General Note

Accompanying note: "One of the high-lights of the alligator wrestling at Tropical Hobbyland Indian Village, 1525 N. W. 27th Ave., Miami, is when Jackie Willis tucks the dangerous jaws under his chin and releases his hand hold. Alligator Wrestlers are unarmed, and their only protection is a thorough knowledge of the animal's habits and anatomy."
