 Matmen Face YMCA Friday 

 
     
  Final result of Friday night's match against Oakland YMCA will depend upon how three men, in their first year of varsity experience, come through against their more experienced opponents, according to wrestling coach Gene Grattan.

Bob Norona, captain of last year's freshman team, will be making his second start in the varsity position at 128 pounds. Norona came through with a fall in his first match against the strong Olympic Club featherweight last week.

Another winner of last week, Gail Stewart, who won a decision, will be out for his second varsity victory at 135 pounds. Stewart wrestled on the varsity reserves last year.

The third newcomer will be Vic Gorin at 165 pounds. Gorin, who has had only one previous year of wrestling on the reserves, made the team on his strong showing last year in the Far Western tournament when he lost a close decision to the champion.

The freshmen reversed an early season defeat by Stockton YMCA Tuesday night at Stockton, 32 to 1, losing only one match. Dave Hines was outstanding for San Jose, winning matches in both the 145 and 155 pound divisions.
