The one-week layoff was announced be cause of July 1 celebrations outside of Medford. Hesdlng the quartet of horrible he-men who will blaze forth In all their glory are, of course, Pete Bel castro and the Black Dragon, two of the meanest muscle-manglers to yet disgrace the local arena. Close behind In the matter of foul and underhanded tactics will come Monte LsDue, the ferocious Frenchmsn, and Gentleman Dale Haddock, who does not live up to his name. Outnumbered two to one, but re solved to uphold bravely the honor of the falr-halred grappling clan are Frankle Taylor, the clean-worker from Ohio State college and Frankle Stojack, another footballer of na tional reknown, he having done stout service In the line for Wash ington State college. Both men have more than once proved their capa bility of handling the toughest oi meanles, and they are not expected to fold up without serious argu ment.

All matches will be decided by the best two out of three fall or a one hour time limit.
