 Matmen To Enter Six Men In PCI 

 
     
  San Jose State College's chances in the PCI wrestling tourney received a welcome boost Friday when it was announced that six Spartan matmen will be able to make the trip to Washington State College at Pullman.

Original plans had only five locals entering the annual tournament to be held this year March 9 and 10 in the Cougar gymnasium.

Coach Ted Mumby said Friday that the Spartans may join three other schools in chartering a plane for the excursion northward. The University of California, San Francisco State, and Cal Poly may share the ride with the locals.

Mumby said that his team is so set on making a formidable impression at the PCI they decided to ignore the Far Western tourney held over the weekend in Oakland.

The strain and wear of such an affair would leave the athletes exhausted until Wednesday afternoon, Mumby said, and make practice sessions useless.
