Page Ten QCARLET AND BLACK Fniday; March I7I .I9ybl’ Wrestlers Win Two Dual Meets Pictured above 1 Bill Molltl‘urt Capt Bill Patton Henderson, Tom Cook and Gary by Jim Hatfield Grinncll has had a poor- wrestling season by the books, This year’s varsity mat team could bring home only the scalps of Knox and Coe in dual meet competition and a ninth place ir. the Conference meet. But, looking at the season meet by meet and noting indi- vidual progress it would be uri— fair to let the “poor” rating ap- ply to anything more than sta— tistics. At least two men would have been welcome in the best of wrestling circles. Dick Harris, l‘llnnel‘rup at lslepounds last year as a sophomore in the con. ference meet, returned this year to terrorize his opponents throughout the season. He racked up eight wins against one loss, a frosh Grapplers Display Potential This year’s fourteen m a n freshman wrestling squad. if it turns out for the varsity next year en masse as hoped and ex— pected, should boost Grinnell in. to the top division of Midwest conference wrestling. While failing to win a meet this year, the yearlings picked up enough experience, according to Coach Edd Bowers, to make them potenlial troublemakers on; the mats next season. Jon Larson and Al McKnight, at 157 and 147 pounds fresh co-captains, hulwarked the young mat crew. Larson Carded a 1-1-1 rccorfl: McKnight won twice and droupcd one. ‘Carl Rattner, rugged little 137. pounder earned a 1-2 for the season.

He wrestled in every Pioneer- meet and faced morc' opponents than anyone else or the squad. An ankle injury ham— pered his attempts in the latter part of the season but he finish ed strong picking up a draw, decision. and a pin in the last three meets oi the season. He won his conference meet en» counter but dropped the next nratch to the eventual lSDrpound champion. Patton contributed one point to Harris' 13 for the Grid nell ninth place total a 147eppund senior- 375 record in dual encounters, George Heina, trading practice match wins with Dorr wrestled in the 1‘47 and 157 divisions and picked up two wins against three losses.

This may have been a slight exaggcration, but only a slight one, for the frosh went through their season undefeated and set new confer. .ence first—year records in ev y event save the backstroke. in many cases they smashed Grin- .nell and conference varsity imarks as well. i Their dual meet victories in- cluded a close win over the tin. riversity of Iowa freshmen in a itelegraphic. Pacing the freshmen to their [fine season were the three we captains: Jim ‘Adelman, Steve Brooks, and Jim Maxmln. All three got records in their events, establishing a total of seven lnr dividual records between them. Adelman turned in one of the outstanding performances by any conference swimmer when he ‘went 4 minutes 59.4 seconds in the Mil-yard lreestyle', the first time in the history of the league anyone had cracked five mine utes.‘ The thirle‘en-man squad is not a shallow one which depends en.
