 Wrestlers Conclude Oregon Travel

  No relief is in sight for SJS wrestlers who face a tough three-meet schedule this week after completing a four-day road trip last Friday.

San Francisco State provides the opposition tonight as the Spartans visit the Gators for a 7:30 encounter.

Weekend matches against Cal Poly (Pomona) and UCLA will close out the road travel. Coach Hugh Mumby remains uncertain about the Pomona bout because the Cal Poly coach claims schedule conflicts.

Although San Jose has not lost San Francisco since Mumby's arrival in 1952, the mentor refuses to take the Gators lightly. Last year the Spartans battled for a draw with the Citymen.

Pomona is an unknown team, while UCLA is the object of revenge for a 21-14 beating they handed SJS on Feb. 5.

Oregon State and Oregon handed defeats to the grapplers to close last week's road junket. Oregon State dumped the matmen 22-9 and Oregon eked to a narrow 17-14 decision.

Loren Miller and Ron Matheson led the Spartan wrestlers on the tour, both going undefeated. Miller's victories leave him undefeated in dual competition.

Foothill transfer Cy Lucas added three wins, including a decision over Oregon's Bob Mitchell, 157-pound AAWU champ last year.

Gary Scardina defeated the 137-pound Oregon grappler. Scardina expects to join the Air Force shortly, causing a reshuffling of talent. Mumby plans to move Miller to the 152 division, shift Lucas to 160 and have Mike Herschfelt return to his 167 spot.

John Walbrink, who aided San Jose in the middle weights, has joined the Navy.

Mumby displayed satisfaction despite splitting the four matches last week. San Jose lost the Oregon bout in the heavyweight battle and kept close in the losing matches.
