Defending champion Oregon State heads the list of 16 participating schools, host SJS among them.

Coach Hugh Mumby's locals will enter the meet boasting a season record of 11 victories and 2 losses. Most recent affirmative for San Jose was by a 26-4 count over visiting UCLA, Feb. 27. The Spartans have captured their last five dual matches in a row.

Mumby will field his usual grappling lineup composed of Marvin Rodrigues (123), Don Perata (130), George Uchida (137), Ken Spagnola (167), Russ Camilleri (177), and Nick Sanger (hwt).
