Downed by Steele S
Blow, Lewis Asks
Mat Rematch

Ed (Strangler) Lewis claims he
can lick Ray Steele with ease any
time they meet If reasonable rassling
rules against unnecessary roughness
are enforced, so a rematch appears
In order after last nights brawl at
Turner's Arena, in which Steele
pinned the former champ in %
minutes.
Steele administered the coup by
slugging Lewis and knocking him to
the floor as they broke from the
ropes and for his efforts was booed
heartily by the capacity crowd Of
1000. The loser on the other hand
received a 5-minutes ovation from
the spectators and made a little
speech in which he indicated his
opponent was no gentleman and de-
manded a rematch.
The co-feature women's match
also was rough going from start to

Gladys Gillem with a body press in
