SJS Wrestlers Remain Perfect |
||
| If early season indications hold up, the Spartan wrestlers are going to have a fine dual meet season. Hugh Mumby's grapplers polished off San Francisco State Tuesday night in impressive fashion, allowing the Gators only five points. It was the Spartans' second triumph in as many tries. In their first meet, the matmen shutout the University of Nevada 39-0. However, Mumby has scheduled some of the best teams on the West Coast and things are bound to get tougher. That chance will be apparent Friday and Saturday when the Spartans send four members to the Mare Island Invitational for their second taste of tournament action. The annual Mare Island Invitational attracts some of the best amateur wrestlers in the area, including junior college, college, and club performers. The Spartan aggregation will be led by Dan Swenson, Rich Popejoy, Joe Silva, and Gary Lorenz. The Invitational will be the final competition for SJS until after the christmas vacation, when they return to dual meets. Then the task could really become difficult. Their first encounter will be against Fresno State. The Bulldogs always boast a strong club and finished second to Cal Poly in last Saturday's Northern California Invitational. The Spartans were third but had a number of wrestlers finish fourth or higher. In tournament competition a few outstanding grapplers can earn a team enough points for a high ranking. However, in a dual meet, the team needs balanced strength throughout all the divisions for a victory. One of the team's high points will come during semester break to the Arizona State University tournament. Then on consecutive dates, the Spartans will wrestle Santa Barbara, UCLA, San Diego State, and San Fernando Valley State. |
