The powerful Othello Hus-
kie wrestlers "toyed" with
three more opponents during
the past week as they ran their
season record to 10-0, and now
will be expecting a bit tougher
competition as they move into
another three-match week.
The Huskies routed East-
mont 52-6 here last Friday,
had only a couple of dis-
appointments winning 45-18 at
Quincy on Saturday and then
returned home to beat the
defending Class A champion
Royal Knights 42-21 on
Tuesday.
This week's action will find
Coach Don Mikiska's charges
heading for East Wenatchee
for a return match with the
Wildcats on Friday, hosting
the tough Connell Eagles on
Saturday and then going to
Richland to meet Hanford on
next Tuesday.
Huskies Favored
The Huskies will be favor-
ites in all of the matches and
are expecting their toughest
challenge to come from
Connell. The Eagles are rated
as the favorites* to succeed
Royal as the 1974 Class A state
champions and have a number
of top individuals.
Mikiska indicated that he
will be going with all of his No.
1 wrestlers against the Eagles
and be hoping they will be able
to make up the 12 forfeit points
the Huskies must give away at
the 101 and 108 spots.
Although it is another AA
school, Hanford isn't expected
to present to big a challenge
for the Huskies on Tuesday.
Gilbert Loses
Individually, the Huskies
had one disappointment dur-
ing the week as they lost one of
their seven unbeaten wrest-
lers. Junior Nell Gilbert was
upset 2-1 at Quincy Saturday
night by Jack Thornton. The
Quincy wrestler surprised
Gilbert as he battled him on
even terms through the first
two periods. After Gilbert had
gone into a 1-0 lead with an
escape in the final round,
Thornton came back with a
iil¸
takedown for the victory.
Heavyweight Mike Padilla
also had a narrow escape at
Quincy as be barely squeezed
out a 2-1 victory over the
Jacks' Jerry Neito. After
giving Neito a 1-0 lead on an
escape in the second period,
Padilla came back with a
stalling point and then added a
third-round escape of his own
for the win.
Keeps Pinning
Otherwise, all of the other
Huskie unbeatens came
through in final style with Nels
Emerson leading the way with
two more pins. The Huskie
178-pounder has pinned every
opponent he has met this
season. Tuesday night he
moved up to 190 to face Royars
Gary Christensen and polished
off the Knight veteran in 48
seconds.
Senior Kenny Schutte
showed he ha¢ rebounded
from an early season injury
with three easy victories, and
the Huskies' other three un-
beatens - Kevin Bets, Scott
Bliss and Kenny Mohs - were
impressive in their ap-
pearances during the week.
It was a complete rout
against Eastmont here Friday
as the only points the Wildcats
could manage were six for a
forfeit at 101. In the seven
actual matches the Huskies
scored four pins, one superior
decision and two decisions.
Early Scare
Saturday at Quincy the
Jacks gave the Huskies a brief
scare as they jumped in front
18-0 after the first four
matches on forfeit points,
Thornton's upset and Don
Faw's 11-4 victory over Steve
Niblett. However, Schutte,
Bliss and Mohs came right
back with pins to tie it and the
Huskies won all of the rest.
One of the highlights came
at 168 as senior Dan Mendez
found himself trailing 9-8
against Jack veteran Jack
Fogelsong, but rallied in the
final seconds with a take-down
and near fall for a 13-9 victory.
Tuesday against Royal ¢he
ay
Huskies had reserves in
several of the spots. Junior
Chan Bailey had a strong ef-
fort before losing 11-6 to
Knight state veteran Juan
Garza, and Schutte had little
trouble in polishing off the
Knights' tough Rick Garza. In
the closest match of the night
Royal's Jerry Murphy used a
take-down and escape in the
third round to edge Chris
Jones 9-8 at 158.
