Although the wrestlers ended their season with an unimpressive-sounding record of four wins and one draw as compared with seven losses, a close inspection of the schedule will reveal that this year's campaign was, indeed, a successful one. On that schedule were matches with some of the most powerful teams in the Long Island area, teams like Amityville, Farmingdale, Massapequa, and Oceanside. The lirst match was with Amityville, a team that was later to become an undefeated powerhouse. Wltile we were defeated hy the Crimson tide, we were not out-classed and our favorable showing seemed to fore- cast a good season. Friends Academy was a refreshing change after Amityville, and we won easily, many of the Quakers falling prey to Sancti pinning combina- tions. Our next match was with llorace Mann, and we decisively defeated them also, The Saints then traveled to Brooklyn to meet the formidable Poly Prep, a team whose middle-weights were all to become Ivy League champions later in the season, The smooth-working Poly machine proved too strong, and the Saints lost. Determined to pick up another win at the expense of Ilackley, the Saints met the invaders from West- chester on their own mats and beat them by a good score. It is, however, significant to note that not one pin was registered during the course of the entire bout and that nine of the ten individual matches were decided by a margin of two points or less. The wrestlers then moved into the rugged part of their schedule. They were severely beaten by a tough Page fFifty-eight Farmingdale outtit and they dropped another to the always tough Stony lirook team. A return match with Friends, upon whom the Saints vented their fury after two defeats, did much to restore the morale of the Red and Black. Moving on to a match with South Side lligh, the Sancti grapplers were again disappointed as they lost by one point. At Massapequa the Saints' wrestlers, with a few exceptions, seemed listless, and they well deserved the loss they received. But, it was an entirely different team that two days later met Oceanside, last year's Long Island champs. The Saints' wrestling was so inspired that, after sweeping the lirst four weights, they succeeded in attaining a I9-19 draw with the mighty Sailors. The Saints then met Trinity in their last match of the season and lost a heartbreaker to last year's lvy League champs by but two points. The lvy League Tournament, the lirst of its kind, saw live St. Paul's men make the linals. Angrist and Cron took lirst places, while Fischofer, Cohn, and Rustmann took seconds in their respective weight classes. At the end of the tournament, Cron received the award for the most valuable wrestler of the tournament. Witlt the season officially ended, Angrist, Fischofer, Baher, and Cron traveled to Lehigh to wrestle in the Eastern Preparatory School Championship. Cron drew the best man in his weight class in the lirst round and was defeated. However, he went on to take a fourth. Angrist made it up to the finals and took second place in his class.
