Although it is fairly certain that the regulars on the wrestling team will take the majority of the finals in their respective classes, an upset or two is not at all unexpected by the coach. For example, there is Captain P. O. Johnson '33 of the Freshman forces who has entered both the 135 and 145-pound events. With a record of 100 per cent fall-victories during the season in the 135-pound position, it is safe to say that he will give his more experienced opponents plenty of competition...
...Parsee lets his sacred flame die out, he is exceedingly upset, for the Parsee's flame is the Parsee's religion. Last week a great U.S. industry, in which Fire is a vital pillar of the structure of Profit, was horrified by the suggestion that it neglect its flames once a week...
However, the lightweight contingent was not without a champion. Arthur Klein '32 in the 125-pound class, provided perhaps the most thrilling bout from a spectator's point of view, and certainly the greatest upset of the meet, when he defeated Captain Stella of Tufts by a decision. Being the only returning champion of last year's inter-collegiates in which he won the 115-pound title, Stella has maintained, until last Saturday, an undefeated record of one year of Freshman and two years of University wrestling at Tufts...

It was a moment which had been preceded by weeks of intensive but not enthusiastic ballyhoo. Scott had looked very bad in training.

Now at the referee's signal he rushed out of his corner and met Scott, chasing him around the ring. For a round Scott boxed nicely...
...first upset of the afternoon occurred in the 125-pound bout when Arthur Klein '32 defeated Bacon, who was a heavy favorite, by a fall in eight minutes, 31 seconds. This was the only Harvard victory until the 165-pound bout was called. With the score at 12 to 5 in favor of the Elis, J. F. Solano '32 met Brodie and broke the jinx with a fall in four minutes, 25 seconds. The tables were turned successfully, for C. D. Newhart '31 and Captain Nathaniel Warner '30 took the final bouts by falls in four minutes 43 seconds...
