This year he is wrestling at 136, where he will oppose Dave Coombs, regular Crimson 121-pounder who is being forced to fill in for the injured Roger Wach. Except for one performance two years ago as a freshman 128-pounder, Coombs has never wrestled out of his class...
Roger Wach suffered a recurrence of his knee injury this week and Dave Coombs, regular 121-pounder, will have to take over at 136. Joe Kozol goes back to 121; Buddy King, former New England AAU champ, returns to 145; and Captain Bob Claffin and Howie Houston stay at the 175 and heavyweight posts...

He should be able to hold his own against the rest of the heavyweight opposition...
