  Matmen Wrestle Tonight

 
     
  Two Spartan wrestlers will be out of action tonight when coach Hugh Mumby's grapplers try for their second consecutive team decision by entertaining the Cal Poly Mustangs in the Spartan Gym at 8:00.

Lightweights Themios Condos and George Lao will be lost to the Spartans as both suffered injuries Tuesday night as SJS upset a strong Stanford squad 18-16.

Kay Toyota, letterman from last year's squad, will replace Condos, and Vic Harris (130) will go in place of Lao. Ron Stringley is the Raider's choice in the 137-pound class, and Pete Herder, who pinned Stanford's Bob Spencer, is Mumby's pick in the 147-pound division.

Herder could be involved in one of the more interesting matches of the meet as he will face the Mustangs' Tom Hall who place second in the Far West Wrestling Tourney last year at Oakland.

Tom McIntosh, victim of a decision at Stanford, will try to avenge that in the 157-pound match. In the 167-pound duel, Tom Stern is the Spartans' hope.

PCI champ Dick Francis. after handing the Indians' Pete Pierce his first setback, will attempt to continue his streak of consecutive wins as a 177 pounder.

Either Dick Fleeger or Jerry Ruse will compete in the heavyweight class for SJS.
