Q' --c is --...M .,., . ,..., Wk Wrestlers Take Second Place A conference record of ten wins and one loss left the A-squad wrestlers in sole posses- sion of second place. The Hylanders also suffered a non-conference loss to Mankato, a highly rated team. Concerning the success of the squad, Coach Gause explained . . that the ex- cellent balance on the team, a very good wrestler in each weight, was the key to the team's success. He also added, 'The Hy- la nders had the most experienced team they have ever put on the mat. Toward the end of the season, the wres- tlers gained an added facility, the new wrestling room. This provided far more effi- cient practices by allowing the entire team to practice at once. With third place in the Fridley tourna- ment and fourth place in the District tourna- ment, Coach Gause remarked that the Hy- landers turned in the best dual meet ever.
