Grapplers Grab 4th In Tourney 

 
The Spartan grapplers wrestled to a three-way tie for fourth place among 13 teams in the 17th Annual Mumby Wrestling Tournament Saturday in the Men's Gym.
 
If one or more of the wrestlers had won, the Spartans would have moved to third place. 
 
Cal State-Bakersfield won the tourney with 20 team points, followed by Fresno State with 13, and San francisco State with 12. 
 
Next came the tie between SJSU, Humboldt State, and Chico State, all with 11 points. 
 
SJSU posted several individual stars including Dan Kida (126) who wrestled seven matches to take individual first place honors. He totaled three pins and four decisions. 
 
In the heavyweight division, 235-pound Spartan Donnell Jackson wrestled to second place to 300-plus pound Bill van Worth from Humboldt. 
 
Freshman Rudy Guevara (118) took third in his division while sophomore Rafael Meza took fourth at the same weight. 
 
Jim Lucas (142) took third place on his first wrestling outing for the Spartans. Kerr said, "Lucas should be a major threat with more experience." 
 
Oscar Trevino followed suit by scoring a third in the 134 spot. 
 
Kerr, noting the performance of Mike Cunningham (158) stated that although Cunningham didn't place, he was much improved and did a good job.
