Montana, Pasha

An overflow crowd of 3700 saw Bull Montana, 198, Los Angeles, and All Pasha, 105, Columbus, O., take two falls out of three to win the tag-team feature on last night's

wrestling program at the Armory Their victims were Buddy Knox, 196, Tulsa, Okla., and the Mystery Man, 198. The Mystery Man pinned Montana in 15 minutes, using a double reversé and armlock, to take the first fall, but the eventual winners conquered in the next two sessions. Employing a body slam, Montana felled Knox in 13 minutes, and then Pasha, with a cobra hold, put Knox to the canvas in nine min-| utes. In the opener, Gordon Hessel, 190, Chicago, downed Rene La Belle, 188, Toronto, Canada, in 26 minutes. He used a drop kick to turn the trick. College Baseball Indiana vs. Canterbury (rain).
