CHAMPION PRAISES
LOCAL WRESTLER
Bud Frisk Wins Two Falls Out of
Three From Private
Deistler

Both Company K, and the large
pleased with the athletic program
presented by the company on Mon
day evening.
The wrestlers, Bud Frisk of st.
Paul, who holds the welter weight
title of the Great Lakes Naval Train
ing Station, and Private VIM. Deist-
Ter, a local man, we're we'll matched,
in height, weight, and skill. Altho
Frisk won two falls out of three, it
is the opinion of fans that the local
man, with little more training,
would easily have out-classed his
opponent, and would certainly have
won the third fall, had his arm not
been weakened by the hammer-lock
hold which Frisk used repeatedly
during the last round.
The program opened with boxing
matches staged by Smith and Gutter,
light weight boxers, 3 rounds, 1 II
minutes each, Foster and Hennessy,
2 rounds, II minutes each, and Ben
Deistler and Seamans, rounds, 1 "
SdCu DAA4AA6 SAS ~AAA -
round a rather violent quarrel oc-
CURED between Private McDaniels,
and Corporal (Slippery) Carlson in
the audience; athletic director
Kennedy decided that the place for
fight was on the stage, and bout
between the two was announced, the
audience "got wise" to the fact that
it was put-up job, and enjoyed the
unusual bout. McDaniels knocked
out Carlson, but horseshoe was dis
covered in his glove, so to Carlson
were given the honors.
No decisions we're given in the
other bouts.
Art Rannestad refereed. A kid
fight" between young Garvey and
Norton called forth uprorious ap-
pIause. Garvey won the honors.
The first fall in the main event be-
tween Deistler and Frisk was won
by Frisk at 33 minutes, with head
and scissors hold. BY the end of this
bout, the audience had become most
enthusiastic about the clean playing
and even-matched skill of the welter-
weights, and looked forward eagerly
to the second bout. This was won
by Deistler in u minutes, with the
crotch and half Nelson hold. The
decisive third fall was won by Frisk
in "a minutes. Deistler, his arm
weakened by the hammer lock hold,
used by Frisk during the first part
of the bout, was forced to give up
when his opponent again used this
hold on him, and the fall and match
was given to Frisk.
After the match, Frisk spoke few
words to the audience, and stated
that he had never met with an op-
ponent who showed so much skill
with so little training; that Deistler,
with additional training, was un-
doubtedly coming champion, and
that it had taken all his skill and
strength to outwit him. AS Frisk is
not only the welter weight cham
pion of the Gerat Lakes Naval Train
ing Station, but claims the welter
weight championship of the north
west as we'll, statement of this kind
from him, is undoubtedly decided
boost for Private Deistler.
Emil Aker, who was expected here,
was unable to come, due to illness.
and director Kennedy, was forced to
put in an eleventh hour call to JIMMY
Potts in st. Paul, who sent Frisk.
