Newspaper Page TextMEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD, OBEflOX. WEDNESDAY. MARCH IS, 193S PAGE FTVkj IS Ken Hollls, Oaf of th Ozark And pet hat of the Med ford wrestl ing fraternity, who was tentatively acheduled to tackle Pete Belcaatro. Pacific coast junior heavyweight champion, on Monday night's main went at the Armory, la planning a run-out, It wu learned today. Hollls, who ha taken two atralght beatings In the Med ford ring, at the hand of Dude Chick and Al Karaslck, Monday night wired to the home booking office In Los An geles requesting that his schedule be altered and he be returned there. Re gave no other reason than that Referee Ray Prlsble was unfair to him In the ring, and that he was tired of wrestling In this commu nity. The Arkansas meanle la ,under the jurisdiction of Promoter Mack Lillard jon a three weeks contract, and Lillard holds a fourth week op tion to hold Hollls over If he so desires. He aald today that If Hollls takes the run-out powder and re turns to Los Angeles without meet ing Belcastro he will ask the Med ford boxing commission to suspend Hollls indefinitely. Lillard also stated that he would ask the Lc Angeles booking office to have the Arkansan barred from any ring coming under the Los Angelea Jurisdiction, which Includes all California arenas. Hollls and Belcastro met in Klam ath Falls several months ago end Hollls won. In a later bout In Los Angeles Belcastro avenged that de feat with a resounding thumping handed the unorthodox Hollls, al though the Arkansan claims that the defeat has nothing to do with his determination to leave this dis trict. There Is a possibility that either Dr. Barney Cosneck or Al Karaslck will meet Belcastro on the main rent if Hollls departs, Lillard said. Another possible opponent for the versatile Italian Is the flre-eatlng Mike Caddock, the promoter Indi cated, . although he would make no definite announcement until the Hollls affair Is settled. "A battle between Hollls and Pete would be a natural, with the Med ford fana well acquainted enough with Belcastro to know what he can probably do. Hundreds have asked me to arrange that match and I In tend to do It or have Hollls sus pended." Lillard said. Stanley Rogers, who appeared her for the past three weeks, will not be on next week's card. The loss of Rogers, and the probable loss of Hollls has resulted In the probability of at least two new faces, according to Lillard, who said that he is ma neuvering for the pick of the Los Angelea crop. INVnFWOHENTO Political Faith of PWA Workers No Bar To Jobs WASHINGTON, March 18. W Harry L. Hopkins wrote all WPA state administrators today that "no person shall bo employed co discharged on the ground of hli support or non-support of any po litical organization." The works progress boas, whose administration has been accused of political activities by republi cans and Senator Holt (D W. Vo.). said his notice was to be posted in every district office and deliver ed to the foreman of every project, SPRING FOOTBALL PRACTICE STARTS NEW ITT TALENT TO ELKS RING OF Southern Oregon housewives will be shown all the advantages of cook ing with gas at a special demonstra tion to be conducted in Medford to morrow, Friday and Saturday under the direction of Mrs. Ann Chaney, of Portland, afternoon sessions being acheduled for the three afternoons from two to five o'clock at 38 South' Grape street, south of the Liberty building. Mrs. Chaney, a well-known home economics authority, was secured by the Southern Oregon Gas corpora tion to acquaint women of this lo cality with Important features relat ing to best results in cooking on gas ranges. The visiting culinary expert will work In cooperation with mem bers of 4-H clubs of Jackson county, according to D. E. York, manager of the local branch of the Southern Oregon Gaa corporation. "Our company extends a cordial invitation to all women of the valley to attend the 'Gas Cooking Days, regardless of whether they are now usera of gas ranges." Mr. York stated today. The cooking demonstration will launch an extensive drive to familiarize southern Oregon house wives with the numerous sdvantages nf cooklnc with rs. Several new fighters will make their appearance Thursday evening when the second card In the new Elks-CCC series is staged at the Elks' Temple, Anton Karaus, 160, Prescott. who I has been training in Johnny RosdU's Roxy Ann stables, will make his debut against the slightly erratic Mr. Wild Man Simmons, of Headquarters Detachment, in one highly promising event. Karaus Is said to lean towards the back-alley school of fisticuffs and will depend on rugged nees rather than polish to give him a win. Sim mons, on the other hand, has decid ed to climax his fighting career with a knockout victory I Although he is said to have knocked himself out by hitting his chin on the canvas when one of his wild swings missed fire. Simmons has yet to feel the warm glow of satisfaction a fighter experi ences when his opponent bites the dust. It will be Anton's misfortune to encounter Simmons in this vici ous mood. Chester Tracy, 135, prescott, who won by a technical knockout recent ly over the highly touted Jhnny Walker of South Fork, will meet Joe Luohesi, 137. Oregon Caves, in a match that should provide plenty of action. Luchesi is a dependable per former while Tracy has indications of developing into a, big favorite here. Eddie Metz, 133, Detachment, will meet John Dean, 131, Prescott, in a bout that will bring together a pair of willing but inexperienced boys. Metz has been anxious for a bout and has been training religiously at the fairgrounds. The main event, previously i nounced. will bring together Robert Barth, 180. Steamboat, and John Dutcher, 180. Wimer, in the first heavyweight bout the district has seen in months. The two met be fore in an exhibition and after tast ing each other's leather expressed ( desire to mix in a serious bout. John Rosdil, 118, Prescott, and Nat Lombardo, 118, Oregon Caves, will meet in another installment of their continued battle that hasn't yet been settled to everybody's satis faction. Homer Butcher, 150. Steamboat, will meet Russ Blacksmith, 152, Wlmer, In a bout that will bring to gether two tough, sturdy boxers. The card will follow the election of officers at the regular lodge meet ing. Friends of Elks, as well as Elks themselves, are invited. Reversing an earlier decision to hold back on spring football for an other month. Coach Bill Bowerman of the senior high school announced today that, in view of the excellent weather now prevailing, spring foot ball will get under way next Monday. The grid sport will not be strenu ous, only light drill being Indulged In for most of the season. Passing, backfleld work and line fundamentals will be stressed, the coach said. Since football will have to be wedged in between track and baseball, it is probable that there will be no scrim mage at all. Russ Achison. Junior high school coach, will bring his entire squad to the senior high field, giving the Jun iors the chance to learn the funda mentals along with their older broth ers. Achison, himself an outstanding kicker while In college at Oregon State, will utor the men on punting and will als otake charge of the pass ing Instructions. Backfleld Coach Ed Klrtley' wilt drill his charges on the pivot, kick- over,, spin, cutback and otner intri cacies of the backfleld art of return ing the ball as far as possible, while Bowerman will take over the line duties. Included in the spring train ing will be the use of the open for mation, with Bowerman himself In charge. Prospects for a good grid season next year are bright, with tne oniy key men lost from last year's state championship team being big Bob Smith from the halfback post, ana Stan Kunzman , veteran wl ngman Part of the duties of the spring ses sion will be the finding of men to reolace these two stars, Bowerman said.
