uetfed III ma victory over Jhris
Tordnn in the first fail OF their
initial match ut Liberty Hall
/ lack also scampered out OF what
| appeared to be an incipient arm
| scissors by dancing around han
Oily and breaking Matsudas e.
forts with his legs
Each had considerable respect for
/ the strength Of the other SO thor
oughly conversant was each with the
/ ability Of the other also that they
both refused to take critical chances
and preferred TO hold back and wait
until they could obtain their favor
ite holds. This fact made conspicu-
Gus by the absence Of many holds
with which the fans are familiar
as Jack worked only with the toes
varying with an occasional BODY
scissors while Matsuda tried again
and again for his favorite arm holds
tended 10 give the contest the as
pect Of a one hold match This did
no result in slowness, however, as II
made the match all the more faster
and enjoyable as il was simply test
Of skill and mastery from the first
minute until the last
Toe Hold and Neck Bar.
Reynolds winning hold for the first
fall came in Al minutes. He obtained
a toe hold from under and a neck bar
When he had clamped Matty's leg
like a wise the champion leaned to-
ward referee Carl Studer and said
''9Iatsuda should concede this fall as
I may have TO hurt him" His rival
refused 20 pound wood. however, and
Reynolds exerted sufficient pressure
to convince the japanese star that he
could not break the hold
When Matsuda emerged from his
dressing room for the second fall the
HnH ct
tights for luck-having worn grey
ones during the mixing Of the first
fall This made his legs the same
color as those Of Reynolds who was
also clad in green tights and trunks
Reynolds complained in his dressing
room after the first fall that Matsuda
was usiCg nerve pressure holds on his
right arm and that the referee failed
TO see them He was confident, how
ever, OF winning the match
For the first 10 minutes the
two little cracks mixed IL speed
Ily. Reynolds apparently was
willing to allow Mntsuda to take
the aggressive rs he did not make
any serious attempt TO break his
opponents holds until they be-
came dangerous At the end of Il
minutes Mntsuda had obtained n
dangerous deadlock which was
broken. He was repeatedly try
ing for the toes Of his OppOnea.t.
but Reynolds kept them out OF his
way and he found IL impossible TO
obtain n secure hold.
At the end OF 20 minutes Matsuda
was showing more speed than Rey-
nolds who seemed TO be firing. Matty
was constantly behind his opponent
and was trying for a decisive hold
Secured Flying Mare.
In p minutes Matty obtained his
first decisive hold OF the day, a fly
ing mare with which Re tossed Rey-
nolds over his shoulder. The cham
pion was apparently much stunned by
the fail as he found il impossible to
protect himself as Matsuda came in
He afterward stated that his arm was
paralyzed by a nerve hold Matsuda
doWned Reynolds twice with the
same hold again and On the third
down pounced ppOl him and pinned
his shoulders with an arm hold
Sailor Greet won over "Bucky'
Bouckhout in the -emifinal when the
latter was compelled to give up as
result Of an injured rib he sustained
some time ago. Greet was the agrees
sor during this time, but BOuckhout
showed considerable speed and had
his opponent guessing during the
contest He again hurt his side dur
ing the first few minutes OF the
match and showed gamene-s by con-
tinuing for IS minutes.
Eddie Duer. rs pounds and
Prank Cushing, III pounds of the
Villas and 1IOrehead schools, re-
spectively, wresfIed 10 minutes to
n draw. The little fellows put mp
n clever exhibition and received a
good hand for their work.
