Winter Olympics
Claim Last Victim
CORTINA D"AMPEZZO,
Italy, Feb. 6 (/Pl—After all the
hazardous- spills on ice and
snow, the seventh Winter
Olympic Games had their final
accident tonight.
The victim was a Cortina po
liceman. taking down one of
the big signs that directed spec
tators at the ice stadium. It
fell on his head. He was taken
to the hospital for seven
stitches.
Nodland, Poust, and Oberly
pinned their opopnents for the
only pins of the match. Nodland
used a half nelson and arm bar
to dispose of Henry Gray in the
first match. And Oberly, ouL
weighed 50 pounds by his oppo
nent Jim Parker who is also a
standout football player, used
brute force and excellent mat sav
vy to pin his opponent with only
one minute remaining. Parker’s
weight proved a stumbling block
for the “small” 200-pound Oberly
in the first two periods of the
match.
Poust used a half nelson and
arm bar to pin Ted Swingle in
2:42 of the first period. Poust was
leading 6-1 when he scored his
pin.
The Lions also picked up 10 easy
points when Johnston was award
ed a forfeit in his match when
his opponent failed to make the
weight, and when Ed Nicholson
sustained an injury and failed to
come out for the second period
in his match with Humphreys.
In the other matches Pepe deci
sioned Joe Branco 11-1; Adams
decisioned Gene Weiss, 7-1; and
Krufka shutout his - opponent,
Lloyd Moore, 13-0. All three oppo
nents were completely outclassed
by the veteran Lion matmen.
The Lions meet Syracuse Sat
urday night in Rec Hall in their
second home appearance of the
season.
