SJSU Wrestling Archives The Spartan Daily 12-1-76                   SJSU Matmen To Meet With Improved Bears             by Ron Coverson           Following an impressive 50-0 trouncing of Hayward State last week, SJSU's defending NCAA champion wrestling team faces a difficult task against UC Berkeley's Bears in dual meet competition tonight at 7:30 in Spartan Gym. Tickets will go on sale at 5:30 pm at Spartan Gym and will be $2 for adults while students will be admitted for one dollar. Additionally, there will be a preliminary meet featuring the two schools' junior varsity squads beginning at 6 pm. The meet has also been tabbed "Wrestling Poster Night" with a 17x23 inch poster given to everyone who enters Spartan Gym. The Spartans, who have also defeated Stanford University in dual meet competition this season, will be facing a Cal team that includes four men who were state high school champions last year. "We're looking forward to a tough match, but i think our guys have a lot of faith in themselves," coach Terry Kerr said yesterday. Kerr has a special reason for making a good showing against the Bears besides the obvious fact that the meet will prove out the unofficial Bay Area champion. "When my brother (assistant coach Tim) and i were wrestling, we were the only ones who seemed to win against the Bears and it would be nice to improve on that." However the Spartan effort will be somewhat hampered tonight due to the fact that two of the team's younger players didn't make the required weight. "I realize that Thanksgiving had a lot to do with it, but obviously making the proper weight didn’t mean as much to the players," Kerr said.
