 Wrestlers Second In AAU Mat Meet

 
     
  San Jose State's varsity matmen scored 43 points to grab second place in the Pacific Coast AAU wrestling meet Saturday in the San Francisco YMCA gym. The Spartans were runners up to the powerful San Francisco Olympic Club which notched 50 points to annex the team championship.

The Olympic Club men garnered seven first places to the Spartans' two, but coach Ted Mumby's men were strong in second, third, and fourth spots.

In the 115 and 165 pound classes, both finalists were Spartans. Bryce Wheeler and Billy Rothwell hooked up in a terrific duel in the lighter weight with Wheeler winning a 3-2 decision for the championship.

Frank Waxham took a 2-1 decision from varsity captain Pat Felice for the 165 pound crown. Waxham had previously beaten Jay Holt of the Olympic Club, one of the top ranking grapplers on the Coast.

Dale Wolfe, Ben Ichikawa, Jim Schall, Billy Wardrup, Ray Bunnell, Don Foster, Darrel O'Steen, Phil Bray, and Keith Wilson also hit the scoring column for San Jose.
