two OF the other bouts on last

Lutte proved his superiority over
his Hungarian opponent by taking
two of the three falls for the
match. Arm and leg holds and
locks were employed by the two
men with telling effect. Shortly at

arm hold on Szabo and held it for
several minutes in spite of all that
Szabo could do to break it. He
wouldn't give up and finally the
hold was broken when both wrest-
lers rolled into the ropes.

seldom used his right.

OWENS To Be
EN- Erred IN
FOUR EVENTS
BY CHARLES MOORE
United Press Staff Correspondent

BERKLEY, Calf, June %. UR)
Jesse Owens, the BLACK Comet"
of Ohio State, and 10 Buckeye
teammates today attempted the
formidable task of Wrestling the
National Collegiate Athletic Asso-
citation track and field title from
undefeated University of Southern
California.
Owens, who established a new
all-time standard of track ana field
performance yesterday by winning
four qualifying events in the ma
tional meet, must win three races
today if the Buckeyes are to halt
the powerful 18-man Trojan team,
strongest ever coached by Dean
Cromwell.
The sensational Negro probably
will have to compete in but three
events today as his broad jump
mark is expected to withstand the
best efforts of the remaining nine
qualifiers.
On his first leap yesterday,
Owens scared 26 feet Is inches, for
a new N. c. A. A record, but six
inches short of his best mark of
26 feet, 85s inches set earlier in the
season.
Owens glided through both the
100 and 220-yard dash trials TO win
in easy style, and led his field in
the 220-yard low hurdles for his
fourth victory of the day.
Bumps Knee
The powerful Negro bumped his
right knee on a hurdle in his last
event but the Slight injury was not
expected to interfere with his at
tempt to smash records and prece-
dents in the championship compe-
tition.
Although conceded victory in the
broad jump and favored heavily in
the 220yard dash, Owens is rated
but an even chance of breaking the
tape in either the 220-yard low
hurdles or the 100-yard dash.
Glenn Hardin, Louisiana State
university star who won his heat in
the low barriers with the smooth
est exhibition OF speed and form in
the days trials, is an even bet TO
defeat the Ohio Negro in the lows
and George Anderson OF Califor-
mia is rated on a par with Owens in
the 100-yard dash.
Although lacking the brilliant in
dividual performers of the Ohio
State and Louisiana State teams,
University of Southern Californias
Trojans came into the final day
with Is men already qualified and
with six others entered in events III
which no qualifying trials were
held.

slams had rendered Lutte groggy.
Lutte took the second fall in five
minutes and needed about the same
length of time to take the last
and deciding fall with a double
armlock.
Another excellent bout was that
between Kimon Kudo, popular Jap
anese wrestler and Pete Mehringer
1t was a catch as catch can match
one fall with a 80 minute limit.
Kudo won after eight minutes with
a japanese arm stretch.
The two wrestlers wrestled and
played the game throughout in a
most Sportsmanlike IN nner.
Rounds of applause awarded them
when they left at the end of the
bout. During the match they came
together with such force that a
cash was cut over Petes eye caus-
ing it to bleed, but after a hasty
towel swabbing he was ready and
eager for the fray.
Rough Stuff Shown
And now having spoken of the
wrestling features, let's take a
glance at the remainder of the
nights program.
Harry Ezikian, 205 pound Assyr-
ian, and Bill Columbo drew draw
for their efforts in the 20 minute,
one fall preliminary. The match
was featured by an almost COM
plete absence OF wrestling of any
form or description and an appar-
ent endeavor on the part of Ell
khan TO succeed Ted Christy as the
bad boy" in the local ring.
He evidently had been in the
audience somewhere watching Ted
in his past appearances here for
he followed Christys routine al
most in every detail. Twice during
the match he tangled with referee
Bull Montana, and then, holding
his hands high to heaven he called
upon everyone to witness that he
had two men against him. How
could anyone win against such
odds, he pleaded. However, his only
assortment of boos and catcallS
which continued until after he had
left the ring
The special match between Err
ME Dusek and John Paul Jones,
Texas cowpuncher, was another
one of those things and lasted for
about 20 minutes during which
time everything in the book eX
cept wrestling was brought out and
used.
One popularity of this bout
which was quite evident was the
fact that it seemed to go by rou-
tine-might we say by agreement?
First Ernie would mess up Tex and
then Tex would mess up Ernie,
Everything went kicking, eye
gouging, punching, jabbing, etc, all
with a Semblance of savagery
which, however, was not convincing
to the fans who seem OF be sated
with such stuff.
And comedy made its appearance
as well as burlesque. AT one stage
of the proceedings while Ernie was
bent on totally eXterminating Tex
and to all appearances was making
a good job of it, Bull Montana was
working with might and main to
pull Dusek of fthe Jones when
the latter reached up and clouted
the Bull on the side of the head
and sent him staggering. Ingrati-
tude, we call it. After this episode
the match developed into a semi
barroom brawl until Dusek finally
pinned Jones to the mat by body
spread and the boys left for the
showers.
