Yep Stan Ward really does belong on that list. You could go thru a lot of Norton guys in that era that were really fine wrestlers. The Tacha brothers were great, Ward, Ankeman, Hackney's, Fisher, Horning, and Lowery were all very very good. I think Ward wrestled at Oklahoma, Horning at Nebraska Omaha, Lowery I think at OU. I didn't like Norton much in my youth but had to tip a hat to them. Says a lot about Jake doesn't it.

About that same time Sainty had the Kellers, Walters, Falkender, a couple of Cooks, Ginger, Cajoi, and some more that I have forgotten about. You think the NWKL wasn't a handful for the rest of us. It sure was.
