'AT ELKS SMOKER
1 WALKOUT
Piftpon of lh scheduled 24 rounds
nt the Elks' smoker Inst night ''were
fought, resulting In two knockoutH,
one draw and one walk out, the lat
ter occurring when two fighters be
came too friendly.
The Johnnie Carlson and Joe Jew
ett bout won the heartiest approval
of tho neveral hundred Klks present.
The full six rouiylH were fought to a
draw, with the opinion of tho specta
tors evenly divided. , It nth fighters
, yyd some "heft wallops" with Carl
mn having the olfce In the art of
(lodging Jewett's vIc-Iouh Mows. JIow
vtv Carlson was struck many times
and was more or leHS groggy at the
end. lloth men weighed approxi
mately 14 5 pounds. Carlson, well
known locally, wus the favorite
against his Klamath Falls opponent.
Weighing 135 pounds each. Harold
Ueese nnd Manila, Tiger, California
Hcrappers, gave up tho ghost togeth
er In the third round. They left the
rlng with cat calls resounding behind
them. In that round lieese struck
the Tiger a knockout blow, hut failed
to follow up and clinched him In
stead. Reese held the smaller man
from falling until the bell rang. About
that time the hall resounded with
"Throw 'em out," "they're no fight
ers," nnd many other appropriate and
'in ppropriute phrases, Reese later
claimed he failed to follow up be
cause he had killed a man in a simi
lar fight at I,os Angeles sometime
ago. The. Tiger, he said, hud just
arrived from Manila and could nut
Kpeak Knglish and had never met him
before until the fight last night.
Knocked down five times before he
would stuy put, George Dixon, colored
f Portland, was knocked out by Kd
(turns of New Orleans In tho third
round. lJuring the short and furious
melee Dixon entertained the crowd
with wild 'hay maker" swings,- one
of which caught Iturns on the end of
the nose and floored him for tho
count of nine.
The opening number ended sud
denly also in the third round when
Fred AriderHon, - of Tacoma, 110
pounds, received a knockout blow
from Kid Roberts of Weed. Roth
fighters were not much more than
i youngsters, nnd drew .liberal applause.
Robert IT. Hoy I wart the official an
nouncer, and at intervals would an
nounce to the fighters, "No fight
No monee." After each 'announce
ment fights were more lively, l.ouis
I'lrlch nnd Militant Ilammelt, local
Klks, and John Kndcrs acted In. of
ficial capacities as judges, and J.
Krickson as referee. Following the
fights, a- bounteous feast of "turkey J
sandwiches" were served with near
J) beer, milk nnd coffee. j
as a wnoie last nignt s smoker was
regarded as being successful, nlthough ,
the crowd was not so large as has i
been the case at such entertainments, j
Another smoker Ih to be held again In j
a few weeks. It Is understood.

The chances aw very remote foi a
post-season gome -here between Jef
ferson hlKh, champions ot the Port
land high school league, but lire Rood
for mich a name In this city with
Corvallls high In case the latter should
win tomorrow's, same with Sulem
high for the Willamette valley cham
pionship, as In a telephone talk today
between I'rink Culllson, Medlord
coach, anil the Corvallls coach, the
later said that team would be glad to
play such a contest.
In addition, he said that Corvallls
high is desirous ot forming n coalition
with Medlord hVsli for a game here
next Thanksgiving day and n game
every Thanksgiving day thereafter
between the two teams. Coach Calll
son, however, informed him thut siifh
a:i arrangement wnuhl he imnosslhle
because ot Medford's arrangement for
an annual ewie with Ashland on tflat
day. .
In case Salem ' high should win
Saturday's contest It la not known If
Sulem would consent to a post-seuson
game here, as negotiations have not
yet been opened for .Much a game,
but it is thought here that Salein
would eagerly consent. '
Hut Medford lilgh's first choice Is
for a post-season ifume with Jefferson
high, if thut can he brought about.
However, in event of any post-season
game here with Jefferson high or tiie
winner of the Willamette valley cham
pionship game of Saturday. Medford
high wants the game to be played
ubout ton days after Thanksgiving.
Willi regard to the Jefferson high
situation, Conch Cnlllson read with
surprise in yesterday's Oiegonlan thut
Jefferson high would not play a post
season game with any other Oregon
team, and an explanation therefor, as
last week at Ktigeno ho anil Coach
Nelson of Jefferson high had talked
over the prospect ot such a game here
with Medford high.
In that talk between the two
coaches. Nelson explained that Jeffer
son high wanted a post-season game
with an eastern team, but that If ar
rangements for an eastern contest at
Portland fell through, ho would be
willing to haro Jefferson high play
Medford high.
This forenoon Coach Calllson called
up Coach Celsoui with whom he Is
i well acquainted, to see If the Oru
!ouian story was correct, and was in
formed that It was. Nelson explained
'that after his talk at Kugeue with the
'Medford coach, he ,'tot back to Cort
jluuU to find that negotiations were
'already under way by Jefferson high
for a gamo with a California high
school championship team, which had
progressed so far thnt the matter of
u post-season game was pructicully
lout of the coach's hands.
I Definite nrrangements for the Cali
fornia game wanted by Jefferson High
jwill not bo completed for about ten
'days yet, and on biting told this Calli
json suggested to Nelson that If tho
i arrangements fell Uirough that Jeffer
son li!J?h, which would bo practicing
ifor the proposed California game,
might then take on Medford high,
j Coach Nelson would make no dsfl-
nite stutement regarding such a con
Itinguncy, mill there the matter sti'.nds.
Concerning Jefforson high's stand
: against playing a post-season game
with any Oregon team, the Portland
lOregoniun of Thursday published the
I following:
"Now that Jefferson has won tho
.Oregonlnn cup nnd the undisputed
Ititle of champions of the Portland high
'school league by defeating Lincoln
yesterday, 19. to 0, llopkin Jenkins,
principal of Jefferson hf-;h school:
Martin V. Nelson, tho head coach:
Dean Mickelwalt, tho lino coach;
jltidgeway Johnston, the teiuu. captain,
and every member of the Jefferson
'football squad are receptive to pro
lH)sals for a post-season game with
the champmn of some other section.
! "To prevent any misunderstanding,
however, he it remarked ut the out
'set that Jefferson will not consider
ja game with any other Oregon eleven:
jnlso that Jefferson wishes to make a
j trip, not to play another team in Port
(land, and that some one of the Cali
fornia high schools is her preferred
'opponent.
j "Jefferson's decision not to consider
;a game with any other Oregon team
'nullifies ut the outset a challenge
'from Medford high, the champion of
southern Oregon.
I "Coach Nelson thus explained Jcf-
iferson's Kjsition yesterday:
I "'"Jefferson will not now. nor nt nnv
other time, consider n post-season
(championship game will) any other
team In Oregon until some re arrange
,ment is made in the plan of hi,-h
school play tip-state which would
'make such a game really decisive and
lor the slate title. As matters stand,
'none ot tho winning teams, ourselves
j Included, is more than it claimant'. A
contest between Jefferson and any
i challenging eleven would be absolutely
indecisive,- because teams from other
sections would then present their
jclnlms, which would bo every bit as
'good us ours. No real championship
would be spilled, and a Dock of claims
'... I (....nt. III. ?....!.. .. 1.1 ,1... t
miu mm u nuum u me in
evitable result.
" 'This is the reason we shall abso
lutely not consider playing any other
team In Oregon.'
"The Jellerson players feel that
ithoir championship entitles them to a
Hi D. and their coni'h and principal
concur. They would prefer a gamo
iwith tho championship high school
team of one ot the ( alifornia sections,
or of 1.-OS Angeles or San Krancisco."
