The 1959-60 edition of the Trojan wrestling squad compiled the best season in its history. The team fin- ished its dual meet season with a record of six wins and three losses. In addition, the grapplers placed seventh in the state tournament. Highlights of the year included an opening win over Tucson and subsequent victories over Glendale and Yuma. Previous to this season, C'atalina had never defeated these teams in wrestling competition. The victory over Yuma was probably the most meaningful because a few weeks later the Criminals took second place in the state tournament behind powerful Phoenix Union. The Blue and White placed four men in state tour- nament competition: Dave Rowe, fourth, at 112, Frank Lukus, fourth, at 127, Bill Tucker, third, at 145, and 160 Jim Dainty, third, at 175. Five Catalina matmen were undefeated during the regular season. They were Willie Campos, Jim Dainty, Dennis Eddy, Frank Lukus, and Jeff Shofner, Willie Campos was the hard-luck man of the squad. After a dislocated elbow had prevented him from competing the previous season, successive shoul- der dislocations sidelined him a good portion of this year. In the semi-final match of the regional trials he was leading his Yuma opponent by a 6-1 score when his shoulder was dislocated again. This mishap made it necessary for him to withdraw from the tournament. Graduating seniors this year are Jim Dainty, Dave Murpy, Dave Rowe, Jeff Shofner, and Bill Tucker. They leave behind a promising crop of undergraduates eager to carry on the team's tradition.
