Sport: The Strangle Holds

In Stillwater, Okla. last week, some 60 collegians grunted (although not half so loud as the vaudevillian pros) and sweated on wrestling mats. At stake: Oklahoma A. & M.’s strangle hold on the intercollegiate wrestling championship. The Aggies had won it 13 times in 15 years.

Last week’s grappling was the first since 1942. Some of the boys, back from the wars, had to be tapped for illegal holds. Even though 290-lb. George Bolas, Big Ten heavyweight champion from Ohio State, flattened the Aggies’ No. 1 muscle man, Lloyd Arms, the Aggies managed to pin down championship No. 14. Team scores: Aggies, 25; Iowa Teachers, 24.
