Vargas Plans To Knock Out Ed Machen PORTLAND. Ore. (CPU Rue ben Vargas, an unranked cam paigner with an in-artd-out record, predicted today he would knock out heavyweight challenger Eddie Machen in their iscluxluled 10 round bout at the Oreson Centen nial Grounds Thursday fnight. "I think 1 11 stop -turn with a right hand," says Vargas, who lost a decis'on to Kfochen in San Francisco in (he Vial outing for lioth men. : , ' I Tim battle will lie televised na tionally with a 20U nule blackout in the Purtlund urea.

U'PH Heavyweight Kd lie Machen, who holies for (mother chance at Inge mar Johansson, meets Hueben Vargas here tomorrow night in a nationally-televised light. Vargas, too, hoies for a shot at the champion in a non-title Ixiiit if he i,els by Machen. Machen, Ihe burner Bedding, t'alil , fighlcr who observed his 27lh birthday July 15. defeated Vargas in San Francisco last Mnv. l or many months he was considered the logical contender for Ihe heavyweight crown. Then last year he ran into Johans son's right hand in Sweden and was ko'il in the first round. But his showing against the Swede seems not so poor in view of Ihe l'allei son Johansson bout recently. Kddit now is ranked filth by King Magazine and sixth by the National Boxing Associa tion. If he gels by Vargas again he may be on Ihe road back. The bout will be held at the Oregon Centennial l;.osilioii Grounds. II will otfer diversified boxing styles. Vargas is a free wheeling puncher villi power but little boxing finesse. Machen is a stand-up boxer who likes to use his led in consislent jabbing from a sale distance. x BROWNS SIGN HOWTON I CLF.VF.LAND UP1 Billy llowlon, one of Ihe Nationul Foot-i ball League's outslaadniA pass re-1 ceivers for the past seven sea-j sons, has signed his contract I with the Cleveland1 Browns.
