Eugene Grattan Memorial Meet Being Planned 

 
     
  Spartan wrestlers will compete in a Eugene Grattan memorial tournament sponsored by the San Jose YMCA and the Kiwanis Club in honor of the memory of the late San Jose State College wrestling coach who was killed last year in an automobile crash.

The tournament will be an annual affair covering Santa Clara County and the date has been set for May 1 and 2. The matches will open for any grappler in the county to enter.

Championships will be awarded in three divisions, junior high school, high school, and open. The Spartans will compete in the open division with teams from Santa Clara, Stanford, Moffett Field, and YMCA. Matches will be held at the San Jose YMCA gym.

Grattan was the leader in developing wrestling in this area and was also prominent in youth activities at the YMCA. At San Jose State he was a "dollar-a-year man."
