In q rather scrappy match last eve

the mute and the match was the Greeks
from the start.
Vassill had about twenty pounds on

was unable 70 offset with his active

minutes and so seconds of wrestling.

the mat for tho second fall. Demon
Olsen made the Greek 80 his lIralt 70

to the floor during the first few min

minutes OF wrcs Ting, Tassill secured
another fall by the use Of the arm and

contest the Greek showed signs of using
dirty tactics. but the referee. James
I,ondos, himself 4 wrestler. stopped him
short every time.
He tried 20 use the strange hold sew

referee. Also. when breaking to get TO
the center Of the mat. he would shove
the mute after the rerern" rad gotten
the mute to break. The crowd booted
at him several times throughout the
contest and he was regarded with dis
favor.
Scrappy preliminary.
The preliminary between Matti" Mat

fought squarely. but were aggressive
throughout Satsuda got the first fall
in 81 minutes and 40 seconds after
time had ben called. Tho fall was SC
cured through the use<of - arm scts-
