It was announced today that the lineup for the five a-round battles will be picked from the cream of the southern Oregon man power. Oftloers of the COO who have watch ed the lads warm up are so Impressed that they have decided to pick the main event by lot, rather than try to settle the question on merit, Following boxing the Elks will see two wrestling matches, the first sver tc be sponsored by the lodge here. Promoter Mack Llllard haa selected what he considers his most colorful battery of four men, for two thtrty mlnute matches, to be staged under American rules. The main event will be between the beautifully built Joe Hubka, con sidered by many to be one of the most colorful and clever, wrestlers In the game, and Oeorge Craig, the Tulsa Blacksmith. Longfellow's de scription of a blacksmith describes the power-house Crslg In perfect de tail. To pit against Ruoka's terrify ing leg scissors, bottoms-up scissors, flying tackles and other devastating holds, Craig will again offer his anvil f.ip, a combination face lift and tight flying mare. The opening wrestling struggle will be between Prince 8111X1 Mlhalekla, Arabian flash (who lost his match with Wolfe here Monday when Wolfe turned dirty after being already thrashed), against Pat O'Brien, leath ery but clever Irishman. O'Brien Is e clean grappler, as Is the Arsb, and the match Is expected to be out standing. DECISION ISRAEL PORTLAND, Ore., Bept. 18.

Bartlett FANDOM RANDOM By DICS APPLEOATE, Frightened parents along the vari ous atranda leading to the Senior high school are locking their Small ohlldren In the back yarda these days. Police are getting frequent calls that escaped convicts are roaming the city in palrt and doxens. Barbers are shuddering with cold chills, The reason? A fair percentage of the aspirants for the 193(1 football team have ahaved their domes down to the point where they look Ilk Peter Lore In charaoter for a "ghast ly" role In soms movie, The Idea originated last year, and Is supposed to make the shaves ft very tough character Indeed. Sine football play ers are supposed to be very tough characters every little bit help we auppose. Only ft few of the very toughest sacrificed their curling looks during ! the 1095 season. This year the Idea has gained more secure root snd there Is ft marked rlae In sheep shear atook Red Root and Sam Richardson both end prospects, who may or may not trust the local hair outtlng fra ternity decided to do their own work on each other. If brevity Is the soul of wit, that accounts for the fact they're so funny looking, for they haven't over six Inches of hair be tween them. Asked what weapon was used In perpetrating the halrouts, Richardson swore vehemently that It was ft hair ollpper and denied stoutly that an ax and block of wood had been employed. There are ft few moth-eaten spots here and there, l lowlng the nude skull to show through, but these are evidently over looked In the satisfaction dsrlvsd from looking tough. There Is some move on now to have the regulations Insisting upon headgear abolished, to the opposition oan ase how tough they really are. This morning we spotted Richard- son rapidly pedaling hla way toward his atudtes at ft pace we thought en tirely foreign to him." The reason waa that his been was collecting frost faster than he could rub It off, and he wanted to get to school In time to Insert it In the fumaoe before his first class. He wanted to borrow our hat, only we left It some place and can't find It. Hair cutting Is not new In the stately halls of Medfnrd't highest seat of learning, We don't know how far back It goes as tradi tion, hut we entered the school Just ten years ago last week, equlped with as handome ft head of greased hirsute as you would care to see. As we remember It, we also sported a fuzzy but not Inconsiderable growth of side burn. We kept both through the first year for the simple reason that we skulked about behind raillnlors and under desks to keep from being stepped on for most of the year, and nobody noticed what tradition violator we were. The next year, however, did not go oft without ft few little hitches For one thing, we reported timidly for football, hair glistening In the afternoon sun In all ita full-blown magnificence. The stalwart sons of the gridiron examined us In stupefied amazement (their attention to ft spindly-legged sophomore was Indeed touching) for several days. Serene In the knowledge that we were at last making some Impression on the un couth athletes, we were quite proud of that first wsek. We're still a little vague as to what followed. Some 818-pound tackle, bucked up by nine men Just a little smaller, sclird us and , wrapped steel rallies around us from head to foot In order to oversome our natural resentment at being bodily attacked, but other and sundry puminellngs still remain ft mystery. We emerg ed from (he clmatlscment with several gobs of vicious smelling I and particularly tenacious chew- I lug gum In our curls. Of course ws had to have the underbrush around our ears chopped down by a barber that night, and by ; the time be had hewn away the gum we stood naked-headed and ! ashamed among our fellowmen. The brawny athletea kept ft suspici ous eye on us from that point for ward until our graduation. many years later, and by the time we got to the point where our haircuts were no longer supervised, we were getting bald and didn't oare much for Oeoiye Raft colffurea anyway. Our hair war never any shorter thsn a quarter of an Inch though, which may account for the fact that w weren't verj tough. MRS. EVA, MRS. WOOD I GO TO SECOND ROUND j PORTLAND, Ore., Sept. 18. (AP) !

T Sept. 16 (p The ghost of Walter J. Travis, who laid out the Oarden City golf course to suit bis skillful game, la raising hob with some of the world's most brilliant young players In the V. S. amateur championship, but smiling respectfully on many of the oldsters who are carrying on in the Travis style, Five genuine veterans and one "Junior veteran" remained In the field of 64 today as the tournament went Into lte first double header pro gram. By sundown the original start ing lineup of 130 will be shaved to 18 for the fifth round of the 40th championship. Ths old timers, such a Francis Oulmet, Max Mars ton, Charles (Ohlck) Evans, Jr., George Volgt El lis Knowles and the much younger Johnny Goodman, who belong., be cause of his experlenoe, are coping much better with the exacting par 78 layout than player many years their Junior.

They pass ed from the championship, oeaten by leaser light, a they batted the ball all out of proportion to the bound aries of the fairways and the brutally-trapped greens. Bill Holt, 34-yesr-oId Syracuse, N. Y., automobile salesman, who knock ed out Smith after wiping out a three-hole deficit with a eub-psr 35 on the last nine, met the Oanaolan, Joe Thompson, In the third round this morning. Holt and Thompson, buddies tor years, are camping out nearby In an auto-tralier. Goodman Going Good Hank Kowal of Hamilton, N. Y.. former Colgate captain, who tnu ne ed Hector Thomson 4 and 9, waa matched against ex-onampiun Mars- ton. Although anyone can fall victim to an la-hole matoh upsot, the Good man piokers seemed strongly en trenched. The blond-haired Omaha Insurance vendor wno won the open title three year ago, may prove the class of the field. A finalist In 1033, Ooodman In two round prowibiy, has been In less trouble than any other player, except Cincinnati's Johnny Fischer, who has shot par golt for two days. With Smith and Thomson reduced to the statu of spectators, ind Scot land's flashy Jack McLean tailing as yet to do anything ete.rtll.ig, (here waa a lot of support for Ooodman, Albert (Scotty) Campbell of Suattle, and some of the veterans to reach Friday's semi-finals.
