Roy Would Like Rematch With Giant Despite TKO Armory Fans I See Rare Card ' j By A. C. JONES Caplial Journal Sports Editor Some 1000 Salem Armory boxing fans learned at least three big things during a two-hour (lurry ot ted leather mitts Saturday night: f (1) Ewart Potgieter, at 7 Icet S and 335 pounds, can fight "somewhat;" he is faster than ex pected for his size: his chin is out of reach of the average boxer; his super-long left jab is his best friend: and his overwhelming weight is what puts the power behind the blows. . (2) His technical knockout vic tim after 1:16 of the sixth round, Dave Roy, was a brave man in this first Northwest test of the fabulous South African. (3) Eddie Machen, No. 2 heavy weight challenger to Champion Floyd Patterson, is powerful, quick and polished, as demonstrated in his three-round exhibition against Boger Rischer of Oakland. Both wore protective headgear and were under wraps in other ways, too. Plant Regular Cards This rare card provided by pro moter Tommy Moyer was the first professional bill in Salem since 1954, which attracted no more than .";00 fans, including the few boxers who fulfilled their contracts and showed up. Moyer's plan is to have shows here every two weeks, working on the premise that regularity devel- ops followers. He cannot, of course, always have such outstand ing attractions as Potgieter and Machen, but fans undoubtedly would like more like the six-round semifinal between Tommy Thomas of Portland and Johnny Wells of Seattle, middleweights. The two Negro battlers went hot and heavy most of the way, fin ished strong in a real crowd pleaser that was declared a draw. Thomas, at 158, is Portland's na tional Golden Gloves champion who had won his previous nine pro fights. There was another six-rounder and a four-round preliminary. Would Like Rematch Bnv. a 210-nound Vancouver, B.C., policeman managed by Al Principe, said afterward as he contemplated the giant leaving across the ring, that he wouldn't mind meeting Potgieter again. It was Roy's 10th loss in 32 pro lights and he met the crisis as best he could, by keeping on the move to the right while working on Potgieter's heart and stomach. Only once did he reach the big chin up on mat large man. "Ho didn't have a real minch.' - Roy volunteered. "He just clubbed me to death with all that weight behind it." What led up to the TKO were two solid rights that obviously dazed Roy, who shortly after was caught behind the left ear by a looping right that must have knocked Roy for eight feet almost through the ropes. He lit on the seat ot his trunks on the apron outside the lower rope and upon return was declared in no con dition to absorb more. Knocked Through Ropes In the first round, Potgieter set the place buzzing as he moved rather quickly in, especially with lefts that would have tilted the corner posts, even. In the second, Rnv landed a low blow (he was . punching uphill all the way) and ' u. tU!-.l Un1 a . nnrlor Dnv'e III uic iiiiiu unu a tu, u.iuvi left eye. In the fourth Potgieter rocked Rov with his first solid rights, causing the Canadian to shake his head to clear the fuzzy picture. Then in the fifth Roy got in two hard lefts to Pottv's Dot. Said Potgieter after the fight as the sweat ran off in a cloudburst: "I thought I landed at least two real hard rights . . I'm not in the best shape yet and have a cold . . . I've had real good train ing the past two weeks. The question put to Roy's mana ger, Principe, was: "How can any body stop Potgieter if he keeps Improving?" He referred to the way James J. Parker, British em . pire champion, floored Potgieter three times with his mighty wal . lop by working over the giant's "j midsection, then raising his sights.

Machen, who turned pro less than three years ago, is a stylist strong on defensive fundamentals and with lightning comDinaiions.

Roy sel dom could reach the big guy except for an PIN PA TTER By FRANK Capital Journal That's Cold in That Tltar Hillerich Genial Bill Hillerich is a good example that the style of bowling delivery has nothing to do with the size of the score, for he holds the high city mark to date with a 278 bowled last Wednesday night at Cherry City bowl, and the season's high score at the University bowl with a 275 game. Bill shoots in the game a slight hook ball, a straight ball, and a light backup ball, or ball that breaks to the right. Certainly not spectacular to watch as it has no gasp-bringing quality of the wide, sweeping curve often associated with "big" balls, it is nonetheless effective. The secret to the delivery lies in Bill's ball delivery. In setting the ball down on the alley, Hille rich points his thumb at his object pin to compensate for errors in his timing and approach. The result is that the bail comes off his hand sometimes curving to the left or right; sometimes straight but always rolling. Hillerich catches plenty, of splits, but is accurate enough to pick a good share of them. Another bowler who approxi mates the Hillerich style is Willie West, a corner shooter. Willie, how ever, is sitting out a few weeks of bowling as a result of a home accident. Pruning branches from a tree at home, Willie atop a six fool ladder, suddenly wasn't there any more but flat on his DacK. Somehow his hands took a good beating and he was forced to lay off bowling for a time. Wattier Takes a Ribbing Oddest accident reported so far Is the tale of Al Wattier. Lying on his stomach In his living room watching a television boxing bout prior to picking up ball and bag for an evening's bowling In the Capitol Major league, Al enjoyed a back massage by one of his daughters. One nibbing'movemcnt brought an Ouchl and a wince from him. His side began to ache suddenly, but Al thought not too much of It and went bowling that night. Not the next week, how ever for the masseuse had broken two or three of Al's ribs. Gene Dagostini, Coos Bay bowler, who shot in the state tournament over the weekend, is really a long range commuter. Living in Sacra mento, California, Dagostini, nevertheless, bowled in the Oregon State tourney. A vegetable route man, Dagostini lives in Sacramento only on weekends. During the week he drives his load of produce up Into Oregon distributing in the Coos Bay area. He bowls only one night a week at Coos Bay hence the shoot in the Oregon tournament. The Woman's International Bowling Congress reports a real oddity of the current season. Lucille Kcrs, 146 average bowler of Detroit, Mich., opened league play with a score of 86. Her second game was 193; and her third was a 298 tieing the second highest game bowled in the United States this season. From the same WIBC newsletter Is a money raising scheme of Columbus, Ohio. They have a "102 club." Anyone who hat a 102 score anyplace In any game puts 10 cents Into a kitty for the Polio Foundation. More than $100 has been accumulated this way. All-Spare Games Scored A couple of odd all spare games were rolled recently by Slim Als man and Butch Walls. Alsman's no-striker was a 181 game. Walls hit his a few weeks ago with a 186 score. And Frank Johnson shooting in a mixed doubles league at Capitol Booming at Capitol lanes Wednesday night was the familiar roar of Walt Cline, senior, who recently returned from a month's vacation in the southland. Bill Drakely, young comer, will have to wait a few years before developing stronger in Salem leagues. Drakely has found the allure of the Air Force strong and enlisted. He u leave in marcn Women to Invade Medford Salem's fairer bowlers plan to Invade Medford and the current Women's State bowling tournament in the pear city March 9. Many of the members of 10 teams plan to use a chartered bus to Mediord since they all shoot on the same day. The following day 24 sets of doubles and 48 singles entries will compete to try for the coveted championships of the state. One team. Corral Cafe, shot this weekend. Rich Staudinger and Frank Evans broke the Capitol lanes Jackpot doubles with a pair of high 600 s; 691 for Rich and 660 for Frankic. Evans, bowline in the stale tournament, wasn't up to his usual form. IBut it's not hard to understand why the Gerlinger ace wasn't as ef fective as usual; he had refereed TWO fast-paced high school basket ball games prior to the IT p. m. tourney shoot.

Midgets Due In Tag Bout On Tuesday Those Battling Midgets, who proved to quite an attraction lost year, will show up again at the Salem Armory Tuesday night in an Australian tag team wrestling match, and matchmaker Klton Owen claims it will be one of the best matches on the winter card. The small guys, who aver. Tec right around three feet tall, will appear In a bout calling for one fall, with no time limit. Main event, best two out of three falls or 30 minutes, will pit Luther Lindscy against Bull Montana. Lindsey hopes to make short work of the Bull to make up for a draw Montana held him in a preliminary match two weeks ago. But Montana, like Lindscy, wants a crack at Gentleman Ed Francis' Northwest heavyweight crown, and doesn't plan to get in the way of Luther's piledriver. In the semifinal attraction, Gen tleman Ed himself will face Billy wicks, 205-pounder from St. Paul. Ed will be a heavy favorite against Wicks, a cleanie who is a protege of Red Bastion. The opener, slated for 8:30 p.m., will find Luigi Macera going against Martinn Angelo. Pierre DeGlane will referee the bouts. O.T.I.

Bearcats twice in a row messed up on chances to take over first place in the Northwest conicrencc basketball confusion. They dropped games both Friday and Saturday to the last-place Whitman Mission aries, 55-51 and 68-56. This came despite the fact the Salem team whipped Whitman by 32 points earlier in Salem and the fact that the Bearcats were con sidered on the road uphill. What gave WU its chance to take over the lead was the sur prising double loss by Linfield at College of Idaho. So now Pacific has become the team to heat out for the championship, which still isn't out of reach of four different teams. College of Idaho, which fell twice to the Bearcats, in Salem, are coached by the foxy Babe Brown, a defensive schemer who always profits by his defeats. Linfield plays tonight at Whit man to try to avoid complete fail ure on the inland road trip. Saturday night's 68-56 score found Willamette running into triple trouble: A strong defense, a cold night at the foul line, and Max Johnson, the redhead from Nampa, Idaho, who scored 20 points.

There are no counting games until Friday: North Salem at South Salem, Lebanon at Albany, and Sweet Home at CorvaUis.
