North Syracuse was accepted by the Central New York Wrestling League, composed of fourteen other member teams. We are competing in the Western Division of that league, against such teams as Rome, Au- burn, Baldwinsville and West Genesee. Our present league record is two wins and five losses, with one wrestling meet with Baldwinsville still to be de- cided. In non-league encounters the team has beaten Marcellus, and Jamesville De Witt, while losing to Seneca Falls and Chitenango. I47
