BOrdSen Wins
Wrestling Match

One of the best wrestling
bouts ever pulled off in this city
was that held Friday night be-
tween John Berg of Otis Orchard
and Ben Bordsem of Calcutta, In
dia. Bordsem won in two
straight falls, taking the first in
one hour and eight minutes and
the second in ten minutes.
Bordsem was introduced as the
heavyweight champion of the far
east and judging from his work
Friday night he certainly deserves
the title. He is an exceedingly
clever, fast wrestler and these
qualities combined with big ad-
vantage in weight, were too much
for Berg. The difference in
weight was about twenty pounds
which was too big a handicap for
Berg to overcome, although he
put up a superb defense, time af-
ter time breaking bad holds and
working out Of dangerous posi-
tions.
It was announced at the close
Of the match that Bordsem will
be matched with Nick Daviscourt
of Ellensburg, the bout to take
place in this city some time next
month.

Praise for Local
High School Team

In a recent issue or a TekOa
paper considerable credit was Civ
Ell. the st Maries High School
football team for the work which
it has done this season, and the
statement shows the respect the
local team has won outside this
city. The Tekoa High School
team has won the championship
of Whitman county, winning all
her games by good scores and
only 26 points were scored against
her during the season. These
26 points were made by the St.
Maries team, which won two
touchdowns by hard straight foot
ball in each game played with
Tekoa. This fact is the more re-
markable when it is considered
that the ST. Maries team was
probably the lightest team played
by Tekoa this season, the local
boys being outweighed some 1S
or 20 pounds to the man.
The locals were defeated at
Occur d'Alene in their last game,
which was a severe disappoint-
ment to their adherents, as the
ST. Maries team had been credit
ed with superiority over their ole
time rivals, and would have taken
the game easily had they shown
any kind of form.
The boys are working hard tC
get into shape for the two re-
naming games, with Gonzaga's
second team and Oakesdale Higf
School, both of which will be
played here, one on Thursday O.
this week and the other Thanks
giving day. The Gonzaga team
has a fast crowd of players anC
the locals will be hard put to i
to win, yet that team was unable
to score on Tekoa so the lOca
boys feel confident of at leas
holding their own next Thursday
