If Estes pulls the same type of mat wizardry that he flashed last week In whipping Pete Belcoatro, coast Junior heavyweight champion, the Canadian strongman will at leaat have a busy evening. The clean-cut Honolulu chap will 'be outweighed 10 or 30 pounds by the northerner, but figures thf.t lie cen make up the dif ference by using some of the freak holds with which he wowed the popu lace last week, such as his spectacu lar slingshot flying tackle.

I was able to walk out through a hole In the wall Into about three or four feet of water filled with floating tim bers and debris. The wind was about 50 or 60 miles an hour and carried flying timbers that caused most of the casualties. "When we found the water still risk ing, we mado our way to the rail road track. We dug holes into the earth under the cross ties so we could protect our heads from the flying de bris. This was the only way we could keep our brains from being crushed out. We stayed on the ralroad track until 3 a. m. (Tuesday) as that was the only place above the water. "At daybreak Tuesday, we found a tank car full of water which offered refuge."
