Coen then walked Wallick Defeats Dusette On Mat By CHUCK PLUMMER Villainous Leo Wallick defeated Georges Dusette. popular French- Canadian, in a thrilling battle Sat urday night at the Roseburg arm ory. The bout was filled with Wallick's dirty tactics and much slugging between opponents. Wallick took the first fall with a scries of falling hangman's holds, and a body press. Dusette took a terrific beating in the second but. with Wallick again applying Ws hangman's holds, Dusette whirled him around and put on his fam ous full-nelson to take the fall. In the final canto, Dusette sur prised everyone by rushing out of his corner, and proceeded to beat the devil out of Wallick. Wallick finally made his way out of the ropes, and then, rested, he beat the devil out of Dusette, applied his devastating piledriver, and won the fall. The opener, which featured Karl Gray and Johnny Paavich, was almost as exciting as the final. In the first fall, Paavich tied Gray up in the corner ropes, and shoulder butted him in the stom ach. As Paavich ran back to get a run at it, Gray moved and Paa vich hit his head in the corner. Gray immediately picked him up, threw him to the mat on his back a few times and won the fall with a body press. The -second fall was just the op posite of the first. This time Gray had Paavich pinned in a corner and was shoulder butting him in the stomach. On about the third butt, Paavich jumped up in the air, onto Gray's back, and pinned him with a reverse leg nelson. In the final fall, Paavich and Gray staged a furious battle, with very few holds being used. Finally, Paavich shoved Gray into the ropes and on the rebound, smacked him on the chin with a thwack that could be heard all over the audi torium, and pinned him for the three-count.

The putter he used in his blazing journey around the 6.694-yard, par 70 layout was a blade job he had decided to discard. "I picked it up in Memphis three months ago during an exhibition and stored my old brass putter in a garage back home in Fort Worth. "I sent out an SOS for it and it came by air just before we teed off for the playoff round. I didn't change." Coast Conference Has Special Rose Bowl Committee VICTORIA. B. C. June 12.
