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

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.

the floor at 7 o'clock tonight to do
battle wltb a still more decrepit five

be one of the meet laughable skir
mishes In local athletic history. The
creaky maneuvers are designed to
furnish capital with which to send
the Junior high Toy Bulldogs to
Reseburg Friday.
It was decided today that rather
than set a flat price of a dime for
admission to the classic, that coin
will be made the basis of operations
but anyone wishing to do so can
chip in a greater sum for the cause,
with no questions asked or an
swered. It is estimated that some
may be willing to pay more to see

with which they are not too familiar,

am .luninp htsh Coach Ruaa Acnl
son puts It, this faculty basketball
game may not no tna dbbi
ball game you'vo ever seen, but It
wUl probably be the funniest. 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.

RABJESSPREAD
LOS ANGELES (UP) Forest and
brush fires which have driven rabid
coyotes from the hills Into the In
hnblted lowlands, where they hav
bitten dogs, have resulted In an epi
demic of rabies that may necessitate
a state quarantine against dogs and
cats.
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.
Should the state quarantine be In
voked, officers would have the right
to shoot and kill all wandering doga
and cats and to enter homos to see
that pet anlmala were properly confined.
