Vrestlers Scalp Dartmouth with Five Pins; 25-9

An addendum to the mimeographed wrestling program states: "A fall is decided when either wrestler holds his opponent's shoulders to the mat for a period of two seconds." Butch Jordan's tutees did this five times at the Blockhouse Saturday to vanquish Dartmouth, 25 to 9.

In the three matches that went to a decision, the visitors came out on top but the work of Dave Smith, Bob Abboud, Buddy King, Stan Thompson, and Howie Houston gave the Crimson its fourth win in five starts. For the first three, it was their first pin of the season.

Smith was superb. Still wearing a cast, he finished off George Goldthorpe a minute and a half after the start of the second period.

Rod Skinner faced the Indians' second toughest man and his first opponent who uses leg holds. Tom Connors took over for Captain Bob Claflin who broke his nose in practice.

Houston disposed handily of his 165 pound opponent.

In the freshman aftermath, John Chafee's boys stopped St. George's School, 21-17, and at Attleboro Don Louria and Dan Ray copped the New England AAU 175 and 155 pound titles respectively.
