Six Top Grapplers Billed For
Battle Royal Here Saturday
The Indians may be on the warpath at tha Roseburg armory
Saturday night, but there are four other wrestlers of considerable
ability who are going to have something to say, or rather do
something, regarding the $250 purse offered the winner in the
battle royal.
The other grapplers anticipate,
and probably correctly, that Yac
qui Joe and his protege. The Yac
qui Kid. will attempt to steal the
show and the dough. But they'll
be meeting some formidable foes
just as potent as the Mexicans,
and before them the Spanish sol
diers who repeatedly subdued the
Yacqui Indians In the bonora
mountains years ago.
Jack Kiser, the handsome Port-
lander, for example. Is a former
coast light-heavyweight champion inevitable coaching, the dynamic,
and a capable performer with his hard-working youngster is a defi
spectacular drop kicks. Pierre La-1 nite contender for the big cut in
Belle, tne t renenman irom Mon-1
treal( is a veteran of the sport and
one vi ine oesi m junuamemai
ists. Tony Falletti, the Brooklyn
Italian, has given up some of his
rugged meanie tactics, but is still
capable of giving an opponent a
lesson. Billy McEuin, the Texas
villain, Is downright mean and
won't give an inch when he starts
tossing those deadly kidney
punches he claims are just as ef-
fective as tomahawks.

ders, scheduled to oppose the
Roseburg Indians Fridav, Sept.
16, at Flnlay field, called off
their football conditioning camp
activity, which was slated to be
held at Lake o' Woods and was
to last three or four days. Coach
Lee Ragsdale reported.
He said the grid candidates
voted not to hold the session at
the lake, since the facilities are
not large enough for the type of
workouts the Black Tornado now
needs.
The mentor pointed out that
the opening tilt at Roseburg is
drawing near and the candidates
must stress drills on plays as well
as conditioning. The Tornado got
off to a late practice start, and
conditioning will be combined
with gridiron strategy.
More room than is available at
the lake camp is the need now,
Ragsdale stressed.
The week so far has been de
voted to plays that will be used
under a relatively new ouense
adopted this year. Most of the
boys have been playing the T-for-mation.
but this year more stress
will be placed on the single wing
with some variations, Ragsdale
said.
