Show PAGE SIX PROVO (UTAH) EVENING HERALD, TUESDAY, JANUARY IB, 1936 McCann Beats Swede I In Exciting Match Lawson and McCann Stage Spectacular Bout At Ro-She; Hansen Bests Park and Dennison Decisions Palmer BY !. R. TAULSON After the smoke had rolled away from the wildest, most spectacular battle that has been staged at Park Ro-She arena, the squat figure fig-ure of Wildcat Alley Oop McCann once more arose as the "victor. But it was the toughest brawl McCann has had, with Swede Law-son, Law-son, who once was the biggest moaner in the business, transformed trans-formed into a raging battler. Half a dozen times Swede hurled himi self across the ring in an attempt at a flying scissors which ended up four times with Lawson crashing crash-ing onto the floor below. Lawson won the first fall with a triple Sonnenberg butt that had all the ferocity of a mating billy goat, then McCann came back to take the second with a clever toe hold after breaking Swede's punishing pun-ishing scissors. The third fall came unexpectedly unexpected-ly after McCann had applied a couple of wristlocks which Law-son Law-son twisted out of. Henry Jones, the busy referee, was on bis knees batting McCann's hand away from his favorite hold, a firm grasp of Swede's blond hair. McCann reached reach-ed over and pulled Jones' sweater down over his head, effectively sacking up the referee for a moment. mo-ment. Then with a neat twist he flipped Lawson onto his shoulders as Jones got out of his blindfold in time to award the fall and the match to McCann. Wild Brawl But the end was not yet lettering letter-ing a few well chosen and colorful words, Lawson smashed McCann to the canvas with a left hook. Jones leaped on Lawson and the enraged Swede floored the referee with a right uppercut and the T ON'H have !een the yowi sent? on high by yammering promoters pro-moters and various boxing commissions' commis-sions' decrying Max Baer's knockout knock-out of Kingfish Levinsky in that four-round exhibition in Chiraeu.

U. fight was on. Finally Jones got the upper hand and sent the boys off to the dressing room. It was an exciting contest from the opening bell. Four limes the top rope of the ring was broken down as the two gladiators went at it. Tossing each other out of the ring was one of the playful pastimes and Jones was kept busy tearing them apart outside the ropes, pulling McCann's hands away from Lawson's hair and breaking the choke holds. The boys really mixed in a bit of wrestling with the rest of it also, McCann counting heavily with wristlocks, arm bars and head-locks head-locks and Lawson retaliating with headlocks, Sonnenbergs, a double hammerlock, flying scissors and many others. All three men went over the ropes at one time during dur-ing the first round. Swede effectually ef-fectually warded off some well-meant well-meant step-over toeholds and crab holds tried by the wild little tussler. Floyd Hansen, Salt Lake City, bested Dean Park of Orem in u two-fall match whicn served as a semi-windup and brought out some interesting wrestling. Park won the first fall with a body slam and a reverse body hold in 11'- minutes then Hansen came back to win the match by throwing throw-ing Park out of the ring and onto his back. Park injured his back in the- fall out of the ring and was forced to concede the match. Park appeared to be stronger and more versatile as the bout started, tossing Hansen about the ring and applying some effective rojjing arm bars. The bout was fast and spicedwith several Son-nebergs Son-nebergs and body slams.

Palmer got in his hardest blow in the second round when he snapped Den Hiss's head back with a jolting right.

HOUSE SNT As NrXPKINi V-VE THAT ill lit , i i f i r ii mi ryvi i ' KJF-tf mrnviwttN a m a i Turpin Shines In Practice; Await Bobcats Cougar Reserve Forward Certain Cer-tain To See Action Despite Brilliance of Giles. Although Earl Giles just now has the inside track for the disputed dis-puted forward position in the B. Y. U. -Montana Bobcat basketball steries Friday and Saturday, the showing of Marlow Turpin Monday Mon-day night in a game with the Jun ior Varsity indicated tnat mrpin will see plenty of action in the games with the tough Bobcats. The varsity reserves defeated the Junior Varsity team Monday, 67 to 51, in a brilliant exhibition, while the five men who played most of the game against Utah Saturday, rested. In addition to the speedy Turpin, .Walter Lyons, forward, and Gus Black, guard, looked exceptionally good. It is likely that Wayne Millet, fast-improving guard, will start at the one guard post opposite Captain Cap-tain Jay Whitman, although "Tar-zan" "Tar-zan" Brooks is certain not to be a 40-minute bench warmer. Coach Ott Romney is well pleased with the work and the improvement of Brooks, and the black-haired, gleaming-eyed husky is sure to see a lot of action. Giles stamped himself as a "money" player in the Utah series. Fast, and dependable at the basket, Giles scored well enough in the Utah series to win a tie for the scoring leadership of the division di-vision with 33 points. His running run-ning mate. Ralph C"-owton, also showed ability at the hoop under lire, caging 22 points in the series despite "the persistent guarding to which he was subjected. After the scare handed to the Cougars by Utah Saturday night, when the "Y" team slumped slightly after a brilliant game Friday, Fri-day, the defending champions will take no chances with the Montana outfit. The Cougars conclude that if Montana could make such a brilliant showing against the Utah Aggies with a crippled team, then they are all the school is claiming of them. They are held to be the "Best Bobcat Team Since 1929." And that, friends of radioland, is somp'n. Comic Operetta !

' The Telluride team took an 8-6 lead at the first quarter which was stretched to 16-8 at the half, mostly as the result of Peay's accuracy at the hoop. Guarding closely in the third period the Valves almost overtook the leaders, lead-ers, the third quarter score ending 18-17 in favor of the -Telluride. In the last period it was a hammer and tongs fight, with Weight. Harward and Eggertsen carrying the brunt of the scoring for the Valves and Collins and iiooth keeping the Telluride slightly ahead. Another thriller was the victory of the "Y" Freshmen over the Taylor Brothers team, 42-41. The "Y " team, behind 11 points at the end of the third period, overcame the lead and blazed through to a spectacular one-point victory, with LaVar Kump, heady-exforward of Provo high school, leading the at tack. Kump poured in 1.3 points in the last half, while teammates Soffe and Levi Hunt also boosted the score. ' Stephens, Dixon and Rowe did some brilliant scoring for Taylor Tay-lor Brothers in the first half but their attack bogged down somewhat some-what in the second half as the "Y" onslaught gathered force. Bob's Billiards took a 40 to 32 decision over the C. C. C. Ramblers by going into a 25-21 lead at the halftime then hanging onto it through a hard-fought second half, which was marked by close guarding. guard-ing.
