Saturday, January 16, 1932 Page Six -i 'if: COUNT LOSES TO RAY MXARROLL La Grande Wrestler Takes "Anything-Goes" Match Turk Beats Woods. Foreign wrestlers broke even in the two events on the benefit wrestling card at Eaeles hall last night, with Minn 1 no the Turk winning from Sail cr Jack Woods, of Denver. In straight falls, and Ray McCarroll winning two out of tnree from uouni trmaji Karkovsky, Russian grappler, In match that had most of the aspects of a grudge affair. Some members of the crowd were disappointed in the ending of the McCarroll-Harkovsky affair, and there was some criticism of the decision of the Judges. McCarroll stepped on the count's toes and Harkovsky Jumped outside of the ropes. Mc Carroll approached and headlocked the Russian back Into the ring, flop ping him and pinning his shoulders to the mat. A third and winning fall was allowed, as the Judges had no alternative. The count himself specified there should be no referee but that three Judges be selected to decide on falls una oreaxs. rne juages were given , uo other Instructions, and the match was announced as one in which "anything goes." It was not up to the Judges to step outside of their province to attempt to make any in terpretation of rules, in view of their confined duties and the fact that ordinary rules did not prevail. " Tho count took the first fall with R double toe hold in 25 minutes and McCarroll evened the match after eight more minutes when he butted Harkovsky from the ring, the Rus sian falling to return within the spe cified 20 seconds. Tho time of the third and deciding fall was seven minutes. Judges were Roy Farnam, Nolan Skiff and Dr. W. K. Ross, all mem bers of the boxing commission. Mlnnino the Turk, outweighing his Colorado opponent IB pounds, found the lighter man a bit too slippery during the first two rounds but In the third pinned Woods following a contributing body slam.. The Turk wound up the match In the next round with a body slam. Cliff White was referea and engaged the Turk himself at the end of the second tound when the grappler apparently did not hear the. bell. Butcher Scores Kayo Gerald Butcher scored another knockout victory, beating Gene Mc Lain in the second round. Tne flgnt was nearly even in the first canto, with both boys landing some good punches, but McLatn was taking inoro punlsiunent. In the second Butcher pommeled the other, heavier lad until McLaln was out on his feet, and Referee Farnam raised Butcher's hand to signal a technical knock out. One of the largest crowds present nt a match here this season attended last night's card. $ $ Sport Slants $$$$$$$$$ Ily Alnn IM.

I find much mention of Bcrlln gr's activities In South Africa dur ing the year but what ubout the all-around activities, sportsmanship and example furnished right at homo by Harvard's Barry Wood? For sheer competitive achieve ment, what amateur athlete could ccmparo with Ellsworth Vines over the year's course? For come-back glamour and the old fighting spirit, where was there an accomplishment to surpass that of Francis Oulmet? Protest Of course wo picked Oulmet. Wood and Vines as our trio of nomi nations in the J nines E. Sullivan Memorial contest. This carries with It tho privilege of making a squawk. What we can't figure out is Just how these three can finish so far belli nd the parade in a nationally representative poll. Oulmet tying with Clarence DcMar for fourth place, Wood placing sixth and Vines eighth. Clarence DcMar is a grand old man. plodding along in his forties Just for the Joy of marathon run ning, but 1 can't understand where ho got all those votes unless It was cn a mileage basis.
