Wrestlers Take Princeton Match

Captain Fred Pereira, wrestling despite a rib injury, pinned Princeton's 191-pounder Dave Heaton to give the Crimson matmen a 17-14 win over the Tigers at Princeton Saturday.

Harvard came into the 191-pound match leading 12-11, but expecting to lose the heavyweight match to the Tigers' rugged Charley Savigde. But Pereira, wrestling 25 pounds over his weight, topped Heaton, and Savigde barely eked out a 2-2 win over Tack Chace.

A. Brian Conley, Harvard's sophomore 147-pounder, turned in the biggest upset of the day with a 7-6 decision over previously, unbeaten Jim Leach. Pete Keeler (123), Howie Durfee (137), and Ben Brooks (177) also picked up decisions.

The win left Harvard with a 2-2 Ivy record; wins over Brown and Yale would give Harvard a shot at second place in the League.
