The Boyd brothers, Sterling and George, took second and third respectively in CIF, while heavyweight Jim Miller also took a third. Fred Kross also might have been able to place in CIF but he was unable to wrestle because he graduated at midterm a week before the finals. Against Mira Costa, eventual CIF champ, the Monarchs lost by 6 points but could have won by lo, according to Coach Roelen, Jim Floor lost his match by l point in the closing seconds of the match. George Athans lost by l point on a penalty, and almost-certain-winner George Boyd at l3O could not wrestle because of an overweight problem. If any of these unfortunate incidents could have been reversed, Morning- side would have had an easy victory. During the course ofthe season the Monarchs won most of the dual meets and placed high in tournaments.
