Wrestling
The SDS wrestling squad finished the CCAA dual matches
competition in a tie for first place with Cal Poly (SLO). However,
the flip of a coin gave the Aztecs the trophy. In the first year of
CCAA dual match competition two years ago the Aztecs were
first and last season Cal Poly won. In the CCAA tournament at San
Luis Obispo the Aztecs, nursing a rash of unexpected injuries, were
unable to place higher than fourth. Individually, however a fine
performance was turned in by freshman Eel Hoffman, who came
through as expected to win the In-pound title. He was also
undefeated in 11 dual matches this year. Merrell Davis, senior
team captain who wrestled with an injured leg, was unable to claim
his third straight title. Frank Brown placed third in the CCAA
meet but finished the season as the leading point maker. John
Zook, who led the team in pins, including a 36 second pin
against Cal Poly (Pomona), was unable to compete because of
illness.
