Notes:
Morgan was a substitute for Rube Wright, who was supposedly ill.
Graham threw Bruns out of the ring after that, "Temporarily, at least, Bruns thought himself a superman, and for a few minutes he was as good as the comic character who wears the big S.
Bruns leaped back into the ring, blasted Graham to the mat and then piled the referee, Promoter Orval McCain and Wrestler Orville Brown on the canvas, taking them on singly and in pairs. Finally the four men ganged up on Bruns and got him down. They carried him to the dressing room, apparently still out of his head."
