Coach Sam Della Maggiore's grapplers finished their abbreviated season Friday night in San Francisco when they
participated in a Pacific Coast amateur meet against California and the Olympic Club. They garnered 20 points for
the third spot, the Winged "O" lads capturing the blue ribbon.
Biggest surprise of the meet was the defeat of Hans Wiedenhofer by Miller of the Olympic Club in the finals. Hans
drew a pair of byes to gain the finals and had to give away about 20 pounds to his opponent. Because State had
no man in this particular wight class, Wiedenhofer, who weighs 168 pounds, had to wrestle in the 191 pound class.
This defeat was his first in 17 starts, dating from the beginning of last season.
The only first place finisher for San Jose was Paul Borg who has lost only one match all season. Bob Creighton
won his first match but was defeated in his second to be put out of the running in the heavyweight division.
Other State wrestlers who were entered were Jack Breslin, Hank Imsen, Augie Avila, and Don Butcher. Each man had
to wrestle a round robin.
San Jose has competed in four matches this season, winning only the Far Western in Oakland, their first bit of
action. They dropped two meets to California. |
