Kenai’s First
Wrestling Match
Draws Big Crowd
by Michaelene S. Pendleton
The big- event at Kenai Central
Hig-h School last weekend was a
wrestling match on Friday, Feb.
8, between Kenai and West Anch
orage.
West won the ‘match 36 points
to Kenai's 10. Even with this one
sided score, Kenai has the doubt
ful distinction of winning twice as
many bouts from West as any
other team has. They won two.
In a pep rally Friday, Coach
Jerry Near explained and demon
strated, with help from J. C. Vol
entine and Bob Lite, the holds and
scorings of a wrestling bout.
Each bout is six minutes long in
periods of two minutes each. Five
points are made for a pin and dif
ferent amounts for a decision.
The bout started slow for Kenai
with Pat Commach pinning Larry
Hobbs in 3 minutes 50 seconds.
Ron Dean pinned Rick O’Regan in
3 minutes 28 seconds. Gene Har
old pinned Gary Bonin in 3 min
utes 5 seconds. Carl Judd pinned
Darrel Leach in 3 minutes 4 se
conds.
Then it was Kenai’s turn as
Jerry Harvey pinned Mike Meade
in 4 minutes 50 seconds. It was
Anchorage’s turn again as Pete
Lee beat Frank Rivers by a 9-0
decision. Kenai then got their se
cond win of the night as J. C.
Vollentine pinned Ron Brant in 3
minutes 59 seconds. Anchorage
took the resit of the bouts as Bob
Davies pinned Dave Gagnon in 1
minute 59 seconds, and Steve
Copeland decisioned Bob Lite 9 to
6.
Kenai had no wrestler in the
heavyweight class and so could
have forfeited that match, giving
West the five points. But Denny
Van Sky went in and was pinned
by Gary Allison, who is 40 pounds
heavier, in 1 minute 40 seconds.
Anchorage had to work for each
point and Coach Near is satisfied
that the boys are improving.
The Kenai Jr. Varsity Basket
ball cheerleaders became the
wrestling cheerleaders and added
team spirit in their black slacks
and black Kenai sweatshirts.
There was a good crowd at the
match and $107 was taken in for
the high school athletic fund.

ARE FOSTER PARENTS
SOLDOTNA — Recent week

Mrs. Frank Mullen were Mr. and
Mrs. Francis “Andy” Andersen
of Anchorage. They formerly
homesteaded on the bluff above
Homer and at one time spent the
winter in a nylon tent on the Mul
lens’ homestead while working in
this area. (The tent was eight
layers thick by break-up time.)
The Andersens recently returned
from a trip to Ireland, the Scan
dinavian countries and other por
tions of Europe. They were ac
companied on their weekend trip
to Soldotna by two small Eskimo
girls, both two years of age, to
whom they are serving as foster
parents. The children, since birth,
have required medication at fre
quent intervals in order to live.
Mrs. Andersen is a registered
