Three Torrid Grappling Bouts, Headed By Szasz And Ross, To Greet Fans On Saturday Card Al Szasz' return to the Roseburg Armory Saturday night in a main event-against Tony Ross is stirring considerable interest among uougias county wrestling f ollowers-but . the ringblrds are also talking about the two splendid supporting bouts arranged by Matchmaker Don Owen on the three-star card. s- Rene LaBell, the French-Ca nadian from Montreal, who meets Mike Nazarian, the vil lainous Armenian, in the semi final, Is one oi the most popular grapplers ever to appear here. In fact, mpst Roseburg mat fans believe his current victory march warrants a title engagement with Frankie Stojack. Fans can't remember when the drop-kicking expert last lost in the Roseburg arena. He handed Buck Davidson a beating in his last appearance. "Iron Mike" Nazarian is a rough-and-tough exponent of the hammerlock school and will be a formidable foe for LaBelle. The curtain raiser, getting un derway at 8:30 p. m., also has its attraction. Davidson, the kid- ney-puncning ex-Texas cowpoke, will be meeting a rival who is equally rough and tough in Tony Olivas, the Mexican who wears a cape and chin whiskers. Major interest, of course, will be centered around the Szasz Ross skirmish. Ross has never been guilty of a bad perform ance in Roseburg, although h was defeated by Sugi Havamaki in a "jacket" match in his last local appearance. The fistic minded Ohio villain is expected to give the bounding Hungarian all of the action he wants. The headliners look like "nat ural" opponents. Szasz will match speed and agility against Ross' punches and other usual illegal tactics. The deadly whip-wrist-lock employed by Szasz is con sidered a more effective hold than anything Ross can muster. Elton Owen is scheduled to be on hand to referee all three matches. w E Opening Event- Buck Davidson vs. Tony Alivas Semi-Final Event Rene Labelle vs. Mike Nazarrion Main Event Al Szasz vs. Tony Ross T L I Fri., May 13, 1949 The Newt-Review, Roieburg, Ore. 7 BA O R 1 8K3 ST.
