Wrestling Squad Travels To Utah For Two Meets |
||
| While students return to SJS this week to resume the old grind, eight Spartan wrestlers are enjoying a postponed
vacation consisting of an auto trip through the Rocky Mountain country to be climaxed by bouts with the University
of Utah and the Utah Aggies at Salt Lake City April 2-3. Coach Gene Grattan, who leads the pilgrimage to the Mormon country, can be depended on to have his charges in rare condition of the invasion as he doesn't underestimate the Utah boys in the least. The SJS boys made their best showing of the season last week in the sectional Olympic trials held at Berkeley Monday. The Berkeley meet featured the best amateur wrestling talent on the coast and the Spartans ended right up in the money with little Jack Fiebig winning the 123 pound title and the right to go back to Pennsylvania for the national tryouts. Team captain Arthur Philpott at last came though to show his old time form to reach the finals in the 191 pound division, 25 pounds over his weight. He lost a decision to Arden Johnson of UC in a hard fought title match. Wendell Hansen placed third in the heavies and won the privilege of mating the Utah trip. Others selected by Grattan include Numerino Davin, Jack Fiebig, Robert Roumasset, Gene Lear, Milton Rush, team captain Arthur Philpott, and Bruce Allen. |
