Pair With Speed and Science Will Tangle on Armory Mat Tonight
WOLFE AND HUBKA
PROMISE THRILLS
Action Also Slated in Semi
Final When Soos and
SmolinskiWIeet McWood
and Olson to Open Card
One of the rare wrestling matches
when speed merchant meets speed
merchant la sin tod for the Armory
grip and grimace arena tonight when
"Iron Man" Joe Hubka of Nebraska,
who haa given fans many a top-notch
aclentlfle exhibition, meets Lea Wolfe,
tall Texan tusaler. In the main event
of a three match program.
There will be no smearing and
sneering when these two get together,
but there will also be no namby
pamby playing around, for both con
testants are out for blood In a clean
way.
Hubka has a reputation here as
being "tops' In popularity, and when
tie was told that Mr. Wolfe also en
Joys great friendship from the fans,
he announced that he wotitd make
the bV southerner look sick. Very
few times has Hubka been seen with
his dander up, but the return of the I
handsome Texan, who seems to rate
high among the women fans, has
plainly Irked the strong-legged Corn-
busker.
It has been some time since Hub
ka has had a chance to display his
razzle-dazzle technique and fancy
leg work, due to the fact that he has
been stacked up against meanle
wrestlers for the past several months.
With the opportunity of meeting a
elean grappler, he declares that he
Is going to put on the fireworks.
Wolfe, who arrived yesterday. Is In
fine fettle and anxious for the go.
He, too, dislikes unorthodox mat
work and has mastered many clever
holds that promise the former Uni
versity of Nebraska football star a
busy evening.
Johnny Soos, another musclar from
he mtddlewest. will return for his
second appearance here' In the 40
tnlnute semi -final when he tangles
with Babe Smollnnkl, aggressive bone
bender who has a dislike for Soos
that threatens to develop a grudge
match.
Plenty of action Is slated for this
aeotlon of the program, as both Rrap
piers like to settle things via the
quickest possible route, be It ortho
dox wrestling or a few punches on
the chin. Fireman Ray Friable, who
Is scheduled to referee, will probably
have a busy time In this tussle, mak
ing the boys behave properly.
Centering the spotlight In the
opening engagement will be Herman
Olson, Swedish entrsnt In the recent
International mat tournamentnt Los
Anglee, who will exchange hugs and
huffs for 30 minutes or one fall with
Johnny McWood, ex-footbsller from
U. C. L. A.
McWood. strong as a Hon and par
tial to clean matwork, puts on an In
teresting performance and will have
ample opportunity for clever tendon
twisting against the highly-touted

WITH ROGUE NINE
Manager Hoffard of the Medford
Rogues this morning received the
following telegram from the Detroit
Colored Giants, who were scheduled
to appear here Saturdny afternoon:
"Sorry, please cancel game; can't get
there. Play you later." The wire had
been sent from Hope, British Co
lumbia. The Rogues had already tacked up
posters from one end of the valley
to the other, and a largo crowd had
been anticipated. Hoffard believes
the Giants missed connections some
way, and had been marooned In the
Canadian city, in that they were
scheduled to play Grant Pass to
morrow, the Rogues Saturday, snd
Klamath Falls Sunday.
As far aa the Roguew are concerned,
they would Just as soon pass up
the Giant battle, as they have one
of their most crucial games of the
season Sunday when they mmt the
Ashland Llthlans In the tiny field
at Ashland to decide the occupants
of the southern Oregon league cel
lar. A win for the Rogues would
put them In a tie for top honors,
and a win for Ashland would do the
same for that outfit.
As yet Hoffard has received no
word from Chesterfield, the Kelso
wonder twlrler, and he la planning
to start either Prltchett or Hardy
against the Llthlans. Hardy Is a
great chucker, though young, and
has been given a conditional release
from the Ashland club. He was one
of the Llthtan'a ace hurlers the
first of the season, before Chief
McLean moved from behind the rub
ber to the pltcher'a mound.
Prltchett. former Seala bomber, has
been putting hot packs on his arm
for weeks, and working out assidu
ously. He now believes he Is ready
to wring the Ashland necks with his
twisting curves and dodging floaters.
Hoffard, In commenting on Prlt-
chett's performances In recent work
outs, ssys that the big twlrler la as
good as he was In his professional
days, and If his arm will stand the
pace should take Ashland In a walk.
The game will start at 3:30, and
several carloads of Medford fans have
planned to attend.
REUS TROPHY
Mrs. J. C. Thompson retained pos
session of the Murray trophy yester
day by virtue of a 3-to-l victory over
Mrs. Dave Wilcox In the 36-hole finals
of this year's Murray tournament, the

halved the 33rd, and Mrs. Wilcox took
the 34th. but the title holder eked
out the 35th hole to win.

WILL FISH 10 SEEK
Al Steeher, former middleweight
champion wrestler of Canada, arrived
In Medford yesterday for the first
time and announced that he plans
to stay here for the next six weeks,
spending the time keeping In condi
tion by fishing along Rogue river for
the wary salmon and also to cast
about for possible wrestling engage
ments. Steeher has never been seen In ac
tion In the northwest, but he Is
known as "tops" both In Canada and
in the east, where he has met most
of the best muscle manglers, he
claims. He has been wrestling for the
past 15 years, so has considerable mat
experience to add to his natural ath
letic ability. He weighs about 190
pounds.
Unlike many wrestlers. Steeher
keeps In trim by careful, easy work
outs with a stretcher machine and by
shadow boxing (he was a boxer for
three yearsl. thua eliminating the
hazard of becoming muscle bound.
This was one of the tricks he lesrned
while working under Parmer Bums,
former world champion.
Steeher specializes in a flying body
scissors and other forms of leg work.
He may be seen In action here soon.
according to Promoter Mack Llllard.

and the aun's blazing down on vacation
highways, you nerd a gasoline like Summer 76
which brings you these three important qualities:
1. HIGH ANTI-KNOCK for smooth, flexible
power, fast acceleration in traffic and on the
grades, and a cool-running motor.
2. ABSENCE OF VAPOR-LOCK (the fading
and spluttering that sometimes occurs on hot
days). Each of the five different altitude and tem
perature zones of the Pacific Coast receives a
grade of 76 especially adapted to the climatic
conditions of the area. (A map showing these
"rones" is included in the "Trip Record" obtain
able from any 76 dealer. See details at left.)
3. MAXIMUM MILEAGE for thrifty motoring.
76 now contains more of the heavy, power and
mileage-giving fractions for warm weather driv

and anti-knock leadership for which 76 is famous.
