| Although the scoreboard in the Spartan Pavilion read 21-15 in favor of the visitors at the end of the San Jose
State vs. San Francisco Olympic Club wrestling meet last Friday night, the actual tally was later found to be 20-16
in favor of the Spartans when it was discovered that Clarence Geist (OC) had come in overweight for the 175 pound
match in which he had pinned Bruce Allen of San Jose State. The largest crowd yet to turn out for the season's wrestling witnessed a meet in which every match provided a stiff battle and where the final issue was in doubt up until the last minute. Robert Roumasset, SJS's up and coming 135 pounder, although losing his match, stole the show. Meeting Ross Smith, Pacific Coast Amateur Champion, Roumasset put up a stubborn battle, yielding but 6 and a half minutes top time to the Olympic Club veteran. Jack Fiebig maintained team high scoring honors and his record of gaining a fall in every match by pinning Grant Bennion in 7:24. Fiebig found Bennion a tough boy and was in trouble once or twice before pinning him. At 145 pounds, Gene Lear (SJ) ran into another champion in Waldon Hansen, PAA champ of 1934. Lear looked very good in losing, allowing his opponent but 6:37 top time. In his first meet since his release from the Health Cottage, poor condition cost team captain Art Philpott his match with Doc Northrup (OC). Philpott appeared in good form in the opening minutes but tired quickly, with Northrup gaining the fall in 5 minutes. Other results were: Kondraskoff (OC) pinned George Wenglein (SJ) in 1:55; Martin Olavarri (SJ, 135) defeated Dick Bennion (OC) with top time of 7:35 in an exhibition match; Arthur Hansen (SJ, hwt) pinned Uphavich (SJ) in 3 minutes in an exhibition match. |
