Interscholastic wrestling started in the late 1920s with exclusively Providence city schools.  School teams met annually in the Brown Interscholastic Championships (starting in the 1932 season) at Brown University to decide team and class champions.   The Providence city schools would also compete for the City Championship.   Brown University wrestling history goes back to 1906.  Frank Herrick coached wrestling at Brown from 1906 to 1932.  His physique was the model for the sculptor of the ten-foot figures outside the New York Stock Exchange.  His arm is the one that appears on boxes of Arm & Hammer baking soda.  On March 12, 1912, the first intercollegiate wrestling match in the history of Brown University was held in Lyman Gymnasium (now Lyman Hall) between Brown and MIT.  Brown wrestlers fought valiantly but were defeated.  They won the New England championship in 1929.  In March 1931 Brown hosted the first National Intercollegiate wrestling meet ever held on the east coast.  A new coach, Richard K. Cole, brought a new style of western wrestling to Brown in 1932.  Brown won the New Englands again in 1936 and 1937 but wrestling was discontinued after the 1939-40 season.  It returned in the 1947 season.
