'Piece of cake'

Golden keeps his title belt

By DAVE STRAUB Sports Editor “It was a piece of cake, just like I said before the match,” shouted Sergeant Bobby Golden; He had just defeated Brian Costello for the International Wrestling Organization’s world title Tuesday night at the Milford Junior High School gym. “He said he would hurt me bad,” added the champ. “But Costello was bloodier than me. When things got too rough for him, he chases this female (Golden’s blonde girlfriend, Cherie) around the ring. Even a * whimp can beat up a female. I guess that proves he’s a whimp and I proved he was a whimp — again. “I came in here with this belt,” said Golden as he hoisted it over his head. “And I am leaving here with this belt.” Many blood thirsty fans left satisfied after five professional wrestling matches. They even got involved. During the title tilt, the fans chanted “BC! BC! BC!” in support of Costello and proved it when they surrounded Cherie, who was being chased around and outside the ring by Costello. Cherie often slapped Costello in the face when Golden tightly held the challenger near the ropes. “Did we not beat up the slob,” asked Golden, looking at Cherie, who was All dressed up in black. “I took him to the butcher and any guy who challenges me for this belt will be annihilated. He will be dead meat. ” The match began with both wrestlers taunting each other. Then, Costello tossed Golden out of the ring. But, the champ came back with a killer headlock, and slugged the challenger to the mat. Costello rallied with several body slams after claiming that Golden was using a “foreign object” in his fist. However, Golden scored big with a takedown, adding a few kicks and punches. Shortly after this. Golden was declared the winner while Costello refused to leave the ring. “He knew he wouldn’t beat me,” said Golden. Semi-Main Event The semi-main event bout featured a two-on-two showdown between the Gurrero Brothers and Al Snow and Smasher Slone. Mayhem followed. The Gurrero Brothers prevailed in the end. This match was highlighted with action-packed confrontations. Partners alternated and added their own brands of punishment. After the winners were announced, the Gurrero Brothers iced the decision by tossing Snow and the Smasher out of the ring. The crowd favorably responded. Other Matches Dale “The Terrible Termite” Bolinger claimed a lopsided decision over John “The Rebel” McCarty. The Termite often had the Rebel hanging on the ropes. He finished off his bearded foe with a classic body slam and pm. Mike Starr won his match against Ben Patrick, one of the “Flying Tigers.” It was an even confrontation as both wrestlers traded headlocks, takedowns and body slams. Both were even knocked out of the ring from time to time. The evening wasn’t a total loss for the “Flying Tigers” since

outing. He was third low meds list in the Rose-Hulman Invitational at Terre Haute. And he was a c onsistent top 10 finisher through out the spring season.

Just a freshman, lie former Warrior ace had established himself as a stanc out at the small college level. Cnly 120 golfers were invited to participate in the nationals, ind Bryan was thankful he got the chance at this stage in his career at DePauw. “I was really excited,” he “I didn’t plan on winning it, but it was a great experience for m< — something I could use the next three years.” Bryan obviously had a reali: tic approach. One that would make you believe he was not seriius about his game. Don’t let tiat mislead you. Bryan finished 5( th, placing him well into the top half of a competitive field. He completed the four-round tournej in 317 strokes — an average of 79 per outing. “It was a tough course,” Br an said. “It wasn’t really long, but it was beautiful and had lots of all trees. It was just great to be there.” Bryan also commented on the hospitality at Wilkes-Barre, which is located in the far east section of Pennsylvania. “They really put on a nice show for us over there,” hiF recalled. “The town had banners all o'er, welcoming us and the meml ers at the golf club were so nice to us. Also, Raymond Floyd spoke it a banquet and gave us a lot of good advice.” An economics major, Bryan mentioned that his game sufft red in the fall. “I didn’t have a good fall season,” he said. “But I vas just trying to get used to new surroundings and get situated with my classes first. When I got settled. things got better because I had a good spring. ’ ’ So good, in fact, that he vas chosen on the college all-district team which included golfers fr om Michigan. Ohio, Wisconsin ind Indiana. “I definitely want to make the nationals the next three years,” said Bryan. “And I want

to improve my stroke. That part of my game has gone down a little.” With that attitude, his game is bound to get better. After all, Bryan has valuable tournament experience. He competed at the state tourney three of his four years at Wawasee and placed ninth as a senior. “I also have to work on my accuracy,” said Bryan. “I’ve got to hit the greens a little more and I have to continue putting well. ”
