| There's no place like home when you're opening a wrestling season, and the Spartan matmen are lucky enough to perform
at Spartan Gym tomorrow and Saturday. Hugh Mumby's grapplers open their dual meet season against the University of Nevada at 4 pm tomorrow and follow Saturday by playing host to the Northern California Invitational. "Nevada is a developing team," Mumby said. "It started wrestling just three years ago and has been coming along well since." The Spartan wrestlers who had finished 9-5-1 in dual competition last year, will be paced by L.Q. Starling, Rich Hamm, Gary Lorenz, Mike Herschfelt, and Rich Popejoy in both the dual match against Nevada and the tourney. Two-year letterman Loren Miller is questionable for action this weekend due to an injury, If Miller can't compete, Gary Ramstetter will replace him in the 160 pound class. Footballer Dick Dixon who suffered a shoulder injury won't be able to join the wrestling club for some time if at all. This year 14 teams will enter the 10th annual invitational, including defending champion Cal Poly-San Luis Obispo. Other teams that will compete are Humboldt State, Chico State, Santa Clara, Sacramento State, Nevada UC Davis, Sonoma State, UCB, San Francisco State, Cal State-Hayward, Stanford, and Fresno State. In the ten years that the tournament has been held, SJS has won six times, including 1960, 61, 62, and 1964. "The tourney usually gives a fair indication of how we will do during the season," Mumby reported. "You can't judge how you will do in dual meets by team results of a tourney, but it does give an indication." Against Nevada, Mumby plans to starling (115), Larry Kubo (123), Rich Hamm (130), Lorenz (145), Joe Silva or Dave Allen (152), Miller or Ramstetter (160), Mike Herschfelt (167), Paul Hatling (177), and Popejoy at heavyweight. In Saturday's festivities Popejoy will wrestle at 191 and Roger McClaughry will move into the 177 pound class. |
