  Spartan Wrestlers Lose Another To Chico State

 
     
 

It hasn't been easy for wrestling coach Hugh Mumby since the season began December 2. Mumby, who is used to fielding winning teams, has now seen his grapplers lose their fourth out of five dual meets.
 
The latest one was Friday to Chico State, a team which had not been able to beat the Spartans in the last ten years. The score was 16-13. 
 
"We're just not wrestling up to our capabilities," Mumby lamented. This is borne out by the fact that with the exceptions of L.Q. Starling and Loren Miller, SJS had only one other winner--Jim Bridger at 167 pounds. 
 
Two Spartans did earn draws, however. They were by John Wallbrink (145) and Roger McClaughry (177). 
 
The freshmen are also having their problems although they are quite different. A lack of personnel has forced the team to forfeit in both the 191-pound and heavyweight brackets. Because of this, the freshmen lost to San Jose City College Thursday 26-19. 
 
Individual wins for the Spartans were supplied by Paul Cunningham (130). Al Morasch (137), Ron Wright (152), Blake DeLuca (167), and Ron Wilson (177).
