 Wrestling Tourney Is Postponed

 
     
  Indefinite postponement of the first annual San Jose State College wrestling tournament, tentatively scheduled for Saturday night, because of conflict with the Freshman Hop on the same evening, was announced by coach Gene Grattan last night. No new date has been set, but it is hoped that an open evening will be found next week.

The setback of the tournament leaves the only scheduled wrestling competition of the week between the freshman squad and the Stockton YMCA Saturday afternoon at 4:00 in the Spartan Gym. The YMCA boasts a strong team composed of ex-high school and college wrestlers and are favored to upset the untried Spartan yearlings.

Grattan rates his freshman team the strongest in the history of the school, with several experienced men coming in from high schools. However, a number of the weights will have to be filled with inexperienced men.

Karl Kuhl, Davey Hines, George Yoshisato, and Alvin Duty are expected to be outstanding for the freshmen.
