Winning all but one Yearling bout, the Varsity and Freshman grapplers overcame M.I.T. matmen with a score of 35 to 0 and 29 to 3 respectively in their opening meet Saturday afternoon.
Johnny Harkness, unbeaten in his Freshman year, demonstrated his power when he ripped into his 175-pound opponent, Wetterer, and won the bout in one minute and 13 seconds.
Despite the overwhelming victory, Coach Gallagher's wrestlers met some stiff opposition. Eddie Petrenick, 118-pounder, had a hard job flooring Noodleman, while even Captain Stoddard, the 135-pound New England intercollegiate champ, found stiff opposition facing him in the person of Bartholomew. It took Bill Glendinning, heavyweight, more than nine minutes to defeat Cestoni.
