The Harvard touch stroked bad
wolf from Oklahoma in the arnlory
wrestling ring last night, and Tom
(the Bad Wolff Marvin discovered
that the report that the lads from
the Yard use their fingers only to
manipulate delicate Back Bay tea
cups is essentially legendary.
He lost a thirty-minute decision
to Frank Judson Of Boston, for
merly coach of the Harvard CRAP
ping squad, in what was booked
as the semi windup of the weekly
Hercules A. c. bill, but turned out
to be, as far as the crowds choice
and the time spent on the mat were
concerned, the main attraction of
the evening.
Mr.. Judson's contacts with the
Cambridge brain and manners
trusts marked him the instant he
went into action against Mr.. Bad
Wolf Marvin, who dispensed with
all preliminary activity and leaped
straight into the routine Of gouging,
slugging and choking.

of murderous Indians and stern
frontiersmen still are very, very
young.
Marvin Repeats Tactics
But all the nonchalance in the
entire Cape Cod region wouldn't
have sidetracked Mr.. Marvin's
venomous practices. So Mr. Judson
trotted out parcel Of wrestling
tricks featured by peculiar scis-
sors-Nelson with which he tipped
Mr.. Marvin round and round the
ring, only to lose the hold when Mr..
Marvin finally pitched out of the
ropes
Still the little illegalities that pro-
vide most of the mat dramas were
uncurbed. Then Mr.. Judson for
sock his Harvardish demeanor, and,
as Mr.. Marvin tumbled him to the
floor and continued to apply a
stranglehold in the laps of the front
row patrons, he joined into the
spirit of the thing with good right
hook. .....
From the front row a hefty gent,
who had vociferously disapproved Of
Mr.. Marvin for some time, leaped
into the fray-just one pace ahead
of the cops, who separated the Crap
piers, the audience, and Mr.. Heze
Clark, the referee, and dispatched
each to their places. A few min
utes later the bell ended the bout,
and Mr. Clark lifted Mr.. JudsonS
hand in victory.
Siagel Downs Milo
Mr.. Sol Slagel, the human fish
worm from Topeka, Kan, avenged
Herr Adolph Hitler's persecution of
the tribe of Abraham in no small
way as he grappled Milo Steinborn,
late of Germany, now Of ST. Louis.
The German strong man copied
the initial fall of the main go in
one minute as he grasped Mr..
Slagel in a bear hug and pressed
him to the floor. But when Herr
Steinborn tried the same hold
twenty-five minutes later, Mr..
Slagel squirmed out of it, and
Topped the German with reverse
body lock. Six minutes after that
he slipped from another hug and
downed Herr Steinborn with re-
verse body slam.
Andy Rascher, Cedar Lake, Ind,
returned to the local mat after
several weeks vacation, to show
the fans he had learned some Of
the rougher tricks of the ring with
which to counter the specialties
offered by Floyd Marshall of Ari-
IONA. Andy threw the westerner
with a short arm tackle in twen-
ty-two minutes.

tween Petrolle and Ross tonight.
Ross knows everything is going to
be all right-he isn't old enough to
worry. Petrolle is, and he is going
to worry quite bit, whether he
wants to or not. There is some
thing in the human chemistry that
takes care of that.
Petrolle will have a fve-pound
pull in the weights. Ross will have
a five-pound pull in age.
Very pertinently, Tony Canzoneri,
who has fought them both, in
quires: IF you were fighter, would
you rather be five pounds heavier
or five years younger?"
Canzoneri speaks from expert
ence. A better all-round fighting
machine in every respect, still he
