A bitter wrestling rivalry will be
continued Monday night when Pro
fessor Roy Shire collides with
Cowboy Carlson, in the Pampa
ring.
The mutual hatred has been built
up more in tag team matches than
in man-to-man combats, but it’s
there, and it's apt to blossom into a
rugggd fracas at the Top O' Texas
Sportsmen’s Club.
Shire, the former professor of
physical education at Northwestern
University and still a resident of
Evanston, III., and Carlson, the
Ekalaka, Mont., cowboy who em-
ploys numerous rodeo tricks to gain
his points in wrestling, go for two
best falls of three or one hour on
the weekly Shrine Club sponsored
card.
Two ewcomers to the territory,
Karl Gray of Milwaukee, and Cris
Belkas. Boston, make their debuts
in the Pampa arena Monday night.
It will mark the first appearance
of Belkas in the Southwest States
area for some four years. This is
also Gray’s first tour of duty in
these parts.
Belkas, famous for his strong-
man feats as well for his rugged
wrestling, and Gray are slated for
the semi-final match, two best falls
of three or 45 minutes.
Also back in the West Texas-New
Mexico-Oklahoma wrestling terri-
tory is handsome Jim LaRock, lea-
der of U.S. Olympic team in 1952
and a finalist in his weight divi-
sion. LaRock, from Ithaca. N. Y.,
made quite a hit with mat fans last
summer, only two years after turn-
ing professional, and is reported to
be improved more than somewhat
after nearly a year of campaign-
ing in other sectors.

While the bent-leg slide isn’t used as often as the hook or -NR
sway,” some of the best base runners in baseball use it frequ—ttr.
Jackie Jefisen, one of the most effective base stealers in the majors
is expert at the bent-leg slide, and George SUmweias used It oftea
when he was setting the base-stealing pace for the New York
