Polish Palooka Joe SmollnsU r eturned from the hinterland to punch and foul his way to a two-out-of-thre fall win over popular Steve Strellch of Holly wood. Blc Jarbo avenged a previous defeat at the hands of Sailor Ola Olson In the opener to cop a two- straight fall squabble. Lott and Chick staged one of the toughest matches seen here In aev- era! months. A former blocking bsck for the University of Alabama foot ball team, Lott brought tremendous strength and scientific ability Into play to earn his draw with the for. mer light heavyweight champion. So evenly matched were the two wres tlers that neither, at any time, was close to a fall. Chick attempted sev eral times to whirl Jimmy aloft for the deadly airplane spin, but always Lott was too agile and powerful to fall Into the maneuver. Lott's principal offensive weapon was a skull-crushing headlock. a hold that he applied with good nut not payoff effect. By superb wrestling skill. Chick always managed to break away from the hold, but he,. In turn. could do nothing much with the heavy-set Lott. Both boys turned villainous for a short spell after 50 minutes of torrid mat work, but Just as suddenly they shook hands and returned to the straight and narrow. The middle event came close to ending to a riot outside the arena. After Smollnskl had grabbed the third and deciding tumble In the fourth round with tniflo punches to the groin, Strellch heaved himself off the carpet to drive the Polish Palooka toward the dressing room with hay makers. Halfway there, Smollnskl stopped and challenged Strellch to a hand-to-hand encounter, an Invita tion the popular Steve accepted quick' ly. The pair slugged It out for about two minutes before Ray Prtsbee, former referee, and a couple of oops broke It up. Smollakl took the first fall In the second round via his usual routine knees to the groin, hair-pulling, dou bled flats to the stomach, rabbit punches, fingernails across the eyes Strellch came back to even the count in the next canto with a sensational leg scissors, procured when he hauled Smollnskl bsck from the shelter of the ropes by diving, feet first, over said ropes and clamping his educated ankles around the Palooka's thick neck, then dumping htm to the can vas with plenty of gusto. Blc Jarbo made short work of Ole Olson In the opener, clamping on a head scissors in the second stansa and winning In the third when Olson, raving mad, sent several vicious kicks to Jarbo's groin. Referee Earl Yoak ley awarded the fall and match to Jarbo amid a mighty demonstration by the large crowd. i 1 MAKE MINE j flD 09C- nrm (OOP far ibort) b II M J sU whisker-, (rand and glorious f I rombiastioo of smooth, mellow, straight m nil f l -hllkies. ramous since I8J8.

B1E IN RYS lj Sport Graphs Billy Haler 8ayi: Sport Scribes Boost Joe Gray for All-American The newspaper boys In Portland and otber north Oregon towns are certainly turning on the A 11 -American heat for TM Oregon State's J& .Ti-a flMtr T man they de clare him as good as any back that ever trod a northwest gridiron, which is saying plenty when you re member George Wilson, Johnny Kltzmlller, Red Franklin. Ed Goddard, Merle Huff or d and some others. s-iri-a tti Ulv Bolei It's not Just ballyhoo, though, because the brilliant Beaver halfbacJc has done a,bout everything this seas on anybody could ask olan AH-j American. His performance against j Southern California last Saturday, when he brought the Staters from behind a 12 -point deficit to tie up the ball game, was really an exhibi tion. Without Gray In there pitching touchdown passes and running like deer. Oregon Btate is a mediocre team. With Gray In the lineup, Stlner's club Is plenty tough. Although It's practically Impossible for any guy not playing on one of the top ranking teams to get an All-American tumble. Gray seems to be the class of the Pacific coast, re gardless of the Beavers' record, with the possible exception of Vic Bot- tarl, thunderbolt of California's Golden Bears, Gray Is out In front by ten miles. The Portlsnd sports writers, and even some from San Francisco, claim the. Ghost la better than Bottarl. We wonder 'what Gray could do to opposing aggregations had he that powerful California tfor ward wall In front of blm. ' Granted that Oray has an excel lent chance of being named one of the four finest backfleld performers In the country, who else on this coast mlghtly possibly crack the coveted flrat string? Well, we would say that California's Bob Herwlg, six foot, six inch center, had the best chance, although he was outplayed by Washington's Bud Erlckson when the two teams battled to a sooreless tie. Coach Jean Eberhart or Southern Oregon Normal can give a long sigh of relief now that his football season Is over, the gloomlrnt he hns experienced since taking over the reins three years apo. When the SONS lied Chlrn State Inst 8nturday. 6-6, thiK- wound up their schedule of a half-dozen battles still shy a victory. The team nt four times I-e.-i .,;s.-.-f and deadlocked a pair of en counters. This week, the lanky SONS mentor opens bssketboll prsetlee and we'll wager a dollar against a plugged peon- that "Ebble" and his SONS quintet more then mskes up tor the disastrous grid campaign. When it comes to tossing the oassbs through the netting, gentlemen who perform for the Ashland Institution are us ually way asad of any other team In the entire state. Jean expects six men back from ! the squsd of 10 that last year won the Oregon A.A.U. tournament In Portland and played In the national tourney at Denver. Walter Sether, huge center and end on the .'ootoall team, and Kan Schilling, reserve guard and the other footbsil flank man, are the only ones In school now, but four more are expected to enroll at the start or ths winter season. They are Darren Leavens and Bill Hoile, regular forwards: Howard Scrogglns. regular guard; and Parker Hess, reserve guard now doing duty on the Ashland city police force. Leonard Warren, former Ashland high luminary. Is In school and will be available, and Steve Fowler, pres ent Ashland high fullback, la ex pected to enter Southern Oregon Normal at the conclusion of the first high school semester, when he will be graduated. Fowler Is a sweet basketball prospect.. As usual, the SONS will take on a tough schedule. L'nlierslty of Oregon nil be played at Eu gene December 18, according to tentative plans, followed by a barnstorming trip to Ban lllego during the Christmas holiday, with about eight games already slated. Series will be staged with Oregon Normal, Albany, Willam ette, Llnfleld, Ml. Angel and Humbolt State, and berhart stated that Oregon State might be played. Independent clubs of southern Oregon also will be given a crack at the collegians. Some great basketball stars have oeen turned out from Southern Ore gon Normal. Bud and Willie Jones. Ward Howell.
