Nassau Wrestlers Mangle Crimson Squad Here, 28-8

Princeton's powerful wrestling machine, which tied both service academics and Penn, returned to New Jersey Saturday night after thoroughly outclassing Harvard, 24 to 8.

Coach Jimmy Reed's wrestlers were more adept, more deliberate, and generally in better condition than their opponents. They were, in short, better wrestlers. For example, Dave Poor, who best Dave Smith at 128 pounds, has lost only once in four years of dual meet competition.

King and Houston Score

Buddy King brought the Crimson its first three points after the Tigers had built up an 11-0 lead and Howie Houston added the last five with a pin of heavyweight Reddy Finney in his first real test Houston's stellar performance brought the crowd of 1500 to its feet. In between, however, the Tigers scored pins in the lightweight, middleweight, and heavyweight divisions.

Meanwhile at Andover, the Freshman wrestlers succumbed, 19 to 11.
