Mat Squads Face Athens Club Tonight |
||
| Gene Grattan's wrestlers are going to do their dancing in Oakland tonight. While several hundred Staters will trip
and stumble over each other at the Civic Auditorium, Sparta's grapplers will attempt to trip a few opponents representing
the Oakland Athens Club. Both frosh and varsity squads are scheduled to have a hand in the evening's entertainment
which begins at 8:00. Four new varsity matsters make their appearance tonight. Chic Tonouye at 118 pounds opens his mat career and his debut will be interesting to watch. In the 126 pound class, Keith Hughes from Modesto Junior College gets his big chance against the Athens team. He replaces Jack Fiebig who moves up to the 135 pound class. Hughes was defeated by Fiebig but only after a bitter struggle two weeks ago. Hugo Pink, weighing 145, takes the place of Carleton Lindgren. He is a clever grappler and has much experience. In the 165 pound division, Robert Riddle steps in as a substitute for Mel Rush. The husky blond battler is a little green at present but he uses his strength to great advantage. Outside of these changes the wrestlers who competed against San Francisco last week return to the wars tonight. These include Jack Fiebig at 135, George Wenglein at 155, Jack Smith in the light-heavy division and John Jones in the heavy class. Team captain Martin will be unable to make the trip. |
