W3ba Students 30 Weaver Loses To Yaqui; Strickland Beats Davidson By CHUCK PLUMMER The Yaqui Kid fought to a well earned decision over Buck Weav er In the main event of Elton Owen's weekly wrestling card Saturday night at the armory. In the opening bout. Georcc Strlr-lrlpnJ ty.U d f.Vleiull decision from Buck Davidson. The Yakul Kid lost the first fall to Weaver, but fought back to take the next two stanzas with identical holds. Weaver took the the first fall when Yaqui Joe, the Yaqui Kid's manager, threw in the towel because the Kid was taking too much punishment on his arm from Weaver's arm stomps and hammerlocks but wouldn't give up. The Kid was on the brink of defeat again in the second fall, when Weaver applied the same punishing hold. Yaqui Joe tried to get the Kid to give up again but the Kid refused, and suddenly jumped out of the ham merlock' and grabbed Weaver In his famous abdominal stretch to take the fall. In the final canto, Weaver was knocking the Kid all over the Ting with flying mares and hip throws, aided by hair pulling, and it looked like he was going to win the match. He shoved the Kid Into the ropes and let him bounce back, then knocked him to the floor. Weaver tried the same trick again, but this time, the Yaqui Kid knocked him to the floor and quickly ap plied the abdominal stretch to win the match. In the opening match, David son, using his usual rough tactics, had Strickland bleeding at the forehead Irt the first fall, as re sult of ramming it against the ring post once and hitting hiin with doubled up fist in a head lock. After 18 minutes of action, Davidson seemed to be pushing Strickland around at will. He shoved him into the ropes, Strick land grabbed Buck's arm knocked him to the floor, and took the fall with shoulder stomps. In the second fall, Davidson opened a large gash on Strick land's forehead from his usual tactics of slugging. With about 12 minutes gone, Davidson rammed Strickland's head into the ring post, knocked him to the mat, and won the fall with a surfboard. After Owen had raised his hand, however, David son ran over and jumped on Strickland's back and Owen promptly reversed his decision.
