Schubert Downs Gay Bob Schubert of A Quartermah- ter, who won the 159-pound divis ion last season, pulled a surpris ingly fast win over Ralph Gay of A-Ordnance when he pinned Gay in one and a half minutes.

The most imposing of all rec ords is that of Cayuga, a little team in Class B, which has rolled up 47 victories in exactly that many starts. Waelder, another team in Class B, follows close behind Cayuga with a record of only one loss against 40 wins.
