When he is not out on the wrestling circuit, he hangs his hat athome in Belton, Mo., which is in Cass County just below KansasCity.This 190-pound Adonis is sixfeet tall and proportioned accordingly. It is not often that Missouri supplies a man for the local ring, but Feeback comes rated as a plow-jockey of superior talent in the ring. Sammy was champ of the Santa Fe system in 1935 and 1936. He trained behind a plow.Nick Elitch. a Greek from New York City, is even more so built like a gladiator. Weighing 200 pounds, his arms look like the upper leg of a horse. He has wrestled some of the top ranking heavyweights.Frankie Hill wrestles in the light heavyweight division. Hill weights the same as Feeback, his opponent, 190 pounds.Elitch will take on Wild Bill Rush.
