Prospects Bright For A Championship Squad |
||
| With prospects for a championship squad looking bright indeed, coach Sam Della Maggiore is giving his wrestlers
stiff workouts daily in the local gym. Cheered greatly by the presence of an abundance of good material in most divisions, the husky mentor predicted that this year's squad will be one to reckon with in amateur wrestling circles. Among those returning to boost the Spartan mat machine's stock are three PCI wrestling champions in the varsity division, and last year's Far Western kingpin in the freshman division. Heading the list of champs is Davey Hines, Far Western and PCI champ for two years straight. The blonde judo coach will wrestle this year in the 165-pound division. Next in line on the star-studded roster is Hans Weidenhoffer, present 165-pound title holder who will wrestle at 175 pounds this year. The third title holder is Ivan Olsen, head man on the Pacific coast in the 135-pound class last year. Completing the quartet of champions is Harold Janic, 145-pound freshmen leader in the Far West. Along with these men, Sam is counting on Grey McConnell, Bill Perry, and John Dahl, three rugged gridders, to gain points in the heavyweight division, and Al Long, former frosh star at 175 pounds to give Weidenhoffer a run for his money in the light heavyweight class. So far, the Spartans have a meet scheduled with the UC Bears, two with Camp Roberts, and a meet with St. Mary's Pre-Flight. |
