Injury Riddled SJS Beaten By Cal |
||
| Hurt by the loss of two first-stringers because of injuries, San Jose State's Spartan wrestlers were defeated by
the California Golden Bears 16-11 Friday night in a dual meet at Spartan Gym. San Jose's combined frosh-junior-varsity team swept the early matches in its preliminary meet with Fresno City College and held on to annex a 15-14 victory, its first of the season. Hugh Mumby's Spartans lost three straight decisions in the middle weight classes to provide the margin of Cal's triumph. SJS was hurt when its 123 pound division entrant, Dave Armstrong, was unable to wrestle because of a bad neck and had to give the Bears a five-point forfeit win. One of Mumby's most consistent winners, 147-pound division entrant Leroy Stewart was forced to watch the action from the sidelines with a shoulder injury. The Spartans' Dave Nevis Cal's Bob Harbaugh wrestled to a 2-2 tie in the 130 pound class. San Jose's Bob Lopez captured an easy decision win over the Bears' Jim Likins in the 137 pound division for his second victory in as many starts. The roof caved in on Mumby's troops in the middle weight divisions when SJS lost three straight matches. Jerry Quinlan, subbing for Leroy Stewart, was decisioned in the 147 class by Cal's Rich Machado, one of the Bears' best wrestlers. Jerry Nelson of San Jose was edged by Cal's Ed Valencia in the 157 pound section, and Spartan Fred Yrueta was beaten by Barry Davidson in the 167 division also by a narrow margin. The evening's final pair of matches were the Spartan's best. 177 pounder Bernie Slate dominated his nine minutes on the mat with the Bears' Dick Rice and walked off with an uncontested decision. Heavyweight Paul Hodgins did an equally outstanding job in disposing of Cal's Bill Snyder via the decision route. |
