CHARLOTTE, NORTH CAROLINA
56 Years Ago
HANS SCHMIDT, a brutal 240 lb. German, will headline tonight's wrestling card at PARK CENTER.
SCHMIDT, noted as one of the very toughest wrestlers on the American circuit, will face another rugged grappler in that of LENNY MONTANA *.
The bout, which will be a test for both wrestlers, is set for two-out-of-three falls, with a one hour time limit.
The rest of the card is dotted with new faces.
The semi-final brings in newcomer BILL DROMO, a youngster with a big reputation, to meet the rough and tough SWEDE HANSON. DROMO is from Detroit and specializes in the scientific approach to the sport, unlike HANSON.
Another prelim will unveil two newcomers to the Charlotte area when young JOHNNY WEAVER ** takes on EDDIE AUGER.
The 8:15 opener brings in still another new face, SIR ALLAN GARFIELD, who will team with TINKER TODD to face the combo of STEVE BOLUS and KEN COOPER.
