JAKE DEXTER ASPIRES TO
HIGH FISTIG HONORS
In answer to the universal clamour
for new faces to replace "the old fa
miliar faces" in the ring and to the
call sent out by the sporting world
for more white hopes, a veritable
young giant fresh from the grazing
lands of Heppner last week stalked
into this city.
Men marvelled at his size, bible
students conjured up visions of their
Goliath and little children saw in him
a giant, who might have walked out
of the pages of their fairy story. To
the speculative eye, the visitor was
indeed a giant ,a colossal fighting ma
chine, a physical perfection.
Jake Dexter, member of the fight
ing Dexter family of Heppner, had
heard the call for fighters and
strengthened with the determination
to batter his way to the top, he sign
ed a 10 year contract with J. O'Neill,
veteral wrestler and trainer, for some
time a resident of this city.
O'Neill, who had heard of Dexter,
has watched him carefully for sev
eral years. Realizing that a big man
does not necessarily make a big figh
ter, O'Neill picked his man with cau
tion and having picked him will spare
neither time nor expense to line hlra
up with the best heavyweights of the
day.
Big Jake is 24 years of age,
weighs 272 solid pounds, is agile,
good natured and married. His handi
hang from his powerful arms like two
choice Swift's Premium Hams and
contain an effective sleep producing
potion.
He has never used tobacco, alcohol
tea or coffee. In the past year he
has grown one-fourth of an inch,
which shows that he is still a "grow
ing boy." His father weighed 265
pounds, while his mother tips thi
beam at 250 pounds. A younger
brother is larger than Jake, althou
he does not aspire for a career ii
the ring.
He comes from a family of rough
and ready fighters, whose fame is
scattered throughout the Heppner
country. And Heppner has long been
recognized as a city of fighting men.
Jake is jovial and has a deep,
booming voice that rumbles of con
vival fellowship. He is ambitious to
get Into the ring with the best fight
ing talent in the country and will
train hard toward that end. He likes
to fight and thinks it is a heritage
handed down by his scrapping an
cestors. "The first thing I wanted to do, as
I remember," Jake said, "was to
fight. I have my greatest difficulty
finding somo one to spar with me.
They are all afraid of my size."
A glance at Jake's massive struc
ture and one can quickly understand
why he has difficulty getting any
one to oppose him.
O'Neill, who has wrestled witl.
many of the champion wrestlers and
who has trained a score of succi
ful mat and mit men, has been in
communication with Tex Rickard, na
tionally known fight promoter for
some time regarding Dexter. O'Neill
and Rickard aro old friends and the
promoter is anxious to assist Jack 1
putting his protege over. In a re
cent letlei' received by O'Neill, Rick
ard stated that all New York was
clamoring for new white hopes and
that the sporting world would pay
big money to see "big boys" of prom
ise in action. He asked O'Neill to
hurry his training work with Dexter
and to sign him up with every heavy
weight in sight, so that it could be
determined how far the Heppner man
could go. O'Neill is patient and cau
tious. He will have his man well
groomed for action before he allows
him to step into the arena.
It is interesting to note that Dex
ler is in many ways a larger man
than Jess Willard. Willard is taller
and has a slightly longer reach, but
Dexter possesses a greater chest
measurement and expansion. An ac
curate chart, showing- the measure
meats of the two men, is given here

PHIL METSCHAM OOT HIS
START IX HEPPXER
(DeWitt Harry in Oregonian)
First generation pioneer stock,
raised in eastern Oregon, describes
Phil Metschan. Young Phil early
learned to fence for himself.
"I started out as a bank clerk,"
he said. "I just let things sort of
go on until I got married. Then I
began to figure out how to Improve
my condition, which had never wcr
ried me to that time. So I started
a bank in eastern Oregon, but that
was not a success.
"When I went into the hotel busl- -ness
I was "broke. I bought the
Palace hotel in Heppner, Or., on
credit and I'll never forget the stack
of notes I had to redeem, for it later
became an obsession to me to have
every one of those notes back in my
possession. After three weeks in the
hotel business I realized that I had
paid too much for the place and I
told my wife so and put it up to her,
explaining that we could stay there
and work it out and make nothing
or leave and not lose anything.
"Here came my turning point. My
wife and I agreed it would be to) con
cede failure If I left, so as she waa
game we decided to worlc It out.
What success I have had came right
there. Unconsciously I built myself
up in that community and while I
was creating a reputation for credit,
reliability and dependability, 1 was,
at the same time, wearing the rough
edges off my character. Somehow I
managed to gain the respect of the
community and this period marked
my transitions, for there I learned
self-control.
"When I sold out in Heppner and
came to Portland I found, to my sur
prise, that some of my reputation
had come before me. I had a defin
ite plan when I came here to devota
myself to my own business with my
whole heart and I worked on V
theory that a real friend is worth
more than rihes. I am not rich and
don't expect to be, but I'm happy,
found to my surprise when I reached
Portland that I had a credit rating
worth something, for I had ur
sciously acquired wealth of that sort
that I had not set down on my per
sonal balance sheet.
"Now, I don't consider myself half
through, but the leUdon I learned in
Heppner of paying In full and stick
ing it out is the real secret of a'"
have. Some of the things of which I
am proudest are my father's business
reputation before me and the old em
ployes we have in our place here,
men who have served 10, 15, 18 years
or more with the firm."
