Bill Wallace Defends Grand National Karate Title
Bill Wallace known as the Muncie Wonder retained the United States Karate Grand Nationals crown with a 2-1 victory over Ken Knudson of Chicago in Anderson High School Gym as 5,000 fans watched. Wallace began a strong year by beating world champ Joe Lewis last June and weathered a tough final to hold the title. The event marked likely the Grand Nationals final in Anderson, with plans for smaller tours afterward. Team results saw Kamakai Academy of Anderson upset St Louis 10-4, and notable displays included Tadashi Yamashita and Daniel Pai performing spectacular demonstrations.
