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.

BIGS WRESTLER
DEFEAT ON FOUL
PORTLAND, Ore., Jan. 24. (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.

ASHLAND QUINTET
SURE THEY'LL COP
DISTRICT HON
ASHLAND, Jan. 34. (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.

Last Tuesday night. In San Fran

returned to the ring in time, and
sufficiently recovered, to render Cox
tn such condition that he was car
ried from the ring on a stretcher.
Last night at the Olympic. Chief
Little Wolf, Navmjo Indian, tossed the
bulky man mountain out of the ring
a couple of times to win two straight
