A nard-drlven Vanderbilt team. saved time and again by the bril-JJ liant defensive play of Capt. Hin-. kle at center and Raymond Andrus at back, was leading Alabama, 7 to 6.

From the moment he makes hi appearance in the aisle coming down to the ring, he specialize in thing that will catch the eye of the spectator. He dresses in a turban, and a Turkish robe. And hi entry into the ring is something to behold. Crawling through the rope, he squats in a corner, arm folded, much after the fashion of Chinese Mikado. More often than not he wrestles bare-footed.

And his shiny bald-head and handlebar mustache lend themselves to showmanship. It was because of this that Ali Baba was sought as an opponent for Londos when Jim decided to launch another tour of the American mats. Ali is rated one of the strongest of the present day wrestlers and Londos likes nothing better than to conquer strong men. The Terrible Turk wa just as anxious to show his wares against the Gorgeous Greek. For according to Ali.

Jim Isn't strong enough to lift him and twirl him about in his famous airplane spin. Since he last appeared on a Detroit mat, Londos has toured the world, wrestling the best men available in each country. And on the crest of thia triumphal tour he is riding along as the Inter national champion. It is this title he will risk against Ali Baba in the show that marks the return of Nick Londos to the wrestling promotion field. Four other bouts are on the program.

In the first of these. Dean Rockwell, of Ypsilantl, meets Mike Ribbons, of Columbus, in a one fall match with a time limit of 30 minutes. In the second Ojager Toosaa, of India, opposes Whitey Govro, of Minneapolis in a one fall bout with a half hour time limit. The same conditions apply for the other two preliminaries in which Bobby Bruns, of Northwestern University, meets Lou Sun Jennings. Oklahoma Indian, and Dorve Roche, of St.

And while it wa I'ettinger who stood out. it wa the fire and dash of Aurie that brought joy to Jack Adams and lot of other who had begun to wonder if the Little Guy perhap had sarted on the downward trail. Aurie showed them that he waa till the Little Guy with the heart as big a Pucko McDonald appetite. In fact, the whole Red Wing marhine began to click with Aurie.

With all this in front of him, one naturally would Imagine that Manager Adams would have been a happy gentleman last night. But Mr. Alama wasn't. He never ha been ao upset in all hi life. The reason for Mr.

Adams' emotional atate wa the refereeing Usually Mr. Adam or any other manager forget the refereeing after auch a victory. No aonner had the gong ended the game than the portly frame of Adam ram tearing across the ice in pursuit of Johnny Mitchell. "You hnd out 14 penaltie and then grin at a deliberate tripping of 8yd Howe when he wa about to make a goal." Mr. Adam shrieked as the happy apeetators remained in their seata to mtrh Parta of the above version of Mr.

Adams' shriek have been deleted. Tenalty Rot; Jammed Mr. Adams' reference to 14 penalties a accurate. There were exactly that many handed out and a the end of the aecond period neared there were exactly a half-doen. three Red Wing and three Hawk, jammed into the penalty box, all of them glaring at each other when they were not shouting uncomplimentary remarks at the referees.

At one period it began to look a though there aoon would be more referee on the ice than hockey players. The wholesale banishment began quite mildly when Scotty Bowman, who has been full of fight since the start of the season, and Roger Jenkins started to high stick eacn other. They no sooner had reached the penalty box than Young and Paul Thompson crashed Into each other with such force that they both lost their stick and then roughed each other as they tried to recover them.

Edgar The two extreme of wrestling will be brought together Friday night at Olympia when Jim Lon-do. making his first appearance here in almost two years, come to grips with Ali Baba, the Terrible Turk. Londos, one of the most serious competitor in a sport that haa been built up by the laughs it create, is a strict conformist to old world wTestling.
