MEDFORD MATT; TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON. MONDAY, 'AUGUST 17. 1936. Trio of Meanies Meet Orthodox Grapplers on Tonight's Program PAGE TWO MONTGOMERY TO FACE GEO. CRAIG IN MAIN TUSSLE Warlike Cherokee Ike Takes On Hubka in Middle Event Glover Opens Card Against Walter Stratton For tha tint tme in many month the wrestling card at the Armory to night will have a roeanle In eaoh of the three bouts. Bob Montgomery, bogey man from Oeorgla and winner of all his matches here, will meet George Craig, highly rated newcomer in the main go, Cherokee Ike, Okla homa Indian who seems on a per petual warpath will meet the flashy Joe Hubka In the middle engagement, and Max Glover, another ace bad man, wilt . tangle with the human notst, Walter Btratton, In the opener. Not much Is known of Craig here other than that he won a reputation as a giant killer In a recent southern California tour. He Is said to like the rough going and la always happy to oblige an opponent who cares to Jug instead of wrestle, the former being Montgomery's long suit. The Georgian, with a good knowledge of the grappling game, prefers his meat raw, and would apparently rather mix In a good brawl than a good wrestling match any time. Craig, aid to be a well built young man, may temper much of Montgomery's feolsterousness. Cherokee Ike has had three matchea here and has lost all of them, but of the three meanlea on the card he aeems the moet sincere In his biting and gouging. When r hided last week by Bobby Chick on his "alley fight ing" the aborigine admitted that he couldn't 'wrestle much but that he could kick the stuffing out of a lot of men who thought they could. He drew a dangerous playmate In Hubka, whose charging sonnenberga have put many a ring rioter hors de combat for the evening. If he meekly takes the Indian's slugging and kicking without vigorous retaliation It will be the first time he haa pursued such a coxirse In Medford. Gone from here for nearly a year, Hubka returned leaner and faster, with a new scrap-book of holds. He has promised to uncork a few of the choicest against Ike tonight. Max O lover, venom vender from Detroit, took one look at Walter Stratton last week while the little weight lifter waa in his street clothes, and ran a risk of laughing himself to death. The animated atom does not look particularly awe Inspiring (aalde from his caul l flowered anten na) In his promenading duds, but his powerful muscles seem due to hand Qlover a bad Jar when the two tangle this evening. The first two matches are under the Australian system with the main tUAsel under American rules of two out of three falls. FRISCO FLY CASTER WINS CHAMPIONSHIP PORTLAND. Aug. 17.

Suffering from lark of practice ana wealth of confidence, and with their guna trained on the traveling Convlcta pro team, they wandered into the heavy aliening of a near great Crescent City team and emerg ed from the bombardment on the ahort end of a ia-6 acore.

"Down with Owena, the A. A. U, saya, because he refuaea to help them swell their coffers," exclaimed Larry Bnyder, conch of the four-mcdnl Olympic star. "Thero wns no need for thin sus pension except to save the face of the A. A. U, Instead Its face will have to be entirely rebuilt." The A. A. U., through President Avery Brundage and Secretary Dan Perrls, cracked down on Owens when they learned he had Jumped a sched uled tour of Scandinavian countrlea. Jesse himself did not appear par ticularly worried about the wholo af fair. "Whether I'm an amateur or not," he said. "Ifa a cinch I will never run for the A. A. U. again." For the present, Eddie Cantor's of' fer of 140,000 for a aorlea of personal appearancea aeems to be the best pro. feaelonal offer Owens has received Jesso cabled the comedian for more details. "There's not one boy of the team or maybe there's one nor one under ling manager who lan't fed up with the entire procedure," the coach aald. "The A. A. U.'a the buck-paaslngest outfit In the world. "The colleges provide 00 per cent of the athlotea and the politicians run the show. The boys merely are cattle being ahlpped about.

"Probably somebody fished and fished all over the lake with no luck at all until he hit that spot. Maybe he got several good strikes about there. Must have calculated in his mind just where the spot was and, next time he came out, brought those poles with him and drove them down, so he'd have something to tie his boat to."
