Davidson Wrestlers Win 30 to 0 Over Concord Team, Dec. 13, 1924

Davidson Wins—Wrestling Teams Met Friday Night—Score Was 30 to 0

Davidson mat men won over Concord’s mat men by a score of 30 to nothing, one match being a draw and no score resulting for either contestant. The matches were as follows:

Fryerson won the 119 class against Deaton of Concord, by a fall.

Barrington won the 129 class against Harwell of Concord, by fall.

Patterson, P.M., won the 139 class against Caldwell of Concord by fall.

Cox, W.D., won the 149 pound class against Simpson of Concord by a fall.

Cox, L.P., won the 159 pound class against McCathern of Concord by fall.

Patterson and Denny went in the 175 pound class to a scoreless draw.

Laws won the unlimited class above 175 pounds against McCathern of Concord by a fall.

Every match except the first was contested fiercely by Concord’s men, and Davidson had to work hard for every score made. Each match after the first stood in a fair way to go to a draw or for Concord until the superior training of Davidson would suddenly crop out ad Concord’s men would have to go on the defense. McCathern in the 159 class wrestled rings around his an and lack of confidence in himself caused him to do defensive work at the wrong time, giving Davidson’s man an opportunity to bring in some of Captain Weems’ training in scientific wrestling on him. McCathern will not be thrown again this season as he will be better trained scientifically for his next match with Davidson and then for Trinity and Carolina.

Harwell in the 129 class was wrestling one class higher than would have been the case could the 125 pound man entered. Harwell weighs only 115.

The light heavyweight class bout was fought to a draw and several times it looked as though each man had an opportunity to get a fall. The time of advantage was 2:45 and 2:40 for each man. When the whistle blew for the end of the allotted time for the match neither man had secured a fall or sufficient time of advantage to claim the match and the referee declared it a draw match.

Concord’s team will take the majority of the scoring at Davidson January 0th as our men will be better trained.
