decision, and Al Richter lost on a decision.
