On this day 57 years ago, the wrestling squad vanquished arch-rival Poly Prep, 23-21, to finish in a three-way tie for first place in the Ivy League.

Brook matmen smash tradition as they flatten Poly in the final match. Stevie [Captain Bob Stevenson] is the hero of the day. The wild crowd hits the ceiling as the wrestling crown moves nigh in our trophy case.
