For Mat Title Tonight
The Northwest heavyweight mat
title belt recently won by Luther
(The Tank) Lindsey goes on the
blocl for the first time tonight
In a main event match at the
Armory. Luther puts his title up
against Ivan (Killer) Kameroff,
the bruising Russian.
The mix should be a sizzler, for
Lindsey is at his best against the
ge-ts who rough him around. And
roughing people around is Ivan's
pet project. They'll go two out of
three falls, with a one-hour limit.
Kamaroff lost to World Champ
Lou Thesz here two weeks ago,
fans will recall, but managed to
gain a fall on the champion. Lind
. sey was downed by the champ the
next night at Portland, but, also
gained a fall on him.
Three newcomers, all highly rat
ed as topnotchers. dot the three
prelims on tonight's card. In the
special event Gory Guerrero, the
junior heavyweight champion of
Mexico and one who has been seen
many times on the Hollywood TVs

with Sill Fletcher, the fisty belter

(edged to 2-1 Monday as the light
heavyweight champion predicted
he would weigh "1747s pounds" at
the weigh-in for Wednesday's de
fense against the middleweight
king.
Moore boxed two rounds at his
Summit, N.J. camp with sparmaie
Clint Baco and indicated he may
box two more Tuesday, the day
before his most important fight.
Olson shadow boxed, laughing and
joking as he tuned up on the light
bag at his Asbury Park, N J.
camp in his final workout.
While the boxers worked out of
town, Jim Norris, president of he
International Boxing Club, predict :
ed a gate of "$250,000 or more"

be very desirable, if Archie"won
decisively.- However, he also
claimed he would be interested in
an Olson-Marciano match if Bobo
"looked real good."
When the question of Moore's
weight was brought up, Norris
smiled and said he had the weight
checked by "reliable sources" and
had every reason to believe Archie
would make 175 pounds. Dr. Vin
cent NardieUo of the New York
State Athletic Commission nodded
his head in agreement.
Moore Refuses Scales
Although reports from camp in
