Lillard Plans
Early Return Of
Local Wrestling
Beavers Soar to Loop Pinnacle on 45-35 Husky Defeat
Mack Lillard was in town yes
terday with the good news for
wrestling fans that he planned
to start grapple operations in
the armory along about the lat
ter part of next month or the
first of March.
The promoter, currently lo
cated in Klamath Falls where
ha Is connected with the dis
trict attorney's office as a spec
ial investigator, said he had
made arrangements to use the
armory for his gladiator extrav
aganzas as scon as the canton
ment architects move from
there to the administration
building being constructed at
the camp site.
It was the influx of these
architects and draftsmen, re
member, that caused Lillard and
his pachyderms to vacate sev
eral months ago. Since then
there has been no wrestling In
town, and Lillard's statement
that it will be resumed in the
near future will be hailed with
joy by local lovers of the mat
game.
Whan wrestling does get
under way again htre it will
be with real heavyweights,
with the big boys who weigh
from 200 pounds on up to
astronomical heft figures.
Mack explained he had made
plans to get the giant fellows
now operating in Ban Fran
cisco and Portland, offering
them two nights in a row in
Klamath Falls and Medford.
Later, when the cantonment
la constructed and the troops
are brought in, Lillard believes
' he will be able to stage boxing
cards, perhaps once week.
Mack attempted to break
away from wrestling and pro
mote mitt shows in Klamath
Falls, ' but it just didn't work
out despite very fine publicity
and good bcuts at first.
He had about 40 fighters of
his own In Klamath county and
for time the cards drew well.
Then, the young punchers start
ed to Join the army or navy,
the draft caught others and
some went away to college,
leaving Lillard with nothing
much to effer the fans in the
way of capable talent. His big
gest drawing card, Urgel Snapp,
enrolled at the University of
Idaho and that Just about put
the business on the rocks.
Crowds started to get smaller
and smaller because of the lack
of good fighters, and finally
Mack buttoned it up and de
voted his entire time to his Job
with the Klamath county dis
trict attorney.
Now, however, with the
Mtdford cantonment certain,
Lillard is not only going to
resume cpcratlons htre. but
In Klamath Falls, also. Jan
uary 27 will be the first
wrestling card in Klamath
Falls In over three months,
and the promoter believes the
heavyweights will pack
'em in.

Corva'.lls, Ore., Jan. 20. UP)
Besides field goals, an even
break on their Willamette val
ley invasion and a return to
first place in northern division
Pacific Coast conference basket-
hall standings will be the goal
of the University of Washington
Huskies tonight.
In order to achieve the double
objective, however, the Huskies
will have to do better against
the highly touted, veteran Ore
gon State quintet which took a
45 to 3S victory here last night.
The cautious but eagle-eyed
Beavers took over the division
lead with two wins and one
defeat, compared to three wins
and two losses for Washington
Tonight's outcome will deter
mine whether the Beavers tight
rn their hold on first place or
yield it again to Washington.
Shooting Good
Leading 28-19 at the half as
a result of a five-minute scoring
spurt, the Beavers resorted to
a conservative game, retaining
control of the ball most of the
time and scoring a large per
centage of their shots while
their modified zone defense had
Washington firing at random
with uncanny inaccuracy.
No more than two point
separated the teams during the
nrst is minutes. In the closing
minutes of the half, big John
Mandic, star Beaver center, and
forward Sam Dement boosted
the margin by nine points.
-ne Huskies once managed
to close In at 33-29, but could
get no closer in the second
period.
Dement'a IS points were high
while Dcug Ford led the Huskies
with nine. The Beavers eot 17
f'eld gojls In only 40 attempts
while Washington connected
with only 10 out of 74 shots.

Some 3,000 students engage in

The University of Southern
California's trend is toward in
creased minor sports activity

are Washington State college
and the University of Idaho.

By Judson Bailey
New York, Jan. 20 IP) The
fabulous baseball career of
Rogers Hornsby, the greatest
right-handed hitter of all time,
carried him Into the hall of
fame today.
The "Rajah," who performed
for five different clubs and
managed four of them in a 23
year span in the majors, who
batted over .400 in three seas
ons and twice was named the
most valuable player in the
National league, who earned
perhaps half a million dollars
from baseball and lost most of
it, received 182 votes out of 233
cast by baseball writers.
As a result a bronze plaque,
bearing his dimple-cheeked like
ness, will soon be placed along
side those of baseball's other
immortal s Cobb, Wagner.
