Five Fall Finisher
Judell du Long Linda Schultz
Garden Grove, California, Friday, 9th August, 1974
Judell du Long is an attractive, well-built, brunette in her thirties -
mother of a teenage daughter - living in Westminster, California. She also
is, or claims to be - with good reason - the "submissions only" women's
wrestling champion.
In some three years of amateur wrestling, she has faced the very best
girls in the State. Her claim to the "submissions only" championship is
backed by an impressive forty or more submissions in a row, whilst never
conceding a fall to any opponent.
We hope to do a detailed "profile" on this likable and open lady in
the near future, but meanwhile we think readers will be interested in her
own account of a bout that took place in August, 1974 - when her opponent
was none other than Linda Schultz, a girl that's already been featured in
our pages. To finance her considerable wrestling activity, Judell makes a
detailed photographic record - both in stills and in movie film - of every
bout. These are available on sale at prices ranging from $25.00 to $40.00,
depending on the number of stills (sometimes up to 80 or more) or the length
of film. Most photos and all films are in color, and are of very high
quality. Orders for sets of still shots are accompanied by a written
account of the match, of which the following edited version is a typical
example.
One last word - unlike so many films available from other suppliers (no
names, no pack drill) - all Judell's are absolutely genuine. There may not
be such dramatic submissions or kayos, but what you see is for real.
Linda Schultz and I had been in contact regarding a match since June.
The rules proved to be no problem. She prefers submission only rules and
feels this prevents problems re fast or slow counts by a ref. She also felt
the one-hour time limit regarding the number of falls was a wise idea. She
did ask for a two-minute rest period between falls, and I agreed even though
I prefer just a single minute of rest. All the usual infractions wee
banned; such as punching, kicking, etc. We agreed we would not ban any
standard wrestling holds.
Linda and her husband Larry arrived on Wednesday, so Linda had a 48-
hour rest before our match at 8 p.m. on Friday evening. Present were a
scorekeeper, a time-keeper, my usual film-man, Larry, also making a film
record, Nancy Hogle, who seconded me, her husband and one or two others -
plus a number of my daughter's teenage friends who wrestle each Saturday and
filled the window sills on the far side of the mat.
As usual I was nervous because this was my first official title match
since my March re-match win over Jan Haefner. This meant a layoff of over
four months. Also I had trained down to 126 pounds, which was my lowest
match weight ever. I worried if either might effect my performance. Linda
weighed in at 122 pounds, so I outweighed her by four pounds. We are each 5
feet 5 inches, but she appears a shade taller than I in the pictures. At 23
she is twelve years younger than I. She first wrestled over four years ago
and has faced Dixie and Sheri Whitlow here in California. She has also
faced the best of the New York area girls. She has had experience against
many of the best, and I was concerned about my mere fifteen months of
wrestling.
In our corners we awaited the opening bell. Moments before the start
Linda appeared to tense up, whilst I did some pre-bout exercises. We posed,
and now each tense and eager to get the match underway.
We're off! We circled each other looking for the first opening. Linda
found it and clamped on a headlock and brought me to the mat. I worked to
position myself on her so she would have to fight my weight; then when I
broke free I would be in a good position to work on her. Linda still held
her headlock, but I was inches away from getting my own head scissors. I
knew this would bring a quick submission, but Linda was experienced enough
to keep her head on the mat and keep grinding away with her headlock. I
could not get my head scissors. Linda was managing to move away from my
legs and the head scissors try. She was still working on her headlock; and
while I was on her as I wished to be, I still fought to free myself. Two
minutes had now passed. I was working on her arm and starting to free
myself. Linda still held her headlock but I could sense she was starting to
tire.
Then I was free, and on the offensive! Three minutes had passed, and I
was eager to go to work on her. We were at grips again, my right arm under
her head, and my left arm had trapped her leg. I tried to join hands for a
cradle hold. I was on her now and in control. I wanted to win the first
fall now. I knew I had her! I had her lower body in a scissor, and a bear
hug over her upper body and chest. I pulled down on her lower body with the
scissors and on the upper body with the bear hug. I knew she could not hold
out for long - and then I had it, my first submission!
Linda had submitted the first fall at 4:13 minutes to what they called
a "head stretch/body scissors." Call it what you like, but it got that
first submission I wanted after being in her headlock for three minutes.
It is out for the second fall, and Linda comes out fast. She wanted to
even it up and she was strong here. We each tried for the advantage.
Muscle to muscle, and neither of us would go down.
Then Linda took me down, and again I found myself fighting her
headlock. This time I did not have the good body position I'd had in the
first fall. I was determined not to have to fight her headlock for three
minutes again, and I used everything to get on her and break free. It
worked! I was back in command, and was out to stretch her into submission
once again. I had her upper body under total control as I'd wrapped my arms
around her head in a type of head lock. I had grapevined her legs and was
pulling up on her head and upper body.
In desperation Linda rolled and freed her legs. That relieved the pain
and pressure of my stretch. She fought to keep her legs free and away from
mine. She knew that when I controlled her legs, the pain and pressure would
return. I was still working on her head, but was about to scissor her lower
body. The fight was leaving her now - for over three minutes she had fought
to escape my control, and her efforts had taken their toll on her. Then I
had gained my second submission!
We were both tired now. The time was 7:39 minutes, and they called the
submission a "grapevine stretch." I had really poured it on in that fall.
The holds were new ones I'd been working on, and they were working well for
me.
In action again, and before I knew what Linda had me trapped in a good
body scissors - but I was able to get to my feet. This always relieves most
of the pain and puts my opponent in a dangerous position with me over her.
I tried to turn her over onto her stomach so I could try for a Boston crab.
Linda made a wise choice and released the scissors. Then I was trying to
position her head between my legs for a head scissors, but I had to control
her legs or I might end up in a head scissors myself. At the same time I
was trying for a leg split. I sensed that submission number three was near.
I caught her left arm in a scissor and once again used a press-type hold as
this time I controlled her lower body with my arms. Then she had submitted,
for the third time, at 11:23 minutes, to what was recorded as an "arm
scissors/press." Again I had used my upper body and arm power to force her
to give up. I had worked hard for my three submissions, and a toweling-off
was necessary.
Starting the fourth fall, we each tried for a bear hug in an effort to
out-muscle the other. Linda's muscles are quite something! I broke contact
in a fast move and secured a good standing headlock. This hurt, and I kept
her head tucked close to my side. I took her to the mat and worked the
headlock in a try for a fast submission. I poured all I had into it, but
she held out. To increase pressure I went to my knees, but in a flash her
legs went to work with scissors. She had lost three falls already, but her
legs were as strong as at the opening bell.
I moved to my feet and forced the scissors down over my hip bones, and
the pain was not so great. She was still taking punishment from my
headlock. She still worked the scissors with all she had left, but I would
not give up. As I moved over her, she remained in danger. Linda poured
everything she could into that scissors - it appeared she felt only her legs
could get a submission from me - but when she could not apply any more
pressure, she had to release it and we went to the mat in a double headlock.
We each worked on our own headlock and tried to gain an advantage as
the fourteen-minute mark passed. I was working to keep her pinned and on
the headlock. She still tried her own headlock, but I knew she would tire
with me on her. I wanted to break her headlock and I did. She was trapped,
and I intended to get submission number four before I let her up. She made
a great effort to free herself and almost rolled over, but she just didn't
have the power left, and I had a submission hold on her. I had her left
knee in a scissor and was pushing into her stomach with my hip bones. All
the time I was pulling on her arms with all I had. Linda again tried to
roll over, but I had her locked in place, and there was no way out. She had
to submit at 15:47 minutes, and they listed it as a "figure four leg
stretch."
Between falls Nancy Hogle and I agreed it was all over, and I should
put her away for good in the next fall.
Muscle to muscle once again we started what was to be the last fall.
Linda was still wanting at least one submission, if possible. I felt I had
to go for the same hold that had won the last fall. I felt this would put
her away for the night, and she fell into it once again. Again I went for
the leg but made certain to avoid the left knee, which seemed to be in pain
from the last submission. Others go for any injury, like an animal smelling
blood, but I try to avoid any leg or arm or portion of the body that may not
yet be one hundred percent OK from the last submission. Foolish, you may
say, for showing a lack of "killer instinct." I feel I want to beat the
girl by my power and not her momentary weakness. In any event, the right
knee was trapped in my scissors, and I knew she could not break free. It
was now up to Linda to decide how much pain she could endure. We were at
the 18-minute mark now.
She held out and held out. Then I decided to pour all I had left into
the hold. My legs strained to put all their power and tension into the
upper thigh area, cutting off blood to the lower leg. My arms were
stretching her arms and upper body to the breaking point. At this moment
she just ceased all effort to escape and went limp.
We both knew it was over with no "I give" needed. She had battled
well, but at 18:37 minutes it was all over. They listed it as a "back
headlock/grapevine." Clearly it was, however, the same stretch/scissor
combination I had used in the last submission.
Moments later we were each recovering from that last fall. It was
clear neither of us had any ill feelings. Soon I was trying to show her the
holds I beat her with over an over again. I was indeed very happy in that
the four-month layoff since my last match had not affected my performance
and my lowest-ever weight, 126 pounds, had not hurt either. I had been able
to dominate Linda during the match and pinned her time and again at that
light weight. Most important I had decided to beat her without the full
nelson and headlocks I had used so often against Jo Ann Owens and Jan
Haefner. I have no intention of becoming known as a one- or two-hold
wrestler. I can and will use and win with any hold or holds. I also wanted
to demonstrate my ability to pin a girl at will. Submissions or pins and
submissions make a fine match in my book.
