Coach Ioe Sparks set the wheels in motion, and a group of rugged veterans grappled their way to a fine wrestling season. A regular season mark of 4 wins and 6 losses did not overshadow the immense team performance character- ized by the Tribe. Snaring the N.C.C. title for the first time in several years provided the initial punch in the final on-coming toumaments. Leading the Indian attack was Mickey Janes who was runner-up this year in state competition after cap- turing the sacred title last year. Also turning in top records were Scottie Sparks, Dick McCabe, Floyd Law- ler, and Art Farris. Balance advantage is taken by Anderson wrestler.
