1918 Big Wrestling
Season For State
. Penn State wrestling fans who
watched their, team win three
Eastern championships Saturday
can still look back to the greatest
performance in air the years of the
tourney’s existence as being theirs.
The feat • was performed by the
1918 Lion, which copped every in
dividual title but the 125-pound
crovtm, and which established a
scoring record.of 34 points that re
mained unbroken until Charley
Speidel’s 1937 varsity edition mov
ed the record to 25.
Only D. D. Detar ’2O, later the
Lion coach for three seasons, fail
ed to gain a tourney title that year.
Ironically enough, Detar wa)s one
of the greatest wrestlers to ever
wear the blue and white. Forced
to forfeit in the finals because of
an injury, Detar kept Penn State
from making a clean sweep of the
seven divisions.

When Rasslers
Were Stranglers
Back in September, 1902, in
what was Penn State’s first form
al wrestling meet, M. C. “Jack”
Offut ’O5 wrestled for 45 straight
minutes before he subdued his
opponent, Nogueria, a member of
the freshman class that year.
But that isn’t all—Nogueria
was injured, and since the rules
stated that a match was won when
two out of three falls were regis
tered toy one of the contestants,
Offutt was required to wrestle a
substitute whom he pinned in a
short time (probably 15 or 20
minutes).
The meet was an inter-class af
fair—much like present day
freshman-sophomore boxing tilts.
Previously, class superiority had
been determined by the “Clatss
Rush,” a genuine battle royal.
Injuries and property damage
at the traditional rushes were of
a serious nature, so W. Nelson
“Pop” Golden, first Director of
Athletics, organized the easier
method of competition.
Weights were classified in three
divisions, middle, light, and
heavyweight. To safeguard the
competitors, all headlocks and
strangleholds were barred, and
flying falls hot counted.
