Nagurski, Concrete
Overcome Terror
In Mat Bout
Tossed to Arena Floor,

Upsets Peterson

The Golden Terrors record of
never having his shoulders pinned
to the local rassling mat still is un-
Sullied, although he lost his match
at Turner's Arena last night to
Bronko Nagurski, thus keeping the
Bronk's string of local victories in
tact.
During the early going, when the
Terror turned on all his villainy, it
appeared that he would be disquali-
fled for rough tactics. Two or three
times the fans threatened to invade
the ring, and one of them did crack
the Terorr's second over the head
with q crutch. The second departed
for the dressing room nursing a
bleeding eye.
Concrete Stops Terror.
After % minutes of excited maui
ing, Nagurski tossed the masked
rassler over the ropes, and Robert
Wheatley. as he is known in legal
circles, was unable to continue after
landing on the hard concrete. The
capacity crowd was pleased.
Tommy O'Toole tossed Pete Peter
son with a series of body slams in
the feature preliminary. In others,
Wild Man zim kicked away Casey
Berger. Nick Campofreda disposed
of Dutch Schultz and Red Ryan and
Doc Len Hall rassled 80 minutes for
