Show Wrestlers Find Tough Foe In Hurricane Test The Milford Mat Squad met their match when they came up against probably the best all-around team they have met this year, from Hurricane. Dale Barnes was the only Tigger who was able to rack up with a win, when he pinned Hurricane's Pearce in the 138 lb. division. He did a beautiful job of controlling his match and led the photographer a merry chase around the mat without getting a decent picture. pic-ture. While the score was lopsided, not so the contests. There were only two contests that went in the first period, with most going nearly the time limit. All of the Milford grapplers made an excellent showing and should not hang their heads too long over a loss to this exceptionally ex-ceptionally strong team. Probably the biggest disappointment disap-pointment was seeing Hanley held to a draw and Mecham taking a loss in the third round of his unlimited weight bout. Neither had been defeated or tied before this year. Revenge could be sweet when these two tough teams meet again Feb. 11 at Hurricane. Hurri-cane. Especially if Milford can recruit grapplers in the 105 and 132 pound divisions, so they do-not do-not have a 10 point deficit in forfeits to overcome from the start. 98 Birdsong pinned by Phipps. 105 Milford forfeit to Ew-ell, Ew-ell, 5 112 P.
