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.

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.

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
