 Wrestlers Finish Season Tonight

 
     
  Sam Della Maggiore's Spartan wrestlers go into the last act of the 1943 wrestling season tonight at the Olympic Club in San Francisco when they try their luck in the PAA championship tournament.

After a rather disappointing season, the grapplers will be attempting to get back in the winning ways they once enjoyed. Two losses in dual matches to California have dropped their stock way down in value, and as the Spartans have always had a top-rate team, this sub-par standing isn't at all to their liking.

Practically all the members of the squad will be in action against the best competition obtainable on the West Coast, and in their present war-weakened condition, San Jose's matmen will have to be at their best, or better than their best, to stand much of a chance in the conclave.

One boy that Della Maggiore won't have to worry about, no matter who he has to face, is the Spartans' 175 pounds Far Western champ, Hans Weidenhofer. If anyone on the team has a chance to win a title, it is Weidenhofer.
