Injury to Bartolf of Columbia Settles Issue--Daughaday Takes Close Bout

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

All matches turning out about as expected, the wrestling team nosed out Columbia Saturday by a 14 to 12 score. However, it was not until the final match when "Chief" Boston's opponent wrenched his knee that the outcome was decided.

With the score standing 12 to 9 against the Crimson, it was up to Boston to make a fall in order to clinch the match. He was well on the way toward his objective when the trick knee of footballer Joe Bartolf gave was and made it necessary for him to for-felt his match for the full five points given with a fall. Bartolf gamely argued with his coach to let him continue, but he was not allowed to do so.

Daughaday Meets Equal

Two matches before the final, heavy-weight bout, Bill Daughaday at 165 had practically brought the stands to their feet with a thrilling near fall in the last 5 seconds of his match. However, Lenox Muldoon, his opponent, managed to keep Bill from pinning him until after the horn called a stop to the contest.

Dunc Longcope gave one of the best fights of any one during the afternoon. The sophomore handed 175 pound Captain Robert Taylor another football man of the Lions a tough fight as he kept him from winning by any more than a decision. At times it looked as if Dunc might even take his man.

Ross Downs Opponent

Captain Harvey Ross of the Crimson team started off the afternoon with a decision over Columbia's sophomore Al Marasca. The Lion wrestler looked outstandingly fast and aggressive for the first part of the match, but he was unable to last it out at that speed.

Ted Schoenberg in the 128-pound class showed his real ability Saturday as he decisively defeated Harry Zaret in the second match of the afternoon. He was followed by Al Richter at 136, who was outwrestled by Jim Frost of Columbia.

Page Overwhelmed

In the 145-pound class, Art Page, who was wrestling in the place of Bruce Richardson, unable to wrestle because of illness, found his lack of practice a decided handicap when he lost to Charlie Holt. In place of Pete Illman who had also become ill at the last minute, Bill Tyng lost to Weldon Booth of the Columbia team.

As they only garnered three matches from the Exeter team, the Freshman grapplers went down to defeat. 19-13, Saturday afternoon. Vern Miller, 250-pound Yardling was the standout as he pinned his opponent to the mat in less than four minutes. The other Harvard winners were Tine, pinning his man, and Thomas, who won on a decision.
