WRESTLERS THIRD IN INTERCOLLEGIATES

Standing higher in the final slating than they ever have before, the Harvard wrestling team tied with the Yale team for the third position in the Eastern Intercollegiate Wrestling Tournament, held in New Haven last Friday and Saturday. Three members of the team, in the persons of "Chief" Boston, Bill Daughaday and Bruce Richardson, won all of the points.

"Chief" Boston climaxed his point winning with a championship in the unlimited class from George Hooper of Syracuse. He won his final match in the most decisive contest in the last bracket to bring his personal point total to six with a fall earlier in the meet and five points going with first place.

Bill Daughaday earned his way to the finals, but was unable to cope with the phenomenal wrestling of Tommy King from Lehigh. He was in a position to win second place from his Penn State opponent, Donald Bachman, but because of the lateness of the match he decided to default and received third place automatically. This is the same position that he won last year. He took two points for a fall and third place.

Richardson Wins a Point

The other Crimson point scorer was Bruce Richardson, who won his point in the first match he wrestled in the tournament. Captain Harvey Ross deserves particular mention for his tough fight against Ole Oless of Lehigh in the first round. Oless, who trimmed down to 121 from his usual 128 pound weight, won his way to the finals, but was finally defeated by Bob Mathers of Penn State.

One of the feature matches of the entire encounter was Bill Daughaday's defeat of Bob Clark, Yale sixty-fiver, who had previously beaten him. Daughaday dug in from the first and nearly pinned his man several times.
