Get Revenge On Unbeaten
Pair if Matf Italian
Stays On .Proper Side
With a highly capable and colorful
partner la Pete Belcastro, the Mad
Italian of Weed, Cai., sgt. bod Kenas
ton of Gold Hill takes hla third shot
at the unbeaten wrestling team
6ockeye Jack McDonald and Joe Brno.
llnski tonight In the Modford armory,
In his two previous attempts to
wallop the McDonald-Smollnskl tan
dera, Kenaston has wound up behind
the eight ball. But tonight, with the
lugging, crafty and villainous Bel
castro as his partner. Gold Hill's fa
vorite citizen figures to either have
a good, big lost laugh or come so
close It wan t be funny to the husky
and brutal duo.
The mat program, believed by Pro
moter Mock Hilar d to be the bent
he has lined up this season, starts
at 8:30 sharp in the armory. For the
pa.it three weeks tho grunt and
groaners have performed at the open-
air high school arena, but move back
under cover tonight because of cold
sights.
Opening the grapple fiesta will be
Bobby Chick, ex-llght heavyweight
champion of tho world and Benny
Wilson, drop kick specialist from Tox
as, They will clash In an Australian
yfltem match consisting of six 10
minute rounds or the best two out
of three falls. This Is expected to de
velop Into . sparkling exhibition of
wrestling as it was originally de
signed. Both are clean and scientific
Feature attraction on tho program
the team battle, will progress until
one outfit obtains four falls, or un
til the hour time-limit halts pro
ceedings. In the only two othe
like squabbles held here, the thing
lasted far short of the tlme-llmlt,
and tonight's shindig Is expected to
be no exception. With four huge
grapplers In the ring at the some
time, bent on destroying each other
at the earliest possible moment, there
Is little likelihood of any surviving
an hour.
Although Kenaston, thirsting for
revenge, Is overjoyed at the prospect
of at least being assigned a partner
who can Btay In there and dish out
the dirt along with McDonald and
Smolinski, many local fans are won
deiing whether Sgt. Bob will be so
happy once the bout gets under way.
They admit that Belcastro could be
an excellent partner for Kenaston tf
he wished, but they are rather du
bious regarding whether Pete will
wish or not.
Belcastro baa the reputation of
disliking all other wrestlers, and
whother he will condescend to work
In harmony with Kenaston Is a mat
ter of grave conjecture among the
Oold HUler's friends. It wouldn't sur
prise them a bit If Pete, In the heat
of battle, reverted to type and wen;
plumb looney, slashing out at any
foreign object that come within his
reach and taking round-house punch
s at his own partner In crime. If
such a situation occurs, Bob's friends
point out, Kenaston will again be ot
a disadvantage. However, they are
hoping for the best and praying that
Pete docsnt decide to dobule-cross
anybody.
