By Ml'RRAY OLDERMAM
- NEA Staff Correspondent
NEW YORK (NEA) The
vogue in wrestlers changes just
like the length of women's skirts
Last sep.son it was Evil-Eye
Ivan, Montmorency the Mad,
Baron Alexis von Kartoffel and
Delicious Donald who were palpi
tating the customers. The ginv
mick was the thing, whether mar
celled locks or a dainty perfume
epray.
This season the stage is set for
the likes of Homespun Herman,
Just Plain Joe and Honest Ernest,
"The freak is passing out of
wrestling." says Verne Gagne, a
handsome cauliflower out of Min
neapolis who belongs to the latter
school.
Gorgeous George is in semi-
retirement Homehwere in the
West, counting his turkeys; Gene
Stanlee, Mr. All-America, spends
most of his time tending bar.
STRAIGHT
Gagne makes better than $100,
000 a year playing it straight
well, fairly so.
The day of the villain is in
limbo. Now wrestling fans 55
per cent ot them women go lor
the brawny, handsome hero.
World champion Lou Thesz and
American litlist Gagne are a
couple of prime examples.
None of the other big men in
the trade, the ones who gross bet
ter than $50,000 annually, depend
on butlers or frilled trappings to
ply tneir business. Hans Schmidt,
Wladek Kowalski, Pat O'Connor,
Ray Gunkel, The Mighty Atlas,
even Antonino Rocca keep their
hair to a respectable trim.
Does that mean we can look for
a return to the Greco-Roman school
of tugging for five hours at a time?
Hardlv.
FURIOUS
"I could take care of Stanis
slaus Zbyszko in 10 seconds," in
sists Gagne. "What people go for
is fast, furious action, and we've
achieved this through a complete
relaxation ot the rules."
That could mean getting hit over
the head with a chair one night or
ducking a beer bottle the next, as
has happened to Gagne. One night
in Denver a gentle little old lady
irately whacked him on the skull
with her purse, and in Springfield,
Mo., he was in the vortex of a
tornado-like riot with drawn knives.
"It's a rough game because pro
moters want it that way," says
Gngne. "It makes money with
our blood, of course.
DEAD
"So you think wrestlers don't get
hurt. How about the guy who lay
dead in a ring in Washington while
the fans hollered, 'Fake'? Fellows
like scnmidt and Kowalski are
brutal. Schmidt kicked out Jour
of my front teeth. Another time he
dislocated one of my ribs. I was
helpless, and he could have
pinned me easily if he'd known it.
Instead, he gave me a body slam.
and the rib- jumped back into
place."
Gngne's itinerary might find
him in Omaha on Monday, Des
Moines on Tuesday, Denver
Wednesday, Syracuse Thursday
and in Newark, N.J., on Friday.
Every week-end he flies home to
Mrs. Gagne and the four kids at
Excelsior, a Minneapolis suburb.
Last yenr he wrestled 268 times,
won 268. In 1953 he's undefeated
in more than 150 bouts.
What does he do when he's home
weekends?
He plays sandlot football with
the boys in the neighborhood.

Santee Runs
4:04.2 Mile
NEW ORLEANS Hope for a
four-minute mile was brighter to
day after Wes Santee of Kansas
turned in a record 4:04.2 in the
Sugar Bowl Track Meet the third
fastest mile ever run by an
American.
Santee, holder of the American
record of 4:02.4, flashed through a
phenomenal 55-second final quar
ter yesterday to break the 15-year-old
Sugar Bowl mark of 4:07.7,
set by Glenn Cunningham of Kan
sas in 1S38.
Tile slender Santee, who set the
new standard over a damp track,
said after the race he wasn't shoot
ing for the four-minute mile, al
though a slip on a wet spot may
possibly have cost him two tsec
onds, "I was Just trying to break Cun
ningham's mark," he said. "I
wasn't even thinking of trying to
break four minutes."
Santee took over the lead just
after the field crossed the line at
the finish of the third lap. His
time in the final lap was slightly
sensational in view of the times
turned in on the first three quar
ters. With Bruce Drummond of
Oklahoma University and Charley
Capozzoli of Georgetown alterna
ting in the lead, the field did the
first lap in 60 seconds, the second
in 62 and the third In 65.

Michigan State's Spartans ruled
a touchdown iavorile over UCLA
in the latest edition of the Big Ten
Pacific Coast Conference battle,
which the Midwesterners have won
six out of seven times.
UCLA, owner of one of Uie best
defensive records in the country,
faced a Pasadena jinx that has
found it on the losing end of two
previous appearances (9-0 to Geor
gia, 1913, and 45-14 to Illinois,
1947).
The Bruins have classy All
America single wing tailback Pjiui
Cameron and Michigan State has
All America end Don Dohoney
but the prcgame word was that
MSC's quarterback Tom Ycwcic
and hard-running halfback Leroy
Bolden were the men to watch.
SCREENS
The Spartans may take a page
from the University of Michignn
book to spring screen passes which
were dynamite for the Wolverines
in 1048 (49-0 over USC) and 1951
(14-6 over California). State used
the same weapon to turn defeat
into victory against Texas Christ
ian early this season.
Certainly aerial defense proved
the Bruins' biggest weakness this
year, with Stanford, paced by pas-
sing-, ace Bobby Garrett, handing
them their only defeat.
Passing appeared to be vital for
favored Georgia Tech and under
dog Alabama too.
The T-formation Engineers, go
ing against the heavier, split-T
powered West Virginians, were ex
pected to try to run to the out
side or go overhead -to avoid the
beefy Mountaineer middle.
VETERAN
Injury-riddled 'Bama, a bowl
veteran, counted heavily on the
passing of quarterback Bart Starr
to try to handle Rice s ground
forces, paced by All America full
back Kosse Johnson and speedster
Dickey Moegle operating behind a
powerful line.
In other games Mississippi
Southern met Texas Western in
the Sun Bowl, La Crosse (Wis.)
State met Missouri Valley in the
Cigar Bowl, Arkansas State met

At St. Paul, Gustavus Adolphus'

championship of the first annual
St. Paul Invitational Tournament.

winners meet tonight in one of the
two semifinals. Maryland takes on

other.
In other games, Notre Dame
pulled ahead in the final three min
utes to hand Northwestern a 52-50
defeat, the first home loss for the
Wildcats this season. Michigan
brought its record to 5-2 with a
76-68 triumph over Marquette, and
UCLA defeated Michigan State
67-57.
In the consolation games of the
All-College Tournament, Oklahoma

Gallardo,

Rematch
By JACK HAND
NEW YORK Ifl The fight to
night is Davey Gallardo - Lulu
Perez from the Madison Square
Garden studio, a rematch of a re
match between two busy little
featherweights.
Radio-TV viewers can catch the
show at 10 p.m., EST, on NBC-TV
or ABC-radio.
The International Boxing Club
hopes enough fans will be attracted
by the novelty' of the first Jan. 1
fight in Garden history to make a
passable gate.
Pcrei won the first match .of
this three-bount series because
Gallardo suffered a deep eye cut
that required two stitches. Gallardo
came baok to win No. 2, knocking
down Perez twice in the fourth
round. Perez was 4-1 in the first
bout and 17-5 in the second.
The betting people are sticking
with Perez as an 8-5 choice in No.
3 although the past performance
charts show Lulu is a risky favor
ite.
With Sandy Saddler, the feather
weight champion, due to get out of
the Army in the spring and aching
for action, this meeting of Gallar
do, No. 5 challenger, and Perez,
No. 9 behind Sandy, could be im
portant. Saddler, incidentally, is
