 SJS Ties Stanford; Faces Hayward Friday

 
Stanford's wrestling squad picked up two late decisions to come from behind and tie SJS's grapplers 15-15 Tuesday night in a match held at Stanford.
 
Spartan mentor Bill Smith was well pleased with his team's performance as only one week earlier the Indians had defeated SJS 22-16. 
 
It was a strange match in that no pins were recorded. SJS now owns a 4-4-1 record for the current season in building up towards the PCAA tournament which will be held at SJS March 7. 
 
SJS has three road matches before coming home for the league championships. The next wrestling meet will be Friday at Cal State-Hayward. "Stanford won easily over Hayward, so i feel strongly we'll come up with a victory Friday," mentioned Smith. 
 
At Stanford, senior Paul Hatling (177) scored his ninth consecutive win by decisioning the Indian's Roy Williams and giving the Spartans a brief 15-9 lead. Walt Thatcher (167), defending PCAA champion, picked up his sixth win against two setbacks on the current season by decisioning Jerry Ross. 
 
Other wins for SJS were scored by Owens (126), Terry Kerr (142), and Arno Domingues (150).
 
After Friday's match with Hayward, the Spartans travel to Fresno to meet Fresno State on Feb. 24 and then battle rugged UC Berkeley Feb. 27 in their last test prior to the conference tourney.
