Harvard's varsity wrestlers came heartbreakingly close to beating Yale Saturday afternoon, but an upset in a key mate gave Yale the win, 16 to 11.
In the 147 pound class, Icko Iben lost to Fred Pettit 6 to 7 after leading in the first period. The match was tied in the third period at 4 all, with Iben on the bottom in the referee's position. At the whistle Pettit released him, automatically giving Iben an escape and one point. Pettit felt he would have a better chance in a standing position and would be able to score two points if he could gain "take down." He did this and went on to win.
The freshmen lost, 19 to 13.
The summary: 123 lbs.--Lee (H) defeated Mead, 6-0; 130 lbs.--Dewar (H) tied Carrozzella, 2-2; 137 lbs.--Dewar (H) defeated Graham, 11-2; 147 lbs.--Pettit (Y) defeated Iben, 7-6; 157 lbs.--Chandler (H) defeated Boger, 10-2; 167 lbs.--Downey (Y) defeated Caimi, 8-0; 177 lbs.--Graveson (Y) pinned Farrington, 2:45; Unl.--Merriman (Y) defeated Bates, 11-3.
