Proctor Given Chance
To Topple
Little Jimmy Proctor, younger brother of the well-known Powder
Proctor, has a rood chance of upsetting the more experienced Chief
Monty Montgomery when the pair clash in the 10-round main jevent
of the Vets of Foreign Wars ring card at the armory Wednesday
night. That's the opinion of suehl
a ring connolseur as Matchmaker
Tex Salkeld and SalXeld nxeiy is
recalling the two times Proctor
beat Monty when both were ama
teurs.
The younger Proctor, subbing in
the coming bout for injured Paulie
Cook, is said to be imbued with
great quantities of boxing ability
and the one question in lur case
is whether he'll freeze up against
the sharp-hitting chief from Klam
ath Falls. If he doesn't, Montgom
ery may be in for a bad time. One
thing certain. The bout has a good
chance of not going the full route.
Says Proctor: "If I can outbox
Monty I know I can beat him. He
can punch ,but he will have to hit
me to win and I think I am just
too fas for him."
The six-round semi-final Wed
nesday night will pit Irish Johnny
O'Day against Paul Kennedy, an
up-and-coming youngster from
Longview.
The prelims will see Salem's Ab
ney brothers resuming action. In
the top four-rounder Dean Abncy
clashes with Kelly Jackson, Port
land welterweight, and another
four heat go puts brother Bud up
against Al Cliff. The clouters in
the third prelim mix will be an
nounced later.
Interest in the coming bout in
dicates the gate may be one of the
biggest of the year. Tickets go on
sale at Maples Monday.

there without liberal substitu

Close 19-13 Victory
MONTGOMERY, Ala., Dec. 25-
VPl-A pair of fast, tricky backs and
. . . ii
a line tnat wouian i oacK up gave
the Yankee All-Stars a 19-13 vie
tory in the annual Blue-Gray grid
iron battle here today.
It was the Blues' first win In
three years and even the weather
man seemed to have the spirit of
the North. A sudden cold spell
sent the temperature near the
freezing point after days of spring
like warmth.
Big Veto Kissell, pile driving
fullback from Holy Cross, was the
ground-gaining performer who at
tracted most attention. He hit the
Rebel line 14 times for a net gain
of 62 yards.
George Guerre, 157 pounds of
speed from Michigan State, did all
right for himself, too. He carried
the ball 13 times and netted 30
yards.
Brown University's Ed Finn ac
counted for another 60 yards by
completing three out of 10 passes,
outshining the Gray's aerial ace,
Bobby Thomason of VMI.
Both the Rebel touchdowns came
on opponents' fumbles.
Two of the Yankee scores came
on passes, the otner on a une
plunge.

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 25-rV
Stanford's Indians and the veter
an-manned Oregon State team will
go into action as about equal
choices to win the first annual Pa
cifi : Coast Conference Invitational
Basketball tournament, starting
here Monday.
The three-day competition at
the massive Cow Palace will con
tinue Dec. 28 and conclude Dec. 30.
Oregon State and University of
Southern California will pair off
in the first round opener, Mon
day at 2 p. m, (PST). Washington
State and the University of Cali
fornia at Los Angeles will follow
at 3:45 p. m. Oregon and Stanford
meet at 8 p. m. and Washington
takes on California at 9:30 o'clock.
Eight victories and no defeats
earned Stanford the role of co
favorite. The Indians' opposition
included Michigan, Yale, St
Mary's and Santa Clara, besides a
strong club team. Coach Everett
Dean has three scoring threats in
George Yardley, Bill Stephenson
and Dave Davidson. Also plenty
of height under the baskets with
all five starters over 6 feet s
inches.
Oregon State, although going in
to the tournament with only a
six and four won-lost record this
season, has most of the personnel
back from last year's northern di
vision co-championship team. Ed
lemming and Ray Snyder are two.
promising junior college transfers.
Cliff CrandaU, two-time All Coast
selection, is the Beavers' floor:
leader.
Although Washington State has
been undefeated in ten games thus
far, the Cougars have not faced as
much top-flight opposition. Con
sequently they are virtually un
tested. The W. S. C. offense re
volves around Ed Gayda and Bob
Gam bold.
The Southern California Trojans
started their 1948-49 schedule
picked by many as a strong threat
for the conference title, the regu
lar schedule for which play begins
in January.
