()N£ of the wildest Medford ar-

ticipated Monday rught when Pro­
moter Mack Lillard presents Mike
Naxarian, the tough Armenian
who enjoys a four-match winning
«treak, and Pete Belcastro, the
Wild Weed Wop. Belcastro won
the right to a go with Naxarian
last Monday when he used every­

ing—to whip Jack Hagen. Both
Nazarian and Belcastro pay no
attention to the referee or the
rules while in the ring and will
be out for each other's scalp from
opening bell to last grunt.
Belcastro feels that, although
outweighed considerably, his abil­
ity to absorb punishment is great­
er than that of the Armenian, but
Naxarian believes he is too tough
for any of the current stock of
Medford gladiators.
A match that should develop
into a clever and scientific go will
be the middle clash between Ernie
Piluso of Klamath Falls and Otis
Cling man, the Texas veteran of
some 20 years on the mat. Both
men like their going according to
science at their chosen profession
and patrons are looking forward
to a thrilling hour.
A clash that will rival the mid­
dle match for speed and skill will
be the opener between Jack Hag­
en, young headlock specialist from
Ixmisiana, and George Wagner of
Texas. This match will go to the
mat at 8:30 p. m.
