Matmen Score 20-18 Victory Over SF YMCA |
||
| Coach Sam Della Maggiore's Spartan wrestlers eked out a 20-18 victory over a powerful San Francisco YMCA squad
Friday night in a meet that was undecided until the final heavyweight match. Going into the final match trailing 18-15, Karl Kuhl came through to win a fall in the final after an overtime period was necessary to decide the winner. Kuhl won a fall over Angelo Getas in 12:36. Biggest upset of the evening was the defeat of team captain Mel Bruno by coach Clarence Kemp of the YMCA. Kemp scored a fall over Bruno with only seven seconds to go in the nine-minute stretch. Still showing the effects of his recent arm injury, Bruno started strong, but faded badly to lose the match. Spartan light-heavyweight Bob Riddle lost the only decision of the evening to John Getas. Both teams scored four victories, but San Jose won the most falls. Other San Jose winners were Vic Gorin at 155 pounds, and Ivan Olsen at 135. Gorin won a tough match over Ed Brunetti, and Olsen had an easy time over John Grubert winning by a fall in 5:03. Con Lacy won by forfeit in the 121-pound class and came back to lose a fall to Sal Salvador in 8:14 of the 128-pound class. |
