Although ' Central Catholic, another Portland team, still leads the weekly Asso- , ciated Press poll, Lincoln hna moved into second place only 12 points behind Central. i Bolh teams have similar records: . 19 wins and 2 losses for Central, i 17 and 2 for Lincoln. I By losing its second game last week, a decision to Oregon State's Rooks, the Kams also lost some votes. Eleven sportswriters gave Central first place, two less than last week. Lincoln picked up furr first-place ballots, three more than last week. Salem, dropped to the No. 3 spot for the first time, got the only other vote for first place. The Vi kings were upset by Eugene last week. The Klamath Falls Pelicans were in fourth place. Central had 153 points, Lincoln 141, Salem 120 and Klamath Falls 116. Pirates Rat Sixth Voting dropped off sharply from there. About the only significant change in the standings was Lin coln's upward surge, on the heels of big Wade Ilalbrook's point-making spree 91 against Cleveland high. Behind Klamath Falls, in order, came Grants Pass, Marshfield, La Grande, Astoria, North Bend and Lebanon. Grants Pass and Marshfield held their positions.

Tony Verdi MAIN EVENT Rufus "Pinky" Jones vs. Frankit Stojack First Match Starts 8:30 P.M. ' Douglas county and Roseburg have suddenly become the profes sional wrestling capital of the west, and Matchmaker Elton Owen an nounce that as long as the weekly mat shows continue sell-out crowds. local"fans can be assured of the best talent available. "This is the hottest wreslling area west of the Mississippi at the present time," Owen said, as he booked one of the most torrid hradliners in weeks Rufus i "Pinky" Jones against Frankie Stojack. The match will take top position at the Roseburg armory I arena Salvrday in a three-match program. , A one-fall opener will match Johnny Paavich, the talentpd Hun garian, against I.ou Mecera, the fast-moving French.Canadian from Quebec. The semi-final will send Arne Skaaland, popular Scandina i vian, against Tony Vprdi. the Ital ian from Calgary, Canada. Major attention, of course, will go lo the Jones Stojack bout, a non-title affair but a match in which both hope to gain an engage ment against Soldat Gorky. The winner will definitely be given a headline bout here against the Si berian villain. Title Not At Stake Douglas county fans are divided in their opinions as to which of the two would be more likely lo win against the Russian, so Owen has booked 'em to provide an auto matic decision, Slojack's coast junior heavyweight title will not be at stake, but he'd sooner risk his title than not have a chance for revenge against Gorky. The Russian, who defeated him with his wolf leap a couple of weeks ago, has declined to meet Stoiack in a re-match, but Owen said he will be forced to meet the Stojack Jones winner.
