  Wrestler Exhibits Skill, Defeats Olympic Club Star

 
     
  Freshman Frank Kelley of the San Jose mat squad gave an exhibition of pluck, skill, and strength unequaled this year when came from behind to win over Ivan Polomac, Olympic Club 175-pounder, Saturday night.

Polomac has proved to be nothing short of a sensation this year and had won every match he had been entered in. With a rush he seemed to force the Spartan off his feet and let for the first half of the match but was unable to pin the Stater and did not rate enough top time to take the match. Consequently the two went into an overtime of two periods in which Kelley's endurance earned him a hard won victory.

In nodding to the Olympic Club, coach Gene Grattan's matmen fell before strength gathered from the championship University of California varsity of 1936 plus their own last year squad.
