v"' Doubts which some fans hae
expressed as to whether aionaay s
wrestling , match between Robin
' Reed and Henry Jones is really a
-world's championship tussle or
not will be discarded readily Jn
the light of all the pertinent
facts. 1 .
Jack - Reynolds was formerly
th 'world's welterweight cham
pion by dint of mat yictories. But
according to Henry Jones, Jack
began i to add weight soon after
acquiring the belt and for the
past fire years has weighed in the
' neighborhood of 16 5 pounds,
full 20 pounds, heavier than the
. weight his opponents had to make
to meet him.
-Henry-Jones charges that Rey
nolds refused to weigh in for his
bouts as his opponents were re
quired to do.
Association Brings
Order out of Chaos
'With no system or order in the
, welterweight ranks, the Mid-West
Wrestling . association which has
as members several of the upper
Mississippi valley states, quieted
' the chaos of the situation by
staging an open tournament 'for
the championship of the welter
weight- division.
No one was barred from enter
- lng the tournament provided that
. he could make the required
weight of 145 or less. More than
100 grapplers fromi practically
all the states of the union and
from numerous foreign countries
entered tne tournament. It was
this tournament' which Robin
Reed of Reedsport, Oregon won,
and his final triumph brought
him the belt which he still holds
In spite of two close calls with
Henry Jones. '
Reed and Jones have not avoid
ed meeting jack Reynolds, but on
the other hand are anxious to
tangle with the ex-champ. In fact
Jones !s so deslrcus of meeting
Jack that he has repeatedly of
fered to all American Legion or
ganizations, including Salem's,
that he will wrestle Reynolds at
his present weight and will give
all his share of the proceeds to
charity if he falls to win from
Jack. Jones met and defeated
Reynolds shortly before the lat
ter became champion.
The reason Reynolds didn't
enter the tournament was because
it was obviously hopeless for him
to even consider making the
weight. Robin Reed perhaps made
the weight easier -than most for

go full speed.

Henry was recover ig from , au

have met twice. In the first bout
there was a big question In the
minds of all as to which won the
bout. On the final fall Jones was
making Reed pat the mat when

The referee's hair-line decision
went in favor of Reed.
The second meeting of the two
is familiar to all. That was the
bout where Jones whip wristlock-
ed Reed into semi-consciousness
and won from the speedy Reeds
port editor, only to miss the belt
by being too heavy. I .
Since early last fall Reed and
Jones have set up remarkable
grappling records. Jones has not
lost a match to a man ef his
weignt except tne mooted one

one in his weight and that was to
Henry Jones.
In past years Jones has wres
tied only a few months each fall
and winter and then return to his
farm work in Utah. But he has
now been on the road since last
November and is working harder
than ever on the mat.
Robin Reed has probably had
more matches than that during
