Vince Wilcox f 1751 placed second in their weight classes. Co-captains Rosenbaum and Shaw finished third and fourth respectively. The Tournament was a great success and promises to be- come an institution in the School. An outstanding example of the team's spirit was the unique announcements made at lunch. These announcements enhanced the popularity of wrestling as a spectator sport, and everyone looked forward to them as entertainment. They put originality into the usually dull matter of sports announcements. The Varsity was well represented by each Form. Jon Arterton, Pete Rosenbaum, Braclcley Shaw, Vince Wilcox, and Rogers Howard were Seniors. The Juniors developed a strong core of wrestlers which often was the team's mainstay. Mike Reuss, Greg Young, and Bob Hardaway were outstanding but only because of the pressure placed on them by Roger Clapp and Doug Cornell. Sophomores Bill Yates and Tim Golding were also on the Varsity. The only Freshman consistently on the Hrst string was Spencer Gay. SEASON SUMMARY The J.V. also produced good talent. Georgetown Won '50-3 Sophomores Jim Gray, Bill Rollings, and Phil Rosenbaum worked hard and gained St' Stephens Won 27-19 valuable experience as did Freshman Charlie Severn Won 31-10 Hamlin. It is hoped that the J.V. schedule . will be expanded next year if there is a Episcopal Lost 14-23 greater turnout. Landon Won 24-14 This year,s 8 and 3 record was impres- , sive, but the season was much more than that.

Cornell, Reuss Wrestling His YEAR the wrestling team, under the expert and inspiring coaching of Mr. Smethurst, fin- ished the season with an 8-3 record against tough competition. It was undefeated champion of the 1.A.C. Two of the three losses were against top wrestling schools, Episcopal and Mercers- burg Academy, of Pennsylvania. The third loss was a close 21-20 decision to Suitland High. Two major factors contributed to the team's success this year. The first was the coaching staff-Mr. Smethurst, Mr. Kline, and the aging Mr. Grococlc, Whose desire to win was unquench- able throughout the season. The second factor was the solid corps of good wrestlers. No one stood out above the rest, for the team was a unit. The major event of the season was the Independent Schools Tournament, which St. Albans started this year. This tournament is the second one the School has founded, the first being the Washington Metropolitan Tournament, established by Mr. Wagner in 1953. St. Albans decid- ed to withdraw from the Metropolitan Tournament when it grew too large. In the newly formed Tournament the team finished a strong second behind Episcopal. Jon Arterton f 1401 was the Blues only champion, but Greg Young 11281, Mike Reuss fl4'5l, Bob Hardaway f1'5'5j, and 80 ATHLETICS 1963
