Matmen Romp at Providence; Seven Match Streak Decisive

Putting together a string of seven straight victories last night after again falling behind in the lighter weight classes. Harvard's varsity wrestling team overpowered Brown, 23-13, in Providence.

In raising its record to 2-0, the Crimson wrestlers appeared to gain momentum in the third period of each match, "Brown had good personnel, probably as good as ours but we were in much better shape," coach John Lee said.

"We wrestled overall a little more consistently- Josh Henson in particular- but our physical condition really helped. In the third period their kids really tired," he added.

After Harvard lost the first two matches. Henson pinned his 134-1b. opponent at 7:20 of the third period. "He did a nice job, much better than his performance against Wesleyan," Lee said later.

Henson's victory got the Crimson rolling and his win was followed by decisions by Jon Peters, 142 lbs.; captain Pat Coleman, 150 lbs.; Collin Mangrum, 158 lbs.; Mark Faller, 167 lbs.; Richie Starr, 177 lbs.; and Dave Scanlon, 190 lbs.

Brown's heavyweight Frank Walsh pinned Harvard's Angelo Mareno in the third period to remain under-feated. The Bruins' season mark dropped to 1-1. Harvard won the freshman meet, 33-3.
