Wyandotte HS in Win Over Hornets
Wrestling Meet Held in Kansas City, Kansas, Yesterday, a Return
Affair.
Meeting the Wyandotte High School wrestling team in a
return match yesterday afternoon at the large Kansas City High
School building, the Chillicothe High Hornets found they had met
their masters for the Kansans won by a score of 20.5 to 14.5
Three Chillicothe boys failed to make their weights,
being a few pounds too heavy, and this meant that they had to meet
opponents who were much heavier than they were themselves. This was
especially true of Bill Rickerson and Taylor both of whom were
defeated. Charles Vennemann was slightly outweighed by his opponent
but he manages to throw him for a fall victory.
Jess Brouhard, local heavyweight who is picked as a
possible state champion in his weight this year, won over the Kansas
heavyweight. Leland Fair and Stewart were other local boys who
chalked up wins. Applebury of the Hornets tied with Day of
Wyandotte.
The complete meet results follow:
95 pounds-Falwell of Wyandotte defeated Rickerson of
Chillicothe by fall, Time 7:52
105 pounds-Svaglic of Wyandotte defeated Taylor of
Chillicothe by 2 to 0 decision
115 pounds-Venneman of Chillicothe defeated Austin of
Wyandotte by fall. Time 1:58
125 pounds-(Bout awarded draw) Day of Wyandotte vs
Applebury of Chillicothe
135 pounds-Knaus of Wyandotte defeated Vale of
Chillicothe by fall Time 6:30

Chillicothe by 5 to 0 decision

Chillicothe by fall time 1:24

Chillicothe by 4 to 0 decision

HORNET MAT TEAM WINS EVERY M.M.A. MATCH BY A FALL
Clean Sweep Record in Contest at Mexico Yesterday Afternoon
NOW GO TO STATE MEET
Will Be Held in Columbia On Marsh 8-9; Team of Lettermen
It is very seldom that a wrestling team makes a clean
sweep in a match with another school but the Chillicothe Hornet
wrestlers went that far and a bit father when they defeated the
Mexico Military Academy team 45-0 yesterday afternoon at Mexico.
They won every bout by a fall.
From the lightest man on the team to the heaviest man
the local boys were able to pin their opponents back on the mat
before the seven minute time limit had ticked away. Vennemann was
the fastest worker of the group with a 20 second fall to his credit.
Brouhard managed to win in only 38 seconds and Fair took just one
minute.
All of the boys who won their bouts at the same time
won their school letter in the sport for the rules are that a boy
must win one bout or place in the state meet. The state meet is to
be held in Columbia on March 8th and 9th and the whole team will go
to compete.
In an exhibition match following the regular nine
bouts, Jimmy Stewart, 115 lbs Hornet, wrestled a 135 pound M.M.A.
cadet by the name of Fortites. Stewart nearly had the bigger boy
down several times and only the weight advantage held by his
opponent prevented his getting a fall victory. After the
seven-minute tussel he was given the decision 13 to 7.
The results and times of the bouts are as follows:
95 pounds-Rickerson, Chillicothe defeated Cornbleet of
MMA 1:47
105 pounds-Taylor, CHS defeated Wyman, MMA, 6:37
115 pounds-Vennemann, CHS defeated Marshall, MMA 0:20
125 pounds-Applebury, CHS defeated Troy, MMA, 4:04
135 pounds-Vale, CHS defeated Richards, MMA 1:39
145 pounds-Holt, CHS defeated Grey, MMA, 3:14
155 pounds-Maupin, CHS defeated Karos, MMA 2:53
165 pounds-Fair, CHS defeated Bondourer MMA 1:00
185 pounds-Brouhard, CHS defeated Merridino, MMA, 0:37
Coach Pat Bradshaw of the Hornets said this morning
that is the first time he ever heard of a team winning all of the
bouts on a card by falls, usually a few are decision affairs
