YMCA Beaten in Double Header |
||
| Coach Gene Grattan's Spartan wrestling teams scored a double victory over two Bay Area teams Friday night in San
Francisco, as the varsity walloped Oakland YMCA 16-8, and the freshmen edged out San Francisco YMCA 19-16. The powerful Spartan varsity had little trouble winning their half of the double header, winning all but two matches. Heavyweight Sam Della Maggiore, San Jose's second place national champion, was the victim of an upset, losing to big Jim Groudie, 270-pounder from Oakland in the final match. Another Spartan casualty was Vic Gorin in the 165-pound division who lost a close decision to Bob Holback. Gorin looked impressive in his second match, but lacked the experience to win. Quickest fall of the evening was scored by Con Lacy, Spartan 121-pounder over Vic Eley in 51 seconds. Team captain Fortune Masdeo (145) and Gail Stewart (135) also scored decisions over their Oakland opponents. Masdeo defeated Bob Seaton, and Stewart won over Al Marino. Bob Riddle won by default in the light-heavyweight class. For the freshmen, Karl Kuhl (hwt) was outstanding, winning two decisions over Ed Epting and Leo Whippirin of San Francisco. Team captain Dave Hines (155) also showed up well in copping a decision over Dave Scriminger. Dave Osmond, freshman light-heavyweight, wrestled twice, losing a decision to Avila Gates at 175 pounds, and winning a fall over Howard Chase in the 191-pound division. Alvin Duty and George Yoshisato, both of San Jose, wrestled in the 121-pound division. San Francisco scored points by winning over Bob Langden at 145, Earl Holtorf at 165, and John Hughes at 170 pounds. Langden was forced to forfeit when he pulled a muscle in his side. |
