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

New Mexico, Utah and Arizona will
all get a careful going over from Lll

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,

TJpseta In sports are the things
that make athletic competition a
aport. 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.
