Trio of Meanies Meet Orthodox Grapplers on Tonight's Program

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.

"Down with Owena, the A. A. U,

"Thero wns no need for thin sus

The A. A. U., through President
Avery Brundage and Secretary Dan

Jesse himself did not appear par

"The A. A. U.'a the buck-paaslngest

"The colleges provide 00 per cent
