Dragons Edge
Out Bend (5'
In Hard Game
Hood River's fast-breaking Blue
Dragons, paced by Buettgenbach
and Glbbs, edged out the Lava
Bears 29 to 27 here last night In
an inter-district basketball game
featured by a spectator-wilting
finish. Trailing through the en
tire contest, with the halftime
score standing 17 to 8 in favor of
the visitors, the Bears gradually
whittled down the Dragons' lead,
with Doug Wirtz firing the shot
at the closing whistle that reduced
the gap to a mere two points.
The two quintets, old rivals on
football gridirons and basketball
courts,, will renew their feud to
night at 8 o'clock, and one of the
closest battles of the season is in
prospect. Last season, it was Bend
that eased the Dragons out of a
trip to Salem for tournament play,
and the boys from the mid-Columbia,
coached this year by Walter
Buettgenbach, formerly of the
University of Denver, are out to
even old scores.
Gibbs, O'I.eury Star
Shooting baskets last night for
the Dragons were a number of
boys well known to Bend grid
fans. It was Gibbs and O'Leary,
fans will recall, who tossed and
received the passes last fall that
provided for the Bears one of their
toughest games of the season.
Bud Gibbs, high point man In
the 48 to 28 Hood River victory
over Prinevllle Thursday night,
failed to achieve high honors last
night, primarily as a result of
close guarding by the Bears. Wirtz
of Bend and Buettgenbach of
Hood River shared high point hon
ors, each scoring 10, but Biggs
was close behind with 9.
In play last night, the Dragons
took an early lead over the Bears
and were never headed. The visit
ors held a 7 to 4 lead at the end
of the first quarter, then held the
Bears to four points in the second
quarter to move into a 17 to 8 lead
at halftime. At the end of the third
quarter, the Dragons were leading
'22 to 14. It was then that the
Bears, In a state of flux most of
the evening while combinations
were given workouts, started
playing. Wlrtz and James were
largely responsible for the scores
in the final quarter that moved
the Bears within striking distance
of the Dragons.
Lead Cut Down
With less than a minute to play,
Hood River led 27 to 25. Hood
River dropped in a basket to push
the score up to 29 to 25 as the
timer counted the seconds and
Bend took the ball from the back
board. Down the floor raced the
Bears, and not far from the center
Wlrtz let fly a howitzer shot that
went through the basket without
touching the rim.
The Bears last night converted
seven out of 10 free throws for
their hem showing of the season, I
with Wirtz leading In this depart
ment. The Dragons converted only
five out of 15 gift shots. One tech
nical foul was charged against the
visitors.
Hood River's victory over the
Bears was largely duu to the cool
ness of the mid-Columbia bovs
under fire. Not once did I hoy lose
their defense pattern, and their
backboard work was brilliant.
Bend learned from the hall-hawking
Pelicans in last week's play a
few points about aggressiveness,
and used this to advantage In
rushing the Dragons, swiping the
ball out of the visitors' hands on
n few occasions and breaking up
passing attacks.

By Jack Cuddy
(United 1'reM Staff Correspondent)
New York, Jan. 13 mi Por
trait of a patriarch "who had a
body and kept it:"
One night, about five years ago,
we were sitting with Jack Demp
sey In his bistro when he asked:
"Did you see that story outta
Nevada about 80-ycar-old Dan
Connors, the old bare-knuckle
lighter, knockin' out two wl3e
guys?"
At our nod, Mr. Manassa con
tinued triumphantly, "Well, old
Dan proves my point what 1
been sayln' a long time that the
big difference between modern
fighters and the old-timers is the
body. The old-timers developed
strong, tough bodies through
hard work and hard trainin'; but
the moderns don't. What a body
Connors musta had to be knock
In' guys out at 80!"
This conversation was recalled
today when we received a letter
from Sports Editor Ty Cobb of
the Nevada State Journal at
Reno. Ty Informed us that old
Dan had died recently in a Reno
hospital at 85.
Ty figures the old-timers along
Jacobs' beach would like to
know he was right. Word that
"Professor Connors was dead
brought back many memories and
evoked many stories from chaps

Johnston and Phil Lewis. They
are too young to have been con
temporaries in Connors' bare-fist
battling days of the late '70's and
80s, but Ihey knew of his prog
ress and were his intimates later
in certain phases of his kaleido
scopic career.
Phil Lewis, an elderly manager,
said, "The professor was a bug
on training because condition
meant so much to him when he
was fist-fighting around the east
ern cities usually under torch-
lights in barns, in farm fields or I
on river banks. It was illegal

heavier; and the fights went any
number of rounds, sometimes
more than 50. He had to be in
fine condition to survive."
Later, when restrictions on
fighting relaxed a bit, Connors
toured with vaudeville troupes,
offering $100 to anyone in the
house who could stand up to him
for four rounds. He was a friend
of John L. Sullivan, Jake Kilrain,
Jack McAuliffe and Steve Brodie.
He opened a gymnasium in New
York and gave boxing lessons,
and was called "Professor."
The nattily-attired sandy-haired
professor was hired by newspa
pers to "expert" fights for them
to do blow-by-blows and to draw
diagrams of where telling blows
landed. He covered the Fitzsim-mons-Corbett
bout at Carson City,
Nev., in 1897,-and resolved to re
turn later to Nevada, which he
did. He married the widow of
John Piper, who owned tho fa
mous Piper's Opera house in Vir
ginia City, and made his head
quarters in Virginia City run
ning the Opera house for many
years.
Meanwhile he managed fight
ers. His best was Frank Erne,
who became lightweight cham
pion. He took a Virginia City
miner, Jim Fell, and brought him
east where he stunned New York
sportsmen by giving the original
Jack Dempsey, "The Nonpareil,"
a terrific beating in an exhibition.
Fell, a Cornlshmnn, understood
It was to be merely a fancy-box
ing, but after Dempsey slugged
him a couple, he stepped back
and asked: "Is thee really fight
ing?" then ho tore in.
Despite his multiple activities
in the theatrical, mining and box
ing games, the "professor" kept
ill excellent physical condition by
daily exercise. He marched into
the SO's swinging the Indian clubs
and punching the bag still able
to belt guys out. The old-time
fist-fighter developed a good body
and he kept it.

day in and out of traps but still
managed to chalk up a 69.
"I was in the woods so much I
felt like a lumberjack," the ex
navy man from White Sulphur
Springs, Va., moaned.
Despite many flukes, Snead
managed.. Remarkable recoveries
to ,keep his score within range of
the other favorites. But, it was
not the same golf Snead had
played in the tuneup rounds, when
he toured the par-71 course in
G6's. -
Nelson missed a chance to take
the top spot and turn in a 66 when
his ball nestled in a tree crotch on
the ninth. He took six strokes on
the par four hole.
Lt. Maddon is a pilot of a B-17.
His wife is tho former Miss Edith

Jack Huber Wins
Oyer Johnstone
Portland, Ore., Jan. 13 IP
Sailor Jack Huber, heavyweight
pride of the Coast Guard unit at
Garibaldi, Ore., belted Dave
Johnstone, Swan island shipyard
rigger, all over the ring here last
night and won a decision.
But the show was stolen by
Juan Suarez, 145, a Mexican who
.did the unexpected by knocking
out Kelly Jackson in the third
round of a scheduled six-round
seml-windup. Suarez took two
rounds to size up the situation and
only 48 seconds In the third to put
his man away.
Suarez landed a left hook to
Jackson's stomach and a right to
the chin, which made the dusky
battler crumple to the floor. Ref
eree Ralph Gruman mercifully
gave the bout to Suarez.
Leads In light
In the main event, Huber led
Johnstone most of the fight, with
only the first and eighth rounds
even. He was behind on points in
,the second, but he made no doubt
of the decision by staggering
Johnstone in the ninth with sev
eral heavy blows and belting him
with both barrels in the 10th. Hu
ber weighed 199, Johnstone, 196.
John L. Sullivan 169, redeemed
himself in the first bout of the
double main event by blasting out
a decision over Jerry Brown, 160,
Denver negro, in ten rounds. Sul
livan won a doubtful victory over
Brown in a card two weeks ago,
but this time, he left no doubt
about it.
In a surprise, opener, Joey Par
sons, Portland fireman, flattened
tough Joel Boone of Seattle by a
TKO about the middle of the sec
ond round. He knocked Boone to
the deck for a seven-count in the
first round. Parsons weighed 146
and Boone, 147.
