WOLF AT Arena
BY HOWARD JACOBS

Jumping Joe" Savoldi, who Is
one of the few wrestlers in action
today that can boast Of a victory
over Jim Londos, the Golden
Greek, returns to a Washington
mat after an absence Of several
months tonight to do battle with
Chief Little Wolf, rough Navajo
Indian, in the headlined mat en-
counter at Turner's Arena.
The dynamic Italian gained
prominence in the sports world
when he carried the mail for
Notre Dame, achieving al-Amerlca
honors, and turned to the grap-
pling wars to achieve further
glory, and also the coin that goes
with it. Joe made the game pay
him big dividends, for outside of
LondoS himself, he has cleaned
more .greenbacks than any other
matmen in the sport. And what
is more he still has it.
Joe startled the wrestling world
a little more than five years ago
in Chicago when he scored fall
over Londos, then the world
champion. That match is listed
as one of the greatest upsets in
the annals of wrestling, for no
one is going around knocking
over Jeems. 1t seems Jimmy
doesn't like it, and that's all there
is to it.
The RedSkin, regarded as a
draw in the District of Columbia,
is expected to supply the Italian
behemoth with plenty of trouble.
especially to withstand that pun
ishment, and carry on to victory
The encounter should have its
share of thrills, grunts and what
nots, which should more than meet
with the satisfaction of the old
faithful.
