Crimson wrestlers turned in a sparkling performance against Columbia yesterday as they took six out of eight matches for a 24-8 triumph. This is the third Crimson victory in a row and was termed "a very good one for us at this time" by coach Bob Pickett. Last week the team crushed a weak Dartmouth squad, 27-3.

Captain Joe Noble and Bob Foster extended their unbeaten streaks to five apiece. Noble, at 157, defeated Gordon Gusney, 5-0, with a pin. Foster, at 177, won over Gene Apysel, 9-2. One of the two Crimson losses was suffered by Dave Skeels, at 130. Skeels, who was out of action last week with an injury, lost to Dave Clark, 7-4.

Brian Miles, at 123, scored Columbia's only other victory by pinning Dick Steinzig, 5-0. The most lopsided score of the day was provided by Rick Sullivan, at 167. Sullivan bested Louis Systosato 11-0. Another easy win went to Ted Robbins in the unlimited division. Robbins took a 5 0 match from Colombia's R.McCoal.

Next week the wrestlers will attempt to continue their winning way against Pennsylvania, here.
