Kdmpfer Scores
Over Dusek

Memories of the Arena wrestling
show continue to linger today with
sports fans in the city and vicinity.
Several unusual events occurred.
One sad note was the sudden
death of George Takas, a Specta-
tor, address unknown, who died
from a heart attack brought on by
excitement during the semi-final
match between George Koverly
and Cliff Olsen.
Two happier notes were the
bouts between Hans Kampfer and
Rudy DuSek, which the former
won, and the setto between Ko-
verify and Olsen, which developed
as the best bet of the evening.
Olsen copied this latter bout,
but not before the crowd was made
to forget, in a sense, the depres-
sing death of spectator TakuS.
Koverly went down after 1872
minutes. Olsen put a slam and
body press on display and it
worked. 1t also ended a bout which
had Koverly as the villain de luxe.
The Kampfer-Dusek clash was
the usual thing. The boys mixed
it up throughout their % minutes,
but with nothing of the garrulous
win and wigor" Of the Koverly-
Olsen match. 1t had it's mo-

The Tandem Formation is now
rather obsolete, the reason most
likely being that there is slightly
too much strength to the right,
with naturally not sufficient to
the left, or weak side.
The strength in the above fOrma-
ton lies mainly in its "bucking"
power, that is in SmaShes directly
through the line. Due to the posi-
ton of the backs, the ball may be
passed directly to any one of three
backs, Nos. l, 2, or 3 back. This

lis true of very few formations, as
you can see by looking at those
in my other articles.
There is also a great deal Of
strength in off.tackle plays and
end runs to the strong side. Passes
can be worked very nicely, as the
men are in a nice position to get
out into the open.
One must never forget that,
although some formations are sup
pOsedly strong and others weak,
it is the smart coach who varies
his offenSe to fit his players.

There were 744 votes cast with FIVE

that the magic Of the Roosevelt
achievements and the fact that he
got the vote Of the average laborer
were the contributing factors to the
astounding vote result here.
Union Party Vote
The Union party here polled 1876
votes for Mr.. Lemke, which was con-
siderably more than some democrats
had thought they might get,
although much less than the sup
porters OF the party here hoped for.
Although Norman Thomas, social
LIST candidate for president, only
received "a votes here, Jasper Nc
Levy, socialist nominee for COVER
nor, got 81 ballots.
The election result was the talk
Of the town last night. Democrats
heayd with Joy Of similar results
In other towns and were delighted
with the triumph Of President
Roosevelt today.
There were q number Of auto red
light parades here last night IN
celebration Of the deinocrau VIC
tory and in one, q "hearse" con-
tanning q reclining body, apparently
supposed to represent the republi-
can party" was hauled through the

Much Of the increased democratic
vote here may be due TO the fact
that since the last election more
than 500 voters have been made
most OF whom were apparently
democratic. Republicans had felt
however, that the fact that so many
republicans who ordinarily remain,
at home, had voted, would offset
this vote. As one democrat re-
marked after the result was known
II guess all those who rode In re-
publican cars didn't vote republi-
