love since losing the bout here and
has vowed to settle the score.
Mike Nazarian, who made his
northwest debut in Medford last
Monday, will take on popular
George Wagner in the middle go.
Nazarian doesn't care if his bat­
tles stay clean or go rough and
tough, but he will be assured of a
willing mixer in Wagner, regard­
less of how things go.
Bob Cummings, from Great
Falls, Mont., will return to the
armory mat to clash with Otis
Clingman in the opener. Cum­
mings is a young fellow who does
his work along scientific lines,
with which he has built himself
a good reputation.
