OCTOBET? 21. 1936 "Buzz" Brown Risks Featherweight Mitt Title Here Monday Night T Promoter Heeds Demands Of Fans For Change Of Diet Three Other Bouts To Round Out Program. A boxing match for the feather weight championship of the north- west will be held In Medford Mon day evening, with Elnier "Bum" Brown, 138-pound dynamiter aa the defending champion against At Mua tola, young Spokane alugger, In a 10 round battle. The boxing match will take the place of the usual weekly wrestling card, Promoter Mack LUlard ' an nounced today. Brown has for several months been the headllner In boxing battles In Portland, Tacoma and Seat tle, putting the finger on the Port land pride, Al Spina, by a 10-round decision to ricochet Into the lime light. Brown Is a former St. Paul, Min nesota, acr&pper, and will be boxing In Medford for the first time. He l said to be an aggressive glorj tosser with the killing Instinct of a Jack Dempsey despite his size. Recently Brown battled Henry Armstrong, California featherwolght champion, In a 10-round match and lost by a close decision. Recently he fought Varla Milling, champion of the orient from Manila, and got i draw from the fast and clever Pill plno. LIUard eald he decided to put on 'the boxing card Instead of wrestling fter hundreds of southern Oregon fans had asked for It. He would have oreaented the card last week, he said, but could not secure Brown. Mustola has been asking for a ohanoe against the lashing Brown for several months, and Intends to lift the crown Monaay here If he can. If Mustola wins, either by knockout or a decision, the title that was created by the Portland boxing commission In 1034 will go to him, Lillard said. The northwest featherweight belt carries a 138 pound limit, as com pared to the world title limit of 138 pounds. Brown has frequently been mentioned ss a world title contender aa soon as he gets more ring experi ence, Ullard said, and can out his fighting weight to 138 pounds If nec essary. The championship battle will be the main event on a card that will see three other bouts. A six-round eeml-wlndun will be offered, with Llllard still negotiating for two out standing punchers. There will be two preliminary cards, possibly with southern Oregon contenders If two men of sufficient talent can be se cured, LUlnrd aald. The fight that saw Brown lifting the title he holds from the brow of Spina was held In Multnomah sta dium In Portland, and drew almost 10,000 spectators.

The attitude of Orants Pass, as well aa the attitude of the team la Illustrated In the fol lowing clipping from ' Calling 'Em Out, Grant Pass sport column "The eyes of every football fan In southern Oregon turns this week on next Saturday's tilt at Medford be tween the Oranta Pass Cavemen and the Medford Tigers, for, aa far aa Grants Paaa la concerned, the con ference crown la at atake. "If the Cavemen win, the crown is theirs, and with a dozen other teams they will get a crack at the "state title," for they have won their other two conference games, if the Black Tornado wins, Medford still has to fight It out with Ashland and Klam ath Falls, and there would still bo a possibility of either a three-way or a two-way tla. "The two teams stack up power fully strong on the record sheets. The Blue and White has five straight, victories and no losses, against their five opponents the Cavemen havo made nine touchdowns and scored : seven conversions with 38 first downs for a total of 61 points. The five op ponents have been held to two touch downs and no conversions, with 36 first downs, for a total of 13 point. "The Bengals, on the other hand, have made three atralght vlctorler, but started their season with a losa to their alumni squad. Then the; defeated Eureka, Roseburgand Marsh -field with lop-sided scores, the Tiger regulars playing only a few minutes of the last two games to take long leads over Roaeburg and Marshfleld. "A Portland sporta scribe tried to hand Medford the crown (though It waa a pewter one) with the following song of Joy: 'Looks tike another winning high school football team for Bill Bowerman at Medford. To date Medford haa defeated Eureka, winner of the northern California championship last year; Grant high school of Sacramento, and Roseburg.' "Only the Sacramento victory seems to be a myth. For the Tlgera never played them. Probably hadn't thought of it. And the Portland tscrlbe over looked the 13-0 drubbing the Black Tornado took from the Alumni at the , season outset, "But that whipping waa good for them. With that over their heads, the Tlgera have the reminder that they are not Invincible and that tf they are going to win football games they will have to play football.

"The Blue and Whit showed no championship atuff In lhat game. Although Associated Press aummed up the teams with: "Oranta Pas, only infrequently heard from as a championship oontender, stands abreast of the ever-powerful Medford eleven for southern Oregon confer ence honors,' the same source In an other story related some pitiful facta about last Friday's gsme about the fumbles, penalties, fluke touchdown, and nome of the other bubble-burst, lng Incident of the gam. "But 'behind the clouds the aun's still ahinlng. and there la Indeed a bright spot for the Cavemen In th game. They reallee fully the brand of ball they played against Treks and they have gone into practice this week with their heart set on reduc ing one certain Black Tornado to paper-tOMlng whirlwind on plucking tha Tiger' clawa and making the big cat purr. "More of that stuff, and less of the 'you better be scared of ua, we'Te won a game' attitude," and the Cave men will stand every chano of put ting the sktda under Bowerman' rapid action machine. Thla seaaon the Cavemen have shown that the? ran ipet heavy odd, and on the Medford turf field Saturday after noon they will have th ehaae of their lire not only to vindicate th Yreka game but to block th Tor nado'a sweep."
