In the top main event of Mack
Lillard's weekly mat card at the
Medford armory Monday night.
Smolinski has been going great
guns the past several weeks, hav
ing defeated Alvin Britt, former
champion, last Monday and win
ning over Pete Belcaatro in Klam
ath Falls Tuesday night. This will
be his first chance at the cham
pion and if he maintains the fast
pace of his present run will give
the mighty Chick plenty to worry
about.
A newcomer hailing from Aus
tria, Jack Sterlich, will lock grips
with Alvin Britt in the semi
windup. Sterlich has been wrest
ling in the east for some time
and comes to the west coast high-
ly touted as a fast and clean
grappler.
Opening the all-star card will
be Sailor Dick Trout, former
middleweight champion of the
navy, who meets another new
comer in Monte La Due, whose
home is in France. La Due is
classed as the roughest and tough
est to appear on the coast for
some time and has left behind him
a reign of terror in Hollywood.
Trout has exhibited an ability
to care for himself on several oc
casions and is not alarmed at ad
vance dope on his French oppon
ent.
