| Although winless in dual meets, the Spartan wrestlers proved last Saturday night that they are a team that refuses
to quit. |
| |
| Faced with the seemingly impossible task of winning their last three matches in order to gain a tie in the meet,
the Spartans accomplished just that in gaining a 22-22 standoff with Stanford. |
| |
| New heavyweight Donnell Jackson, in his second meet since the end of the football season, pinned his man for the
necessary points in the final match of the night to gain the tie. |
| |
| Freshman Dean Prescott (177) and Pete Murchison (190) won by decision, setting up Jackson's finale. |
| |
| "I'm really pleased with the way we are wrestling," said coach Terry Kerr. "Every time we go on
the mat we are wrestling tough." |
| |
| Against the Indians, the Spartans also got winning performances from Oscar Trevino and Jim Lucas. |
| |
| Also deserving praise form Kerr was Joe Escobar who had to wrestle in the 167 weight class, despite his own 150
pounds. The gutty Escobar extended the heavier Stanford man for almost the entire match before getting pinned in
the final set. |
| |
| The Spartans take a break for finals before resuming competition on Jan. 21 in a match against Sacramento State,
Humboldt State, and Oregon College at Arcata. |
