In fact, "old men" are getting involved too. The Fat Old Men, Too (F.O.M.II) Wrestling Tournament will be in the Clearwater High School Gymnasium on March SO at 10 am. The finals are scheduled to begin at approximately 7 p.m. "The event is a wrestling tourna ment for old-time wrestlers who did not compete at the high school or college level during the psst tieasort," said Martin Flsrcin, director of the tour nament for the pist two yesrs.

Tournament directors are expecting 200 or more entrants and are setting a goal of raising $4,000. This year the money will go toward buying uniforms for the high school team. "The whole town becomes involved in this," said Bill Kester, chairman for the Chamber cfCcmmerce. "The shop class makes all cf the trophies and they also benefit from this because they will receive some new tools. We will also donate some new weights to the foot ball team and the whole high school" The tournament will consist of eleven weight classes, and any age can partic ipate. The youngest participant last year was 18 and the eldest was about 40, Kester said. The entry fee is $5 a person and $2 extra a person for team competitioa Teams are not limited to the number of participants. The matches will consist of three one-minute rounds in weight classes, from ISO to unlimited. "The night is used to reflect on how the participants used to be when they participated in the sport," Fleming said. "They talk a lot about how tough they used to be and what it was like back then."

First place will receive 40 percent payback while second and third place will receive 25 and ten percent payback respectively. Last year, the auction received $1,600 for the wrestlers. "I encourage everyone to try and come out and buy a wrestler," Kester said. "It is not limited to just people from this part of the state. Anyone interested can attend. It is the largest old old-timers tournament in the state." Although the main goal of F.O.M.II tournament is to buy the wrestling team uniforms, it is also for "showing off the new mat that was bought with last year's profits," Fleming said. "We have some pretty good talent up here," Fleming said. "It is a pretty relaxed meet. It is also an event to get positive support for the sport. We feel that it is a good sport and that it has a lot going for it. "The tournament is a fan event. There is a recovery party afterwards and it is just a pretty good deal." "The quality of wrestling is out standing," Kester said. "Some of the mediocre wrestlers last year had a real tough time. Entrants, must be pretty decent wrestlers to get in or thy might not make it through." L 475-3941 "Igpta better pizza. i 1 K Sava up to SS during our season-opening Supersale.
