 Wrestlers Test Beavers

 
     
  Oregon State provides the opposition for the SJS wrestlers tonight as coach Hugh Mumby's Spartans move into the final week of their highly successful season.

The match begins at 7:30 pm and will be proceeded by a preliminary match between the SJS frosh and West Valley College at 4:00 pm.

The Spartans conclude their home slate Friday night against Chico State at 7:30.

The Beavers, one of the top teams on the West Coach, are led by heavyweight Mark Gartung, Jeff Smith (177), Lee Sprague (145), and Ron Iwasaki, who competes in the 123-pound division.

Top competitors for SJS are Dave Allen and Paul Hatling. Sophomore Allen will battle in the 152-pound division, while junior Hatling will contest Smith for 177-pound honors.

Hatling and Smith were both double winners in the Spartans' triangular match with California and Eastern Washington last Saturday.

Unfortunately the pair were the only winners for SJS against the Washington team, and the Spartans bowed 27-6, after defeating Cal 23-11.

The Spartans were hampered against Washington by forfeit losers in the 160 and heavyweight divisions, where injuries to Gary Ramstetter and Rich Popejoy forced their elimination from competition.

Neither was seriously injured, and Mumby is hopeful th both will be able to perform against Oregon State.

Other Spartan winners against the Bears were L.Q. Starling, Dan Swensen, and Gary Lorenz.
