Tournament Saturday In Spartan Gym |
||
| San Jose State's defending tournament champions will engage seven visiting squads at 12 noon Saturday in the seventh
annual San Jose State Invitational Wrestling Tournament in the Men's Gym. Leading the Spartan team against its opponents will be five veterans of last year's tournament. Warren King and Don Anderson, champions of the tourney last year, will be two of the Spartans' strong contenders. Joining them will be Cliff Olson, a two-time participant in the tournament, John Lim and Izzy Rodriguez. These five wrestlers helped SJS gain the championship title in last year's invitational. King was the 147-pound champ and Anderson captured the heavyweight title. Olson placed second in the 157-pound division after winning it the year before. Lim placed third in the 130-pound class and Rodriguez finished third in the 167-pound against able opponents. Grappling against the Spartans will be wrestlers from Chico State, UC Davis, UC Berkeley, San Francisco State, Santa Clara, Fresno State, and Stanford. Fresno State was a close runnerup to the Spartan team last year and will be a strong opponent again Saturday. The Bulldogs have defending 177-pound tournament champ Don Nelson in harness and Joe Rossi, a 157-pound California Collegiate Athletic Association champion, who figures to give Olson a tough battle. Roy Stuckey, winner of 16 consecutive matches last year and PCI champion at 123 pounds, will not compete for Fresno State due to an elbow injury. Spartan wrestling coach Hugh Mumby will have 10 grapplers entered in the varsity competition and expects a lard number of his squad to compete in the novice division. The varsity division will give experienced wrestlers a chance to pit their talents against men of the same caliber while the novice division is for men with little or no previous experience. |
