SJSU Wrestling Archives The Spartan Daily 2-24-37                   Spartans To Wrestle UCLA           Having defeated the reputedly strongest team in the northern part of the state, the Spartan matmen will Friday night turn south to defend the old fort against the invasion of UCLA. Coach Gene Grattan expects to personally scout the first appearance of the UCLA matmen at Berkeley Thursday night in the civil war of brother ursines, Bruins against the Bears. With this information, the Spartan strategist will instruct his men as to the vulnerable spots of the Southerners. Boasting a group of veterans, the Bruins come to this section touted as the strongest squad of Southern California intercollegiate wrestling history. Coach Grattan is expecting to use his entire squad consisting of freshmen and varsity matmen and therefore the meet will be an exhibition but wrestled in the inimitable manner that has given them so far a record marred only by two extra points won by the Olympic Club. The SJS mentor is depending greatly on two of his varsity veterans, Martin Olavarri and Melvin Rush. Olavarri has the best record so far in which he has been undefeated and has garnered team points second only to PAA champion Jack Fiebig. His success so far has been due to his steady type of work in which he uses his leg to such a degree to completely outfit his opponent. Mel Rush at 165 pounds is consistently in there fighting and will be a tough man for Hardy of the UCLA squad to defeat or even stay the route with.
