He wanted to Dick his own ref eree, which was not agreeable and for that reason he has been matched with Cal Roberts, young Canadian. Roberta and Davidson have been booked for the special three tall opener, getting under way at 8:30 p. m., and the match may attract nearly as much attention as the "Battle of the Biceps," be tween The Great Atlas and Georges Duset.te.

Davidson and the referee were all covered with blood, and Roberta may give the villain from the southwest as tough a tilt. Roberts, only 24 years of age and only a year out of the amateur ranks, is consid ered one of the finest young mat men ever to appear In Oregon. An experienced hand-balancer, Roberts Is extremely agile. He uses a flying head scissors ef fectively. Although Davidson uses both a headlock and surfboard, the Texan is certain to turn to fisti cuffs. "If you think I was rough with Strickland," Davidson said, "wait until you see what I do to this ycung upstart of a Rob erts." While the opener will prob ably be a donnybrook, interest is centered around that Atlas-D'j-sette skirmish in which the Fernch-Canadlan hopes to even the score. But the former "Mr. America" from Hollywood says he will take Dusette in stride that his powerful shoulders and arms will send his foe to the mat with ease. That, according to lo cal rlngblrds, they'd like to see, they challenge. .

Oma's Manager Caneali Louis Fight, Says He's Already 'Come Back' DETROIT, Dec. 9 OP) Joe Louis, a terror of the prize ring ior it years, is iinaing nn re tlrcment a .problem. The former heavyweight cham pion s exniDition tour evidently has gotten away from him. He sas's emphatically he's nor. interested in a comeback, but the "big money" proposals again are being waved at him. The management of Lee Oma, who withdrew from a scheduled exhibition go with the Brown Bomber here next Wednesday, offers $35,000 for a "real fight." And Jake Mintz, co-manager of NBA Champion Ezzard Charles, wants a match next sum mer between his man and Louis. He sees a "million dollar gate." It's all somewhat confused. Louis says: "I'm enjoying mv retirement. I definitely have no plans for a comeback. But Tex Sullivan, Oma's man ager, observes: "That guy Is In there throwing bombs. They're not exhibitions. They're real wars. Take It from me. Me a already come back." One-Armed Boy Plays NORTHAMPTON. Mass..

Bobby has been playing bas ketball since he was able to hold one in his hand. His left arm was amputated when he was sev en after an accident. The 16-year-old 180-pound jun ior finished up the football sea son last month as a first string center. Certain types of television in terference which make themsel ves known visually are called "snow" because they look Just like that on the screen. suburban Phone 66 READY FOR OPENER Bill Van Horn, 18-year-old varsity In dian's forward, who plays his last season with the Roseburg 3uintet this year, is expected to carry a big share of the load uring the coming season. One of three returning lettermen (Dale Blanclc is still out with a lame limb), Van Horn played varsity reserve forward on the 1948 Indian squad. Tonight, the Indians open against Cottage Grove there. Both clubs wind up a two game series the 5emor high gymnasium. Hoop Season Underway Indians Will Vie At Cottage Grove Tonight Thirty one Indian varsity and junto or varsity Dlavers climbed aboard a Cottage Grove -bound bus this afternoon to start the basketball season off at that city. Coaches Jack Newby and Norm West accompanied the players. A light practice session ended pre-season drills for the Indians at the senior high gymnasium Thursday evening. Tonight, the Indians put their learning to the initial test. The Indians clav their first foe untested and inexperienced, with the exception of two players back Irom last year. Dexter Garey may not start tonight, although he win accom pany the team. Coach Newby said tne diminutive starter irom last year's first string Indian squad came down with a sudden attack of flu, but it is a mild case and all precautionary mea sures were taken to make cer tain the bug doesn t run amok. Player Breaks Hand Another touch of ill-luck hit the varsity when Larry Henninger, 16 -year old senior, broke his hand Wednesday evening during practice. The break didn't show up until an x-ray was taken Thursday. He Is expected to be out for some time. That puts three men on the sick list and takes a lot of talent out of the varsity. Dale Blanck was benched earlier after a tus sle with a power saw. Coach Newby emphasized he had no starting lineup picked as of late Thursday night, but he said that if the game was to be played at the moment he was asked, he would pick the follow ing: Forwards Jerry Sconce ana Kce uriggs; center, f rank Olson; guards, Gordon Conley and Mickey Coen. Later he amended the lineup to read as follows: Bill Van Horn and Kee Brlggs, forward: Frank Olson, center; Mickey Coen and Jerry Mathews, guards. He then added that either group might start. Who the start ers actually will be is anyone's guess, he concluded. Norm West was equally mys terious about his starting lineup. To hear him tell It, it is the worst kind of luck to pick the starters at any time before five minutes to game time. He said he'd wait and see how the boys handle the ball during warmup tonight, before making up his mind on the Initial quin tet.

The two clash for the second time in Madison Square garden and the stout-hearted little swinger from Paris will have most of the anticipated 12,000 customers rooting for him. Anvil-chinned Jake never has been any too popular in his home town and the rank decision he received over Villemaln last March 25 didn't boost his fan mail. The busy little Parisian swarmed all over the Bronx Bull and won handily In the opinion of 19 of 20 boxing writers at the ringside. Villemaln will be an underdog at about 12 to 5. He has to weigh at least 161 pounds so Jake's 160 pound diadem won't be at stake and he may be too slow at the weight. LaMotta has to come within 166 pounds by contract FIGHTS LAST NIGHT (By Tht Associated Presst) SYRACUSE. N. V SmIm. 1R.1. Donors. Pa., outpointed Georges Chape, Paris, Prance. 10. MIAMI. Fla.
