In one of the closest matches ever held in the M. I. T. Gymnasium, the University wrestling team defeated the Engineers, 19 to 13 Saturday evening. At the beginning of the final bout, Harvard led 14 to 13, making the last contest the deciding one of the match. W. H. Boldt '30 defeated Gordon of M. I. T. in this match by a fall in 3 minutes and 22 seconds.

The hardest fought contest was that between Der Maderosian and Joseph Lifrak '29, the Crimson captain. The M. I. T. man won by a decision after the struggle had gone into two overtime periods.
