Malcolm Campbell passed the 300 m.p.h. point, the first man to ever do ao on the ground. Lawson Little, after being three down to Walter Emery In the U.

And the Medford high school football team, after having been conceded several losses at the start of the year, startled everyone In southern Oregon by coming through a seven-game schedule without a loss or tie, one of only two teams in the state to turn In such record. With most everything else In the country coming out of the red. It 1s not surprising that 1935 was a banner financial year, as far as athletics was con cerned. Football attendance Jumped all over the country, boxing saw the first million dollar gate, since the halcyon days before 192 ft, when Joe Louis drew slightly over a million at his Max Baer fight.

Medford wrestling promoter, Is on an extended trip through the aouthweat rounding up new talent for the hug-and-tug con- testa here, word Just received Indi cates. Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, New Mexico, Utah and Arizona will all get a careful going over from Lll lard, he states, and by the time he resumes his cards here on Monday. January 16, he expects to have sev eral new faces to get smeared. Texas, Llllard says, Is one of the garden spots of the world for wrest ling talent, with two wrestlers for every mesqulte bush. The promoter will be on a particular lookout for llght-heavywelght stars weighting be tween IBS and 200 pounds. Before leaving on the trip he stated that Med ford and Klamath Falls had shown a remarkable preference for this size man, because of their speed. The heavier men, with their ponderous movements, and the lighter, quicker miacueweighta, have never proven popular with local audiences, Llllard stated, REAPllST ON TICKETS TO BOWL PALO ALTO.

If there were any way to pick the winners before the game, there wouldn't be much to Interest anyone. Which reminds us of a peculiar angle on wrestling. Here l.i Medford we know at least 10 men who are rogular wrestling fans, who go overy week, but sre firmly convinced that each fight la "fixed." They can never pick the one to win beforehand, but are convinced that the fighters and the promoter know not only the wlnnor, but the time In which he will win. The peculiar thing about that la that we can see no reason for fixing a fight here. There Isn't a great deal of betting going on, aside from the two-bit stake you might moke with your office boy in order to Impress him with your worldly knowledge of the wrestling art. or If you happen to be an office boy, the two-bits you bet with the boss in order to keep the old boy In a good humor. And It Is betting that fixes fights. If the promoter knows Klin Is going to win the hniit, and there Is money to be made In knowing (hat, then there would he some point In his fix ing the fiasco, hut hardly under the set-up here. They might he fixed, of course, but we don't think so, nfter talking to 110 or 80 wrestlers from time to time. PASADENA, Calif., Dec. 28.
