Just that kind of wres tling will bo In store fur them next AVedne-sday night nt the Armory when Henry Jones, J'rovo, ('tab, will meet Hay Dynes, Seattle, In the main event. Joncit Im regarded us one of the lending masters of the whip wrist Jock and strikes fear to his niimt worthy opponents. Ho has work ed faithfully for many years to de velop his grip and make this hold ono of his mainstays. Whenever ho elani'w his fit eel -like hand on no opponent' wrist, ho turns him upside down and throw him all over the ring, Sometimes he whips 4 hum around for seven or eight limes nud then the luckless victim has no chance whatevor.

The new rule adopted provides that penalties shall be assessed, exactly as in any other play, the defending team to be penalized half tho distance to the goal line, or one yard, and the offending team, in case of an offside, moved back five yards to its even-yard line, where it again would make the try.

AN COULD LSsbcuvrLO PUiSS SPORTS EOTCB Tho bull elephants of patient .lack Curlcv's wrcstlnm troupe aro threatening to stampede the boxing game right out of Madi boii Garden. Twice in tho Ps' few weeks, the grunters and groaners havo staged their "hea vvweinht championship" exhibi tions In the Harden pit to the ilcllebt of 20.000 scrambled spec tators while thousands bowled fruitlessly for udmittunco ut the gates. Time was when Tex Rickard sitting in splendor nt the bronze monument he called a uesu though he rarely opened It smiled tolerantly at Curley's fran tic crforts to keep his homeless pack in nourishment of the aim- olest kind. The mere suggestion that he allow tho bellowing waifs to bo tethered in his grand ampltno uler would have frozen old Texas with Indignation. Tex considered wrestling the lowest branch of sports' confidence games and be sides ho had no love for Curlcy a promoter in his own right of considerable guile and promise Those were the days when Tex waved his wagic wand over the boxing ganio and million dollar gates snrouted around him. His beloved Garden housed overflow crowds week after week. The "000 millionaires," with their gleaming shirt fronts and gorgeous ladies packed the ringsido ana applauded delicately. Garden stock sold at J34 a share and was considered a gilt edge investment. Curlcy struggled to' keep his little flock together and If thero was an extra bale of hay after tho proceeds1 wcro counted of a Satur day night nt tho Itidgewood Grovo there were squeals and grunts and whinnies of delight. Tex passed along and as box ing slowly started after him to tho grave Curley and his duck callers hit the upgmde. Wrestling caught on. Dick Shikat. Hans Ktelnke, Jim Londos, caught tho imagina tion of tho crowds even In the times of deepest depression as they succeeded each other as chiot trumpters of the heavyweight herd. They packed the small clubs, the armories, and in des peration the Garden invited them within tho sacred portals. Now the wrestlers are drawing crowds ot 20.000 with more cus tomers available if there wero only space for them. A boxing ehow nt the Garden that lures 0000 within the gates is considered quite good. 1'atleut Jack Curley is riding the high wave and thero must be rumbles from tho grave of old Tex Itickard. Sailor Jack Wood, former well known light-heavyweight wrestler and local promoter of wrestling who left this city about two years ago, slnco which time he had been wrestling in the southwest and middle west was definitely loented when telegraph dispatches sent out from Kansas City told that he participated in that city Inst night CLAY MAY PLAY IN FR1 DAY TILT Charles (Chuck) Clay, whg pulled a tendon In tho first Clio nawa game last Friday evening, Is responding to troatmont and will probably bo In tho gamo with Kla math Falls next Friday, though the injury is still sore. Dr. lCUwin F. Durno Is treating tho player. Clay is the fastest man on tho Mcdford squad and the main cog in a number of plays. If he Is fit, lie will be sent Into the Klamath Falls fray but no chances will bo taken to eliminate or slow him up for the Ashland Berics. The last Chemawa game knock ed all tho ovor-confidence out of tho Burghcritos, and they started drill for tho Klamath gamo last night in the most buslnoss-llko manner of tho year. Klamath de feated Ashland last Friday night 32 to 30, chiefly because Wakcman caged 21 points. There Is no high school player In the stato who can throw 21 points on a Medford guard, after tho drilling they will get this week in guarding. Klamath Falls is quite confident of victory, as it will put them Into the running for tho district title and tho student body nnd towns folks are expected to turn out en masse for tho game. A numbor-of local fans will go to Klamath to sco the gamo and root for victory. f- VAXCOUVEH. I). C Fob. 17.
