SJS Defeats SFS, Face Stanford Next

 
Spartans wrestlers hope to make it two wins in a row tonight in the local gym when they face the power-laden Stanford matmen in a dual meet starting at 7:30.

The Gold and White returned to the victory column last night in the San Francisco State gym as they tossed the host Gators for a 28-8 loss.

Tonight's battle will mark the second time coach Hugh Mumby's squad has run into the Indians. The Spartans pulled an early season upset over the Redmen at Palo Alto when heavyweight Jerry Ruse pinned his opponent for a last ditch 18-16 win.

Against the Gators last night, the Spartans got off to an early 20-0 lead and were never headed.

Kay Toyota and George Lao were awarded forfeits to begin the action. Ron Stingley followed by pinning SFS' Fred Chow in 2:35, and the Gators' Bill Dorffi was a victim of Pete Herder's pin in 4:26.

San Francisco's Bill Schmidt decisioned the Raiders' Russ Utley in the 157-pound class for his team's first three points. Tom Stern, who doubles as a boxer for the Spartans, decisioned Ben Northrup in the 167-pound division before San Jose's title holder Dick Francis pinned Clair Parsh of the Gators in 3:34. It was Francis' fourth straight win via the pin route.

The heavyweight bout was forfeited to the Gators.

Mumby announced that the same lineup will appear in tonight's tussle with the Indians.

San Jose's record now stands at 5 wins and 7 losses.
