 Grapplers Face Month Layoff

 
     
  Coach Hugh Mumby's SJS wrestling squad, riding high after delivering a 27-15 trouncing to the University of California Friday night, find themselves with nearly a month's layoff before a return to competition.

The Spartan grapplers will find rugged opponents awaiting them upon return to school following semester break, however.

The SJS matmen are schedule to tangle with four opponents in four days as Stanford, Santa Barbara, San Diego State, and UCLA will offer competition for Mumby's grapplers.

February 2, the wrestlers journey to Palo Alto to meet Stanford and then two days later must grapple with UCSB on the SJS mat.

The following day the Spartans face powerful UCLA and San Diego State in a triangular meeting, also in the SJS gym.

The Spartan matmen now stand at 2-1 after knocking off the Cal wrestlers. Their other victory was over Nevada while the only defeat came at the hands of Fresno State.

Friday night's dual meet with the Bears saw the SJS grapplers overcome an early deficit featuring pins by Loren Miller, Mike Herschfelt, and Rich Popejoy.
