SJS Matmen Wrestle Aztecs

 
     
  Coach Hugh Mumby's varsity grapplers are preparing this week for the opening of their collegiate dual meet season Jan. 12 against San Diego State in the Spartan mat room at 7:30 pm.

It will be SJS' first match since it dropped a 21-10 decision to the powerful San Francisco Olympic Club on Dec. 12.

The Spartans' only other competition thus far was in the Northern California intercollegiate tournament Dec. 9 in Spartan Gym. The locals took their second straight championship in beating a 14 team field.

The SJS frosh team takes on San Jose City College Tuesday at City College. The Spartan yearlings defeated SJCC 16-12 last month in their only previous match.

Freshmen winning for SJS in that match who will be competing Tuesday are Roy Kusumoto (123), David Austin (137), Ismail Rodriguez (167), and Bob Young (hwt).

Others competing for the frosh will be Arthur Beatty, Thomas Brooks, James Doyal, and Carl Dommeyer.

Other matches for the Spartan varsity this month are with Stanford University on Jan. 16 and Cal Ploy SLO on Jan. 19, both at home. All home matches are 7:30 pm affairs.

SJS will be the host for the Pacific Association AAU Freestyle Tournament on Jan. 20. Matches begin at noon.

Top performers for the Spartan varsity so far have been Leroy Stewart (147), Paul Hodgins (191), Ron Ruscigno (177), Bob Lopez (137), and Cliff Olson (157).

Stewart, Lopez, and Olson were titlists in the Northern California Intercollegiate Tournament. Hodgins and Ruscigno turned in good winning performances against the Olympic Club.

Coach Mumby has described this year's team as "good as last year's and maybe just a little bit better." He said that more experience was the difference.
