Impossible, you say. H. G. Wells might be able an evening, but not poor John Q. Public, who has been indulging on occasions, when a flagging spirit moved him to the vicinity of a mat-covered ring. in a cross between a freak show and a Keystone comedy with sound. Friends, mine eyes have seen the glory of real rassling, the kind ‘of spirited en wary. of eal two male opponents which takes a man back to the days of his own manly prowess when his honor was at stake or the best looking girl in the class room was nearby. Remember, gentlemen, the grass stains, torn shirts and bruised and skinned elbows?

Seen at Decatur Central

THIS TYPE of essence of wrestling was wit- . nessed in the Decatur Central gym where the first annual Marion County wrestling tournament was ‘held. Tech, Shortridge, Southport, Broad Ripple and Decatur entered matmen. From 95 pounds to heavyweight, there was everything in thé evening's activities a man could ask for. '

Possibly a hard-nosed wrestling fan could come up-with- argument-that a little more science of wrestling would be desirable. I'm hot denying that, Some of the boys have little else than. the basic knowledge but man, oh, man, do they have the fight. Really, the wrestling, as I saw it, often could have passed for a pantomime of two dingsaurs mauling each other.

The wrestling prepsters, pint-sized to Kingsized, had but one thought as they stepped on either of the two mats in the gym. The thought was to win. Simple as that. Win. for my school, win for the team, for Dad, for Susie, for a T or § or-BR; makes no difference the ‘competitive spirit was often all out of proportion to the competitor. Gale (Whirlwind) Sparks of Tech is a good example of big spirit in small container. Gale, 95 pounds of dynamite, used exactly 34 seconds to pin Broad Ripple’s Bob Moyer.

On a signal from Referee Joe Roman, the two miniatures suddenly became a blur of spindly arms and legs. It looked for a moment as if a couple of white spiders were going at it tooth and nail inthe center of mat No. 1.

The ref was on his stomach looking under Bob's shoulders before the spectators really got focused on the boys. One slap on the mat and Gale was on

his feet shaking his opponent’s hand. ermal

A few minutes later I had an opportunity to have a few words with each boy. Bob, the loser, was unhappy and was still surprised how fast Gale could move. The winner, ravenously eating an orange and clutching a chocolate bar, dripped a couple drams of orange juice as he flashed a victory smile at the slightest provocation. I'll argue until Old Faithful freezes over that there's nothing eo compare with the amateur fighting spirit in sports,

Icebox Innards !

— value at a $3.00 SAVINGS while quantity lasts! By Robert C. Ruark Pre

NEW YORK, Feb. 12—Poking around in the refrigerator the other day, seeking something simple like an ice-cube or a can of condensed milk, I failed to find either. But I did emerfe from this Cain's warehouse of the domicile with the suspicion that we have overmatched ourselves in the construction of the modern fregze box. What we have done is create a chilly attic for the accommodation of everything we used to toss away. The New Yorker cartoon of the man peering into his refrigerator through a

periscope is no exaggeration. If you have mislaid the baby lately, hold inventory on the icebox. Chances are you will

find Junior, slightly frosted, curled behind one"half of the stuffed baked potato or a pot of facecream, " The current bride throws nothing away. She Ales it in the freezer. We have a separate, small - deep-freeze compartment in our gleaming igloo, originally designed for the manufacture of many ice-cubes for the master’s pleasure. We did better, actually, with the old two-tray job. The designated occupants of that frigid section have been crowded out. made into displaced persons by x -varietyof--foil-wrappedparcels— which are supposed to stay froze. I opened one of them, in a spirit of mild adventure, and it turned out to be a large parcel of bare bones. Probably been there six months.

-Old Enough to Remember

I AM"OLD enough to remember when you opened the icebox door, reached in, took out what

you wanted, slammed the door and forgot it. This.

is no longer possible. You must now be armed

with a storage chart, similar to the one chief mates use to supervise the discharge of cargo from a freighter’s fiumerous holds. . | It is necessary to dump the entire contents of a shelf onto the kitchen floor to withdraw one small pot of mayonnaise or a miniature vat of! pickled herring. ; ? i And the Pandora's box element of surprise is always ‘present—you never know what horrid revelation is going to fly out and. bite you on| the nose. ! There is a thing in my icebox, right now, wedged between the penicillin and the mouldy | cottage cheese. The thing is in a plastic dish. ] From its general appearance, I would say that! my pearl of inestimable price has taken up voodo, | and that the contents of that dish is a jellied consomme of the dried newts, batwings, garter-: snakes and high John the Conqueror powder she uses in her trade. !

Invoice of Icebox Innards

ALSO IN MY icebox right now is half-a-jar of peanut butter, 1/5 of a bottle of milk, six cokes, one dish of congealed grease, 3; jar pickled peaches, six foil-wrapped segments of Christmas ‘ruitcake, 12 jar horseradish, 1/5 jar grapejefly,| 2/5 jar sweet pickles, ohe pot mustard, 4 bottle! parmesan cheese, one vase herring, 2 slabs rat cheese, one can “snappy snacks,” one dish wilted grapes, 1/5 can hot peppers, one jar thousand island dressing, one beer-can half-full of cooking) fat, six beers, one plastic crock dogfood, one) dish decadent hash, one-half of a ham, two lve! artichokes, two dozen oranges, six grapefruit, assorted foil-wrapped mysteries and no ice cubes. There isn't room for ice cubes in the icebox. Naturally. And the thing, of course. Do you, suppose . . . ? Oh. No! oo { Tam very fond of a certain kind of undistinguished relish spread. I know we have some in the box, but I have sworn off it, because I am so - tired when I finally exhume it that I don’t want it any more. A man can be just as happy with a fifth-of-a-fifth of cooking sherry, a bottle of sunburn oil and a jar of green cherries, I always say. But I do yearn sometimes for the old dripping ice chest. It was kind of cramped, but at least you couldi find the butter without a search warrant.

He was a husky, almost beefy citizen, with a kewpie-doll tuft of hair in front, and with his fists he undoubtedly could have taken care of himself.
