 Spartan Wrestlers Grapple San Diego

 
Coach Hugh Mumby's varsity grapplers meet San Diego State College Friday at 7:30 pm in the Spartan mat room. 
 
It will be the first competition since Dec. 12 for the Spartans when they dropped a 21-10 decision to a powerful San Francisco Olympic Club. 
 
The SJS matmen opened the season by capturing the Northern California Intercollegiate Tournament Dec. 9, beating a 14-team field. 
 
The Spartans suffered a tough blow last week when it was learned that the 147-pound SJS ace, Leroy Stewart, would be lost to the team for the rest of the season. 
 
Coach Hugh Mumby said that Stewart is suffering from an aggravation of an old neck injury. The results of a medical examination indicated that it would be inadvisable for Stewart to compete, he said. 
 
Stewart was a titlist in the NCI tournament and one of the SJS club's top performers. 
 
Expected to take up the slack for the SJS grapplers are Paul Hodgins, recent winner in the 191-pound division of the UCLA Invitational tournament, Ron Ruscigno (177), Bob Lopez (137), and Cliff Olson (157).
