Grapplers Meet LAJC In Mat Finale For 1938 |
||

| San Jose State wrestlers bring down the curtain on their 1938 mat campaign tonight against Los Angeles Junior College. Mentor Eugene Grattan sends his top notch varsity battlers against the strongest college wrestling team in Southern California, with the opening bout scheduled to begin at 7:30 in Spartan Pavilion. As a feature of tonight's program, wrestling manager Williard LeCroy hopes to obtain a German band to provide music between bouts. Mentor Grattan has also scheduled an exhibition joust between two of his ace matsters, Mel Bruno and Jack Smith. This should lure a large crowd of fans as both are Pacific Coast champions in their respective divisions. LAJC comes to the Spartan den this evening seeking revenge in the worst way. Defeated by coach Grattan's squad two months ago, the junior collegians have been eagerly awaiting a return match. Jack Fiebig also seeks to reverse a setback he suffered against Louis Largey, top flight LAJC wrestler. Fiebig had things well under control in his first bout against Largey, but lost via the fall route when he got careless. Jack is determined to make up for the loss. Wrestling captain Martin Olavarri, leading State 135 pounder, will be unable to help his mates out this evening. Ollie injured his hand two days before the Far Western Conference meet and in the Coast Championships at Berkeley last week again suffered an injury to the same arm. Coach Grattan made it known that the popular Spartan leader will definitely not wrestle again this year. As there is only one more meet left on the schedule, the PAA, Olavarri's loss will be keenly felt. Spartan wrestlers answering the gong tonight for the final bouts of the year are as follows: Chic Tonouye (118), Keith Hughes (126), Jack Fiebig (135), Carlton Lindgren (145), George Wenglein (155), Mel Rush (165), Jack Smith (175), and Johnny Jones (hwt). |
