JESSE HANSEN IS
DOWNED TWICE BY
LOCAL WRESTLER
Turner Wins Out Over
Heavier Opponent AT
Gayety Theater.

Joe Turner, the local athlete and
recognized middleweight champion,
gained solid place in the hearts of
Washington wrestling fans by getting
two falls out Of three from Jesse Han

the Gayetv Theater. Hansen, although
nearly twenty pounds heavier than his
opponent was worked to lis capacity
to get the first fall from Turner in
sixteen minutes and forty-five seconds.

lock and toe hold, under which strain
the local boy suffered for many Sec

bout went to him after twenty-five
minutes Of graphing. The toe hold was

Rough Game Awarded
To Corcoran Cadets

Corcoran Cadets basketball team was
awarded the contest with the Cardinals
of Alexandria at the National Guard
Armory, the decision going to the local
quint by forfeit. Score to o.
Early in the contest it was seen by the
manner in which the athletes were
playing that much rivalry existed be-
tween the teams. As the game pro-
crossed the contest became a slugging
match and Referee Bopp was forced to
stop the game frequently to warn the
players against rough tactics.
Bopp's admonition evidently carried no
weight with the goal shooters, as before
the game was completed one man had
to be taken from the floor unconscious.
After this scene the visitors refused to
continue the game and the local lads
were given the decision.

the proper equipment to handle the

the right sort OF equipment. but hav-

Mr.. Vinson says that for twenty miles
along the San Juan. and for one -half

has been withdrawn from entry and
everyone feels that the government
should again throw such a rich section

Mr. Vinson Is interested In the San
