 Wrestlers Ready To Engage Athens Club 

 
     
  Varsity and frosh wrestlers are practically ready for their second match of the season, set for Friday, when coach Grattan's troupe travels to Oakland to meet the Athens Club.

Last night another inter-squad series of bouts took place among the Spartan matmen to determine who will face the Athens squad. Grattan is definitely planning on taking two complete teams in both the varsity and frosh divisions. And some new men may wrestle that were unable to compete last week against the San Francisco YMCA.

On the whole, Grattan was very much pleased with the grapplers in their opening match. "The boys have the fundamentals will in hand," he explained, "but they need a little brushing up in the art of pinning a man once they are in an advantageous position. However, i was pleased with the work of Bruno, Masdeo, Kallam, and Simoni of the freshmen and was equally pleased with the varsity results."

Sam Della Maggiore, who has been handicapped with a wrenched knee since last season, has been able to resume workouts this week. Della Maggiore may not be ready for the Athens Club Friday, but should be in good shape in a couple of weeks.
