LOCAL BOY WINS DECISION IN
BEST MAT MATCH AT
TULANE

At the annual Tulane wrestling
tournament held Thursday night at
the gymnasium; G.. Eldridge ellis,
a local boy won the decision.
There were six bouts, but the most
hard-fought match of the entire lot
was between w. H. Jones, a sopho-
more, and ellis, a freshman. The
match went the time limit of fifteen
minutes and an extra five minutes
was agreed upon by the contestants,
but after three minutes Of wrestling,
ellis threw Jones off the mat in
such a manner that Jones turned on
his left arm and injured 1t in such a
way that he could not continue the
match and Referee Kogos awarded
the bout to ellis.
The match was real struggle
from the opening to the abrupt fin
ish. Gillis had previously thrown
Jones in the Freshman-Sophomore
wrestling tournament and Jones was
out to retrieve the defeat. However
despite the fact that Jones repeated.
ly broke holds on ellis, the latter
was the aggressor throughout the
match and seemed to have the edge
when the bout suddenly terminated
