CHICK AND LOn
TOIL 10 DRAW IN
T
Bobby Chick and Jimmy Lott, two
great little grapplera. went 00 mln- !
utes to a draw last night In the j
main event of Promoter Mack Lll- !
lard's weekly program at the Med-
ford armory, with neither able to grab
a tumble. 1
In the middle vent. 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

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

the first meeting of the winter sports
organization this year. A small but
enthusiastic gathering met In the

It was pointed out by Harold Lar
son, president, that because of the'

tered In the .Mt. Ashland district,
which Is only about 16 miles from
Medford. The ski run there Is ex

many small tree stumps. These
should be eliminated for the sake
of safety, he explained.
It was also decided to attempt to
obtain one or two expert skllers to
be available for beginners this win

by these experts probably once a
month.
Membership goal was set at 100
