TliUliDERBIRD FACES LARUE THURSDAY III PRELIM AT LAUER'S Kay and Demetroff Also Signed for Half Hour Grappling Bout Chief rl rti 1 rl wWfiil Sannlch Indian from Voncouver island, returns to meet "Frenchy" LaRue, bald pated French Canadian, in a half hour nrelimlnnrv bout on the Jake Patterson Orville Brown mat card at Lauer's Park. Thursday night, it was announced yesterday by Promoter "Bart." Bertolinl. The wlndup is a return anair. Rudy Kay, a tough youngster from Chicago, is slated to meet Boris Demetroff, of Boston, over the half hour route, while Prince Bhu Plnder, sensational Hindu, clashes with Ivan Vacturoff and Freddie Grubmler, Iowa scissors expert, encounters Bobby Bruns. German American youth.

Bruns and Grubmler will meet in the semi final and should ware a thrill packed tiff from start to finish. Both grapplers very rarely over step the rules and depend on orthodox wrestling holds to emerge triumphant. The Bruns Grubmier encounter is expected to suddIv a large share of the evening's thrills. Patterson Loses Out Patterson, who proved himself one of the roughest grapplers ever to perform on a local mat, more than held his own with Brown until Orville slammed him to the floor while the two were mixing punches out of the ring. Patterson staggered the highly touted Kansan repeatedly with vicious fore arm blows to the head and body.

"Brown should have been dis qualified," said Patterson in his dressing room after the match, "I always thought you had to pin a man in the ring. He had no right to slam me to the floor. The referee should have given me a rest and let the two of us continue wrest ling." Patterson eagerly accepted terms to meet Brown in a return match and the two were originally scheduled to grapple here Tuesday night. Brown, however, asked for more time to train and Bertolinl was forced to put the show back two days.
