Of course .these people would be the ones who don’t know the inside story. Among the trade-the lady wrest- ers’ trade-they say Mildred Burke is tops in her field. She’s never, been thrown during her 13 years and though she weighs but 136 pounds she once tps^ed n il90- pound gal, Mae Young, in Hous ton, Tex, / /<’ The M-yaar-old flvr-fooMwn blur-eyed iiuttlady with auburn hair and sparkling blur eye* re- - ralU a match ahr had In Mexico City a few year* ago, “l came \\ip with fever a few Imura hefoiV,' aaya Miss Burke, ”1 had high temperature hut had to wresila, No sulmtltute was avail able, My opponent took advantage Ay helling me in the siomiU'h at toe start of the match, It was the first time 1 ever crawled for Ihe ropes to gasp for air. I really hail the wind knocked outlof me. When I returned to the ring I tossed her o^l around the ring. Each time she tried tu submit I tossed tyr some more before I finally endc " it. 1 certainly taught that giix a lesson.” Mildred gets a big kick/hut of wrestling, not to mention a com fortable living. She grosses about $60,000 a year, wrestling .anywhere from three to six rughts a week for eight mouths for 16 to 20 per cent qf the gate. Her expenses come pretty high, like $1,500 every year for a new car on which she puts 100,(HtO miles, plus plane fare for a ,ong-night stand hundreds of miles /off her swing, hotel and meal/bills and about $200 a week fop/phone calls. Born in Coffeeville, Kans., Miss Burke now lives in Los Angeles where she has bought two homes, one for her mother who, while Mildred in on tour, takes care of her 14-year-old son by a former marriage. The lady wrestler with the waist of a follies girl and arm and shoul der muscles of a female Atlas, advises'sports, even wrestling, for women. “Wrestling for fun is good spor|t. Amateur wrestling keeps the body agile. But in pro wrestling it has got to be rough or the customers won’t come out. They want show manship and we give it to them. There’s no fooling around and no feigning helplessness like with the men. ; And I think lady wrestling is much faster. There are about 100 female wmrtlers in the coun try and about lO are real good.” Miss Bprkfe got her chance to become a wrestler almost 15 years ago in /Kunsar City, ”1 pestered Hilly to let me wrestle with some unmteurx. ] weighed only 115 pntmds then, Hilly got so tired of Ate bothering him that one day he Av ■Klip iHii -•A :W A| Holbrook, • n • And Hall E Friday and Saturday will find dies ies ent •tional Collegiate; the four Texas Aggi 28th s i annual Ni Athletic Association track and field championship meet, being held jh; Los Angeles, . ., I Kay Holbrook, the Aggie 440- yard dash man will, run in this event against such top preforme# as Mai Whitfield of Ohio State, Frank Fox of Hei.m Hall, and J Nebolon of Washington State “ brook set a new Noulhwast ferenee record this season at ti e Southwest Conference Meet dhls spring, Itesldes running the ai eltor Teg on the Aggie crack mil relay team, which also set a tie conference record.

There weren’t many wom en wrestlers then so I wrestled against men weighing 125 pounds. In some towns we had to put ads asking for matches with men within ten pounds of my weight.’’ Toughest match she ever had was against Betty Nichols at Cbl- un>hus,. O., hack around l!).'i8. “In the first match ffhe blackened my eye and the bout was so rough it was stopped after 20 minutes,” says'Mjldred. “The next week,ve went 30 minutes to a draw. In the third match I defeated her in aboil 18 minutes. Betty was so broken hedrted she gave up wrestling.” Mildred has lhad both knobs banged up, both thumbs dislocat and has a soar on her left eyeli Yet in ejverday attire she would pass for a Sunday School teach) r.
