Captain P. O. Johnson '33 bowed to Devine of the University of Indian to gain the title of runner-up in the 135-pound division of the National Collegiate Athletic Association wrestling matches concluded Saturday night in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. He was thrown by the Westerner with a keylock in 7 minutes and 6 seconds. Johnson was also one of the two recipients of the coaches' award for the outstanding wrestlers of the tournament.
In his semi-final match, Johnson defeated Brindley of Ohio State Teachers' College by a time advantage of 5 minutes and 35 second. He was thrown, however, in the consolation bouts by Phillips, of Franklin and Marshall, in 4 minutes and 56 seconds, and thus was automatically awarded third place. It is interesting to note that the middle west again made a clean sweep of all the eight individual mat titles.
