THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE, MONDAY, DEC. 6, 1937 AMATEUR CROWN WILL COME OUT _ OF FIRST MATCH Winner lel De(er(l Ixtle From All Future ‘ Comers An amateur champi P Ccrow for Southeast Alaska wréstlers — that is what is planned to rise frcm the curtain lifting mateh on next Saturday’s “rasslin’” card slated to begin at 7:30 in the evcning at they ANB hall. Two Juneau boys will g:: the first mdtch of the eva . the winner will' take ail thenceforth in coming s s, and will refain (. only as long as he remains u.ouc= feated. The participants in the first of these matches will be named later In the headline event, “Big Bill” Byington will come out of his cor- ner drop-kicking or with a flying tackle—or perhaps a line buck. “Big Bad Bill” was once a captain of an| Oregon State football team. “Doc” Webb says he isn't worry- ing about Oregon football tackles— he simply says he is the “original eye, ear, nose and throat specialist,” which all adds up to a candid con-! fession that “Doc” likes to rough | it, i Bill Walthers will protect his Ju- | neau honors against the middle-]| weight champion of Old Mexlc0| Walter Gaston, who is still defend- | ing his title: Walthers has plenty of | speed and a variety of holds, but the Old Mexico muscle bender has' a lot of experience. This should be a good match. Pretzel twisters Bob Bryant und' Jerry Fincher are the boys who are apt to steal the show, however. Bry-i ant has seen his share of ear biting ayl hammerlocking and Pincher | Fincher has garnered mat burns! under a lot of promoters since he| won the Junior Middleweight Crown | of the University of California. It should be a good grunt and groan card fror¢ the first half-| Nelson to the last airplane spin. D e “DousLAS | | NEWS | D.,.W.C.
