was laying his approach puts dead.
Crawley collapsed in his round

Fischer and Fiddian played a see

Raw Steele Heads All-Star
Mat Bill Against VacturOff

Armory wrestling fans will have
an opportunity of seeing several OF
the countrys most colorful heavy
weight mat aces i'll action here
Tuesday night when Matchmaker
LLOYD Carter of the Hercules A. G..
presents three bouts on a program
that promises to provide more than
the usual amount of action.
Heading the card is Ray Steele,
crack California husky, who will
pit his skill against the powerful
Ivan Vacturoff, 235-pound Russian
star. Steele scales 215.
Vacturoff is of the rough type
and is said to be an expert at dish
ing out bone-crushing tactics which
have given him numerous triumpS
over top ranking heavies. Steele is
rated among the first five best
heavyweights in the game and has
beaten Ed (Strangler) Lewis, John
Pesek and jim Browning. New
York recognizes Browning as the
heavyweight champion.
An added treat is in store in a
special semi-mindup in which
George (Cry Baby Zaharias, will
attempt to add to his long list of
local victories when he clashes with
Sander Szabo, who claims the Hun
garian championship. Carter chose
Szabo from a list of outstanding
heavyweightS as ZahariaS' oppon-
ent. The Hungarian is said to be
able to give and take" and indica-
tons point to action galore when
the two come to grips. Tom Mar

Giuseppe, Italian, in the opener
at $50.
