  Matmen Rout Stanford Club

 
     
 

San Jose State's wrestlers trounced Stanford 25-3 in their first dual meet victory of the season Tuesday night at SJS. 
 
The Spartans entertain Cal Poly-SLO tomorrow night at 7:30 and will be host team for the Pacific Association AAU Freestyle Tournament which begins at noon Saturday. 
 
Bob Lopez pinned Stanford's Lee Stephenson in the 137-pound class in a surprise development in the feature match of the night. SJS coach Hugh Mumby described Lopez' performance as "very impressive." 
 
Mumby added that Ron Ruscigno also looked "very good" in decisioning the Indians' Steve Sears in a 177-pound match. 
 
Other winners for the Spartans were Warren King (147) by decision over John Kay, Jack Proctor (167) by decision over Steve Meecham, George Hewitt (hwt) by decision over Duncan Ross, and Dave Armstrong (123) by forfeit. 
 
Stanford's Dave Herasmiuhuk decisioned San Jose's Frank Paoni in a 137-pound match 
 
Mumby expects tough competition from Cal Poly, which he describes as "usually a strong team." Top grappler for Cal Poly is Spencer Tamoto, a "very good" 147-pounder. 
 
Other top competitors for Cal Poly are Frank Garcia (137) and Jim Root (123). 
 
Mumby said that the Spartans "have not reach peak condition yet." He added, however, that they are "beginning to get where they should be."
