"The Albert Lea Tigers had headed to the mats. A straggler, a block of a kid named Jeff Long, smiled at Jean and said: "Come on, Chicken Wing. I got something for you today. Many years ago, Manny Holmes was the 167-pounder for Mason City (Iowa) Community College. The Iowa State freshmen were scheduled to wrestle Manny's team. A quote from Holmes in the Mason City newspaper - "It's too bad Jean won't be down to 167 for this match" - made its way to Ames.
"I cut 33 1/2 pounds in three days to get to 167," Jean said. "Manny was down 17-1 when I pinned him."
Please, young Jeff Long, take this advice: When referring to Chuck Jean as "Chicken Wing," never forget to smile. "
