are the worlds champion Osh-

just about the greatest player of
modern times and easily one of
the all-time stars of the sport.
Detroit fans who saw him in
action on a similar card at the
Olympia last March will sub
scri' to that. Then, too, there
is his record to substantiate any
claims made about him.
He held the national colleg-
late scoring record of 1889
points made a Toledo Univer-
sity, a mark that stood up until
last year when another u. of To-
ledo ace now with the Toledo
pros, Bob Gerber, broke it with
1924 TALES, but Gerber played
in about ten more games. AS a
pro, Chuckovits has been even
more sensational. In 1941, at the
worlds pro tournament in Chi
cago, he setup a record of 81
points in four games.
Chuckovits went on last year
to crack to smithereens the sea-
sons scoring mark Of 364 in the

The Anger who has been on wrest- ling tour of Cuba mas met a delay inu his return and will be unable to reach New Britain in time for this weeks bout.

 Talun and Casey are no strangers t0 each other or the wrestling lov- ing public. They met in New Bri- tain last November in a memorable bout, one of the best seen here since the return of wrestlinug. Both are big men and, while Talun exceeds Casey in height and weight, the for- mer Irish fisherman is the equal tot he Polish star in strength and probably his superior in wrestling skill.
