WRESTLING 1949 TEAM DAVE WHEELER, MGR Vanport's 1949 wrestling team had a very good season con­ sidering the strong competition they were matched with. Several men made outstanding records, and many new performers were brought to light during a rough year in which five dual meets, one tri-way meet and two championship tournaments were partici­ pated in by the Vanport matmen . Vanport wrestlers were then entered in the Northwest YMCA Championships in which they were directly responsible for win­ ning the title for Portland . Teams from Spokane, Tacoma, Seattle, Yakima, Salem and Portland were entered.
