There are no blind professional wrestlers but at least one of Overbrook's graduates is able enough to consider such a career. He, Robert Allman, who left Overbrook in 1934, is currently a sophomore at the University of Pennsylvania, where he studies in Braille, wrestles as a regular member of the team. Last week while Navy wrestlers were beating Penn, 23-to-3, Wrestler Allman lost his match to Navy's Charles Chandler but his display of defensive technique was so impressive that 4,000 spectators cheered him throughout the bout, gave him an ovation when it ended. Said Blind Wrestler Allman: "I live for wrestling. If I lost out on the squad I would feel lost. You know I love the cheering from fans when I am down on the mat, but of course it confuses me before leaving my feet. You see, I must follow my opponent by the sound of his feet and the noise of his breathing."
