Hansoa to wrestie Joe cutrsr in Nc
Comb Thanksgivine.


Gustave Hanson, the European wrest-
Ter who lost two falls to Henry Furr
here q week or so ago. win grappie with
Joe Cutrer, at McComb Thanksgiving
night. The real goal to which Hanson
is working is return watch with Furr.
Hanson does not boast. brag and is
keeping very quiet about his aims and
purposes. but those who know him best
lgure that he is not satisfied with the
result of his last encounter with Furr.
Hanson made many friends here by
his sportsmanlilxe conduct at the con-
clusion of his bout with Furr And
those who study the wrestling game
and the men in the game. realize that
a man who can be as fair and impair
tial right on the heels Of defeat as Han
son was in his remarks about Furr, is
| man whose Judgment is not apt to
be warped or biased in any way; and
that If Hanson figures he has a chance
to conquer F'urr, that there must be
some foundation for. such a belief.
| In any event Hansons victory Thurs.
day night at McComb would create q
demand for a return match with Furr
and Furr's friends say he will be more
than willing to arrange it.
On the other hand. Furr has been try
4 ing to arrange <go with Cutrer foI
some time, and states that should Joe
prove victor in the contest with Han
son he will challenge him to match
to be staged here in few weeks; so in
any event Breokhaven fans are almost
sure to see some more wrestling at ar
early date.
