LEXINGTON, NORTH CAROLINA
53 Years Ago
ABE JACOBS and DOUG GILBERT will pair up as a new wrestling team tonight at the LEXINGTON YMCA when they meet the rugged duo of RIP HAWK and SWEDE HANSON, known in wrestling circles as the "BLONDE BOMBERS."
JACOBS, the New Zealand flash, is returning here after a long absence, and his dynamic style should fit well with the spectacular moves of young GILBERT. HAWK and HANSON, very rough operators, are a veteran combination, so the best-of-three fall contest should prove interesting.
Another two-out-of-three fall contest is scheduled as THE FLYING SCOTTS, GEORGE and SANDY, face a new brute force combo in THE ALASKAN and THE BEAST.
PEPPER GOMEZ and MIKE VALENTINE will square off in the evening's opening match at 8:15.
* MIKE VALENTINE later wrestled as BARON MIKEL SCICLUNA.
This card, as it turned out, never took place on the scheduled night, being cancelled due to a heavy snow.
