MEDFORD OREGON, MONDAY, APRIL 19. 1937 Drop Kick Artist Meets Sonnenberg Star in Armory Ring Tonight SAVICH AND ESTES TO TANGLE IN TOP GRAPPLING EVENT Smolinski Faces Cowboy McEwen In Semi-Windup O'Brien And Pettigrove Slated Opening Match. Two at the moat thrilling nd col orful mutuwi In th wrestling gun will be displayed to mat in. by axperta tonight when Danny 8a- . vlca tangles witn 'iwi xa.. iu main erent of Promoter Mack Ul lard'a weekly card at the Medford armory. From the gridiron of the University of Utah, Bavlcb has brought to the ring the sensational sonnenberg, the smashing, crashing brother of foot ball's flying block. And Estes, from his hundreds of grappling exhibi tions and from keen observation ol others' tactics, has developed a double-barrelled dropklck that ranks with the finest In tho game. Both Stars Both men are past masters of their fstvortte fall-producers. Savlcb, In his climb to the southern Oregon wrest ling pinnacle, has defeated alt and sundry by the expedient method of hammering them Into submission with his csnnon-bailing body, wnen Danny unllmbers and let fly from any angle, the recipient of that shocking drive is usuany ouv 01 things for several minutes thereafter. Following an absence from the Medford ring of aeveral months, Estes returned last week to dropklck big Pet Baltran from the picture with consummate ease. In doing so, he proved to his many friends here that be Is as good, If not better, than ever before, and that his dropklck, delivered with all the foroe of his powerful legs, Is etlU Just about tons la "box office" appeal. 80 tonight It will be sonnenberg versus dropklck, and the result should be the most Intrestlng fracas teen here In many moons. Beca-uss of the "natural" aspects of the brawl tonight, Promoter Ltllard Is expecting one of the largeat crowds sf the year. Advance ticket sales bear out this prediction, and fans art warned to get to the Armory early to Insure their getting seats. Meenle vs. Cowboy The middle event will be far re moved from the cleanle cleanle theme. It will see Joe smolinski. the Polish Pslooks, tangling with Billy McEwen from San Antonio, Tex. McEwen, formerly an honeat-to-goodneas cowboy on the ranges of the Lone Star state, Is clesn and ex ceptionally fast. As for Smolinski, the less said about that villain the better. Suffice It to stats that if ha wsre any dirtier, Ted Christy would be a hero in compsrlson. McBwsn first appeared here last week, and In a great match with Charley Carr took two straight tum bles to win the affair. He la short and stocky and one of the cleverest workers to be seen here. He proved that he could more than take care of himself against a eltan wrestlsr, like himself, but whst will happen when he meets someone like Smolin ski msy be another story. It win be read tonight. O'Brien In Opener Beeause the popular Charley Carr was stricken with appendicitis Friday and had the things yanked out, Pro moter Ullard has engaged Popeye OBrl-n, the wild Irishman, to tangle with Duke Pettigrove In the opener. Mssgrt reports concerning O'Brien are that he Is fsirly clesn until hsr rangued beyond sndursnce, after which he turns Into a veritable tor nado. There Is no half-way business with Pettigrove. according to those who know. He Is foul and dirty through and through. Ullard announced Saturday that Pete Belcastro, the Mad Italian, and Dude Chick, Junior heavyweight ehemplon of the world, would prob ably appear on next week's card, with opponent yet to be nsmed.

DR. WM. BRADY 'iH''"-?? ' Sport Graphs Billy Kulen 8ayi: Softball League Proposed to Pay For Field Lights "I think we may safely say that U there U enough business In sight, the Medford high school football field will be lighted." That, mattes. Is the official reac tion Of City School Superintendent E. if. Hedrlck to the many and va ried cries of local citizens to erect arc lights on that fine, green-turfed pigskin pasture, undoubtedly one of the best on the Pacific coast. In fact, the school 8upe goes even farther than that. In addition to announcing, almost unreservedly, that he was heart and soul In favor of the project, Hedrlck stated that nobody need worry about the financing of tbe lights. He would take care of that, without cost to the school board, and his only reservation was that there must be sufficient busi ness in sight to warrant the Job. Now of course Hedrlck doesnt mean that he will, personally, finance the project. Nobody is going to put up a cool 920OO, or near that, for the erection of glimmers no matter bow confident they are it will be paid out. What Hedrlck haa in mind la letting the benefits such a lighted field would bring stand the cost, In other words, let the Increased foot ball revenue, the certain soft ball rev enue, and money plunked down at the box office for other nocturnal activities erect the lights. His plan is simple and, because ol Its very simplicity, i by far the beat yet advanced. His Idea la for a well organized Softball league consisting of at least 20 teams, with each out fit forking over a lift entrance fee. The clubs to be formed from frater nal organisations, churches, earvlce clubs. Industrial and business firms. With that setup established, a small admission would be charged to all games, which would be played two at a time on the fine football field turf under lights. That plan la be ing followed In hundreds of towns and cities all over the country, and haa more than paid for lighted fields in addition to providing night sports for those unable to play or witness them In the daytime. By "business in sight" Hedrlck re fers specifically to the number of Softball players and teams that could be lined up, and could guarantee their going through the schedule. That certainly shouldn't be hard to Imagine, what with the hundreds of local addicts already r'aring to go. The Three Captains of The Great Plagues Tuberculosis, Cancer, Syphilis. Medical Science can cure or aid in every case. Science, backed by popular knowledge will conquer them. Dr. Wm. Brady is writing a series of seven factual, de tailed articles on the.Third Great Plague SYPHILIS. The First Article Appears TODAY Exclusively in the MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE What really need to be dona la for any organization, club or business firm in Medford that figures on spon soring a aoftball team tali year to get In touch with Hedrlck and pledge their support. With a sufficient number of teams guaranteed, the way would be clear for soma concerted action on the lighting plan. In addition to being quite a trap pier. Mad lord's number one hero at the present tune was also a pretty fair country pigskin perfftrmar. Danny Savlch started playing the gridiron game when he waa In knee pants in Salt Lake City, doing hla stuff for a Catholic church Junior high team called the "Wlldcata." After pro greasing from that stage into Troele high school, Danny tore opposing lines apart for four straight years, during which time his outfit won the state championship two years In a row and he made the all-state team a like number. While in high school, two of his teammates were Oeorge Mellnkovlcb and Joe Rlnaldl, later to become fa mous at Notre Dame. Danny was snapped up by the University of Utah when he aa finished with prep bail and played three years under Ike Armstrong, in 1930-'Sl-32. Weighing between 166 and 160 pounds, he was the lightest man to ever play In the line for the Utes, he holding down the center and guard posts. It was at Utah that he receiv ed national recognition. He was selected on the All-Rocky Moan tain Conference team at guard three years In a row, and his last year received All-American honor able mention from the national football board end Christy Walsh. Danny says be started wrestling In college to keep in shape for football. Ira Dern, Salt Lake city grappler and well known on the Pacific coast, started him on the professional trail, and since then he has appeared In almost every major city In the coun try. His first pro match was In 1936, so It can be seen that Danny has done considerable traveling. He was born In Jugoslavia and. wUb hla parents, came to Salt Lake City when he waa two weeks old. He still calls the Mormon city his home, but the life of a wrestler doesn't al low htm much time around the fam ily hearth.
