 Mumbymen Face Olympic Squad

 
     
   In search of their sixth straight victory of the season, the Spartan wrestlers will meet the Olympic Club in the Spartan Gym tonight. The first match will begin at 8:00.

The Olympic Club consistently has one of the best wrestling teams on the coast and should offer the Mumbymen some formidable opposition.

To date the Spartans have defeated Stanford twice, University of California, Cal Poly, and San Francisco State. Four Spartan grapplers are undefeated. Joe Tiago (130) has won five straight, as has Dave Leslie (157). Dick Francis (117) seeks his sixth straight, as does Bob Roebuck (hwt).

There will be ten matches tonight. Coach Hugh Mumby has selected Kay Toyota to represent SJS in the 115-pound division, Joe Ross will grapple in the 123-pound match, while the undefeated Tiago wrestlers in the 130-pound class.

Either Dan Gonsalves or Jack Cassedy will wrestle in the 137-pound weight. Pete Herder will represent the Raiders in the 147-pound bout.

Tom Bassche replaces undefeated Dave Leslie in the 157-pound match and Joe Thornley grapples in the 167-pound division.

Undefeated Dick Francis will battle in the 177-pound bout, while either Tom Fine or Paul Reuter will represent SJS in the 191-pound division. Roebuck will be the SJS heavyweight.

The Spartans are tentatively scheduled to meet Alameda Air Station Feb. 19, in the Spartan Gym.
