Semi-Finals In Titular Grapple Tourney Dated The semi-finals of the double elimination tournament to deter mine a successor to Ben Sherman's vacated Pacific Coast light-heavyweight wrestling crown will be held Saturday night at the Roseburg armory. Principals in the two hour-long semi-final matches will be Tex Hager and Billy McEuin in the first set-to and the Yaqui Kid and Buck Weaver in the last match. Last week Georges Dusette , Pierre LaBelle and Klser were eliminated from the running. The two winners of Saturday's semi-finals will meet in Rose burg next week for the title plus a fat $200 purse being put up by the promoters. The unpopular Weaver who has announced his intentions to go at any lengths to gain the title, needed police protection to retire from the ring last week after BONE TWISTERS The Yaqui Kid, at top, and Buck Weaver, lower photo, will stage the main event in the weekly wrestling show at the Roseburg armory Saturday night. .'; using unscrupulous methods to defeat Kiser. As Klser had the villain down he reached from behind and patted him on the back, causing Kiser to think he had won the match, whereupon he released his hold, and Weaver went on to win. Kiser's younger brother, Dale, was at ringside and took a poke at Weaver, with a fight ensueing. As a result all the other three grapplers in the tourney have vowed to see that Weaver doesn't win the title. But Weaver's chances appear fairly good in spite of the fact he's facing the sensational Kid Saturday. The other semi-final between Hager and McEuin looms as a toss-up with perhaps a slight edge going to the rough and tough Texan, McEuin. The News-Review classified ads bring best results. Phone 100.
