TWO Kansas Hurricane Will Meet Meanie Hollis in Armory Main Event WINNING STRING TOUGHY DUE OF 10 END, IS HOPE Newcomer, Wayne Long, Promises to Dust Mat With Arkansas Terror Taylor to Meet Glover In Return Match BASKET TOURNEY yl LEADERS WILL BE J"-,: EVENLY MATCHED If Hurricane against Bully at the Armory tonight when Wayne Long of Kansas blowa Into the ring to try to annihilate Ken HnllU, the Arkan sas blood curdler. In a two-out-of-three round bout, the main event on a three star card. In typhoonlng through southern California, Long believe he has worked up enough momentum to dislodge Hollis' crown of straight victories here unless the Arkanaan retires to the storm cellar outside the ring. Hollis, who likes no man and Is as surly out of the ring as In it, refused to aay anything regarding the match today, but looked as -though he would as soon give the reporter a cleaning as not. Long, on the other liand, admitted that, he is not Infal lible and may get dusted by Hollis tonight, but added that It won't be because he will refuse to get tough If Hollis wants that kind of wrest ling. "Tugh guys get tender Just like anything else, If you keep them tn Hot water long enough," he said. The middle bout, a "natural" that excited much Interest when the two combatants first met, will feature Frank Taylor, beautiful collegian, against the rough and rugged Max Glover of Detroit. Taylor Is still sore from the Jumping up and down Glo ver did on his prone elbow In their last match, and has clamored loudly for this chance to return Glover's treatment In kind. In the earlier bout Taylor failed to . get arouse! until it was too late to do much about winning, but the four baymak eis he bung on the Olover Jowels en deared him to the Medford gallery. The opening tussle will feature a new man, "Duke" Pettlgrew, the bone-breaker-from-the cane brakes, against Tiger Taakoff, Bulgarian biter. Fresh out of New Orleans, Pettlgrew comes balled as a rougb house r who can trade dirty digs with tht dirtiest, or present clean, scien tific grappling as the occasion may demand. Since Taakoff has never fought clean In , Medford ring, the probability Is that he won't tonight, and the carnage Is expected to be great. The first two bouts will be under the Australian system, the curtain raiser to start at 8:30. The popular new low prices will be In effect. FROSH AND TIGERS TO TANGLE FRIDAY The flashy University of Oregon Frosh basketball team, hailed as one of the greatest yoarllug squads in a decade, will Invade Mixllord this week end for a game Friday night with the Medford high Tigers. The Frosh are granted a wide margin of super iority over the locals, with a world of manpower Including Mrdford's own Bob Smith, and Jotmnnou of Astoria and Uall of Oak Itldge all-state men last year. Coach Boworman of Medford today aald that his team has a chance of upsetting the carl when the two teams meet, pointing out that It la poealble the Frosh will have an off night and the Tigers may be "hot." "We're not depending on that kind of luck, however, but will go out to win the game on banket ball play ing," Bowerinan as id today, On Saturday night the locals taugle with the QrauU pass Cavemen In the i second of a two game series with that I squad. In the earlier encounter the' Tigers nosed out a narrow 3a -31 vic tory. Since the oranta Pass game Is I a league encounter, most of this 1 week's drill will be pointed In that direction, the coach Intimated. I &$ 1' t In i nil ' ' 'KIL'KKKMCK" Umlogitrmenu that rit at rihulwvn B Huflmann'a Frank Taylor (above), "Beautiful Ohio" wrestler, wUo flu, a return en gagement tonight against Max Glover of Detroit.

Taylor today promised to mart Ming dirty a, aoon ai olover does, "If that's what be wonts." FOR GRAPPLE HERE The probability that George Wilson, former University of Washington foot ball flash and now one of the coun try's outstanding wrestlers, will soon Invade Medford today became a real ity when Promoter Mack Ullard an nounced that Wilson will occupy a main berth on next week's starting lineup at the Armory. Wilson has Just returned from a tour of France, and claims to be In the best condition In years. Medford fans well remember Wil son's last appearance here, when he eliminated himself from tn exciting contest by knocking over a ring post and himself wltb one bsdly timed flying tackle. Balling through the air at his opponent, the IDO-pounaer smashed into the ropes, the strain was too great on the post, and pole and wrestler were both left stranded. Another drawing card, equal at least to Wilson, will be seen In Ted Chris ty, wild-eyed tendon tearer who has been barred from California for "ex cessive roughness" In the ring. Ul Inrd has been trying to sign Christy for months, but the barring of the wild man from California accomplish ed what no amount of offers could do, and Christy has been signed def initely. Prankle Peck, rock-bound San Fran- el scan who wrestles the msln event tn Oakland tomorrow night, will probably find a spot on the card, Lll lard said, and with Ken Hollis prob ably bsck along with the pick of to night's card, Ullard believes he will have the best card he has ever pre sented here.

With the exception of Achlaon, Coach Bowerman of the senior high school, and Bay Henderson, none of the men have bad their dukes on a basketball In years. A basketball h. a. hi!tlvA as a creased hog even to basketball players, but you can Imagine the ludicrous antics i vronn nf atald teachers as they try to gtom bad passes, or make per fectly simple snota aimpie, v. to those youngsters whom they teach all day. The game la called for 7 o'clock, so that wrestling fans who care to attend will have plenty of time to get to the Armory before the open ing bout. The last time the teachers from the two schools tangled, there was some surprisingly good basket ball played. Aa long as the has-beens n,rA in nn condition to maintain a faat romp up and down the floor, they devised some tricky onenses nrnrk th. ball down the floor, and long heaves from one end to the other were the order of the evening. n-oQinnfll lo u over-Bealous pro fessor would try to dribble all the way down, out a lew nips -" as that soon convinced him of the futility of running when passing would serve Just as well. Poor old Jack Sharkey. Con tinuing a "come-bark" attempt Saturday night, he loafed thrnuch the first five rounds of ten round match against an almost unheard of Boston heavyweight, Tony Shucco, and lost his shirt by a unanimous Judges' decision. Only that wasn't loafing. Shar key Is no different that woy than any other flghUr none of them can make It work along the comeback trail after laying off the game for a few years. As John Reddy once said about his two-year-old grey suit "once the legs give out they never come' back." Ten rounds Is long way to go when you're out of condi tion. . A few old-tlmere there will he who will point out that 10 rounds la Just a good start. We used to pooh-pooh these stories, of how "Battling McOonagle" stood toe to too with "Bully Burk" and the two slugged It out for 15 rounds before they both dropped from exhaustion. But It's the real atuff. Just the same. Browsing through a boxing record book, we came across some astounding Information. We've put the question up to a few boxing enthusiasts, and all were short on their guess as to how long the longest fight ever went. For Instance, would you believe that a bout once went for 1S5 rounds? It takes a bit or believing, but on July 17, 1849. Mike Madden and Bill Hays went that distance, and with bare knuck les I That waa at Edenbrtdge Eng land. . The fight lasted six hours and three minutes, and they would have been fighting yet If It badnt got dark. This Madden was quite a 'ad. !ln another fight the next year ! against Jack Grant, he dashed off a mere 140 rounds before getting I tired of the fray. By actual time. I rather than rounds, the longest bare j knuckle bout went six hours and fifteen minutes, when James Kelly ! . o -.nfflu, near ana tionaiuau oimui Melbourne. Australia, In 1065. The longest fight with gloves went even a greater route, when on April . 1893. A. Bowen and J. Burke went 110 rounds to a draw at New Or leans. They whanged away at each nthor tnr seven hura and nineteen minutes. That's as long as you spent working, today, if you oount times you went over to talk to that blonde secretary. And Sharkey "rested" for the first five rounds (15 minutes) in a bout that was scheduled to cover a long, ffnioiiinir half hour. Perhaps It's just aa well that the "Shark" couldn't make the grade. He looks like a sissy alongside tnoee rem men. It can't be because Sharkey Is too old. Not at all. Look again at the record. In 1783 a stevedore in England, named Tom Johnson, felt th urae to so nrlmltlve and puncn someone's nose. Concluding that the ring would be an excellent place in which to do this, he assumed the rmw namn of Tom Jackllna. entered the pro ranks, and cooled the then champion. Jack Jams, In Just to minutes. He was then 33 years old. In 1789 six veara later, he waa still on top of the help and retired. In 1791, after losing all his1 winnings In gambling, he tried to recoup his losses, snd came hack sgalnst the next champ, "Big Ben" Brain, of Bristol. Jackllng lost, out ne too 18 rounds to do It tn.

The epidemic of mad dogs and coy otes has become especially wide spread In the San Fernando valley, where dairy herds valued at million of dollars are being guarded by fence riders who remain on duty day and night to drive off dogs and coyotes.
