  SJ Matmen Preparing For Coming Meet

 
     
  The Spartan wrestlers are busily engaged in preparing themselves for a return meet with the San Mateo Junior College matmen. The match will be held in the Men's Gym Wednesday night.

In an early season match the junior collegians eked out a hard earned victory by winning the final match on the program. The final count was 18-16.

Coach Hubbard yesterday spoke very optimistically on the probable outcome of the return meet.

According to Hubbard, co-coach with Gene Grattan, the local grapplers have improved almost 100 percent since the earlier match with San Mateo.

He pointed out that the addition of Chernoff into the ranks of the 135-pounders would strengthen the team to a great extent and add the missing balance of the squad.

Following the two early season losses to the San Mateo team and the Air Base squad, the Spartans have shown great ability in gaining two verdicts over the strong California frosh squad and a revenge victory of a sensational type over the Sunnyvale men.

Coach Hubbard believes that San Jose has two of the best novice wrestlers in the college ranks in Glover and Enos, both of whom are in the same wight division. The coaching staff has been unable to decide the lineup heretofore because of the closeness in ability of the two.

Another Spartan who has attracted special attention from the coaches is Philpott, who wrestles in the light heavyweight class.

The squad is really determined to gain this win over San Mateo and extensive daily workouts are planned for the remaining time.
