Eugene Register-Guard – May 24, 1950

Two-thirds of a triple main event have been signed by Matchmaker Don Owen for his Saturday night mat card at the Armory arena. The third feature is slated for announcement later in the week.

Feature Won By Dusette

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.

Associated Press – October 7, 1953

This, friends, could be slaughter. Or sheer slapstick.
