Sam Della Maggiore, San Jose High School physical education instructor and former SJS wrestler, has been appointed
coach of the Spartan wrestling team, according to Tiny Hartranft, head of the PE department, filling the vacancy
left by former coach Eugene Grattan, who was killed in an automobile crash last week.
Della Maggiore has compiled an outstanding record as a high school wrestling coach in the past four years since
he first took over the position. His team has been undefeated in dual meet competition, and has won the Northern
California high school championship every year for the past four.
As a member of the college varsity team, Della Maggiore won second place in the 1939 National AAU tournament, and
was awarded the annual Roumassett award for the outstanding combination of scholastic and wrestling ability during
the season of 1939.
Della Maggiore will continue his duties as wrestling, swimming, water polo, and tennis coach at high school, and
coach wrestling as a part time job at the college.
He is a former police student, and is at present enrolled as a senior in the college Physical Education department. |
