In other sectional matches, Jim Keller took a fourth place, Erv Geisler took a fourth place in the 138 pound class, and Mike Tompkins and Bill Rosenbergh both lost their first matches.
It is to be noted, and remembered, that in Jensen's match against Sarofsy, the eventual State champ, the score stood 0-0 until the final eight seconds when Sarofsy gained a take-down. Both boys had beaten identical boys in earlier matches, by identical scores, and were very evenly matched. The match could have gone either way, with either boy becoming the State Champ.
