 Wrestlers Meet Tough Foes 

 
     
  Pacific Coast wrestlers invade SJS Saturday to compete in the Pacific Association Senior Tournament at 11 am in Spartan Gym.

According to SJS coach Hugh Mumby, the wrestling squads expected to compete are the Olympic Club, Oakland YMCA, Modesto JC, Berkeley YMCA, Stanford, San Francisco YMCA, Santa Clara, Moffett Field, San Jose JC, and Cal Poly.

In addition to team competition, the wrestlers will compete for Pacific Association Amateur Athletic Union medals in eight weight divisions.

Among the outstanding amateur wrestlers Mumby expects to see action tomorrow are Jay Holt, the 1955 national AAU champ from the San Francisco Rowing Club; Dr. M. A. Northrup, three times a NAAU champ; Dick Francis, formerly of SJS and two-time PCI champ.

SJS will be represented in the tourney's heavyweight division by Nick Sanger and George Elkerton.

Going in the 191-pound division for the Spartans will be Russ Camilleri and Bill Sickels. Camilleri emerged from last Saturday's PCI tournament as the 177-pound king.

Ken Spagnola (167) will grapple for the Spartans. Rugged Spagnola was runnerup in the PCI meet last week, suffering a close overtime loss to Barry Billington of UCLA.

Powerful Cal Poly, recently crowned PCI champ, rates as top choice to walk off with top honors.
