Lethers and Karasick Tangle Tonight in Armory Wrestling Show TALL TEXAN WITH RUBBER LEGS OUT TO TAKERUSSIAN Unscrupulous Tony Catalano Meets Giant Harry Kent . In Opening Fracas Fris bie Will Act As Referee With tha return of cold weather and all the old "anap" to hla famous rubber legs, Sad Sam Lethers of Texas Is out for all he can get, according to word from Promoter Mack Lillard, In his main event bout tonight with "Gentleman" Al Karasick of Russia. The last time these two masters of the bone-bending game meet at the armory, the result was one hour of the moat gruelling type of wrestling, ending In a draw and a determina tion on the part of the tall Texan to meet the Ruaelan again and stow him away. Several montha of wrestling in Ore gon's midsummer heat and an Injury had worn the Texan down consider ably before the last battle with Kara sick, and the popular southerner la confident thst when they tangle to night the falls will stack up well In hla favor. "Awful Al'a" vlewa on the forth coming tussle, however, Indicate that It will take something more than an additional zip to the lege to give Lethera the upper hand. The dwarf ish Russian, one of the toughest and most skillful veterans of the profes sion, generally emerges from matches with his share of the honors, though he doesnt' always stick to almon pure wrestling to gain falls. He la out weighed and outalzed by Lethers, but trusts that what he knows In the way of mat wlzardy will make up for hla lack of poundage. The promoter has snnounced that either Paul Boesch, Brooklyn drop klcker, or Joe Hubka, popular speed ster from University of Nebraska, will meet the winner of the Lethers-Kara-lck contest In a future match. A mlxup of scientific grappling and underhanded muscle mangling Is promised for the semi-final tonight, when Horry Kent, 235-pounder from Oregon State college, takes on Tony Catalano, unscrupulous Italian. Kent Is rated as one of the clever est as well as stoutest men on the eoast, but what he will be up against In his fray with Catalano generally takes more than strength to combat successfully. Roughneck Tony has a reputation of tearing down the mor ale of moat any wreatler by his un stinted foul play, which he some times c-llmaxea by uae of a myaterloua blinding preparation which he oon ceals somewhere about his body. Ray Friable, local flreladdle, will referee both bouts. 'JUNE IN JANUARY' NO MERE SONG TITLE FOR SEATTLE GOLF THRONG flEATTLK.

UP) The combination of below sero weath er of the prairies and brilliant play by "cellar teams" have put a de cided crimp In the winning streak of the league-leading Seattle Sea- hawks of the Northwest Hockey lea gue. The Consols gave Seattle its second defeat in two nights here last night, 8 to 1.

(AP), Last night's wrestling card at the auditorium was full of thrills and! surprises, most noteworthy of which' was the work of Jack Washburn, Bos ton heavyweight, who not only lost, his bout to Paul Boesch, Brooklyn,! on a foul but was escorted from the! auditorium by two police officers to face a disorderly conduct charge. Of almost equal importance to the spectators was the unsatisfactory end ing of the Casey Kazan J lan Joe 6a voldl mlan event, In which Kazan J tan was tumbled for the deciding fall after thinking, as many of the spec tators did, that he himself had cap tured the third fall. Washburn entered the ring with his right knee hoavlly bandaged. Early In' the bout he started kneeing Boesch under the heart with the padded limb. He continued this at tack through the first round and until In the second round when Ref eree Verne Harrington became sua plclous, suddenly stopped the bout, grabbed Washburn's leg and tore off the bandage. Underneath was a piece of lead. Harrington then raised Bocsch'a hand aa the latter was roll ing In agony on the mat, awarding him the bout on a foul. Savoldl won the first fall from Ka zanjlan with his drop kick. Kazan Jlan took the second with a ham mer spin and thought he had won the- third and deciding fall with the same hold when the referee tapped hhn on the back. Apparently Savoldl was partly through the ropes at the time. Kazan lan turned hla back, walked to hla corner to leave the ring, when Savoldl took him by surprise from the rear and pinned him for the fall and the match. COSTS LIFE OF GIRL PORTLAND, Jan. 24. (Blanche Biitfbee, 17, died at a hospital here last night from Internal Injuries Buf fered In a sled coasting accident Jan uary 18. This was the second Oregon death caused by the recent cold anap.

(Spl.) Afti winning 15 out of 18 games played this season, Ashland high school Is rated a top note her In state prep school basketball, with a record un surpassed In Oregon. By actual score against Grants Pass and comparative scores against Med ford. It looks as if nothing abort of a miracle can atop the locals from winning the district title and going to Salem again for the state tourna ment Meanwhile, however, Don Faber's outfit has a few games to play and one of the hardest will be thla week end against Klamath Falls, always a title contender In that district. The local lada are at mid-season peak at the present time, which was graphically displayed Saturday night in the business-like manner In which they defeated the vaunted team from Shasta City the aggregation that has walloped Ashland eight years In a row. One bis factor In favor of the team Is that no one man la Indispensable. This has been proved time after time. for Injuries have forced nearly all the regulars to the sidelines at some time during "the aeoAon. Captain Parker Hess was forced to cut his trip wHh the team short, and the last three games of tne barnstorming trip were played without htm. But the team came through to victory In all three contests. Bob Hardy, the high scor ing enter, was retired from compe tition with an Injured knee when the team played Weed two weeks ago. But Hess played a center and scored lit, points to lead the team to a win. "Whltey" Kannasto, the little fire brand guard, has an Injured toe and couldn't play against either Qrants Pass or Shasta city. .Schillings play ed In Kannasto's place and turned In a fine performance defensively, al though he failed to score. Capable reserves bolster the pros pects for an ultimate title, for In Murphy, Harris and Fowler, Faber has three hoopsters who can fill a ap and be depended upon to deliver the goods.

Chief Little Wolf, Navmjo Indian, tossed the bulky man mountain out of the ring a couple of times to win two straight falls. The result was In the nature of an upsett.
