SJSU Wrestling Archives The Spartan Daily 12-14-65                   Three Wrestlers Place In Mare Island Open           Three SJS grapplers placed high in their respective weight divisions to lead the Spartans to a fourth place finish overall at the Mare Island Open Wrestling Tournament Saturday. Collegiate, armed services, and club teams participated in the event, and as many as 27 wrestlers competed in each division. Spartans Loren Miller and Ron Matheson both reached the finals of their respective weight classifications before losing. Miller, who wrestled at 154.5 pounds since his usual 145 pound division was non-existent at the meet, defeated six foes before losing to Jerry Pamp of the San Francisco Olympic Club 2-0. Matheson won six matches before losing to Lee Allen of the Olympic Club 7-0 in the final round of the 138.5 pound division. Allen was a member of the 1960 U.S. Olympic team. Dennis Runyon earned the other Spartan place with a third in the 125.5 pound classification. The Olympic Club was victorious in four out of eight divisions to win the team championship. Fresno State, Foothill, and SJS followed in that order. Spartan coach Hugh Mumby felt his team performed well against the strong competition they faced. "We were at a disadvantage teamwise, in that only six members of the team were able to make the trip. Having three out of six entries place in the top three in their events is pretty good." Fresno finished ahead of San Jose in the recent SJS Invitational, but Mumby feels that the Spartans are stronger in dual meets than they are in tournaments.
