Eldon Mueller making his first pin this year. Dave Uphoff rolls his man over and oes for a pih. Hold him down, -Eldon! Dave was the only undefeated wrestfer on the Deshler team until State. Wrestling is a very important and prominent part of Deshler's athletic pro- gram. At Deshler, the spirit of the team is comparable to the enthusiasm of the partic- ipants in the international c o mp e t it iv e world. Their efforts to win District or State are certainly equal to the efforts displayed by professional wrestlers. The wrestler, as any athlete, whether a professional or a high school student must accept defeat as well as victory. Al- though the Dragons did very well as a team this year, obtaining a 6 to 1 record, each boy had to experience individual d ef e at. Deshler can be proud of the fine s ports - manship shown by her 67-68 wr e s tl in g team. Eldon gets a gooclupat on the back from teammates after his successf match above., The Southern Nebraska Champions from left to right: Dennie Phelps, Dave Uphoff, Ron Poppe, Rod Eberhardt.
