...warm air of southern Georgia, a pair of English setters dubbed Art and George stretched their legs after a ride down from Gettysburg, Pa., and sniffed curiously at the Southland smells.

...match, varsity captain Bob Gilmor controlled Bob LaRoche so completely that the large Penn wrestler could only crawl repeatedly to the edge of the mat, whence the referee returned the pair to the center of the mat. This pattern continued through the first and second and much of the third, with Gilmor frequently rolling LaRoche over, only to lose his advantage as the Pennsylvanian wriggled out of the ring...
