Spartan Wrestlers Defeat Athens Club 31-10 |
||
| Two decisions, two falls, and three forfeited matches, gave the Spartan wrestling team a 31-10 victory over the
Athens Club Saturday night. In order to replace one of the forfeited matches, George Wenglein (155) met Al Shay of the Oakland YMCA. Shay won by a fall in 9:12 in what turned out to be one of the best matches of the evening. Shay is the present Far Western and PAA champion. At 170 pounds, Frank Kelly of San Jose scored an upset win by a fall in 5:32. This match was second only to the Shay-Wenglein affair for thrills. A double top vine plus a reverse nelson enabled Jack Fiebig to win over John Blanco in 7:29. Fiebig was in his usual championship form. Henry Puckett proved himself to be one of the best men in the bay region in winning a decision over John Smith. Puckett won by the top time of 5:32. Martin Olivarri piled up the top time of 4:07 to win from Dalo of the Club. Olivarri's usual wiry strength and speed enabled him to win the match with his usual ease. Martin Sword, and Carlton Lindgren, the team nightingale, each lost by a fall to Holbrook and McFarland of the Club, respectively. Lindgren found his shoulders rubbing against the mat in 3:37, while Sword postponed his defeat until 7:05 minutes of the match had passed. The Club donated 10 points without a struggle by forfeiting the heavyweight and lightweight matches. |
