his two offspring, and he has hopes of making them the outstanding brother combination
in wrestling,” according to the November 2, 1936 edition of the Kansas City Kansan.

Kansas City, Missouri:  Monday, November 9, 1936
(Municipal Auditorium) … Lee Wykoff failed to throw Orville Brown twice in 90:00 (Wykoff
won the first fall, Brown won the second fall) (Garrett Smalley, secretary of the Missouri
State Athletic Commission named Brown the victor) (it was said in the newspaper that
Smalley initially gave the match to Wykoff, then called it a no contest, then a no decision,
then giving the bout to Brown) (Wykoff, despite the finish, was called the “better man”
and that Lee claimed that he would never have lost the fall “had he not concentrated on
offensive wrestling, due to the time limit under which he was working.”) … The Cardiff
Giant b. Warren Bockwinkel (4:52) … Terry McGinnis b. Sun Jennings … Steve O’Toole
and Walter Sirois drew … Joe Banaski b. Leo Newman (DQ) … (promoter:  Gabe
Kaufman) … (referee:  Walter Bates)
Notes:  There was a war of words in the newspapers building up to the Wykoff-Brown
affair.  It was said to be a “show down between rival factions.” The Kansas City Kansan
said “Wykoff is the representative of the ‘independents.’ Brown is from the so called
‘trust.’ Now the boys are getting together to settle their differences in the ring.” The paper
also stated “challenges and counter-challenges have been flying thick and fast between
the leaders of the rival factions in the two Kansas Citys, which was climaxed today when
Wykoff signed with the rival manager, Gabe Kaufman to wrestle in Kaufman’s ‘own back
yard.’” Johnny Atkins “said today that starting tomorrow afternoon, the ‘independents’
would engage in workout at the Steuben club in Kansas City, Mo., until the matches next
Monday.” This entire show would feature five wrestlers from the independents, Wykoff,
McGinnis, Sirois, Giant, and Banaski, and five wrestlers from the “trust,” Brown, Sun
Jennings, Steve O’Toole, Warren Bockwinkel, Leo Newman.  It was built up as
“Independent Mat stars to meet ‘Trust.’” Wykoff was “out to break the trust,” and leading
the independent faction.  Brown was regarded as the “crown prince” of the Trust.  
Bockwinkel, according to the newspaper, “wrestled in Memorial Hall as Jim Parker last
season.” A representative of the V.F.W. refused to give Brown the $500 as a result of the
main event, claiming that he was going to follow the referee’s decision and not the ruling
of Smalley.

rise of Wykoff, who lost no time in challenging the veteran.  He finally forced Eustace into
