Suffering their that defeat in a number of year; at the hands of a Tufts team, the Harvard Varsity matmen were pinned with a 17-11 score Wednesday night in Medford before a group of 650 spectators. The Freshmen however trounced their first year rivals to the tune of 21 to 12 in the preliminary matches.

Smith victory in the heavy weight encounter gave Tufts the winning margin in the Varsity matches and only Ed Sullivan's inexperience prevented the crippled Crimson eight from landing on top.
