Treatment of Ear Iniuries
By ORION H. STUTEVILLE, D.D.S., M.D.
As far back as history has been recorded, there bas existed a characteristic in all races of men to prove one's superiority. Whether it is in secur~ the love of a chosen female, getting food for nourishment, waging
wars, or playing games. In many of these competitions there is no way
of one man actually proving to his adversary that he is the better, but,
in wrestling each man is entirely alone and has DO help, therefore, when
he wki&;it is because of his superiority. The fact that the history of
wreaUIng dates back as far as the earliest record of civilization is sumc1ent:to prove its popularity during the ages.
.
··one of the serious objections that parents have to their boys participatingin the present day free style wrestling as a sport is the too often
injured, or "cauliflower" ear. In any sport the' participants occasionally
receive injuries, but, in most of the sports the injuries .are of such
character as sprained ligaments, tom muscles, broken bones, dislocated
joints and occasionally one hears of death to a participant. Still with all
.these injuries;· except for the fatalities, the particiJlaDt usually recovers
from the injury and to aU outward appearances suffers no lasting dis.ability. In wrestling, when a boy has an ear injured and develops a
pollen ear, which is not given proper care and a deformity is allowed
W develop, that boy will carry the mark of a "cauliflower" ear for life.
.'these injuries go with the sport, but their occurrences can be decreased
"proper prevention and the deformities can be practically elim1nated by
proper treatment and management.

THE OFFICIAL NCAA WRESTLING GUIDE
The ear is made up by an elastic cartilage giving the ~ar its sha~e.
This cartilage is covered by a thin covering or perichondrmm, which 10
turn is covered by sparce subcutaneous tissue containing the blood vessels, lymph vessels, and nerves, which supply the ear, and finally this
layer is covered by skin. Because of the elasticity of the cartilage the ear
can be bent to most any position and will return to its normal shape.
However, when there is sufficient force applied to the ear to bruise the
tissues, or tear some of the vessels, the result is a swelling of the ear and
a stripping of the perichondrium away from the cartllage, and a collection of fluid, lymph, or blood between· the cartilage and the subcutaneous
tissues, figures I and In.
The character of this fluid depends upon the vessels torn. If only lymphatic vessels and small blood vessels are torn the fluid is straw colored
or pink. However, if larger blood vessels are torn the fluid is dark red.
The amQunt of fluid depends upon the extent of tissue torn from the
cartilage. Rarely does the collection of fluid occur behind the ear or
between the cartilage and the covering on the side toward the head. If it
does, the treatment is the same as will be outlined for treatment on the
lateral surface of the cartilage.
Occasionally the ear is injured severely enough by one blow to produce
a tearing which results in a collection of fluid and a deformity of the ear.
but the usual history is one of repeated injuries. The treatment of the
ear consists of withdrawing the accumulated fluid, figUres I and m, which
can be done with a syringe and a 19-9augeneed1e without caUSing much
pain. Then the displaced tissue is held in contact with the cartilage by
placing a pack in the ear, figure n, made up by saturating cotton in
;tle3:fble collod.ian and molding it into the ear and allowing it to dry and
remain in position for at least one week. The patient should not wrestle

TREATMENT OF EAR INJURIES
SUMMARY
1. Wrestling is one of the oldest sports.
2. The most serious objection to free style wrestling is the injury resulting in cauliflower ears.
3. Cauliflower ears can be prevented by:
a. Proper protection of the ears by headguards.
b. After injury the collected fluid should be aspirated and a colladian
pack placed.
c. The boy with an injured ear should not be allowed to wrestle until
healing has taken place.
4. Cauliflower ears can be treated by plastic surgery, however, it is better
to prevent them than to have to resort to a long drawn out repair
of an unnecessary deformity.
5. THE RESPONSmILITY OF MARKING A BOY FOR LIFE WITH A
CAULIFLOWER EAR RESTS UPON THE COACH WHO ALLOWS
THE BOY TO CONTINUE WRESTLING AFTER HAVING A
SWOLLEN EAR.
again until the ear ts healed, which will take two weeks with all things
favorable. The pack will come out if it is allowed to get wet while bathing
or if the patient exercises and becomes "sweaty". If there is further col-
i
61
I
I
,I
lection of fluid when the pack comes out it should be aspirated and a new
pack applied. After healing has taken place there will be some thickening of the ear, but there should not be any permanent deformity. Massage
helps to relieve the thickness. Permanent deformity. i.e., marked thickening or a change in the shape of the ear is the result of untreated injuries,
and repeated injuries. There are two causes for the deformities. The first
is the fact that when there is a collection of fluid in the ear, if allowed to
remain or to recur by repeated injuries and neglect, when it finally heals
there· is a replacement of the fluid by connective tissue or scar which
contracts making the ear thick and giving it a withered or cauliflower
appearance. The other cause is, after repeated injuries the cartilage is
either resorbed or fractured and does not hold the shape of the ear, but
allows it to curl up.
In routine workouts all the participants should protect their ears by
wearing headguards. As soon as any boy develops a sore ear he should be
examined and given treatment if necessary. and further activity should
be dictated by the individual giving the treatment and not by the coach
or manager of the team. Too often the boy, who gets an injured ear is
very essential to the team and he feels that if not allowed to take part
in an important meet, he is letting his fellow teammates down. His pride
7
causes him to insist on wrestling even against the advice of the coach,
disregarding the permanent effects that he may suffer.
The unfortunate wrestlers who finish their college career and have
cauliflower ears are still not without hope of help. Plastic Surgical repair
of the cauliflower ears may be resorted to, but this is certainly to be
avoided if possible as it is seldom possible to reconstruct an ear that approaches the normal appearing ear. The procedure may require a long
hospital stay and several operations.

Riding in Collegiate Wrestling
By ART GRIFFITH
Coach, Oklahoma A&M
B. R. Patterson asked me to write a short article on Riding in ~ollegiate
Wrestling I refused several times, and then gave In. I have wntten several articies on riding for magazines and invariably I got a basket full of
sarcastic letters; so, I decided to quit trying to reform the world. Recently
I read an article in the Coaches Bulletin by H. E. Kenney of the University of Illinois on this sUbject. I was so elated about hkQjoinin~ my side
of the crusade that I took a new hope and that's whit pwe m.
Here is a brief background on the situation.
.." ;.
.
Back in the '30's when I was.coaching in high schoo1i.J,UIJe4my Intramural wrestling classes to test out every crazy idea I h~. I 'WOUld write
a set of wrestling rules for each class and hold dual mate~:to ~ what
would happen. I reported a lot of findings to Dr. Clapp.AmPng those
things was the suggestion of the split period of 3-3-3 minutes, Ip that
particularly letter I said, (and I quote from my IDes) "We who teach
wrestling must divide our instructional time into four· parts. a.n~teach
(l) takedowns, (2) rides, (3) escapes and (4) methods ofp1nnhig. In
view of the above condition wouldn't it be logical to test the boy during
his match in each of the four departments?"
.'
Dr. Clapp thought it was a good idea and changedthe' .time to 3-3-3,
but few of the 'coaches and none of the o1!I.claJs went along with the
scheme.·
,
The idea was to use the first three minutes of a match to test the
effectiveness of each boys takedowns. The second three-minute period
was used to see if he could retain control of his opponent and the third
three-minute period would test the boy on how well he could execute his
moves to escape from underneath. Every boy was free, yea, encouraged to
pin his opponent at any time during the match.
You can well imagine the consternation in our ranks when, wrestling
in a distant part of the country, we would score a takedown and get set
for the ride of our life only to find that our opponent would quit cold
and look to the official for help. We had made a legal capture (something
we had learned to do) and had given 1ihe opponent a good riding (something else we had learned to do), but when our opponent had quit and
the spectators began to scream, the oJ!le1al stood us up. We then felt that
we were not being tested on anything except how to satisfy the official
(whom we did not even know).
Wait, that is not all. When my boy was underneath he did his level
best to execute some of the escapes he had been taught. The opponent
held on for dear life and the spectators shouted, "Give him some of his
own medicine".
It is a matter of record that no coach, in any dual matCh, has ever
had a boy taken off of mine for stalling. That ought to tell you something. We lose matches-sure, but when we do, you will see fifty cents
worth of wrestling.
So, I say for the thousandth time, stalling can always be traced to the
bottom man.

What College Wrestling Owes To
Prep School Coaches
By RAYMOND SWARTZ
Coach, U. S. H_af Academy
It is unlikely that more than one-half of one percent of the various
.college champions over the country are entirely developed by college
co&ches. Not enough credit has ever been given the high school wrestling
eQaeI:a for his all-important role of starting the young men out right. The
prOper holds to use for his build, speed and strength are of the utmost
iJ»p(ll'tance to the beginner as well as instruction in the right mental
,ttttude which is essential to the young man's ability to climb the heights
of championship wrestling.
T1Je fundamentals taught by the high school coach always stay with
thE!. beginner, his first 'ride, his first pin hold. If these fundamentals are
sound and thoroughly correct, then the college coach only has to put on
the polish that speeds the wrestler on his way.
COllege wrestling today owes a yearly debt of gratitUde to the hundreds
o f ~ prep school coaches who, after teaching a full load all day,
untOJJ8 '&mat out on the corner of the small high school gym and palnstaldbiltigoes over the simple .but all important details of an arm-drag
or a switch to a bunch of long-legged youngsters, some of whom will
one~be champs.
W'rMliDg.:js not like other sports that can change a boy's' style once his
orig1nalatyle is. set. It is then almost impossible to effectively change him.
As he develope.aDd grows in age and Weight, the die is cast. The high
school coach baa to.overcome many obstacles that the college coach barely
ever has to contend with-such as parental objections, a youth's lack of
confidence in himself. the unusual nervous pressure of competition that
causes a beginner to wear himself out before he goes into a bout.
A great college coach once said, "Championship is a state of mind."
That mental sureness of the champion has had its inception by some
good prep coach who, upon leading his beginner out to the corner said,
"00 in there and beat that guy-you are the best."
Some of the cleverest holds used today were developed by the prep
coaches. The author can think of at least a dozen which were developed
, by high school coaches in the past 10 years.
., One well-known college coach remarked, "I know of a dozen high school
,.coaches in those states that know as much wrestling and how to teach
:"~ as the same number of college coaches anYWhere in the United States."
,,"The NCAA Rules Committee on Wrestling appreciates the contribution
,~e by the prep and high school coaches of America and urges them
:. :~ make full use. of the Rules Committee by presenting suggestions to
::~rig Gardner, the scholastic representative on the committee.
~:'~~. Gardner knows the problems of the prep coach and scholastic
;~estling. The. collegiate association fully' realizes .that the sound pro;~ve policy in scholastic wrestling today is the reason for the rapid
',strides in college ranks.

COMMENTS PERTAINING TO WRESLING UNDERNEATH
Comments Pertaining To Wrestling
Underneath
By PAUL K. SCOTT
Coach, Co,nell College
The wrestler when underneath has as his objectives to reverse his
opponent or to escape from him. In addition he is confronted with the
problems of preventing his adversary trom keeping him tied up and t:nder
control, from being broken down, and from being forced into a fall. The
discussion to follow is devoted to several generalizations related to the
accomplishment of these ends by the wrestler.
There are conditions and factors Which f;hould determine at particular
times and instances whether the underneath wrestler should initiate an
offensive to escape or reverse and, if so, what his sequence of moves
should be, or whether he should concentrate on blocking or countering
his opponent's moves. Certainly he ShO\lld not' employ tactics \lllhich
would expose himself to strong features vf his tdversary's attack but
direct his efforts instead at his opponent's vulnerable points. He should
keep in mind that moves which may be regarded as sound when used
against a conventional type of opponent may turn out disastrously lor
him when attempted against a wrestler with a peculiar style or unusual
traits.
Knowing that the success of some moves is based primarily on leverage,
others on speed, strength, etc., the underneath man should £.void using
techniques that require ability and natural assets beyond his limitations.
For example, moves and holds which llre executed seemingly with ease
by outstanding amateur wrelltlers might well present formidable obstacles
for one who would try to imitate them but who lacks the necessary
makeup (physique, agility, strength, speed, etc.) to master them.
In working underneath the wrestler should be prepared to execute proficiently escapes and reversals from the various situations that are apt to
occur in addition to having a defense of blocks and counters to forestall
his opponent's moves. He should be able to go from one related move to
another and avoid the error of being single-tracked in employing his
tactics. To enhance his opportunities for successful moves he should make
every effort to maintain a strong position on his knees. No matter how
determined and well executed the underneath wrestler's attempts may be
there will be times when he will find himself still under control of his opponent and it will be necessary for him to stop and gather himself for a
new drive. He should end these situations, if possible, on his knees, having them well spread, hips low and elbows in. When his move to escape
or reverse gives evidence of meeting with success he should. drive it
through to completion and not make the mistake of easing up too soon
and being brought back under control of an alert adversary. In setting
up his moves he should keep some pressure on his opponent with his
back, shoulders or hips as well as working to keep parallel. He should
keep it fresh in his mind that to be successful underneat1,l deDends largely
Ie
11
on his ability to get his opponent off balance, stopping or retarding his
moves, and holding back while driving through his own maneuvers.
In some instances a wrestler could find himself so overmatched that his
entire efforts underneath would of necessity be defensive in natureblocking and resisting the top man's attack to the best of his ability,
knowing that any serious attempt to escape or reverse would likely get
him deeper into trouble. Too, in the opposite situation the underneath
man could be superior enough that practically any well executed technique he attempted for a reversal or escape would meet with success.
In this situation he could ignore sound procedures or use unorthodox
moves or holds without unduly jeopardizing himself. However, similar
tactics when employed against an opponent of equal status would likely
spell trouble for him. The techniques used by the underneath wrestler,
as Wtill as in all phases of wrestling, should be those that are known to
be sound for the individual in meeting first class competition, techniques
that are still practical when the wrestlers' reactions are slowed from
fatigue as well as at the start of the match.
Should the wrestler be particularly skillful in executing takedowns he
could elect to emphasize efforts to escape rather than reverse when underneath with the thought of scoring three points rapidly through an escape
and subsequent takedown rather than to strive for a reversal. In contrast,
when working under a man who possesses a superior take down he
shOUld concentrate on moves to reverse rather than to escape in most
instances.
''l'be score and the time remaining at various stages of the bout should
influence what course the wrestler underneath should follow. His
deoJaion might well be based on the necessity of protecting a lead or on
what he needs to score to go ahead or to tie the match. If the score and
remaining time would not permit him to tie or win by an escape his
efforts should be aimed at securing a reversal or a fall. Too, his moves
should be planned and timed so as not to lose successfully preformed
reversals or escapes by going off the mat before the moves are completed
or because of time running out prior to the completions.
It is generally deemed more advisable that when in the referee's posit,ton on the mat that the wrestler underneath should lash out with hard
purposeful moves at the signal to wrestle rather than wait to see what
,his opponent will attempt to do. However, some outstanding wrestlers
permit the top man to show his hand first and then make their bid.
Usually when contestants of equal status meet the scales tip in favor
of the man who does the leading and carries the battle all of the way.

SUGGESTIONS TO REFEREE
Suggestions to Referees
By CLIFFORD P. KEEN
Member, NCAA Wrestling Rules CommIttee
There is no such thing as a "perfect" referee in wrestling. In the first
place, there is perhaps no group of coaches in the land who are in :t>m:fect agreement on their interpretations of rules and in accord on therr
evaluations and jUdgment as to what constitutes superior wrestling ability. It follows that the decisions of a good referee, whose judgment and
knowledge of wrestling is as expert as either of the coaches, may be at
variance with one or the other or both of the coaches. Add to this factor
the natural prejudice which a coach has for one of his own boys and his
"wishful thinking" as to meritorious performances which- he is inclined
to attribute to his own protege during the course of a bout, and the
refere has "two strikes against him," regardless of what kind of omciating he does.
However, there are several important qualities which a referee must
possess to enable him to do a capable job of refereeing. First, he must
KNOW THE RULES. The rules should be read and stUdied until the
referee is thoroughly familiar with each detail of every provision. He
should visualize the operation of each and every provision, so that his
judgment may be instantaneous and correct when he gets to the actual
task of omciating. Before accepting an assignment. he should get in a
lot of practice by visiting a wrestling room and refereeing practice
matches. It is also highly desirable that clinics be arranged before the
season gets underway to enable a group discussion of rules and a composite interpretation of all provisions. with both referees and coaches in
attendance.
In addition to having a thorough knowledge of the rules, it is necessary for a referee to have a thorough knowledge of wrestling. He must be
cognizant of the technical aspect of wrestling holds; he must understand
wrestling from the wrestlers point of view; he must have the judgment to
carry out the spirit of the rules. together with a common-sense interpretation; he should be familiar with various styles of wrestling and have
the ability to understand and appraise the significance of various maneuvers which are used.
Some of the most dimcult decisions which must be made arise from
situations occurring at the edge of the mat. In this connectiOn, sound
discretion must be exercised in determining whether or not control was
obtained while the supporting points of either wrestler was on the mat;
whether wrestler A was pushed off by B or whether A got off the mat to
prevent a take down by B or if in a defensive position, to prevent being
pinned.
The determining factor for awarding points for a Take Down is control. This important decision is entirely up to the discretJiGn· of the
referee, so be sure that you understand thoroughly what constitutes control. In Escapes, the Escapee should not be awarded a point uiltil he is
definitely free. In Reverses the Reverser should not be awarded two (2)
points until he has definitely effected control over the Reversee.
Good judgment and s?und discretion must be exercised in the infticting
12
13
of penalties and the determination of illegal holds. The general rule
which prohibits the "use of any hold for punishment alone" or the use
of any hold "that endangers life or limb"· gives the referee a wide range
of discretion, so his judgment must be· sound and his discretion exercised
with wisdom and understanding.
Consistency is the golden virtue of a good referee. Calling a decision one
way on one occasion and dfiferently on another under similar cirCllDlstances can easily lead to confusion and result in an injustice to the contestants. Don't be a "baseball umpire" by endeavoring to make up for a
decision that you think you may have called wrong. In any close match,
there are apt to be many close situations~ In which a decision must be
made. Be prepared to meet them in a friendly, yet in a positive and
authoritative manner.
Tbe referee should be dressed in a neat-appearing uniform. _The accepted dress consists of white or light-colored trousers, a "clean" white
spc:il't Bhirt or regular dress white shirt with a dark bow tie. and with neat
gymnasium shoes. Don't try to be the "big show." The probability is that
the spectators are paying to see the contestants perform and not b
referee.
Make all announcements in a clear voice and in a positive manner.
When points are awarded. they should be announced clearly and
deftn1tely. with appropriate gestures being given to signify exactly what
the decision is.
Never be guilty of letting the match get out of your control There
ave been some sad situations in which the referee has become 10 CCIIl- .
1'IBed that he has rende1'ed himself utterly incapable of perfCJI'ID!DI his
dtlty in an efficient manner. Sometimes this may be caused by fatigue,
eepecially in tournaments where there are no relief referees proyided.
It is hfghly desirable to have more than two referees in any Jarae
tournament so as to prevent this possibility. Another serious p<8tblUty
esists. with varying degrees of severity in di1ferent sections of the C01D1try. and that is the behavior of the spectators and of different coaches.
The referee must be absolutely aloof and impregnable to any sort of
inttmidation. Any referee who permits the conduct of the spectators or
the complaining of a coach to infiuence his decision is ceriainlY not a
competent person to be entrusted with the high responsibility· to which
he has been assigned. The referee should certainly not show a belligerent
attitude toward the spectators, contestants Ol' the coaches; but at the
same time. he must be fortitled with sumclent courage to require an
atmosphere which is compatible with good $POIl'tsmanship and fair play
The referee should start (and finish) each match with absolutely Jlopre~
conceived notions as to the relative ability of the two contestants' nor
should any pel'llOlUll prejudice exist in his mind that would affect Ais
deo1sion in the sUghtest degree. So far as a good referee is concerned
QIle .of the contestants wears "black" tights and the other wears "red':
tfIht;s. The winner must be determined 100 percent on the basis of what
be does on the mat in that particWar match; he must be jUd~ In
accordanee with an honest interpretation and an intelligent application
Of the rules.
NATIONAL COLLEGIATE WRESTLING CHA,n'IO.\:SHIPS
National Collegiate Wrestling
Championships
By B. R. PATTERSON
Editor, NCAA Wrestling Guide
The 18th annual National Collegiate Wrestling Championships were
held at Lehigh University, Bethlehem, Pa., Friday and Saturday, March
19 and 20, 1948.
Unlike the usual tournaments, Olympic Rules were used and bC'th contestants and spectators were greatly confused over the technicalities.
However, the tournament was witnessed by capacity crowds and after
the Friday sessions much of the difficulties were straightened out and
Saturday's finals went along on scheduled time. It is the consensus of
opinion of all concerned that a much better tournament would have been
had under our American rules.
However, after the final Olympic Tryouts it was the general opinion
that the tournament under Olympic rules was a help to the college men
and officials. The experience was worth while for the contestants and
officials. Olympic weight classes as well as rules were used. A clinic for
officials was held the evening of the 18th of March.

The National AAU Wrestling Championship held at Hofstra College,
Hempstead, L. I., New York, April 15, 16, 17, 1948, will go down in AAU
history as one of the best organized, conducted and successful tournaments ever held. Every detail was taken care of by the local group in
charge, and the usual protests and complaints of other tournaments were
conspicuous by their absence. Only one minor pr(}test was brought up,
and that was amicably settled to the complete satisfactioo of the two
parties concerned. This writer did not hear a single word of complaint
<>n the part of the contestants, who in all instances exemplified,- to the
fullest, every essence of good sportsmanship, competitive spirit, condition,
and will to win; each did his utmost and gave his best in all matches
which were hard fought, fast and interesting to watch.
Four wrestlers qualified in each weight class for the Final Olympic
Tryouts at Ames, Iowa to meet the qualifiers from the National and
District Tourneys.
Robert Kit, 125.5 Class, of the U. S. Navy, was selected as the outstanding wrestler of the tournament and was presented with the Hempstead
Police Department trophy. Kit, along with Charles Rideneour of the
:N. Y. Athletic Club, Lou Kachiroubas, Chicago, Richard Hauser, Cornell
College of Iowa, and Eddie Collins, N. Y. Athletic Club will be as great a
group of wrestlers in one weight class as ever assembled.
Probably the wrestler who attracted the most interest of the spectators
-was Henry Wittenberg, of the N. Y. Police Sports Association, 191-pound
.class, who for the seventh straight year successfully defended his title.
.A strong, clever, fast wrestler, Henry should make the Olympic team.
:He was awarded the trophy for gaining the quickest fall of the tourna:ment, nine seconds.
.
The referees proved efficient and were well familiar with the rUles;
'fair and consistent in decisions. The judges, as a Whole, were exceptional
:and executed their duties in fine manner, and in every case, there is no
.question but that they named the best qualified winner.
The final session was elaborately planned and carried out, with a 100: piece band, parade of officials and contestants, and formal presentation
· of prizes to the winners. Manager Jack McDonald and F. D. Gardner
,deserve much credit for the success of the tournament.
As m(}re tournaments are c(}nducted under the IAWF rules, and faster
:more aggressive wrestling is seen, more coaches, contestants and spec· tators voice the opinion that these rules should be followed in the U. S.
· with the exception of the quick fall.
"". Pollowing are the first four place winners in the National AAU Senior
'Wrestling Championships:
:'114.5 1. Malcolm McDonald, U. S. Navy, 1 bad mark.
2. Grady Penninger, Oklahoma, A&M, 5 bad marks.

championships, March 5-6 at the University of Illinois.
Purdue claimed the team crown with 24 points, with Illinois, Iowa and
Michigan all holding runnerup position with 23. Six different schools had
individual champions, and Minnesota which had three ranked no better
than 'fifth for team points with 19. Other totals were Ohio State 18,
Wisconsin 7, Indiana 6 and Northwestern 4.
Following the pattern of the Olympic year, 10 weights were wrestled
instead of traditional eight, with added classes at 114% and 191 pounds.
Three 1947 champions retained titles, although two were at different

THE OFFICIAL NCAA WRESTLING GL'IOE
REnEWS OF 1948 COLLEGIATE SEASOX
By CHARLES H. PHIPPS
Athletic Publicity, Case Institute
The 11th Annual Interstate Intercollegiate Individual Invitational Tournament
was held at Case Institute of Technology on March 12 and 13. With 106
entrants, representing 21 colleges, it was the largest meet in the history
of the tournaments, which began back in 1934.
Primarily, the Four-I is, as its full name implies, is an individual and
not a team tournament. For this reason many colleges send only their
better men, and not a full team. The competition is always on a high
plane, and many excellent matches are assured during the tournament.
When the Four-I was first conceived, its purpose was to give the
smaller colleges of the Midwest an opportunity to test their men for
national competition, before entering the NCAA meet. These colleges
would then have an equal advantage with the Eastern, Southern, and
Western colleges, whose conferences have similar tournaments.
This year, with such a large representation, it was felt that this goal
had been achieved. From the Four-I Tournament, eight men went on to
enter the NCAA Tournament. Seven of these men placed, the other man
being forced to withdraw due to an injury. The places gained by them
in the NCAA were a first, two seconds, a third, and three fourths.
In the lighter weight divisions, Steve D'Augustino of Loc}chaven edged
Bob Mann of Illinois State Normal for the 121-pound title. George Lewis,
NCAA champion, of Waynesburg, advanced through the tournament to
take the 128-pound title. At 136, Tony Verga of Lockhaven decisioned
Ralph Fuller of Waynesburg.
The three defending championships, Don Anderson, 145, of Michigan
State; Ed Maro, 175, of Case, and Bob Maldegan, heavyweight, of
Michigan State, successfully defended their titles. Maldegan, 6 ft. 4 and
230 pounds, decisioned Dick Simmons, 6 ft. 7 and 270 pounds, of Wheaton
in one of the more spectacular matches of the finals.
Peter Willson, 155, of Wheaton, defeated B11l Santel of Edinboro, after
each had emerged from a highlv competitive field. Santel had defeated
Gene Glass of Kent, former NAUU Junior champion, and Dick Kraince
of Case, undefeated in 13 meets, whlle Willson had decisioned previously
undefeated Joe Yourchik of Waynesburg in the semifinals.
At 165, Gale Mikles, former NCAA champion, decisioned Don Thomas
of Waynesburg in a well-contested match.
Under the direction of Claude Sharer, Case Institute of Technology,
the Four-I Tournament has achieved a reputation of not only good
wrestling, but efficient handling, and a friendly hospitality. Each individual winner receive a permanent trophy, and the second, third and
fourth place men received medals.
As indication of the increasing popularity of collegiate wrestling in
the Midwest, the gym was filled to capacity with close to 1000 in
attendance at each evening session.

Big' Seven
.The University. of Oklahoma S<,lOners, fav<?rites to
wm the 1948 BIg Seven wrestlmg champIOnship,
didn't disappoint their followers at the 13th annual tournament held at
the University of Colorado. The Sooners were denied a first place tie by a
single point in the '47 tourney but couldn't be stopped as thev dethroned
the Iowa State Cyclones and fought off a strong challenge by the ambitious University of Nebraska Cornhuskers.
The Sooners sent five men into the finals and three of them took titles
back to Norman. Nebraska and Kansas State each annexed a pair of
championships and Iowa State took one. The tourney, directed by William C. Lam, Colorado wrestling coach, sparkled with close matches. The
athletes followed the form chart closely except in the 155-pound finals
when Delbert Bush, Iowa State's defending champion, was upset by
Oklahoma's Leonard Marcotte.
Surprise team in the tournament was Nebraska. When Coach Pat Patterson left Kansas State to tutor the Cornhuskers' matmen, followers of
the sport knew Nebraska soon would be strong contender for top honors.
However, Nebraska's jump to the No.2 spot in '48 came sooner than expected and should be fsir warning to Oklahoma to "be prepared" in
1949.
Ray Jenkins will make his debut as Colorado's wrestling coach next
season. Jenkins, a heavyweight regular for the Buffs for three seasons,
has been coach of track and wrestling at Colorado School of Mines.
Lam will devote his time to his duties as business manager of athletics.
The 1948 scoring: Oklahoma 35, Nebraska 30, Iowa State 28, Kansas
State 18, Colorado 11. Missouri and Kansas do not have wrestling teams.

weights, and scoring 51 points. Colorado College was second with 32
points, Colorado Mines third with 23 and Montana state fourth with
seven points. In the Rocky Mountain region wrestling has increased in
popularity and it was noted that spectators are becoming more familiar
with the wrestling rules and methods of scoring points.
TIle Colorado State wrestling team experienced one of its most successful years, in winning 11 meets and losing only to Iowa State and
Iowa University by two points each. Ivan Gilbaugh, Colorado state 128pound wrestler, was undefeated during the 1948 season.

The first meet in history with every league
school represented climaxed the Mountain States
Conference wrestling season for 1948. Wrestling, always popular on the
eastern slope of the Rocky Mountains, made a decided comeback and
returned to "normal" following post-war adjustments.
Colorado A&M College with 41 points won the first full conference
meet, after piling up league titles on the eastern slope for 17 of the past
18 wrestling seasons. When Utah University, Utah State Agricultural
College and Brigham Young University-all western slope representatives
-came over the hills to the meet in Fort Collins, wrestling throughout
the conference was greatly strengthened. In previous years, Denver
University, Wyoming University and Colorado A&M had settled eastern
division championship honors on a dual meet basis.
Wyoming U. took second honors in the conference with 32 points and
Denver U. third with 24. Utah State had 11 and Brigham Young U. and
Utah U. tied with six points each. Colorado Aggies dominated in individual champions with four followed by Wyoming U. with three and
Denver U. with one. Forty-three out of a possible 48 entries took part.

In addition to the boost given wrestling in this area by assignment
of the conference meet, two other events took place which brought the
Rocky Mountain area into the forefront of wrestling circles: Designation
of Fort Collins, Colo. (home of Colorado A&M) as the site for the 1949
NCAA wrestling tournament was one, and holding of a district Olympic
tryout after the 1948 season ended the other.

West Coast wrestling has developed more in the
past season than ever before. Insofar as participating schools and spectator interest are concerned, the sport is now back
to its pre-war status. The quality of performance has also improved and
shortly will equal the standards of the past. The increase in high school
wrestling all along the West Coast is particularly encouraging and promises a definite increase in the quality of college wrestling for the future.
The return of intercollegiate wrestling to the Pacific Northwest is a
healthy indication for the progress of the sport. Oregon State College,
Washington State College, the University of Washington and the College
of Puget Sound actively supported wrestling this year and next year will
doubtless witness a still greater increase in collegiate wrestling in this
area.
In California 10 colleges and universities participated during the season and there is a promise of still further increase next year. In general
the outlook for wrestling is very favorable.
'
In the North, Oregon State College was undefeated in its collegiate
schedule for the season. Washington State had a strong team and
appears to have the best prospects for next year. In the South, San
Diego State College also went undefeated and tied with San Jose State
College for first place in the California Collegiate Conference championships. California Polytechnical Institute finished a close third with
Santa Barbara State and Fresno State trailing.

The final and most representative collegiate event of the West Coast
wrestling season was the Pacific Coast Intercollegiate Championships
which included representatives from both the Northern and Southern
Divisions of the Pacific Coast Conference, the California Collegiate
Conference and the Far Western Conference. The championship, held
at Berkeley over a tWO-day period with two mats in operation, produced
the best college wrestling seen on the Pacific Coast in a decade. The
best turnout of spectators in a long time followed the matches (held
under Olympic rules) with great interest and enthusiasm.

Blenkinsop; second row-Carlon. (m~nager), Cavagnarro, Woodworth, Buhler,

Oregon State returned to the mat wars for
the first time since 1942 this year and ruled
as undefeated champion of the Northern DiVision, Pacific Coast conference. In addition, the Beavers placed fifth in the west coast intercollegi/l.te meet held in Berkeley, Cal., when Lou Piha won the 125Yz lb. division
lloDd Norm Martinson the unlimited class.
. Coached by Bob Antonacci, a former national champion wrestler, the
Corvallis matmen surprised everyone by copping six straight dual meets
against northwest competition-mostly by lop-sided scores. All seven
members of the team finished high in final standings at Berkeley. In
addition to the titles won by Piha and Martinson, the other Beavers
finished as follows: Norm Southwell, 147Yz, and Paul Buhler, 160Yz, each
were third; Allan Gray, 174, and Glen Miller, 136Yz, grabbed off fourths,
and Ray Zielinski, 191, was fifth in his weight division.
Large crowds were on hand for most of the matches this year, and the
plan of holding the meets immediately after basketball games in the
Men's gymnasium proved highly successful. With most of the 1948 team
back next season, the Beavers anticipate another strong year in defense
of their northern division crown.

4nxious to get this bout over with in a hurry much to the displeasure of Gustine
.of Lock Hat'en State the harassed gentleman on the bottom. Interested onlookers at this NCAA scrap are Dutch Lehman, referee, and Wes Brown, judge.
Reviews of 1948 Scholastic Season
By RALPH ANDERTON
Brown University
Interest in schoolboy wrestling is increasing
steadily since the war and we now have six public
and three private schools in active participation. The state Tournament
is the climax of the season and this year was held at City Gym in
Providence on March 6. Competition was so keen that the team champion was not determined until the l75-pound class was contested.

Wrestling was started in Virginia Class A High
Virginia
Schools for the first time in 1948. Woodberry Forest,
Augusta Military Academy, and The Virginia School for the Deaf and
Blind, all prep schools, have had wrestling for some years. Granby High
SChool and Norview High of Norfolk, and Jefferson Sr. of Roanoke,
started wrestling for the first time this year and had a complete wrestling schedule. Granby and Norview wrestled several out-of-state teams,
including Mepham High of Long Island.
Granby High School was undefeated in the State High and Prep
SChool circles, and Granby also won the State Senior AAU Wrestling
Championship in Richmond on March 20, 1948, with seven individual
championships.
High School wrestling is definitely going forward in Virginia, and
several schools have given indications that they will start wrestling next
year. A State tournament is planned for March 11 and 12, in 1949, at
the University of Virginia.
The Baltimore Evening Sun
The Maryland 'SCholastic Association Wrestling
League enjoyed another successful season in 1948
with Patterson Park High School grabbing most of the laurels.
For the first time in recent years, there was a dual meet league in
addition to the traditional tournament at the close of the year. Two
championship&-dual and tournament-were thus available, and Patterson won both.
The East Baltimore aggregation swept through the dual campaign with
just one tie-against McDonogh-besmirching its record. McDonogh, 1947
tournament champion, got off to a slow start and finished third while
SOuthern High, a rising mat power, lost only to Patterson and nailed
down second place.
Other teams in the dual meet league were City, Gilman, Mount St.
Joseph and Poly.
Although each team fought hard in dual meets, stress was placed on
the tournament, which was the 28th sponsored by the MSA. Severn,
Friends and Maryland School for the Blind entered the tourney along
with the seven dual representatives and the affair got under way Friday,
March 5 at Hopkins gym.
Patterson, SOuthern and McDonogh were pre-tourney favorites with
St. Joe a possible "dark horse," and things turned out exactly that way.
Patterson scored 41 points, Southern 27, McDonogh 22'h and St. Joe 22.
Gilman, Poly and Severn tied for fifth with 9% while Maryland School
copped 5%. City and Friends did not score.
For winning the tourney, Which was held in the Hopkins gym over a
two-day period (sessions Friday afternoon and night and Saturday
morning and afternoon), Patterson received the Lehigh Trophy, presented annually to the winner of the affair. It was Patterson's (coached
by Joseph Mueller) second tournament championship.
Considerable interest surrounded the awarding of the Best Wrestler
trophy, also put up by Lehigh alumni. The decision, made by the three
omcials who refereed the finals on Saturday afternoon, went to Ernie
Fischer, SOuthern High's 145-pouRd champion.

At long last the State High School Athletic Asso•
ciation included wrestling on the high school program and approved a State High School Wrestling Tournament which
was co-sponsored by West Virginia University and the State High SChool
Athletic Association. Beckley and Parkersburg High Schools have the
unique distinction of being the participants in the First Annual High
SChool Wrestling Championship which was held at Morgantown on
lIIarch 12, 1948, and won by Parkersburg.
With the green light fiashed in favor of high school wrestling every
etfort will be exerted by the officials of West Virginia University to stimulate greater interest in the sport by holding demonstration workshops in
wrestling in various sections of the state. In time and with aggressive
and intelligent leadership, high school wrestling in the Mountain State
should equal the quality of wrestling in any other state.
Louisiana
Winning nine out of 12 individual crowns, the Holy
Cross wrestling team retained its fourth consecutive
State crown on February 28, the date of the finals. The matches were held
at the New Orleans Athletic ClUb gym, and the two days' activities were
attended by the largest crowds in local prep grappling history.
Brother Melchior's matmen entered the finals on Saturday with 27

Captain Jack Hecker, winner in past wrestling bouts, retamed hIs undefeated crown in defeating Leslie Nicholson, also of Holy Cross, in the

That interscholastic wrestling is rapidly returning
to its pre-war status has been indicated by the closeness of dual meet scores and the hot competition which prevailed during
the past season. Schools which had been forced to drop wrestling for
various reasons now have returned to the fold and two new schools have
introduced wrestling in this section. Experienced coaches have returned
to their positions and, after using 1947 to reteach and reorganize, have
come up with bigger and better teams for 1948. New and younger men
have assumed positions as wrestling coaches and should do well also.
LakeWOOd, not being content to win the West Side champoinship last
year, came through again this year to win the East-West Senate title by
taIdDg all matches except one which was tied with West Tech. Marshall,

Exceptional team balance won the 1948 Illinois
State High School championship for Champaign
Senior High School, coached by Roy Swindell, in finals held March 12
and 13 at University of Illinois. Champaign had qualified eight wrestlers
from its own sectional meet February 27 and 28 and everyone of these
qualifiers had a part in the 27-point total which the Maroons compiled
in the State meet.
Norton (Pete) Compton and Paul Riggins were Champaign's individual
ehlmlplons at 138 and 145 pounds respectively. The team also had two
seconds, one third, and three fourths. Second place honors were tied between Winnetka (New Trier) and Chicago (Tilden Tech). New Trier
had. two individual title winners but lacked Champaign's overall team
strength.
State finals were conducted in George Huff Gymnasium under direction of Glenn C. Law, University of Illinois wrestling coach. Of 39 teams
entered in sectional competition, 37 sent one or more entries to the finals.
Competition was keen and quality of wrestling excellent. Twenty-four
falls were recorded in the bouts.
Sectional meets were held at Champaign, Cicero (Morton), Des Plaines
(Maine) Granite City, Harvey (Thornton Township), and Rock Island.
. A qualifying meet for Chicago high schools also was held during the

High School wrestling reached a new high during
the 1947-48 season.
Early in December invitational tournaments were held at Eagle Grove,
Mason City and Davenport, while other high schools opened their season
with a dual meet.
The District meets were held at Clarion, Des Moines, Cresco and
Davenport.
Through the four district tournaments 26 Iowa schools qualified
wrestlers to participate in the State tournament. This is the greatest
number of schools ever to be represented in the State event since the
district elimination system was inaugurated.
The 27th annual State tournament was held at Mason City. By using
two mats and four referees the two-day tournament was run off in
precision time.
The Cresco team coached by Christy Flanagan won the State title.

The team captured four individual titles and one second plus two fall
points to collect 25 points. Earlier in the season Cresco also won the
North Eastern Conference meet. Clarion High School, the defending
champion, followed close by scoring 21 points. The final session of the
tournament was watched by 3200 spectators.
The three former champions who regained titles in heavier classes
were: Ed Nelson, Eagle Grove, Don Miller, East Waterloo, and Don

The Oklahoma High 'School Wrestling Tournament was held at Tulsa Daniel Webster High School
for the third consecutive year on February 27 and 28, with 140 of Oklahoma's topnotch wrestlers furnishing the fans with plenty of thrills and
moments of excitement while competing for one of the four medals
awarded in each weight division.
Tulsa Daniel Webster amassed 32 points to eke out Tulsa Will Rogers
who had 29 points, for the team championship trophy. Blackwell and
Tulsa Central finished close behind with 28 and 27 points respectfully
to make the 28th Oklahoma High School Wrestling Tournament one of
the closest finishes.
Bill Borders, Tulsa Daniel Webster's three year State champion, was
elected the outstanding wrestler of the tournament by the coaches and
received a medal for the honor.
Over 2000 spectators packed the Webster gymnasium for the finals
and the tournament was a financial success since it netted around $1000.
Wrestling is definitely on the upgrade in Oklahoma and the Oklahoma
High School Wrestling Coaches Association's president, John Divine,
appointed Ross Flood, Southwestern Tech, and Wayne Johnston, Hinton,
to study plans that will enable beginning teams to compete against
comparable competition.

Wrestling in Missouri is concentrated around the
St. Louis area. This area l!Iroduces a greater number
of teams than the rest of the state combined, mainly due to the fact
55
that several years ago the Kansas City high schools dropped wrestling
from their athletic programs and have not yet continued the sport.
Competition was extremely keen in the St. Louis Suburban League.
Six teams, Ritenour, Normandy, Kirkwood, Maplewood, Ferguson and
Webster Groves, battled for the championship. Ritenour High School
was crowned Suburban League champion finishing the season with 12
victories and no defeats. Normandy with a record of 10 victories and two
defeats finished second.
The State Tournament was held February 22 and 23 at Booneville with
Kemper Military Academy, the host school. sharing its excellent athletic
facilities with the high schools of Missouri. We are grateful to Major
Allison, who skillfully planned and conducted this tournament. Ritenour
High School placed first in the tournament by capturing four firsts, four
seconds and one fourth along with three pins for a total of 36 points.
Other teams scoring were Kirkwood 27, Normandy 23, Maplewood 17,
Webster Groves 12, Kemper Military School 10, University City 9 Soldan
5, Missouri Military Academy 4, and Ferguson 3.

Southern California was divided into four districts once again in 1947-48 and tournaments were
held in each district at Inglewood, Whittier, EI
Centro and San Diego to qualify first and second
place winners for the final Southern California Interscholastic Federation
championship tournament which was held at Herbect Hoover High
School in san Diego, March 20. Three mats were uiWd to help make this
tournament the finest in the history of t~ 23-year-old annual event.
Central High School of EI Centro won six first places and scored a. total
of 59 points to win complete possession of the coveted team pdze for the
first time. Last year it tied with San Diego for top honors. This is the
second time in 23 years that this team title has been won by any other
school other than Whittier or San Diego. EI Monte won top honors in
the early 30's.
Another feature of wrestling in Southern California during the 1947-48

2. In addition to the above, participants in the National Collegiate
Athletic Association tournament must represent institutions which
are active individual or allied members of the National Collegiate
Athletic Association and must conform to the rules of eligibility
adopted by the N.C.A.A., to apply to all annual championship meets

United States with acceptable scholastic and athletic standards may
be elected to membership in the National Collegiate Athletic Association. To comply with "acceptable scholastic standards" the institution must be on the approved list of the accepted accrediting
agency of the district in which the institution is located.
An institution is considered as having "satisfactory athletic
standards" on approval of its standards by a two-thirds majority
of the active members of the N.C.A.A. in the Association District
in which the institution is located. Further information regarding
application for membership may be obtained from the Secretary

Rule 3-Section 1 (Continued)
It is recommended for competition and for practice that a moleskin, canton flannel, rubber, or plastic mat cover be provided sufficiently large to cover the mat proper and all supplementary mats and
to fold under the edge of the supplementary mats for a distance of at
least one foot on all sides. This cover should be stretched tight and
should be held in place by ropes, or tape fastening the mat cover to
the under side of the supplementary mats, or by lacing the cover underneath the mats. The wrestling area should be marked off on the
mat Cover by painted lines two inches in width. At the center of the
mat proper there shall be similarly painted a circle ten feet in diameter. Whenever the match is started or resumed with contestants in
neutral position on the feet, the contestants shall be within this circle
and throughout the match contestants are expected to wrestle within
this circle so far as possible. There shall be placed at the center
of the cover an arrow head twelve inches long, placed perpendicular
to and pointing away from the timer's table and not pointing towards
either team. This arrow designates the place where matches are to
start and the direction wrestlers are to face when starting the wrestling from "the referee's position on the mat."
2. The uniform shall consist of full length tights, an outside
wrestling supporter or close fitting outside short trunks, light heelless gymnasium shoes laced by means of eyelets, and shirts, if they
are required in accordance with the following provision: The home
institution shall decide whether shirts shall or shall not be worn;
however, the visiting team or teams shall not be required. to wear
shirts unless they are so notified by the home management at least
ten days before the meet. If shirts are worn, they shall be sleeveless;
there shall be no fasteners of any sort on the shoulders, and they
shall be fastened down at the crotch. (The shirt recommended is
the "V" type, fastened underneath the crotch by small hooks and
eyes.)
The Wrestling Rules Committee strongly recommends that protective headgear be used in all practice and competition. The soft
headgear does not give adequate protection to an ear.
It happens occasionally that two contestants look so much alike
dressed so similarly that it is very difficult for the Referee

and spectators to distinguish them. In all dual m:ets or to~rna
ments, the home management should have immedIately avaIlable
some provision for clearly identifying the contestants. Such provision may be by means of colored anklets, numbers, ?r any other
plan which will accomplish the purpose. V See questIOns and answers.
(IJ) In tournaments the contestant who is to represent his institution must be named before the drawings are made.
(c) In dual meets the home team's representative shall be sent
un to the mat first, and he cannot be withdrawn or replaced.

Any contestant failing to make weight at the maximum time
mutually agreed upon, shall be allowed until the minimum time to
make weight (see Rule 5, I-A and I-B). Contestants who then
fail to make the required weight shall be rejected.
N ofe. Excessive weight reduction has hurt, and is still hurting, some contestants and our sport in general. The National Collegiate Wrestling Rules
Committee urges that the control of weight reduction be placed in the hands of
the College Physician. It is recommended that the College Physician
72

73
personally weigh all candidates for the team at the beginning of the trainmg
season and that the W resUng Coach shall be r~uired to furnish the College
Physician during the regular training season daily records of the weights of
all candidates for the team taken at the beginning and at the end of each
practice period, and that no wrestler shall be allowed to participate in any
contest without the approval of the College Physician.
4. Communicable Disease to Disqualify
At the time of the weighing-in on the opening day of the annual
National Collegiate Tournament, a physician or physicians shall
be present to examine all contestants for communicable diseases and
shall disqualify any contestant who, in their judgment, will endanger
other participants. In other meets it is recommended that a medical
examination of all contestants be made :1t the time of the weighingin, and the presence of a communicable disease or any other condition which in the opinion of the examining physician makes the
-participation of that individual inadvisable, should be considered
iull and sufficient reason for disqualification.

Rule 7-Section I-A (Continued)
place rounds in the upper half-bracket are Nos. 1,3 and 7. We will
assume that No. 1 wins from No.3 and that No.7 then wins from
No.1. In the lower half-bracket only two contestants (Nos. 12 and
10) have been defeated by the finalist (No. 13) and therefore only
one match is nece~sary to decide the third place finalist from the
lower half-bracket. 'vVe will assume that No. 12 wins this match.
He meets No.7 in the final consolation match in this weight. The
winner is awarded third place and the loser fourth place.
C. All third place matches, except the final one, should be run off
during the next to the last session of the meet. The final third place
match in each weight should be held during the final session of the
meet and each one should immediately follow the final first place

team trophies be formally presented at all tournaments immediately
following the completion of the competition in a ceremony made as

at the end of the third two-minute period, the Referee must name the
winner. (See Rule 7, Section I-A.).
3. Length of Tournament and Dual Meet Matches When
Falls Occur.
A. If a fall occurs in the first period this terminates the
match. When a fall occurs in a second period, it should be
understood that the third period terminates at the elapsed time at
which the fall terminated the previous period. Example: "A" wins
fall in second three-minute period with "B" in two minutes. The
third period is really only two minutes in length, as it would be
impossible for "E" to win this match after the two minutes have
elapsed.
4. Intermissions.
A. Three-Minute and Two-Minute Periods. Only such
time shall intervene between the first, second or third period
of any match as may be required for the Referee to bring contestants
into proper position for the next period, except when the second
three-minute or second two-minute period is terminated by a fall,
in which case a one-minute rest will be allowed.

manner clear to all present whenever the match reverts to a "No
Advantage" status. For the sake of uniformity, it is recommended
t~at all Referees use the new set of National Collegiate Officials'
SIgnals. (See page 107 of this Guide.)
RULE 9-BRINGING CONTESTANTS BACK TO MAT AFTER
GOING OUTSIDE
1. ~hen the contestants are interlocked off or on the edge of the
mat, time shall be taken out and contestants shall be brought to the
No.9-LEGAL HEAD·SCISSORS (Figure 4 Head.Scissor).
The straight head-scissor is illegal.
The Figure 4 Head-Scissor is considered legal
\\'hen taken as shown abO\'c, WIth the hold on eIther SIde of the face.
Note 2. It must be borne in mind that in securing a position of advantage
the control of the defending wrestler is the determining factor, and that
failure of the offensive wrestler to get his head out from under the defending
wrestler's arm does not necessarily prevent the offensive wrestler from gaining control.
Note 3. The latter part of Section 1, p. 81, but not Note 2, applies also
when one contestant has had the Po,ition of Advantage on the mat immediately before leaving the mat.
2. The Referee shall indicate orally, and by pointing in such a
manner that all present may know, whenever a contestant has
earned the Position of Advantage, and he shall also indicate in sill]ilar manner during the progress of the match which opponent }n.;

center of the mat. Contestants are "off the mat" when any supporting parts of both wrestlers' bodies are off the mat proper except
when a fall is imminent-in which case Rule 15, Section 2-A and B
shall apply. The position to be assumed by contestants on resumption of match shall be determined as follows:
A. If neither contestant held a position of advantage immediately
before leaving the mat, the match shall be resumed with contestants
on their feet in neutral position, except when Referee applies
penalty indicated in Rule 13, Section 2, A and C. (See Rule 8.
Section 1.)
B. If a contestant held a position of advantage immediately before
leaving the mat, on resumption of the match this contestant shall be
given the Position of Advantage in the "Referee's Position on ~he
Mat" (see Rule 10, Section 3), except when Referee applies
penalties indicated in Rule 13, Sections 2B, 3 and 6.
Note. In case contestants leave the mat proper on their feet the. a;bove rule
still applies unless the defensive wrestler has secured a neutral posJtJon before
cl"ossillg the boundary of the mat proper.
RULE IO-LEGAL AND ILLEGAL HOLDS AND POSITIONS
1. Illegal Holds. Any hold, lock or grip shall be allowed except
the hammerlock above the right angle, twisting hammerlock, overscissors, straight-head scissors, front head lock, strangle holds, full
(double) nelson, toe holds, certain body slams (see Note 6), holds
over mouth, nose, eyes (i.e., over front of face) or front of
throat, interlocking of fingers, hands or arms around body or legs
while contestants are on the mat, bending or twisting of fingers for
punishment or to break holds, or any hold used for punishment
alone.
Note 1. Attention is called to the fact that if the double wristlock is brought
up into a twisting hammerlock, it becomes an illegal hold and must be stopper!
by the Referee and treated as any other illegal hold, and no contestant shall
be allowed to retain any advantage he secures by use of the wristlock in
this illegal way. The Referee is further instructed that he should anticipate
danger of injury from this hold and stand so that he may block the double
wristlock before it reaches the danger point.
No. ll-LEGAL FOOT (INSTEP) HOLD.
The defensive wrestler is allowed to grasp instep, heel or ankle to break such holds as
body-scissors, leg-ride, etc.; provided the foot is not drawn up to the point where. in
the opinion of the Referee, it endangers knee or hip-joint.
The double wristlock is legal if the direction of the force is perpendicular
to the l!:mg axis of the body. Illegal if the force is applied parallel to the
long aXIs of the body. The same rule applies to the so-called Chicken Wing.
Note 2. The Committee calls the attention of the coaches and contestants
to the fact that injuries are sometimes caused by a lack of knowledge on
the part of contestants of such holds as the double wristlock (which may
cause inj ury when used legally), the keylock and other more or less dangerous holds. Contestants should have a knowledge of the dangers of these
holds and a knowledge of the blocks for them.
Note 3. In the interpretation o~ the clause "interlocking of fingers, hands
or arms around body or legs, whIle contestants are on the mat" in Section
I of this rule, this restriction does not apply when the defensive man has
regained his feet. No complete armlock with the arm is permitted until
contestant is on his feet unless the body lock is used for a pin hold.
Note 4. Contestants may grasp aU four fingers in an effort to break
a hold, but pulling back the thumb or one, two or three fingers is
illegal.
Note. 5.. See photographs and explanations of legal and illegal holds. V Also
see QuestIOns and Answers.
Note 6. A body slam is illegal unless the attacker brings one of his knees
to the mat before the upper part of his opponent's body touches the mat.

T~e te~m "slam" refers to the lifting of an opponent off his feet and slamnung hIm to the mat.
Note 7. ~n the interpret~tion of "hold over front or side of throat," pressure from sIde of hand, WrIst or forearm is considered a "hold" and is therefore barred.
2. Unnecessary Roughness. No striking, kicking, gouging,
hair pulling, butting, elbowing, stI angling, or anything that endangers life or limb shall be allowed.
Note. In the application of the latter part of the above rule, all Referees,
Coaches and Contestants should understand that any and all holds used in
such a way as to end~nger life or limp are illegal and atl Referees should be
on the. alert to st<!p, If Pl?sslble,. atl holds that in their opinion are likely to
result In endangering of hfe or hmb before real injury does occur. It should
also be under~tood that no contestant should ever be put in a position where
he must forfeIt a neutral position, a Position of Advantage or a fatl because
of danger tl? Ii~e 0; li~b! and the Referee should promptly stop any and
atl holds whIch In hIS opinIon may so result. (See Section I, Notes 1 and 2.)
3. Referee's Position on the Mat. The defensive contestant
must face in the direction indicated by the arrow at the center of the
mat. He must place both knees on the mat with the lower legs
parallel, the knees must not be more than the width of the shoulders
or hips apart and the heels of both hands must be on the mat not
less than 12 inches in front of the knees. The offensive wrestler shall
be slightly over o~ponent at his left (or right) side with his right
(or left) arm restmg loosely around opponent's waist and his left
(or right) hand loosely on opponent's left (or right) elbow. The
thumb may be behind, in front of or at side of elbow. Both of his
knees shall be on the mat and outside of defensive wrestler's near
leg. He may take any position between that parallel to the defensive
wrestler's body or at right angles to it but his near leg must not
touch the near leg of the defensive wrestler.
Note 1. See cuts on pages 68, 70 and 73.
Note 2. Occasionatly a Referee has been guilty of standing so close
to contestants as he starts a bout from the "Referee's Position on the M t"
tha.t c;me or t.he other of the contestants has been handicapped in his legitim;te
actIvIty. It IS recomm~nded that the Referee take a position directly in front
of contestants and faCing them, ~nd that before he catls "wrestle" he shaH
mov~ back far enough so that neIther contestant can possibly be handicaDDed
by hIS presence on the mat.
No. 12-ILLEGAL TOEHOLD (Also twisting kneelock which is more dangerous
than toeholds).
All toeholds regardless of the degree to which the leg is twisted are illegal under
these rules. Any pressure against the knee joint as shown by the above illustration
constitutes an illegal hold.
4. Contestants are expected to wrestle near the center of the
mat, whether on the feet or in the "Referee's Position on the Mat."
See provision for ten-foot circle at center of wrestling mat and
its use in Rule 3, Section 1. (Penalties for infringement of this
Rule will be found under Rule 13, Sections 2C and 3.)
RULE II-STALLING
1. Stalling Is Illegal Under These Rules. While on their
feet, contestants must wrestle; i.e., they must make an honest effort
to secure a Position of Advantage, regardless of any advantage
previously obtained, and when one contestant has secured a Position
of Advantage, whether on the feet or on the mat. he shall make an

the defensive wrestler would have gone behind his opponent had
the illegal action not occurred, he shall give the defensive wrestler
the offensive position in "Referee's Position on the Mat." In either
of the situations above, the penalty for a second infringement shall

a fall is imminent.
Note 1. Whenever all provisions of the above rule are complied with and
both shoulders of the defensive wrestler are held continuously within
approximately two inches of the mat or less for two full seconds or more, a

N ole 4. Only one near-fall may be scored in anyone "situation."
A "situation" is ended:( 1) When the defensive man escapes to neutral position or
reverses position.
(2) When he assumes the defensive "referee's position on mat."
(3) When he secures a position of defensive value equal to the
ddensive "referee's position on mat."
The referee must not signal a "near-fall' until the "situation" is
ended.
Nothing in the above shall prevent repeated efforts by the
lIffensive wrestler to "pin" his opponent, but, regardless of the
number of near-falls he may secure in anyone "situation," he is
credited with 2 points only for "near-falls" in that "situation."
Note 5. It should be clearly understood that the position of advantage in
any match may change irequently and that the contestant who has previously
been in the defensive position may secure the position of advantage and
earn a near-fall in a very short period of time. Illustration :-Contestant A
