It was Von Henry, a varsity 190 (or was it 189) for the Sooners. Pendleton was a 157, so it was definately a size mismatch and the one-sided result proved that. Kirk did not wrestle on the freshman team, for reasons no one among the freshman class understtod. He was thought to have maybe taken some PG courses in prep school which might have adversely effected his eligibilty in subsequent years, but it was only a guess. What did we know? Not much. No internet, not much in the wahy of communications. The only thing for sure was his outstanding varsity career, on ofthe 6 or 7 best in LU history. Why he was sent out to wrestle an Oklahoma 190 upper classman will always be a mystery.
p.s. Mat Power by the late, great Denny Diehl is the coffee table book you want.
