 Wrestlers To Battle FSC Today

 
The Spartan wrestling team meets its toughest test of the season today when it travels to Fresno for an 8:00 pm dual match.
 
Last Friday and Saturday, the Spartans participated in the Mare Island Invitational and came through with a second place finish behind, you guessed it, Fresno State. 
 
It was Fresno State that took first place honors at the San Jose Invitational held Dec. 2. In that tourney, the Spartans earned a 7th place finish. 
 
The Fresno Bulldogs hold a consecutive win string of three over the Spartans --- something that no other team can claim --- so there will be an added incentive for SJS coach Hugh Mumby's wrestlers. 
 
Mumby cites four FSC wrestlers who will furnish the toughest opposition for the Spartans. They are Ron Moran, Steve Niles, Mike Gallego, and Frank Kirby. 
 
Spartan stalwarts include L.Q. Starling (115), Loren Miller (152) who was named the "most outstanding wrestler" in the Mare Island Invitational, Jim Bridger (167), and Joe Acquino (hwt). 
 
Rounding out the lineup will be Bob Bailey (130), Steve Volmer (137), John Wallbrink (145), Dave Allen (160), and Roger McClaughry (177). 
 
This will be the final match for the Spartans until Jan. 5 when powerful San Diego State comes to town. And then on Jan. 6, UCLA, one of the top-rated wrestling teams in California, will battle SJS in Spartan Gym.
