Wolverines Lose To State Matmen

Spartans Win Close Meet By 16-14 Score

EAST LANSING -(AP)- Michigan State College’s wrestling team remained undefeated today after taking a hotly contested meet from the University of Michigan last night by the score of 16 to 14.

The Spartans scored the only fall in the 136-pound match when Leland Merrill threw Ray Deane in 8 minutes and 19 seconds. This match spelled the margin of victory as the events were evenly divided with four decisions apiece. Each team took a match by default with Michigan State gaining one on the illness of Michigan’s Tom Weidig and the Wolverines evening it when Alex Haddad was unable to continue because of a sprained ligament.

The Spartans, who downed Wheaton and Ohio State in previous meets, encounter the Case School of Applied Science here Friday night.

The summaries:

121-pound class — "Cut” Jennings (S) decisioned Klemach (M).

128 pounds — “Bo” Jennings (S) by forfeit over Weidig (M).

136 pounds — Merrill (S) fall (8:19) over Deane (M).

145 pounds — Maxwell (S) decisioned Becker (M).

155 pounds — Coombs (M) decisioned Riggs (S).

165 pounds — Paddy (M) decisioned Pletz (S).

175 pounds — Galles (M) decisioned Hutson (S).

Heavyweight — Butler (M) by forfeit over Haddad (S).
