in the 1950s

     After a hiatus that ended up lasting sixteen years wrestling once more returned to the Bloomsburg campus.  The revived sport began competition on January 8, 1955, and has continued on to the present day.  Jack Yohe, who was also in charge of the football team, coached wrestling that first season.  Walter Blair then took over for two years, and had a record of 11 - 6 in dual meets.
