Spartans Open Against Nevada Tomorrow |
||
| A busy weekend awaits the SJS wrestling outfit as they open their 1965-66 dual meet season with a visiting University
of Nevada contingent tomorrow, and are the host team at the Northern California Invitational Championships on Saturday.
Both meets are in the Spartan Gym. Expected to carry the hopes of the defending champion Spartans Saturday are lettermen Loren Miller, Gary Scardina, and Mike Herschfelt, and transfer Ron Matheson from Diablo Valley Junior College and Jim Bridger from Bakersfield JC. Miller, who is the defending NorCal 145-pound champion, won 16 out of 17 matches before competing in the NCAA championships in Ames, Iowa, last season. Scardina, who didn't go out for the squad last year, but lettered as a sophomore in '63-64, will represent SJS in the 152-pound division, while Matheson wrestles at 137, Bridger at 160, and Herschfelt at 167. Also competing for the Spartans are Dennis Runyon (123), Joe Silva (130), Paul Hatling (177), and Rich Popejoy (hwt). Cal, Stanford, Cal Poly, and Fresno State head the list of teams entered in the NorCal tourney. SJS coach Hugh Mumby expects the stiffest competition in his squad's title defense to come from these four. Other schools participating in the event are Chico State, Humboldt State, Nevada, Sacramento State, San Francisco State, and Santa Clara. Cal's Alan Siegal (137) and Miller are the only champions from last year slated to compete. The tournament gets under way at noon. A frosh-JV meet, bringing together freshmen and novice competitors from many of the schools entered, will be held concurrently with the NorCal championships. Richard Hamm (130), an outstanding frosh competitor from Campbell High School, is Mumby's biggest hope in this event. |
