In sizing up both wrostlors, i could say thatllcCluro is a good wrostior who, liko Wakaruk, sho s considorablo skill in breaking holds, hhkaruk, J who incidentally is tailor than HcCIuro, lias a few noro tricks up his sleovo, and knows whon and how-to apply then. Wakaruk is stronger than McClure, therefore giving his holds noro forco. Putting aside these advantages, McClure proves that ho s quite capable Wakaruk. of standing up to iron this write-up, you got the idea that McClure is a no-good guy. On the contrary, he is roally quite nice, whon not using dirty tactics. .frostling is a good sport, and as for ny opinion, if it carries any weight, I would propose that greater efforts be ta ken to further tho development of intcr-rocn wrestling in Winnipog Schools.

This writo-up is to givo you an idea on how this sport is cairiod on. in ovory good natch thoro should be a villain and a horo. This adds to tho excitement of the fight. Tho grado 9D boys of Hugh John Macdonald SehooI aro just tho pocplo capable of supplying us with this, without actually doing any bodily ham to one another. This doos not moan that tho boys fix their fights, as tho torn is us ed in the wrestling world, not by a long shot. It is just that tho boys like to wrestle without toaring oach other apart. Tho odd tino thoro will - be a blooding nose, but noscblocds can cano just as easily in a basketball, football, or hockey game. For instance, just a while ago I hoard of a boy breaking his thumb in a basket¬ ball game. The match of which I an spoaldng pitted the strength of villain Dirty Dusok McCluro, against tho stamina and skill of one Lawrcnco Wakaruk. The fight was on. Both boys faced oach other, sizing up his opponent. All of a sudden McClure rushed at Wakaruk catching him off guard. He lifted Wakaruk in tho air ard threw him over his back, Wakaruk recovered in time, howovor, to grab hold of ono of McClure -s legs;-. ' and pulled him to tho canvas. Tho fight continued with both wrestler s : tumbling around on the mats, neither boating the otter. Thoro woro timos whon McCluro would turn to Ms dirty tactics while reforoo John Ansoll wasn t looking. For instance, McCluro dragged Wakaruk over to tho odgo of tho matefond used His bare knucklos to eye gouge. This action was witnessed;only by myself. —j —jj -i Another ono of Dirty Dusok s foul tactics is hair pulling, but ho pullod that stunt once too often. McCluro had a grip on Wakaruk S ' hair whon Wakaruk landed a solid blow to McCluro s abdomen. Tills cured McClure for tho rest of tho fight. Ono of tho Mgh points cane when McClurcr had Wakaruk s left leg ih a scibsor grip. By semo cute trick, Wakaruk escaped from this painful hold and applied the prossure of tho sane grip to McClure s right arm. McCluro howovor, sonsing tho force of his grip, managod to got his loft hand in lino with Wakaruk s faco. He thon lot looso with a flying-loft, cIbsod“fist and all, which connected solidly on Wakaruk’s nose. Roi.rco Ansoll called a fivo ninuto tino-out duo to a nosoblood.
