Show GEO. Ml ISSUES S GBHiflKETOVBSER - WH1CHISAGGEPTED Arrangements for a wrestling bout between Pete Yisser of Ogden and George Nelson of Preston, Ida , were virtually completed today, according to W. L. Roe, Jr., of Preston. Mr. Roe is Nelson's manager and came to Ogden last night to witness the Visser-Romanoff bout and to extend the former Salt Lake fireman's challenge chal-lenge to the winner. Mr. Roe is manager of the Franklin Frank-lin County Citizen of Preston, one of the most progressive newspapers of southern Idaho, and through his interest in-terest in athletics was instrumental in persuading Nelson to leave Salt Lake City and locate at Preston. At the present time, Nelson is manager and instructor at the Preston gymnasium gym-nasium and is keeping in constant training for wrestling bouts when an opportunity to meet a high class man is offered. According to Mr. Roe, his protege has been keeping close track of Peto Visser's work and, when the latter closed his agreemet for tho bout with Romanoff, decided that a match with the winner of that argument would be well worth his attention. Nelson is also looking for a match with Joe Stecher and his manager Is of tho opinion that the winner of the prospective pros-pective Nelson-Visser match will have a good chance to meet the strong easterner. There is little question of Nelson's class as a wrestler and with Visser's firmly established through his victory over Romanoff, a match between the two should awaken wide interest. |
