Cowboy Bob Ellis gets his
chance for revenge against Dick
the Bruiser at the Olympia. Saturday, May 6, in the first. cowboy cqrral brawl ever staged
in a Michigan wrestling -ring.

This is a primitive, savage from
of combat -that~ is still popular
in man+to-man combat ~in the
West. Rules mean little in a
match like this. Guts:and power
~are what count in this kind of
a showdown battle.

Matchmaker John Doyle will
ask for volunteers from the other
wrestlers on the. card. These
giants will form a human wall
around the ring. Whenever a
wrestler is thrown _out of ~the
fing or deliberately seeks sanctuary outside.the ropes, the other
wrestlers will gang up on him,
pick him-up and pitch him bodily
back into the ring.

~That~s my ~style,~ says Ellis.
~I always believed that a man
should stand up and fight.:

PM en tay thing, ~the Bruiser

is always picking up pieces of
broken bottles, or ahetre or any-!
thing he can use as a weapon. In
@ Cowboy ~corral match, ~he ~can't~
get away with that. This will
be man against man, with ~no

Ellis subsequently fought The
Bruiser. twice for the Olympia.
Both ~bouts ended ~in wild controversy, with The Bruiser desperately using ~the lowfest tactics to avert defeat.

~Every time I had him wobbly,
he jumped out of the ring,~ says
Ellis. ~He was ~scared to death,
and he knows it. Now he~ll have
to stand-up and fight. ~'m going
