V v x,1n CAPTAIN MILLIKEN HINES MURPHY manage to pin his man in the last few seconds of his match, thus giving Gunnery a certain victory. Berkshire, who wrestled well in the Memorial Wrest- ling Room, forced the Gunnery boys to buckle to their only defeat of the season. The only two Gunnery men who were not pinned were Brodie U30 lb. classl and Hines C177 lb. classi. Wooster, our neighbors from Danbury, was con- quered by the indefatigable grapplers by a comforta- ble margin of 25-'l'l. Murphy pinned his opponent, Roth, in a spectacular match which lasted only 55 seconds. Murphy starred again in the match with Cheshire Academy by defeating his rival in 33 seconds. His performance inspired the rest of the team to a great eFfort which led to their winning the match 27-19. The final test of Gunnery's wrestling talents showed again the team determination that guided the squad throughout the season. They defeated Carmel High School 28-7. It was during this encounter that Hines lost his only match of the year. The matmen may therefore be said to have had a superlative record. At first it appeared that the squad might be made up of those boys not interested in hockey or basketball. Instead, almost overnight, a new Varsity sport was introduced at the Gunnery. The immediate spirited enthusiasm given to it by so many boys in its opening season is ample proof that wrestling has gained a firm foothold at Gunnery. 9 ' ' ' . C .
