Barnaby emphasized that Williams was no easy match for the Crimson, observing that "the match was closer than it seems...
...first period against John Overdeck on a takedown and a near-fall, and went on to pin the Tech 167-pounder at 4:28. Robbins, beaten in his first two starts by highly-rated Cornell and Franklin and Marshall heavyweights, came up with an easy victory, pinning Jack Smith...
