Oak A Stephens Phone 446 ! 0 OPENING EVENT Tex Hoger vs. Pierre La Belle MAIN EVENT Buck Weaver vs. Lefty Pacer w R E S T L I N G ROSEBURG ARMORY, JUNE 11. 8:30 P. M. Weaver-Pacer Combat And Hager-LaBelie Opener Menu Offered Mat Fans Saturday Although billed as a preliminary, the one-hour, three-fall wres tling battle between Tex Hager and Pierre La Belle at the Roseburg Armory Saturday night will carry more importance than the head liner between Buck Weaver and Lefty Pacer. Ben Sherman, great little grap pier who holds the Pacific coast light-heavyweight mat title, is leaving soon for the Hawaiian Islands where he is taking an unusually fine business oppor tunity. And because of this he has turned over his coveted crown to-Matchmaker Don Owen. Owen has announced that a double elimination tournament will be staged throughout the northwest mostly In Roseburg to find a successor, and desig nated the Hager-LaBelle bout as the first of the series. Hager was extremely Impres sive here last week by defeating tough Tony Filletti and is given a slight edge over LaBelle, whose only recent appearance was in a tag-match in which he and Rene LaBelle defeated Filletti and Tony Ross. The match should be a sci entific classic in which LaBelle's Hungarian leg clutch and drop kicks will be matched by Hager's flying head-scissors and drop kicks. It should be a spectacular skirmish. Although one defeat does not eliminate a contender from the tournament, & victory will go a long way in deciding the eventual winner of the Coast light-heavyweight belt. Weaver is also a contender for the vacated championship, but because Pacer holds a 15-pound weight advantage, the headliner will have no bearings on the tournament. Weaver once held the championship and is confi dent he can regain the title. He will have a rugged time against Pacer, however. , The southpaw from Detroit was impressive here recently when he advanced into the finals of a one-nig',it tournament, only to lose to Rene LaBelle in the final bout. Weaver, the former fancy diver and football star at the University of Indiana, is ex pected to have too -many guns for the 195-poundor. He uses with considerable authority such holds as the neck-breaker, drop kick and flying tackle. The opening bout will got un der way at 8:30 p.m. Elton Owen' is scheduled to reteree both bouts. I p "t 1 ,". ''' ON SATURDAY BILL Headlin er on the weekly wrestling card at the Roseburg Armory tomor row night will be Buck Weaver, at top, who takes on Lefty Pacer. In the first half of the card, Pierre La Belle, lower photo, will be pitted against Tex Hager. Policeman Has Clost Call In Vacation Mishap NeaV tragedy marked Roseburg City Police Sergeant Lloyd Lar sen's two-week vacation, he re lated upon return to duty this week. While motoring to Eastern Ore gon with his wife and three chil dren a front-tire blowout caused the car to carom to the far side of the road. The road paralleled a river and the embankment dropped "almost straight down about 10 feet to the water's edge," Larsen related. "If the car had gone another two feet, It might not have been such a good vacation," Larsen reminded. A pleasant aspect of Larson's Vacation was time spent fishing in Eastern Oregon's Owyhee res ervoir, where bass and crappies were plentiful, and fishing, for salmon later, along the Oregon Coast.
