Cameo N) Opener
BY Floyd Madrzykowski

Some of the members of our
Unit are really fighting mad these
days. Every day someone is chal-
longing someone else to something
or other.
The most recent challenge went
out to Bill Kleparek, who has been
boasting so blatantly of his 100
average (on his toy bowling alley).
This match, it is said, will be rolled
at the Pal-A-Drome alleys on Sum
day, Feb. ID (although we doubt
it).
1t is also reported that Elmer
Seegert has his wrestler in train
ing. although Rough House only
weighs 180 pounds we are con-
templating the acceptance of the
MarvePs challenge" says Elmer.
To this, Ernie Schultz, The
Masked Mans trainer answers,
"My man tips the scales at 205
pounds at present, but promise to
trim him down to $50 pounds if
necessary" Boy, that is what we
call response.
1t is known that both these boys
are rated as the best simon-pure
wrestlers in the Unit at their re-
spective weights, and that both
have added considerable muscle
while in training for the past week.
The Eye Opener hopes to get
these boys tangled very shortly.

cepted, read like this:
