SANTEL-PETERS CO
LASTS TWO HOURS;
NEITHER GETS FALL
Judges Give Decision to Ad but
Sport Editor Picks Peters as
Winner = Boxing Prelimi-
naries Good.

Before the largest house OF the sea-
son, AID Santel and Charlie Peters
wrestled two hours at the Pinney the
atre Monday night without a fall. San
tel was given the judges decision. Pc
ters, however, was entitled to 1T. For
the first time, Boise fans saw their
favorite matched, unable to subdue his
man and compelled to defend himself
most of the time. During the last half
hour of the go, Santel took the initia-
tive, but he could not cut the mustard
This wrestling sheriff from Nebras-
ka is handsome fellow stripped for
action-with legs, arms and chest like
Frank Gotch, and apparently with a
good deal of his strength and general
ship. He did not loaf minute, and
never allowed the Boise man to expert
ment with him very long. He kept ap-
plying bar locks, Lewis headlocks and
Nelson's, combined with crotch holds
or body scissors, and repeatedly made
the champion suffer severe punish
ment. On points alone, and that was
the deciding factor, he scored oftener
than Santel and was therefore entitled
to the decision.
ACTION ALL THE TIME.
There was action from the first min
ute. Santel was behind when they
first went to the mat, but while trying
to apply one hold had to wriggle out of
three. In the first 40 minutes Peters
clamped the Stetcher body scissors and
deadlock on Santel no fewer than
five times. Each time the willy Dane
wriggled out, earning hearty applause,
but Peters gave him no time to do any
damage himself.
Forty minutes from the gong Santel
made his first try at his favorite arm
scissors. By main strength the Neb-
faskan pulled his arm free in a min
ute and half, and for the next 45
minutes insisted on debating the
terms. .
1t was apparent during the last half
hour that Santel had the shade on con-
d1tion, no longer feared defeat himself
and was doing the thinking for both.
