Wrestlers Engage SFS Tonight
|
| |
Sparta's undefeated wrestling team meets San Francisco State tonight in the Spartan Gym at 8 o'clock. The Raider
matmen will be seeking their third straight dual meet victory.
Coach Hugh Mumby's wrestlers will be slightly favored by virtue of the two forfeits the Gators are forced to give
away. The visitors have no representatives in the 123 and 130 pound classes.
The SJS roster will have Danny Gonsalves (137), Pete Herder (147), Dave Leslie (157), Ray Thomas (167), Dick Francis
(177), and Bob Roebuck (HWT).
Representing Coach Joe Verducci's San Francisco team will be Phil Lyons (137), Bill Doffie (147), Bill Schmidt
(157), Ray Nelson (167), Nathan Brown (177), and Gene Anderson (HWT).
Herder, Leslie, Francis, and Kay Toyota showed outstanding ability in their matches with Stanford men on Tuesday
night. SJS won the match 23-13.
Leslie and Stanford's Ken James engaged in one of the best matches on the Spartan-Indian card with Leslie being
awarded the decision by a two points to one margin.
John Ratliffe, 167-pound freshman wrestler, looked very good in pinning Stanford's Jim Hutchinson early in the
first round. Coach Mumby considers Ratliffe, who also starred in freshman football, a top varsity prospect for
next year.
The Spartan mat team is scheduled to meet Cal Poly on Jan. 31 in San Luis Obispo. SJS' gymnastic team also will
compete down there. |
