Spartan Matmen Enter National Meet Next Week |
||
| Coach Sam Della Maggiore's San Jose State wrestling team, back from Southern California with two victories under
its belt, is getting down to serious training this week in preparation for the national championship matches to
be held at Lansing, Michigan, next week. Friday night the Spartan matmen defeated the San Gabriel AC, the California Shipbuilders, and the Sherman Institute teams in a four-way meet at the Institute. Winning their matches for the San Jose team were Leroy Charlesworth, John Castleman, team captain Dave Hines, Al Long, Hans Weidenhoffer, and Gray McConnell. Second on the list of the Spartan's victims was the UCLA Bruins Saturday night. After forfeiting the 128 and 136 pound divisions because they lacked competitors and the San Jose team nosed out the southerners by an 18-16 count in a match held in Los Angeles. Hines, Castleman, and Charlesworth won fall victories for the locals while Weidenhoffer scored a decision in the Bruin matches. Ivan Olsen, one of the mainstays of the Spartan squad did not compete in the Southern California matches because of a cracked rib suffered in a recent match. His chances of recovery in time to participate in the nationals are better than were first expected, however, and he may be able to compete. |
