Noticeably in the first half Leven's outrustled and outrushed the champions, but the red-jersied cagers just could not stuif the sphere through the hoop. Time and time again the ball dipped into the ring, then bounded back out Into the waiting hands of Firmage players. This was disheartening dis-heartening tothe Leven's players, and served to gradually cool their spirit in the later stages of the game. ' A slick floor which had been groomed for dancing rather than oasketball slowed up both teams considerably. There were numerous numer-ous spills, and the players naturally natur-ally tumbled many times as they lost their feet.

In the eyes of Ro-She fans, however, how-ever, he is a very unpopular champ -one who resorted to questionable tactics in withholding his diamond-studded diamond-studded belt from the reach of the challenging Thompson. Kunkel refused to wrestle against Thompson, but chose to play the role of the villain. He slugged and pulled hair until every spectator in the house was rooting for the cause of justice and Thompson. Kunkel Pokes Referee-After Referee-After 18 minutes had elapsed, Kunkel choked Thompson to the mat, and dropped upon his victim with all the force of his 195 pounds. Referee Floyd Hansen saw the choke-ho4d and attempted to pull Kunkel off. The champ was exceedingly irritated at this move, so took a couple of pokes at Hansen's jaw. Thompson, who had become revived by this time, came to the referee's rescue. The latter disqualified Kunkel, award ing the fall to the challenger. After 20 minutes of rough work in the second chucker, Kunkel forced Thompson to give up when he applied a stepover toehold. Even after the referee had awaru-ed awaru-ed him the fall, Kunkel kept on twisting Thompson's foot, finally jerking his leg out of joint. Referee Refe-ree Hansen then assyed to disqualify dis-qualify Kunkel, but Thompson said he didn't want the title unless un-less he could win it by superior wrestling. So the bout ended, with Kunkel retaining the championship champion-ship and Thompson nursing a badly-twisted leg. Hagar Ls Victor The semi-windup between Kenny Ken-ny Mayne and Hex Hagar stole the show. These fellows put on a real exhibition of clean wrestling. Mayne won the first fall in 9 minutes with a cradle hold, but Hagar came back to annex the second two falls. He first made Mayne give up with an Indian deathlock, then tucked away the victory by using a dropkick after 5 minutes. ' The boxing headliner proved a Win a 5 -Suit Wardrobe!
