GRAPPLERS DROP ONLY TWO MATCHES TO TUFTS

Wrestlers Take Five Victories and a Draw to Win 22 1/2 to 7 1/2--Barrows Avenges Former Defeat

University grapplers found little difficulty in trimming the Tufts wrestlers on Saturday afternoon by a score of 22 1-2 to 2 1-2.

Gridley Barrows '34 threw Lindberg of Tufts in one of the best bouts of the meet, getting revenge for a defeat suffered at the hands of his rival last year. Harold Frankel '34 battled through two overtime periods to a draw with Gillespie, Tufts man who conquered the Harvard grappler a year ago. Captain Arthur Klein '32 put on a fast exhibition of tricky wrestling to take a time decision from his opponent. In the 175-pound class R. G. Ames '34 won his seventh consecutive victory of the season by a fall. P. O. Johnson '33 and M. A. Keyser '33 were the other Crimson winners.
