I've made a correction to the article "History of Collegiate Wrestling" to correctly identify the first intercollegiate dual meet which took place in 1903 between Yale and Columbia. Many sources erroneously cite an earlier 1900 date. This error was originated by Charles Speidel many years ago but cannot be verified and should be deleted at every opportunity. I have also corrected the location of Mayser's primary work to Iowa State, not Yale.

In connection with the advent of Greco-Roman wrestling I have inserted a note identifying the principal authority for the history of this style, Edmond Desbonnet's book Les Rois de la Lutte (Berger-Levrault, Paris, 1910)DsayengaThe note is inserted improperly at this time; I will try to fix it. I have removed all of the extraneous allusions to ancient Hellenic wrestling which were completely inappropriate in this section.

The description of the Bergvall elimination system, and the description of Mr. Bergvall's career, both credit him with "devising" this method when in fact it is a traditional system. He deserves credit for promoting it. I also noted the flaws of the system. Dsayenga (talk) 15:42, 12 January 2013 (UTC)Don Sayenga
