WRESTLING MINISTER
COLUMBUS, O., (>P)—The Rev.
William Charles Jones wrestles
4 4*
with sin—and other * wrestlers.
He is pastor of Nelson Memor
ial Presbyterian Church. While he
never wrestled professionally, he
taught wrestling at Hanover Col
lege in Indiana and at the Uni
versity of Kentucky.
Every few days the 190-pound
preacher goes downtown to A1
Haft’s gynasium for a workout
with some of the promoter’s pro
fessional stars. The professional
wrestlers treat him just like any
other wrestler — except they
watch their language a little
more.
