Experience Gained Through Wrestling Shanks' wrestling program, which entered its second year, proved a favorite for football players in the off-season. Daily practice sessions under the supervision of Coach Harold Kelly helped to produce a powerful and well-trained group of ath- letes. The team faced few opponents in scheduled meets, but the practice and knowledge of wrestling provided a great deal of practical experience. Ten classes made up the team, ranging from 101-227 pound class to the unlimited weight class. Qualifications for being on the team were keeping a good grade point average, being able to wrestle within a specified weight class and a desire to work to achieve perfection.
