 Matmen Face Two Foes This Week 

 
     
  The San Jose State College wrestling squad, resting on top of a four game winning streak, will be out to add numbers five and six this weekend when they tangle with the Stanford team Friday evening and the Cal Poly Mustangs Saturday night.

Coach Mumby's battlers will invade the Stanford teepee in hopes of repeating last year's stunning performance when they smeared the Indians 19-9.

However, in the Saturday meet to be held in the Spartan Gym, the men of Sparta will be out to taste the sweets of revenge from the hide of the Mustangs. The southerners sneaked by the San Jose boys last year 18-16.

San Jose's grapplers will be following the Pacific Coast Conference rulings in the Stanford University match and the only matches to count in the book will be those in the varsity events. Along with the varsity games, there will be three junior varsity and five freshmen presentations.

In the Cal Poly affair, the Statesmen from the junior varsity squad will be out to sink the sailors from Treasure Island. The sailor boys are coached by Stan Smith, an ex-San Jose State College boxing and wrestling champ of two years ago.

All the Spartan Grapplers were reported to be in good condition for the twin affairs by coach Mumby yesterday although 115-lb Noboru Yonemoto's back injury and the 191-lb Lou Menghini's rib bruises, from the Northern California Junior meet, may keep them out of action.
