  Wrestlers Topple Another

 
     
  Definitely establishing themselves as one of the leading collegiate wrestling teams west of the Mississippi, the Spartan wrestling squad decisively defeated the UCLA matmen 6-2 Saturday night in exhibition matches.

A crowd of some 600 persons saw the SJS men topple the southern squad with four falls, one decision, and one forfeit.

Henry Puckett and Jack Fiebig, outstanding lightweight wrestlers, continued their winning streaks by downing their opponents in 9:01 and 3:00 respectively.

At 135 pounds, Martin Olavarri won a hard fought match in throwing Coleburn in nine minutes flat. Carleton Lindgren met a hard man Kurfoot and was decisioned by the UCLA wrestler in 6:11. George Wenglein at 155 pounds, lost to Wheeler (UCLA) by a decision in 4:34.

Melvin Rush, showing an improved style, threw Lacey (165) in 7:45. John Jones, in meeting Roberts of UCLA, had very little trouble in winning by a fall in the short time of 2:11. UCLA forfeited in the 175-pound class, setting the final score at San Jose 6 and UCLA 2.
