SJS Matmen Win Over Adams State

 
     
  San Jose State College wrestlers made their opening dual meet match a successful one by downing Adams State College of Alamosa, Colorado, 19-13, Wednesday night in the Spartan Gym.

Adams State was awarded the first two matches on forfeits. Their only other triumph came in the heavyweight division when Fred Simpson scored a decision over SJS' George Hewitt.

Spartan mat coach Hugh Mumby called the victory a team effort. "Every man put everything he had into the matches," he said.

Mumby said,"The team really came through after spotting them (Adams State) 10 points by forfeiting the 123 and 130 pound divisions."

The coach stated that the win was a good one considering that all college wrestling teams from Colorado are usually tough opponents due to an excellent high school program they have in the state. Mumby said the Spartans went into the match without knowing too much about the Colorado school.

Jerry Nelson (157) and Bernie Slate (177) both scored impressive win for the Spartans by pinning their foes.

Results:

123: Eldon Daniel (A) by forfeit.

130: Al Ashton (A) by forfeit.

137: Dick Alderson (SJ) decisioned Don Dailey.

147: L.D. Bennett (SJ) decisioned Dave Garvin.

157: Jerry Nelson (SJ) pinned Brad Tate in the 3rd round.

167: Fred Yrueta (SJ) decisioned Al Tolle.

177: Bernie Slate (SJ) pinned Ross Smith in 2nd round.

Hwt: Fred Simpson (A) decisioned George Hewitt.
