The University wrestlers suffered a decisive defeat from the hands of a strong Columbia team on Saturday afternoon in the New Indoor Athletic Building. The Lions won by a score of 20 to 8, and effected Harvard's first defeat this winter.

Harvard scored a decision and a fall. The decision of the referee was given to Arthur Klein '32, in the 125-pound class, after a hard struggle, and J. H. Crandon '33 won a victory, pinning his opponent's shoulders to the ground, in the 135-pound match. In most of the heavier bouts Harvard lost by decision after one or more overtime periods.
