Ed Franquemont, whose 7-1-1 record this season is the best on the Harvard team, edged Brown star Bob Bundy 9-8, at 157 pounds, with the aid of a point for riding time. Pete Johnson, the Bruins' 167-pounder, injured his ankle when Chris Wickens of Harvard took him down, and had to default. Harvard Captain Ben Brooks scored the only fall of the meet by pinning Bob Maddox of Brown at 4:27 of their 191-pound match. Heavyweight Tack Chace then trimmed Brown Captain Ed McEntree 7-2.
