See NCAA wrestling as it was 56 years ago...
New video posted at YouTube, thanks to Gilles...

It appears to be from the 1951 NCAA college championships -- Bradley Glass of Princeton vs Homer Barr of Penn State for the heavyweight championship. Glass won the title.
It's great to see the gear of that era -- in this case, trunks over tights, with sleeveless jerseys. (The NCAAs were held at Lehigh University in Pennsylvania, which probably meant that all competitors were required to wear shirts)... the wrestling moves... and the good sportsmanship at the end.
For a handful of pics of Glass -- plus tons of other photos of college big men champions from 1928 up thru 2000 -- visit NCAA Heavyweight Champs Yahoo group: sports.groups.yahoo.com/group/NCAA_Heavyweight_Champs/
Thanks, Gilles!
