He states that every time be wrestles the Reedsporl editor he learns something about the game and for that reason likes to meet him. Ar thur has been noted for liking the tough ones anyway. May Meet Reed At Cleveland Soon In his last bout with Reed here he lost eight pounds. Arthur prob- ablv will not meet Reed here again as Reed is going back to the middle west soon. However, Arthur has been asked to meet him In Cleveland before long and & full house expected there. Ar thur stated Monday that Reed could not be fooled in a wrestling match and Arthur really ought to know. Metropoulos is out here with the Intention of taking the cham pionship belt back with him. He was above Arthur in the recent WTestllnx tournament and Ernie 1 Is now going to try to even the count. Young Billy Edwards will meet Art O'Reilly, the Eugene terrier In & preliminary bout. Judging from previous performances of the two, this might turn out to be a cry baby contest. However, most of that has been staged for effect and each contestant can do some good wrestling in addition to the vaudeville acts. successor-Tb mMl CHARLEY UJH iYBi AS CHICAGO LEFrHOOKiKIA0GVv7 C King Fr.-iturrs Syndicate, Iwe., t'.rrnt Britain righta rnfrrnL ' U I-?

The left-hook is probably the most effective punch in boxing. uempsey rose to the top of the heap behind that iron left fist of his, and back in other days Charlev n one, unicago iienvweient. suc ceeded in earning several title shots because of his potent left hook. Charley never seemed to be able to crash through, but Leonard and others who held the title throughout White's hey-day, had many anxious moments when that old left-hook swished through the air. Petrolle, right now, Is riding the crest ef the wave. His recent knockout of the youngster, Billy Townsend, at Madison Square Garden, showed that Billy sou has what it takes. In the first round he plunked over that left-hook of tim avtf Tatw fan A a Vinelrv Kw4.. fighting welter, crashed to the mat. tie managed to rise and stick around for a while longer, but each time Petrolle hooked over that left things happened. There are no frills about this Express from Fargo. No fuss and no flourishes. Just plain socking without the gestures. That left hook of his seems to have a pe culiar delayed action. The recipient of a sock on the whiskers from Billy's left seems to crumple slow ly, and then spread out on the canvas all-of-a-sudden like. Yes. this "old" guy in the brown blanket is still poison to the op position and it won't surprise us if he goes on to a victory over lnzonen in their proposed tite First Methodist church basket- eers toppled the Evangelical quin tet from its undefeated status in the Church league Monday night by virtue of a 21 to 16 victory, forcing the Evangelicals to share their top position with the Pres byterians.

Let's turn our attention to an other left-hook specialist, Ray Miller. Kay nas been around a long time. But it seems as long as a left-hook retains its potency its owner will be in demand at least by promoters and fans. Miller, who has of late been play ing the tank circuit, crashed through to a main bout at the Garden a few weeks back, when he was matched to meet the feather weight champ, Bat Battalino. But the N. T. Commission stepped in and shattered Ray's dream of get ting on the big time. The commis sioners ruled that Bat would have to fight someone In his class, therefore Miller was sidetracked. But hell be back, for the Garden management is anxious to have him show that left-hook of his against worth-while opposition. Yes, the left-hookers have it I OmrtiM, ltn. By Elac rattmi ayadfcmto.

(AP) The new and heavier golf ball is making so many successful as saults on par during the winter tournaments in the west and the south that Albert R. Gates, ad ministrator of the Professional Golfers' Association of America, is hopeful it ultimately will be recognized as the international sphere. "So far, in the professional as well as the amateur tournaments this winter, the new ball has made great hit," Gates said, "and I am more hopeful than ever Eng land and other powers in the world of golf will soon accept it as the international ball. "Records of the tournaments played so far with the new ball show it has-trimmed tournament scores from three to four strokes below last year when the lighter and larger pellet was used. Al most all of the pros tell me it is a wonderful putting ball far bet ter than any ball they ever played while it cuts the wind better." In the new ball's first test, Light Horse Harry" Cooper of Chicago galloped home with top money in the Pasadena open with a 72-hole score of 281 or six shots lower than the winning total of 287 compiled by Tony Manero of New York with the old ball last year. Tommy Armour of Detroit came in with the next argument by' hammering out a Tecord 285 to capture the $2500 Miami open, nine shots lower than that turned in by Joe Turnesa of New York In 1931. It got another series of mad, merry rides from MacDonald Smith of New York in the rich Los Angeles open championship. The plodding scot snatched a wide lead with rounds of (9 and 68 and then played safe golf for a pair of 72s to win the bag of gold and top honors for the third time. His 72-hole total of 281 or three under par, was four shots lower than the winning total by Sid Dud ley in 1931. Despite some adverse playing conditions, Fred Morrison of Cul ver City. Cal., swung through mud and rain to win the Agua Callente open with a score nine shots low er than those turned in by George Von Elm and Johnny Golden in 1931. Morrison toured the Augua Callente layout in 284 strokes. WflODBURK TO PLAY CLACKAMAS QUINT WOODBURN, Jan. 25. Hoping 10 oreas a long string of defeats. wooaburn high school's basket ball team will invade Canbv Tues- day afternoon to play that town's quintet of hoopsters. aiA . Aimougn an indications are that Canby will have the upper nana or the Bulldogs, Wood- burn's team may possibly pull surprise. Canby beat Molalla by a large score; Woodburn beat Mo lalla once by a very small mar gin and the next time were de feated by the Indians. Since the last Molalla game, however. Woodburn has shown a great deal of Improvement. Woodburn's play against Silverton Friday was much better than has been seen yet this season, even though the Bulldogs went down in defeat. Miller will probably Btart Nel son, Thomas, Pardy, Jackson and Manley Ramsdell. Delmer Rams dell will also probably see service. feating Oddone Piazza, sturdy youth of Milan, Italy, In the sixth round of their scheduled ten round battle. Jones won on a technical knock out after battering Piazza to a pulp for four rounds. The negro completely outclassed and outbox- ed his foe in every round except the first. He was slow to start but after warming up to his task with the beginning of the third round, the result seemed to be a fore gone conclusion. Soon after the start of the sixth round, Jones forced the Italian to the ropes, nailing him on the chin with heavy rights and lefts and then switched his attack to the body.

Some times the Indians haven't been so hot this season and then again they walloped Woodburn Just as decisively as Salem did. . The past Northwest conference football season still comes in tor some talk by fraternity groups and other gatherings at Willam ette university and will for sev eral years to come. ' However at the present there Is more specu lating being done about the com ing basketball season and Just how! far Coach "Spec" Keene's big men will get In the' confer ence race. - In early season games the . Bearcats pulled out a .500 per cent rating from 12 games. The Bearcats may hit Just a . little higher thaa that mark la . the Northwest conference, but there is no indication that they will equal last season's record of only one conference defeat, or for that matter the record of no conference defeats two years ago. Willamette has one advantage at the start, that of meeting a team which though not a setup. is neither the strongest in the conference. Albany college will be me Friday and Saturday of this week. The rirates nave ai ready lost two games to Whit man, both In Walla Walla, but Coach "Slim" Balcom's men gave the Bearcats a scare last season at Albany and playing at home, win give plenty of concern.

Dempsey Faces Christner Soon CLEVELAND, Jan. 25 (AP) Promoter Joe Lewis announced tonight that K. O. Christner of Akron, veteran heavyweight, had been selected as Jack Dempsey's opponent for a four round match here Feb. 11. Christner was se lected after Johnny Rlsko, Cleve land baker boy, refused to fight under ten rounds. Bearcats Do Light Work, Face Exams Coach "Spec" Keen gave his basketball squad only a short workout Monday and will contin ue with light sessions the first part of this week to give his men time for their final examinations. Friday night the Bearcats meet the Albany college Pirates at Al bany and then Saturday night will play the same team here. Coach Keene is not too sure of the Al bany games as he will not have time to stress all the points In practice this week which he would like to. However, he is of the opinion that the team may hit a better stride soon and be up to form for the conference race, which will be the hardest In years. Keene was well satisfied with the showing made against the veteran Multno mah club and believes that his team will continue In that stride One weakness for some time has been the center position. Kloostra started the season bril liantly, having a dead eye for the basket. Lately he has played rather listless ball, but will prob ably perk up soon. He's had a hard time to get Into tip-top con dition, buf appears to be close to it now. ill occupy most of the time In practice this week, with perhaps some tip-orf plays Thursday.
