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.
