Superstitious Savoldi THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, _WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 19338 _- Doubts He Will Ever Hold Mat Title Long FORMER FOOTBALL [VINCE DUNDEE IS CHAMPION AFTER 10 SEASONS OF PATIENCE . STAR BORN UNDER AN“UNLUCKY STAR’! Jumping Joe, Who Turned Into Giant; Near Death Short- ly After Birth HAD SEVERAL BAD BREAKS ! | Record At Notre Dame Entitles; Him to All-Time Grid | Consideration New York, Nov. 8—If Joe Savoldi, the fourth oak of Three Oaks, Mich., is ever holder of the undisputed heavyweight wrestling title, it’s the jumpin’ guy's opinion that it won't be his very long. For there's that un- lucky Milano star still haunting his tate. The former Notre Dame fullback. who now grunts and groans loudly on the mat, is reluctant to discuss that star. But the story was pulled from him here after one of his recent matches. Fate decreed that he should be born in Milano, Italy, 24 years ago. His father and mother, both natives of Italy, were residing in Three Oaks. Mich., when they received a cable to rush back to Italy. Joc’s grandfather ‘was dying from knife wounds inflict- ed by bandits. The Savoldis arrived a week be- fore Joe's grandfather died. Two hours before the end, Joe was born. An unlucky star, indeed! Joe weighed three and one-half pounds. He was 0 frail that the doctors would not al- Jow him to return to America with his parents. They said he never would live to make the trip. x * * Relatives nursed Joe. Following the plows and the harvesters gave him ‘strength. When he was seven, his par- ents returned to Italy to take him home. But Joe contracted whooping cough. Port officials refused to pass him, and for the second time the Sa- Yoldis crossed the sea without Joe. Not until he was 12 years old did Joe touch American shores. Then, for the first time, he met his brother and sister, who had been born in Three Oaks. He couldn't speak, read or write 2 word of English. Through high school and then to Notre Dame went Joe. The three and one-half-pound baby grew into a 215- pound giant; the tiny, feeble babe) became a gloriously chiseled physical model. Summers he worked in an fron foundry. Jumpin’ Joe played 14 games of in- tercollegiate football for Notre Dame, eight as a sophomore in 1929 and six Qs a junior in 1930. In the middle of his junior year, just as he was reach- ing the peak of his career, Joe's un- lucky star again caught up with him. | He was expelled for his secret mar-/ rage. In the 14 games Joe played fullback, Knute Rockne’s Fightin’ Irish won all. ; To that end, he scored 17 touchdowns for 102 points, nine in 1929 and eight} In 1930. Joe scored in every game he| played but three: Army and Navy in 1929 and Carnegie Tech in 1930. He gained revenge against the Navy in '30 by scoring three touchdowns. Hav- | ing scored the only touchdown that/ defeated Carnegie Tech, 7-0, in '29, Joe | had no hard feelings against the Tar-| tans. He was expelled before he could ‘ace the Army a second time. xe * | Savoldi’s real football greatness) never will be known. His terrific line, plunging in the 14 games he played| stamped him as likely all-time All-! America. | His strength, speed and stamina} ‘were taken to the wrestling game two | years ago. Today Joc stands second) only to Jimmy Londos as a national drawing card. What's more, he is the only grappler to score a victory over Londos in the last three and one-half years that the Athenian Apollo has tlaimed the world title. Savoldi’s amazing victory over Lon- dos, achieved in one fall at Chicago) several months ago, stirred a national argument as to its merits. Every great wrestler must be iden- tified by a single sensation hold, such as Frank Gotch and his toe-hold, Joe Btecher and his body scissors, Strang- Jer Lewis and his headlock, Ev Mar- phall and his airplane spin, Gus Son- nenberg and his billy-goat butt, and Jim Browning and his airplane scis- sors. Savoldi's pride and joy is his ¥lying dropkick. i Although he never kicked a ball at §Notre Dame, a punt or a goal, a drop/ or a placement. Joe now kicks his 0] ponents to defeat. Both toes carry dynamite as he hurls both legs at his ival, usually connecting with the o) ponents chin, feet first, to knock him! unconscious or so groggy that he is fn. easy victim for a pinning hold. Joe had All-America glory within p . . . but lost it. He had championship in the palm of Mill City Lightweight Beats Rockford Battler Sioux Falls, 8.

First as a welterweight and from 1930 on as a middleweight, Dundee jhas been meeting all comers, gaining jthe cognomen of “uncrowned cham-' Pion” of the latter sector. But not until he outpointed Brouillard was he accorded any official recognition.’ Brouillard, by virtue of his trounc- ing Ben Jeby last summer, was call-: lea champion by the New York state boxing czars and a few other groups, while Marcel Thil of France is Tecog- | nized as titlist by the National Box-) ing association.

When Vince beat Brouillard, it marked the first time brothers ever | ‘had become champions. Max Wax-' man managed brother Joe, just as, he now handles Vince. | In 1930, Vince veered into the mid-) dleweight ranks because of increas- ing weight and the paucity of welter; foes. He immediately challenged Mickey Walker, then 160-pound title; holder, but the Jersey Bulldog left} the division for heavier opponents be- fore the bout materialized. Then Madison Square Garden im- ported Len Harvey, British and Eu- ropean champion, and in January. 931, Dundee defeated him in a great round fight, later repeating in an- other 12-rounder. After each scrap Waxman claimed the crown, but re- ceived no official part of it. Said He Was ‘Through’ Dundee continued to mow down the middleweight challengers, in-/ cluding Ben Jeby and Young Terry of Trenton. Later Jeby gained recognition by New York as titlist and again Dundee faced him, losing the title when the official verdict was @ draw. Then Dundee met Teddy Yarosz of | Pittsburgh. a newcomer to the front ranks, and lost twice, once in Pitts-; burgh and again in Newark. From the “inside” came word Vince was through. But Waxman immediately, angled for a Brouillard match. The result is Dundee's first championship recognition, and whole-hearted ac- calim in the Italian section of Ne- wark where he makes his home. He moved here from Baltimore in 1928 and has been the fight fans’ idol ever since. especially since his marriage in 1929 to the sister of Al Rossi, another middleweight boxer. ‘They have a son two years old. | eee ETP Fay | Around the Big Ten | setlist (By The Associated Press) Snow and cold weather drove most of the teams indoors Tuesday...
