APRIL 1. 1954 ' "fT AS p,ti ... .-w-"rr "r i7j ERIC PEDERSEN takes fumbls after being given a hard fight to the face from George Du sette. This action was caught just after Referee Buck Davidson awarded the deciding fall to Dusette on disqualification. Needless to say it didn't look like it made much difference to the French Canadian. Dusette Whips Pederson George Dusette won back a lot of prestige last night, that he bad lost in tne two previous wceics, by whipping Eric Pedersen in the main event ol the weekly wrestling program. Pedersen was working the French' Canadian over when Dusette booted him through the ropes and out of the ring. As the blond headed muscleman started to climb back, Dusette decided to work on him a little bit more. '. This proved to be disastrous. As Dusette moved in Pedersen, still outside the ropes, applied a full nelson which seemed to end Dusetle's chances right then and there. 1 KKFl'SED , When Pedersen. refused to obey referee Buck Davidson, and re lease the hold. the arbitrator awarded the second and deciding fall to Dusette, and then Is when tlio excitement started. Dusette was mad and didn't want the, disqualification.- Instead he literally worked The, Sneer over iroin pillar to post beiore Eric -could break tree and hurdle the ropes to satety. Tho first fail went to Dusette when ho caught Pedersen In his powerful full nelson and Mr, Muscles realized what he had got ten himself Into and gave up be fore he had another near broken neck. In tho first semi, popular Tom my Martlndale took a two out ol three full decision from Roy Wolf. Martlndalo won tho first fall on a disqualification and then returned to wrap up tho win with his lav orito rolling cradle, Ivan Kameroff used a few Ille gal tactics in the scoond semi wlndup to whip Bill Fletcher when Fletcher was unable to answer the bell niter Kameroff'a punishing ' tactics. MISTAKES Tim Russian took advantage of Fletcher's mistakes to post the win. .v Fletcher's trouble started when he missed a flying drop kick and injured his back. This set the stage lor Kamerofl, who worked Fletch er's back Into such a condition that he had to bn helped to the dressing room alter the match had been awarded to Kameroff. Kameroff was awarded the fall by using his Russian Bearhug. tEDHURD, Spots Pels Meet Cavmen In League Opener Dave D'OMvo and Garry Wil-1 the Invading Pelicans.
