  Wrestlers Ready For Athens Club Meet

 
     
  Renewing the feud started hundreds of years ago in ancient Greece, the Spartan matmen will travel to the Athens Club stronghold in Oakland on Saturday in an attempt to wrest another win form the traditional rivals of the first Olympics.

Expecting an avalanche of collegiate wrestlers to descend upon them, the Athenians have been preparing for this meet as though it were the most important one of the season. Claiming strength that would rival the best that the SJS mentor could scrape together, the club squad is definitely pointing for a win that will rate them with the best on the West Coast.

Coach Grattan, however, is looking forward to this meet which he declares is their real test. Failure of the San Mateo Junior College to present a team last Friday proved a disappointment to the Spartan wrestlers, but with a two-week layoff, they are clamoring for competition and will be a real handful for the Oaklanders.
