"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.

Pass teams In the past, Is not cower
lng with fear before the black Jugger
naut from Medford, they have- a
good team and they know U, and they
will shoot the works tnia week If they
have nothing left to play a single
game after that. 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. Get
ting cocky over a few wlrj haa put
more than one champion on the to
boggan. "And local fans saw what happen
ed under the lights of the Grants
Paaa field last Friday. An over-confident
set of butter-fingered Cave
men ball fumblera, secure In their
ardent worahlp of their prowess over
an undefeated record and In thel
Inherent superiority over a supposed
'lock of dubs from the pint-sized
town of Yreka, took an lll-earneil
28-0 victory over one of the scrap
plest and gamest teams that hss
played here thla year.
"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,

"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
