Pagan of George Washington University
The first tipped the scales at 134. and
the latter at 49,. Connolly chose to take
the defensive, and in an unlimited bout

with a leg-and-arm hold and the other
time with half Nelson. and thus scored
enough points to bring him the decision
when time was called.

was that between AL Chisolm. 149, of the
Memorial A. c.. and Herman Schmidt. l46.
of the Columbia Turnverein Although
the former had the better of the argument
at the start. yet the latter by tall hustlins
balanced things up so that an extra three
minutes were ordered by the referee in
order to get better line on the points.
In this extra round ChisOlm got a half
nelson on the German grappler and kept
it until time was up, thus being credited
with the advantage.
