Gloomy One Gets First Fall
With Tackle and Drops

Associated Prcii Sports Writer
I.OS AN0KLE8, Cal., Dec. 11.
W) One of professional wrest
ling's world heavyweight title
claimants,' Oustavius Sonnenberg,
has been elbowed out of the circle
of champions by another collegiate
youth, Don George.
It occurred here last night before
10,400 persons who made the
crowded Olympic auditorium ring
with shouts of approval as the for
mer national amateur champion
from Michigan university disposed
of Dartmouth and Detroit univer
sities' flying tackle exponent, two
fulls out or three.
The shifting of the heavyweight
crown as recognized by California
and several other stutes came very
much as a surprise, and terminated
Gloomy Giis reign of 23 months,
during which time he engaged In
hundreds of exhibitions over the
country without dropping a match.
Took First Fall
C!ub, whose goat-like tactics re
vived Interest In the business of
bone bending after tossing Ed
("Htrangler") Lewis out of his
right to a share of the crown claim
ing spotlight in Boston early In
11)29, took the first fall with the
cuutomary flying tackle in 14 min
ues and 7 seconds.
- A head scissors and double wrist-
lock gave George the second fall
In 20 minutes and 30 seconds, after
he had taken things pretty much
In commund. The final fall came
without any opposition from, Son
nenberg. An armlock of tb Jap
anese variety put the ex-champion
on his shoulders in 12 minutes and
62 seconds.
Second Meeting
It was the second meeting of the
pair. In a previous encounter here
Sonnenberg was declared the win
ner after the pair had met hend-on
In the center of the ring as they
Inunrhed flying tackles at the same
moment. .
George was out cold, but Clus, ap
pearing groggy, was able to pin his
opponent's shoulder to the mat alt
er recovering from the Impact.
After the bout last night Sonnen
berg said the ligaments In his
shoulder were torn during the sec
ond fall, rendering bis left arm
useless.
George took up wrestling for a
living after making the Olympic
team In 1928.

The killing of a bald eagle in

lowed yesterday by a report from

the town of Itopuo Htver that
an eagle, larger than the local
bird, was killed by Fred Blank.
It had a wing spread of seven feet
nnd had not been in the section
long. Early last Sunday morning.
Blank saw him fly over the ranch
house and later saw hjm light In
a tree. Taking a ..3Q-.30 . rifle,
he shot the bird out of a tall
pine nt a distance of SO feet.
Blank thinks the eagle Is a mute

SECOND FALL AS
In his usual Krusean style, B4b
; Kniw, j Portland, defeated ChorBe
j Strack, Oklahoma, two out of three
falls in their finish heavyweight
wrestling match at .tho Armory
last , night, .when defeat seemed
certain The match was marked
with frequent kicking, slugging
and Occasional biting. , ;
Strack took the first fall with
a headlock and pintail In 19 min
utes, the crowd witnessing some
of the enatt roughness seen here
for sometime, both grapplers being
equally guilty.
A kick In the jaw and a slug in
the face resulted in a nosebleed for
Strack shortly before the first fall.
The Oklahoma man seemed "out"
before he sent Kruse sprawling to
the mat for a headlock for the
fall. , .
8track was unable to leave the
ring, blood was streaming from
his nose and he held onto the ropes
for support. Kruee sat on the
other side of the ring, also groggy.
A double hatnmerlock won Kruse
the .second fall when Referee Bay
Frlsbie awarded tho fall to the
Portland man. Strack protested
the - decision, claiming he had
made no signal that he was ready
to give up. t
The victim of seven or eight sue
cesslve head locks, it , appeared
Kruse was about to lose the third
fall, when he, euddenly pinned
iUrack for a fall. For once, the
crowd favored K ruse's victory, and
during the match he had more than
the usual support.
The special event showed Bay
Friable. Modford's wildcat, to good
advantage against t.abhy Brooks.
Seattle. Brooks weighed 200 1
pounds and was strong, buL lack
ed poed and science. He tried
flying tackles, hut Frlsbie side
stepped. Brooks attempted a lit
tle dirty work and threw Frlsbie
out of the ring twice. However.
the second time Brooks threw him
out. Frlsbie rushed back and
clamped on a flying body scissors,
pinning Brooks shoulders ot the
mat, tht only fall during the 30
minute match.
Frlsbie displayed some wonder
ful work and Medford fans are ex
pecting great things of him in the
future.
Plans had been made for a match
here next Wednesday, but the sup
port of fans last night was not as
good as expected, and now the
plans are indefinite, Herb Owen,
promoter, said lat r.thl.

featured players in Mark Twain's

Every boy in America who wants
to bo an actor can well envy Jackie
Coogan and Junior Durkin, for this
talented pair today sit on veritable
thrones of boydom.
They are Tom Sawyer and Huck
Finn, In Para mount's splendidly
faithful filmtKatlnn of Mark
Twain's immortal classic, "Tom
Sawyer," the main feature on the
bill at the Fox Craterlan theater
tomorrow nnd Saturday.
It is reasonable to suppose that
if a canvass of all boys In America
were taken to learn what roles they
would prefer to play on the" screen,
the answers would be overwhelm
ingly In favor of "Tom" and
"Huck."
For thero are no other charac
ters In fiction who better repre
sent the Ideals of boyhood than
these two.
According to some authorities on
literature. "Tom Sawyer" and
Huckleberry Finn" are tho most
widely-read books ever written.
Long before they had the good
fortune to he assigned to their
parts In the talkie, young Coogan
and young Durkin knew their fic
tional prototypes as well as they
knew the use of a knife and fork.
Jackie had read "Tom Sawyer"
five timrs. Junior had thrilled to
