Portland Oregonian – September 12, 1949
Stocky Kneilsen, rugged matman from Tennessee, chose to argue from the wrong side of the ropes Monday night at the Labor Temple and consequently was counted out, with the third and deciding fall of the wrestling feature going to George Dusette.
The match was all even, with Kneilsen winning the first fall and losing the second on disqualification, when the rhubarb began. Dusette, peeved when Kneilsen continually crawled outside the ropes to avoid him, went along the trip to the apron and punished the Tennessee grappler. Kneilson protested it took referee Harry Elliott too long in pulling Dusette off his back, and demanded the fall on disqualification. But the protest was made from outside the ropes, and Elliott merely counted Kneilsen out.
In the red-hot semi-windup, Leo Karilenko and Frank Stojack battled to a rugged draw. Karilenko took the first fall with a hammerlock, then Stojack, feinting a try for his specialty, the airplane spin, grabbed Karilenko by the ankles and gave him the giant swing before pinning him. They went the rest of the way to no fall.
Al Szasz and Carl Meyers went to a no-fall draw in the special event, and Dale Kiser won the opener from Bill McEuin on disqualification.
