' i The city remained calm. Even with fine, clear weather forecast for fight time at 10 pjn. (7 P-m-, PST), the ticket sale did not spurt and the promoters were resigned to a gross gate, of under $200,000. 1 This would be, roughly, $62,000 less than was paid to see Willie . Pep lose his featherweight toga to Sandy Saddler three weeks ago. It is not that the name of Joe Louis has lost its magnetic qual ity. The great negro fighter who held the title for nearly 12 years before he retired 18 , months ago still is the greatest individual at traction in any branch of sports. But the word has been spread by every medium available that Joe4 -and Ezzard will fight before the television cameras and it has had a distressing effect upon-the box office. f Louis effort to become the first heavyweight in history to regain the big title will be screened in the .homes and taverns of 32 princi- ' (Continued on next page) Hopeful Orange For Go I I - A mebacKA OREGON STATE ' COLLEGE, CorvaHis, SepL 26 (Special) "Oregon State's football forces this week embarked on a comeback trail which they hope will lead to an upset victory over title favored Stan ford at Corvallis on October. 7. The Beavers are idle this week end and Coach Kip Taylor wel comes the open Saturday as he has a little black book full of mistakes to be ironed out ' following 'last Saturday's disappointing 38-13 loss to Michigan -State at East Lansing. Although the Orange absorbed a decisive licking from the Spartans, there were a couple of bright spots in the picture. A sharp Beaver passing attack accounted for 13 completions in 25 attempts and two touchdowns.- Gene Morrow, ace OSC quarterback, hit 12 out of 22 shots for 130 yards. Even In a losing effort Taylor's men rolled up 19 first downs, just one less than the victors. But sev en bobbles by OSC backs halted promising drives and on at least two occasions led directly to Spar tan touchdowns. Ragged blocking and tackling al so brought sorrow to Taylor and resulted in a return to heavy em-' phasis on fundamentals in drills this week. Considerable shakeup can be expected in the left side of the line where MSC made most of its ground gains. . The Beavers came through the opener without serious injury and should be at full strength for Stan lord. Ralph Carr, first string right halfback-, received a bad bruise on bis back in the early minutes of the game and is taking it easy .this week. Jim Hanker, Cliff Snider end Bob Cornelison, who did not , snake the trip because of injuries, probably will be ready for Stan ford. The name is still Lonis. And fast is why Bomber Joe goes into . the ring the favorite tonight in his title mix with Ezxard Charles. The name is unchanged bnt Joe is physically by a half-dozen , years and close to 2 pounds, mostly around the midriff. Yes, the Lonis name retains its marie but seme of the boys are wonder ing if that magic Is strong- enough to mesmerize the speed of the much younger Charles. . . . So, take your pick, gents. Personally, we're reluctant to wager against the Brown Bomber (as who ain't) " but we have a sneaking bunch that Charles': speed will be the decisive factor tonight. . . . Jtobinaonll Recover - .

Gorky 'Jump' AgainWinner In Mat Melee Ivan Gorky, a cross between a bearded rasslin' hoodlum, public speaker, self-professed wolf man and general all-around stinker, last night again used his punish ing "Russian Jump" hold to cap ture the main event victory over George Dusette in their grudge rematch at the armory. But the payoff didn't come un til after George kept his promise of "stretching the Gorky neck plenty." Dusette captured the op ening fall of the slam-bang brawl with his full nelson special, and in the process managed to give Ivan's neck a sizeable streching. But Gorky's rabbit punches and jump more than evened things in' the second fall. He hopped on Dusette's neck twice with the vi cious weapon and did such a good job of it George couldn't return for the final fall. In between falls Gorky tried to address the gathering via the pub lic address system. But he got as far as you can throw a freight train with one hand. All he did get was a barrage of vocal razz berries. The match climaxed a fuU card of sizzling action. All prelims were sharp. In the opener Mr. Sakata and Karl Grey tussled to a no-fall draw. In the No. 2 mix George Craig downed Cowboy Ace Abbott in the only fall. Then in the special, a whale of a match all the way,' Eddie Williams and Boy Bandit Hessell battled. to draw, Hessell taking the first flop with a trigger hold and Wil liams the second with head snap pers.

The Tiger pilot continued, We had a million chances to win that first game and got beat by a pit cher, -Don Johnson, who didn't have much out there." i "The way we're hitting, a kid out of the sandlots would have looked good against us."
