Before the holidays, Kollla appear

here, hammering Lea Wolfe and Bob
Kennaston Into senseless maeaea with
rabbit punches, slugging, kicking and
every other variety of dirty wrestling.
When Promoter Mack LI Hard left on
a aooutlng trip, he promised to bring
back a man who could return Hollls'
treatment In like coin, and he an
nounces that Cleet la Just the man.
A quiet man when undisturbed, he Is
aald to become a maniac when Irri
tated by foul tactics in the ring.
The middle main event has at
tracted as much Interest aa the other
bout, with the second jlu-Jltau match
fever to be held In Medford. Shlnuchl
Bhikuma, huge Japanese Jlu-Jltsu

In Shanghai, Toklo and other spots
In the Orient, and once wrestled a
mixed bout In Singapore, which he
won handily. !
After weeka of training. Peck has

had tune to work out a defense for
the ether's attack.
The opening bout la a preliminary
in name only, Promoter LI Hard said,
In that the two men have been
wrestling top-line cards In the larger
cities. "Dude" Chick, the ex-bull-dogger

man's prowess. Taskoff will have a
alight advantage in their Australian
system match of six 10-mlnute
rounds. The American system will
be used only In the Hollls'-Cleet go,
two out of three falls or one hour.

The swimming Kompa sinters. Eli
zabeth and Erna, would like mightily
to land places on the Amerlcsn's wo
, men'a team going over to Berlin next
summer to defend the United States'
Olymple Women's swimming laurels.
Aside from the glory that cornea
with membership on the U. S. Olym
pic squsd, the sisters have a very
definite reason for devoting their best
efforts toward making the team.
Such an achievement would send
them back to their native land.
Elisabeth and Erna disclosed this
added Incentive recently In Coral
Oables, Pla., where they participated
In the fourth annual Miami Blltmore
Olympic stars acquatlo meet.
Twelve years ago, August Kompa.
the father, faced a grave crisis. Vir
tually penniless, suffering from war
wounds, with no prospect of employ
ment, Kompa assembled his wife and
three dsughtera and decided to seek
a new stsrt In America.
Leaving their German home at
Essen, the Kompa family found new
life In New York. Father Kompa
found work and hla daughtera were
quick to adapt themselves to Ameri
can child life.
Swimming, they found, was a lot
of fun, and Elisabeth end Rrna were
quick to learn.
Ileaiity In Backstroke
"We liked backstroke best," aald
Sister Elisabeth, "because It was sucb
a pretty stroke. So useless, but so
beautiful I guess we both made this
our specialty because neither one of
us would ever let the other get very
far ahead. We've always done things
alike."
i Erna la SI and Ellrabeih 90 Both
are engnkvd In secretarial work, their
ooniriuuuua to ti'td family bread
winning.
Their atrlklng resemblance leads
many to believe them twins. Both are
blonde and wear similar coiffures.
"We're great pals everywhere ex
cept the swimming pool." aays Sister
Erna. " try Just aa hard to beat each
other as we do other swimmers In
our race. I think It's perhaps this
sharp rivalry that accounts for whit'
ever we have achieved.'
Eleanor Holm Jarrett was an In
spiration for the Kompas. They tried
to pattern their style of swimming
from Mrs. Jarrett s.
nelatlvea In Germany have sent
the Kompa, sisters newspaper clip
pings about plans for the Olympics.
Should they make the trip, their
relatives will be confronted with
dilemma. They must decide whether
to remain loyal and cheer for the
Reich, or to favor their kinship oy
pulling for the Kompa girls.
They Learned In U. 8.

we left Germany," aald Srna, "and
now It seems although we aren't
counting our chlokena before they
are hatched that we may have a
chance to return on the strength of
our swimming. Ore, It would be
fun I"
If the sisters continue the torrid
pace of the, last year, they should
have no trouble reaching their goal.
Elizabeth holds the world record of
0:06 for the 400-meter backstroke
event. She Is 930-yard Metropolitan
and National A. A. U. champion and
holda national records In races rang
ing from 800 to 800 yards.
Many wonder how the Kompa girls,
born In Germany, can compete In the
Olypmlo gamea as members of the
U. s. team. The Olympic ruling n
such cases specifies that children
whose parent were naturalised before
the children reached the age of 31
may compete for the nation In which
they reside. ' w

In races of )00 meters, 400 and 440
yards.
Both girls have an easy, graceful,
tireless stroke. So even and unruf
fled' la their long racing stroke that
their apeed seems secondary.

The Medford Table Tennis club.
of which we are father, and to date,
sole member, will meet Wednesday
evening at 8 o'clock, In the Smoke
House Bowl. By that we don't mean
that we will meet with ourself and
hold a weighty consultation, but
that every man. woman or child In,
or around, the city of Medford is
Invited to come to the meeting.
Only that way can we find If there
la enough interest In the game to
warrant going ahead with organi
zation plans.
The Idea at present Is to rent
space for five or six tables,, secure
the tables, Bats and other equipment
and stsrt playing as
soon aa possible. The
"club rooms" would
be open from early
morning to late at
nlgbt, and club mem
bers would be per
fectly free to play at
any time they liked. By naving
several tables, there would be little
congestion, and It would be pos
sible to plsy a friendly game at
nearly any time of day. women, ox
course, are asked to Join the club,
end ladles tournaments will be run
from time to time.
There ore enough good tsble ten
nis Dlayers In town to help In
teaching beginners, although prob
ably no effort would be made to
have tournaments, either rouna-
robln or Inter-clty, for a few weeks.
Those who saw the Medford
Junior high school basketball
team, under Coach Unas Achl- ,
son, .perform against Williams
Frlniiy night as a preliminary
to the werrt-Meilforn game, are
agreed that basketball Is due
for a revival here. The nay the
kids worked the ball In, broke
fast, and used their heods In
setting up plays, Indicates tnat
many fine players will be de
veloped and ready to start ac
tive playing when they enter
high school.

That Notre Dame - Northwestern
basketball tie, 20-20, sounds almost
unbellevsble, but that was the real
score when the game wss over. Ties
In basketball are unheard of, be
cause when game ends In a tie
an overtime period, or periods, con
tinue until the deadlock la broken.
But In the game at Evanston, the
two score-keepers were asleep at
the switch and ruled It a 20-1U
victory for Northwestern. As long
aa those two said so, the referee
could do nothing, although he knew
the score was tied at 20-all. News
paper scorers watching the gsme
were unanimous In their opinion
that the score was 20-all, and were
not hesitant about saying so. The
tie score has been accepted aa cor
rect by both schools snd the referee.
