Oct. 1, 1949 -Tho News Dusette, Weaver Will Battle Tonight For Wrestling Title The Roieburg wrestling fans are getting a treat Saturday night at the wrestling arena, when Matchmaker Elton Owen pre sents Georges Dusette and Buck Weaver in a Pacific Coast light heavyweight title bout. The last time these two met here in a title bout, Weaver won the match on a disqualification ever the French-Canadian. All night, Weaver had been climbing through the ropes wherever Dusette came close to putting on hit strong full-nelson. Finally Dusette tired of having the Indianan run out on him, so he fol lowed him out of the ring and began to bounce hit head on the floor and ring's edge. Naturally the referee had no alternative but to award the match to Weaver on a foul. Pro-Dutette fans hollered long and loud but to no avail. The fant are tired of Weaver't ways, cocky and sure, and will welcome e defeat for him. Dusette it just the man to do it to him, providing Weaver holds ttill and doesn't climb on his bicycle. In the opener Carl Myers, newcomer from Milwaukee, Wis., will take on Hungarian Al Szasx. It should be a terirfie crowd pleaser. Ex-Leaguer Waits Outcome Of Yankee-Card Struggles By "PICK" MALARKEY Out at the veteran's hospital near The Grove there is a sturdy, better than six footer, by the name of Bruce Hitt who is following the struggles of the New York Yankees and the St. Louis Cardinals as they battle down the home stretch in the American and National leagues. Hitt has more than a passing interest In the last drive, be cause in 1917 he pitched for the St. Louis club, then after two years in the Navy young Hitt followed the Cardinal manager Miller Huggins to the Yankees. With the Yankees the year Bruce broke in was the great Babe Ruth playing the out field. Before joining the Navy and while with St. Louis, he had a good season. Won a few more than he lost. Hitt was just a kid from a small high school at Indian Gap, Texas, when Miller Huggins brought him to the St. Louis organization. After the first sea son up with the Yankees a sa lary dispute arose and Bruce played sem-pro ball. Back with the Yankees in '21 he had a not-so-good season and was traded to the Kansas City Blues of the and Strickllng completed a pass to End Dale Blanck on the 30, as the half ended. Roseburg kicked off to Myrtle Point in the second half and the Pointers began another march from their own 25. Krantz ran to the 35, where Compton, on a re verse, took off for 45 yards to Roseburg's 20. The Roseburg line stiffened and the Bobcats lost the ball on downs. Later In the period, Clarno started his own scoring drive. First he ran around right end for 22 yards to the Roseburg 18. Then he picked up a lateral from Quar terback Rick Bingham and ran to the six. From there he scored around left end to give the Point er's their final 19 point edge. Play bogged down in the fourth quarter, but Myrtle Point again reached scoring position when End Marv Hammack intercepted a pass by Roseburg Quarterback Ron Strlckling on his own 5 and ran it to the Roseburg six. But Roseburg's line held again and kept Myrtle Point from scoring. There were no more threats in the final period. The center of Roseburg's line, including Jim Shrum, George Packard, Bill Wagner, Durward Boyles, and John Raushert, are to be commended on their play. Paul H. Krueger 636 8.

The oil wells of Texas called and the ex-big leaguer followed construction work with the Big Lake company and the McGuff interestes. "If the Yankees and Cardinals Flay it off for the world series got to pull for St. Louis.
