Minus three star performers, an injury-ridden Spartan wrestling team will make its first home appearance of the
season tonight in Spartan Pavilion, risking an undefeated record against the wolf pack of the University of Nevada.
A new type of double header is on tap with the wrestlers performing as a preliminary to the San Jose-Nevada basketball
game. Mat fans should appear early, as the matches start at 7, and will be over by 8.
Team captain Mel Bruno, Davey Hines, and Yosh Uchida are the three regulars out of competition for the meet. Bruno,
sensational 165-pounder, is out with a bad leg received in the match with Clarence Kemp, coach of the San Francisco
YMCA last week. Kemp handed Bruno his first dual meet defeat in four years.
Davey Hines (155) is also out with bad ribs. Hines, clever sophomore, was undefeated in intercollegiate competition
last year, and handed Kemp his only defeat this year. Uchida, featherweight, is out with a cut eye.
The Nevadans will start a strong team led by coach Frank Rosachi. Rosachi will meet Bob Norona in the feature match
of the evening. Rosachi was the outstanding Nevada wrestler and wrestle a sensation draw with Norona in Spartan
Pavilion last year.
The rest of the lineup will remain the same as last week. Karl Kuhl at heavyweight, Bob Riddle or Charlie Smith
at 175 pounds, Don Carmen or Bill Hoover at 165, Vic Gorin 155, Dave Kawamoto 145, Ivan Olsen 135, Bob Norona 128,
and Con Lacy 121. |
