| The SJS sports spotlight highlights wrestling tonight when Bill Smith's aspiring Spartan grapplers resume dual
meet activity in a non-conference encounter with a PAC-8 foe Stanford providing the opposition. Matches get underway at 7:30 in the SJS wrestling room. Mentor Smith looks for his squad to five the Indians a run for their money while admitting the Palo Altans have a lot of outstanding individuals and are "a little tougher than we are." The Spartans will be seeking their fourth win in six dual meets, having finished third (College Division) in the San Diego Naval Training Center tournament last weekend. The San Diego tourney was unscheduled but registration forced Smith to cancel a foursome of matches against Oregon schools last week. Spartan wins have come against Sacramento State (44-0), San Diego State (24-14), and most recently, a 28-11 win registered over Cal State LA during semester break. SJS also dropped a 21-17 decision to UC Santa Barbara over the break. Its other defeat was a 23-13 setback to San Francisco State in the season opener. Freshman Tim Kerr (163) garnered a third place in the San Diego tourney and is the "most improved young wrestler" according to Smith. Paul Hatling (177) also turned in a fine performance for the Spartans, winning three of four matches, although he failed to win a place. Hatling, along with Terry Kerr (142) sport dual meet records, including three and two pins respectively. Hatling's second, Cleve Holt's (190) third, and Walt Thatcher's (167) fourth place accounted for the majority of Spartan points good for seventh place in the San Francisco State Invitational over semester vacation. Humboldt State took the team crown and UC Davis placed eighth. SJS faces both foes Saturday in Davis. Individual Spartan dual meet records: Holt (hwt) 4-1, Dave Smith (134) 3-1, John Jacabo (142) 20, Ray Mendiola (190) 2-2, Walt Thatcher (167) 2-2, Arno Domingues (150) 2-2, Tim Kerr (158) 2-3, Harold Yee (118) 2-2, Tim Owens (126) 1-2, Dick Rose (134) 0-1, Don Cowan (190) 0-1. |
