| Rugged Russ Camilleri of San Jose State's wrestling team captured first place in the 191-pound weight division
of the Pacific Association Senior AAU wrestling tournament held in Spartan Gym Saturday. Camilleri, 177-pound PCI champion, earned his straight AAU crown and an automatic bid to the National AAU wrestling tournament in San Francisco April 2-4. Three other San Jose products placed in the tourney. Frosh Leroy Stewart finished second among the 147.5-pound competitors. Ken Spagnola, a varsity wrestling team veteran, grabbed runnerup honors to Dick Francis of San Francisco Olympic Club in the 174-pound classification. Spagnola was similarly second in the 168-pound division of the PCI meet conducted here March 7-8. Francis, now competing for the Olympic Club, is a former SJS grappling great. He was twice a PCI champ and three times finished third in National AAU action. Francis completed his collegiate wrestling career at San Jose in 1955. Third place in the 174-pound division went to Jay Holt of San Francisco Rowing Club. Holt was the United States representative to the 1956 Olympics in the Greco-Roman wrestling field. Holt was a National AAU wrestling champion in 1955. Spartan Nick Sanger wound up third in the heavyweight division. Sanger trailed Cal Poly's Pat Lovell and Delmer Scales in point totals. Lovell is this year's PCI title winner in the unlimited class.
