Savoldi Misses with DropKick By Telegraph—Press Association CHRISTCHURCH, Nov. 11. The flying drop-kick which has gained “Jumping” ,Joe Savoldi so many brilliant victories, proved his Own undoing to-night when he met Ed Don George in a special challenge match. Savoldi, who weighed 15 stone 41bs., gained a submission fall in the fourth round with a short arm-scissors, and George equalised in the sixth with a press after a series of jolts, forward head throws and dumps. Savoldi rocked his opponent with a vicious flying tackle in the seventh after connecting with some vicious elbow jolts. The first of the expected drop-kicks did not connect cleanly, and George evaded the next one, Savoldi falling heavily on to the ropes. He was unable to continue the bout.
