Salient: Victoria University Students' Paper. Vol. 29, No. 9. 1966.

Dirty fighter

Dirty fighter

The rogue naturally refuses to shake hands and stalks back to his corner. During the fight great is the rogue's ability, but what a dirty fighter! We see our poor hero beaten, knuckled, hair pulled, and thrown to the mat numerous times.

Finally, it is too much . . . the hero lies a beaten man. The crowd is incensed with rage at the rogue's tactics, but one is left wondering how the referee managed to miss all the dirty little tricks which were displayed in triple to the anticipant but outraged crowd. The end, however, is not yet, for great though the effort is the hero raises himself and with vengeance descends on his tormentor.

With one motion the rogue is sent spinning against the ropes ... he bounces off the ring side and meets a karate–type blow in the neck which knocks him to the ground. The audience is delirious with joy and the young hero, acclaimed throughout the hall, parades around the ring before disappearing to the hotel where he and his friend (the rogue) happen to be staying.
