'" Par of today's effort concerns Atlas: 1
1 v Not the Grecian god, or the gent who makes maps. But about
the chesty (and we do emphasize that) guy who bends iron bars with
his teeth, busts strong ropes with his bare hands, flips opponents
round like pillows and struts like Mr. Cock-a-Doodle-Doo rmif
during his Tuesday night visits , - ; -
to the local Ferry Street Garden
where hell answer, majestically,
to "The Great (Atlas".
The man is strong. He claims
to be the strongest man in the
world. But then there are dthers
who will vow just as openly that
he's a bit tickyj-tock to go around
saying that. Our man is willing
to prove it, however, and with an
amazing array of stunts that re
quire the utmost in muscles. .He
displayed one of the gems hero
last week whenj he took a heavy
Eiece- of construction steel and
ent it first with his teeth and
then wrapped it around one arm.
Figuring the steel might have had
a backbone of rubber, wo strolled
Into the dressing room to give it
the add test ourself. When we
couldn't so much as make it wig
gle with both hands and feet we
were convinced Atlas' huge biceps
nd chest aren't merely there for
looks. w
t From Brooklyn and named Morris Shapiro, . "Atlas Is a com-
Jarative youngster at the muscles business. He's still in his twenties,
aa war service behind him and spent a good many years of hard
work developing his body and strength. His father was a noted strong
man also, but died overstraining himself. The son learned a lot from
the dad and from others such as the late Eugene Sandow, Louis
Cyr and Breitbart,
Amazing Feats? He lias Lots of 'Em -
Besideshis feats with the steel rod, hero are a few other items
"Atlas" has mastered: Hell arch himself backwards across two chairs,
place a board full of tenpenny nails with points down on his chest,
put a heavy anvil atop the board and let you beat on the anvil with
a. sledge hammer. Or, hell tie ropes around his arms, hook them up
to a draft horse on each side and defy the horses, under whip, to puU
his arms apart He'll let any 24 men try the same thing, incidentally.
Then if you're still not convinced as to his ability to "take it", hell let
you take a seven-foot steel rod three-fourth's of an Inch In diameter
and beat him just as hard as you wish across his back.
Holstinr the Iron weights and dumbbells are kids' play for
him. He can also take s five-eighth's Inch hemp rope rood enough
to stand 3501 pounds pressure and pall It apart with his bar
- bands. Or perhaps yen' Alike to see him rnaw on 10-lneh spike
, sad bend it with his teeth. Be can do it. Fact is, bell either
bend the spike or bust the rope as part of hia appearance during
Matchmaker Elton Owen's mat production at the armory tonight.
Really this peacock of wrestling is quite a man. As wo men
tioned, he's Just getting a good start at it So Just waltH the wig
metropolitan villas get a .load of him over television. The tall ego ha
weaves in with his amazing feats could make the wrestling clientele
forget all about pur old friend "Gorgeous George."

lope for tho "local boy makes good" angle here. Tex figures tho

Cahut, start their professional careers right here in the armory dur

baa been a great help in restoring his hearing, la as rugged and game
as they can come. He's been licked in the local ring, but only by
someone who has outslugged him. Dick never has done a nankjob

and SOCE for the meet's third
place slot
The Willamettes, racing in fine,
style up and down the portable
Portland Ice Arena floor, pushed
to a comfortable 37-27 margin at
the half tonight but found rough
going in the second period as their
attack and some hot basket work
by the Loggers' publicized Rollie
McNair gradually pulled the Idaho
crew up to even terms.
In tho first ten minutes of the
second half the WUs tallied only
two points those on a bucket by
Ted Loder. The Loggers crept up
with McNair in the space of two
minutes hitting seven markers in
a row. His gift shot nine minutes
into tho half knotted tho. count at
39- 39 and moments later the Log-'
ger ace put the Idaho gang up
front 40-39. !
Doug Loguo came back with a
charity toss to equalize things at
40- 40 and then Claude Nordhill
bit a 12-f ooter and Logue dumped
in another gifter to lift the 'Cat
margin to 43-40. 1
Dick Fike of the Northern Ida
ho's looped in a field toss and after
Ted Loder hit true with a foul
throw Fike responded with an
other bucket to make it 44-44 with
eight minutes left Nordhill then
pumped in a bonus try to give the
Coach Johnny Lewis' bunch a 45
44 margin and a lead they never
gave up.
Loder, who led the 'Cat scoring
with 13 points, canned a couple of
quick close-in baskets to. lift the
WU's to 49-44 with three minutes
remaining but Fike offset Loders
pair with a brace of his own to
close tho count to 49-48 with 1
aninutes left Hugh Bellinger and
Dick Hilding traded free throws
for a 50-49 reading with just 40
seconds to play. Bellinger then
iced; things for the Bearcats as he!
tossed in two charity shots for tho
final 52-49 count. The Loggers
tried a couple desperation heaves
in the dying moments but failed
to bit
Spark for the Willamettes in
their first-half dirve was Hugh
Bellinger. Hugh was the main
cylinder in the charging WU at
tack. From a close 3-2 advantage
in tho initial three minutes Hugh
was tho big man In opening the
gap as he tossed in six quick
points. Bellinger was close to Lo
der with 12 for the evening.
McNair, one of the top scorers,
in the nation, was high for the
game, however, with 17 off six
baskets and five free tosses.
Tho 'Cats won the tussle from
the gift line. They got 19 field
buckets to Northern Idaho's 21
but bit 14 of 24 free tosses while
Northern Idaho got seven in 16
trios.

The newspaper, In a copyright
article, said tho clubs are tho St.
Louis Cardinals, Philadelphia Ath
letics and Chicago White Sox.
Executives of those major lea
gue teams expressed themselves tn
a survey conducted by the paper,
tho Herald Tribune added.
Chandler had said he would
welcome any new evidence In the
unusual signing of the sensational
Lomita, CailL, schoolboy pitcher.
Bob Cooke, sports editor of the
Herald Tribune, reopened the case
by writing from Hollywood, 1 that
he had "Irrefutable proof Pettit
was signed illegally.
Cooke said he had witnesses
who saw Frank McKlnnoy, presi
dent of tho .Pirates, in the com
pany of Fred StephanL Hollywood
movie producer at Indianapolis
last summer.
Stephani is the agent who sign
ed Pettit to a civil contract before
tho youth had finished high school.
He later sold the contract to the
Pirates, who paid $100,000 in out
bidding several other major league
dubs. Baseball ejubs cant ap
proach athletes until they have
finished high school.
McKlnney said In San Bernar
dino, Calif., he had met Stephani
only once at a social gathering
and baseball was not discussed.
Roy Harney, general manager of
tho Pirates who made tho deal,
said, "as far aa I am concerned
everything was on the up and up."

Preps Rack Up
49-39 Victory
District 11 Tourney
Nearing Finish line
ML Angel's Preps, looking, more
like the quint that copped tho Wil
lamette Valley league champion
ship, last night upended the
Woodburn Bulldogs with a third
quarter surge and advanced to the
finals of the district 11 basket
ball tournament at the Vlk Villa.
The score was 49-39 in the hard
fought struggle, end the big break
in the game came in period three
when Coach Gene Barrett's Hill- ;
toppers broke from behind a half
time deficit to go 10 points ahead.
The Bulldogs, with two losses,
dropped from the tourney ana '
Joined Stayton, SUverton and
Sacred Heart on tho sidelines. The
Preps advance to a Wednesday
night game with Salem's Vikings.
That one starts at eight o'clock
and if the Viks win it the tourney
will be over. Should ML Angel
pull tho upset It will be after, a
final game will be played for the
state tourney ticket Friday night l-
Last night's addition to the an
nual conclave fell right into form.
All playoff games in the meet had
been rowdy-dowdies for action up '
to this one, and it was no differ
ent ''.;.'.'- .
The Preps got off to a good start
in the opening period on baskets
by Ken Payseno, Francis Donley
and Norb Wellman, but . "Mush
Barbour's wee but willing Bull
dogs fought right back to make a
real resale of it on buckets by Len
Pavlicek, Ralph Undseth and Dean
Seaton. It was nip and tuck until
tho outset of the third quarter.
Mt . Angel held a 14-11 first
quarter advantage but Woodburn
went ahead 23-22 at the half.
Then when the third frame start
ed, so did tho Preps. Payseno, .
Donley and Blond Dave Ebner
peppered the Woodburn basket
with a barrage of points to pull
ahead 28-25 with barely three
minutes played. Woodburn rallied'
briefly, but another surge by tho
Preps, with Payseno, Donley and
wellman leading the way, shoved :
tho Mt Angels to a 38-28 advan
tage at tho end of tho frame. That
was the ball game.
The fourth frame was again nip
and tuck, but the Preps had con ,,
structed their margin. They held
it despite determined efforts on ,
the part of the blue-clad Bulldogs.
It was tho cannonading of Pay- '
seno, Donley and Wellman that
put the Preps across. Using a long
one-hand push shot mostly, Pay
seno holed out 19 points for high
honors. Donley added 13, plus a
fine floor game, and Big Wellman :
came In with 12. Pavlicek swished
12 to lead tho Bulldogs and Und
seth had 8.
