| Gene Grattan's merry mat men made whoopee Friday night at the expense of San Francisco's YMCA by copping seven
straight victories as against none registered by the visitors. Grattan's varsity won in every division and tallied
31 out of a possible 35 points. Sparta's frosh were not so fortunate with Modesto JC scoring a 30-28 victory over
the yearlings. San Jose started the scoring spree in the opening bout when Jack Fiebig won in 5:25 over Elliot Gruber of the YMCA. It continued throughout the matches as Olavarri, Lindgren, Wenglein, Rush, Smith, and Jones turned in easy triumphs over their foes. Jack Smith, State's sensational 175 pounder, registered the quickest victory when he disposed of Angelo Getas in the record time of 21 seconds. Smith meant business from the outset and clamped a double bar hold on his opponent before the fans had time to look either wrestler over. In the heavyweight match Johnny Jones won with a half nelson over Bob Martin 4:14. Jones clearly showed that he will be a hard customer to handle this year. Modesto JC won five consecutive scuffles over the Spartan Babes until Mel Bruno came on the scene. Bruno tackled Red Owen at 155 pounds and pinned him in 1:36. A little later Bruno came back for some more exercise and scored victories over two men. He subdued Davidson in 1:55 and trounced Westlund in 59 seconds. Mel left the arena with the cheers of the crowd. The next time Bruno goes to the post there is talk of matching a bull against him. At that there are many who would wager he could throw one inside of the regulation nine minutes. |
