 Frosh Grapplers Tackle Modesto JC 

 
     
 

Coach Hugh Mumby's frosh grapplers will have their hands full this afternoon when they journey to Modesto to meet the powerful Modesto JC Pirates at 4 pm.
 
If the yearlings are to return with a victory, it will take a stellar team performance, for the bone-crushing Pirates have already proved their wrestling worth. 
 
Though only a two year college, Modesto was one of the strongest entries in the season opening Northern California Intercollegiate Tournament at San Jose way back on Dec. 10 of last year. 
 
The Pirates finished a close third to San Jose, which won the meet, and the University of California, which finished second. 
 
Modesto notched 41 points in the tourney to Cal's 43 and the Spartans' 48. 
 
San Jose rests its main hopes on three weight divisions. Ali Alley is strong at 130 pounds and Warren King and Cliff Olson are potential winners in the 147 and 157 classes, respectively. 
 
Tuesday's frosh match with Cupertino High School was canceled and the SJS yearlings' mark still stands at 1-1.
