Returning Stars Bolster Hopes Of Wrestling Coach |
||
| Cheered by the return of four of last year's champions and several promising frosh stars, coach Sam Della Maggiore
expects this year's wrestling squad to be one of the strongest he has ever coached. The champions back for more competition are Dave Hines, Far Western champ at 165 pounds and Pacific Coast king in the 175 pound division; Hans Weidenhofer, 165 pound Pacific Coast champion; Ivan Olsen, holder of the Pacific Coast 145 pound title; and Harold Janic, Far Western freshman champ at 135 pounds. The squad will also be bolstered by the return of veterans Grey McConnell and John Dahl in the heavyweight division, and Al Long, middleweight up from the frosh squad. Della Maggiore also has several outstanding ex-high school grapplers who will be eligible to wrestle for the varsity under the recent ruling. The only weak spots on the squad will be in the 121 and 128 pound classes. A match has already been scheduled with the Navy Pre-Flight squad from St. Mary's and Della Maggiore is trying to add other service teams to the schedule. The wrestling season will get under way in December. |
