Cyanide Cy Williams Faces Pedro Brazil In Main Grapple Tonight TOPE EXPECTS TO DEFEAT PEDRO Thunderbird Meets Adoree In Middle Event Casey and Corbett to Open . Cyanide Cy Williams, tht ferocious Floridan and Pedro Brazil, ruler of all South Ameri can heavyweight, clash in the one-hour main event of tonight' triple-barreled Mack Llllard wrestling program in the Med ford armory. A firm disbeliever In the "good neighbor policy," at least when It hampers his Illegitimate acti vities In the ring, Williams plans to cool off the good-looking Ped ro ai rapidly as possible, and he isn't particular about the man ner in which he does the Job. Brazil, -likewise, has thoughts along similar lines, though with this difference: he wants to take care of Mr. Williams in an or thodox fashion. However. Pedro has proved in the past that he Isn't one to stand Idly by and let somebody tear him to pieces, 10 when Williams starts hit monkey business the customers can be assured that Brazil will answer in kind. Another Brawl Another brawlish business will probably occur In the six-round center match, when Chief Thun derbird meets Andre Adoree, the French-Canadian. The big Indian opens up by wrestling cleanly, but when things get tough he reverts to his savage instincts and does what he pleases. Adoree is also master of slightly off-color Uctics, so they'll both undoubtedly ham mer away for dear Ufa. r-The only match -on. the pro gram earmarked for straight grappling is the four-round opener pitting Jim Casey against Jo Corbett, and even in this something may happen to turn the thing Into a slugging match. But, according to their past rec ords, the boys will probably tick to plain and fancy bone bending. Llllard said that sections C nd D downstair would be thrown open to general admis sion, and that It would be "first come first served" for these choice seats.

Phils Top Citrus Circuit; Pirates Win Seven In Row By Austin New York, March 23 P) games, but the standings in bacball's grapefruit league present a strange picture today, even for pre-season competition. The Philadelphia Phils, who changed nothing except their manager for the 1942 campaign, are on the top. The New York Giants, who loaded up with all the sluggers they could buy, ere on the bottom. And the world champion New York Yankees are in the middle. Although they haven't limited their opposition to the major leagues, the Phils are sporting a five-game winning streak that should be enough to bring new hope to the long-suffering fans back home, to say nothing of owner Gerry Nugent, whose dol lars are at stake. - At the moment, however, the longest winning streak in the citik- circuit belongs to the Pittsburgh Pirates, who have won seven In a row sine drop ping a pair at the start and stand In second place among the 16 teams of the major leagues. Like the Phils, the Pirates claim a couple of double-A clubs among their victims, but they also have won two games each from the Chicago Cubs and the Philadelphia Athletics and one from the Chicago White Sox. Washington's Senators are keeping up their lively pace with 10 victories In 13 starts, all against major league oppo nents. The Nats have split a pair with the Yanks and the Brooklyn Dodgers and lost one to the Phils. But they hold three decisions over the Giants two over the Cleveland Indians and one each over the Boston Red Sox. Boston Braves and Detroit Tigers. a . i , -; . 4frv ! St . i ; : ' . Jr t.

By Oall Fowler Portland, Ore., March 23 (JP) Physical fitness first, and ath letics second. That will probably be the new goal of the Pacific Coast confer ence as the outcome of meetings of gradual managers and fac ulty representatives which got down to serious business today. Where heretofore King Foot ball has held the throne in the collegiate athletic setup, under the new dispensation to be adopted by the conference, foot ball will play second fiddle to the wider objective of physical fitness for all. Faculty men and graduate managers held Joint meeting yesterday at which the agenda of the current meeting was drawn up. Commissioner Edwin Ather ton said principal Items to be discussed would include revo cation of the freshman rule which bar first-year men from varsity competition; revision of other rules, including the resi dence rule, which might be af fected by wartime demands; and changes in schedules to include games with service teams. Atherton May Go Atherton also will request the faculty men to clarify his future status. His present contract ex plres Dec. 31, 1942. He receives $10,000 salary and $10,000 for office operation, the money com ing from the $25,000 the confer ence received from Rose bowl receipts. Shoayd there be no Rosa bowl game this year, the conference officials will have to figure out where to get the money for Atherton' office, or else suspend its operations. Regarding possible revocation of the frosh rule, Atherton said he doubted it would put any additional work on his office. "Of course, it might Mo one thing," he said. "It will mean that a freshman found ineligi ble under the conference code through our investigations will hav played a year of varsity competition instead of merely frosh competition. In effect our findings will be coming a year later than at present." Some quarters said the army's ban on crowds of more than 5,000 would be soft-pedaled or completely sidestepped by the conference. Others said, how ever, that the conference, later in the summer, might lay a comprehensive program before military authorities which in ef fect would offer a widespread physical fitness setup in r. colleges In exchange for mili tary concessions on the size of crowds. TOKLE UNABLE TO REACH 300 FEET Salt Lake City, March 23 (yP) The North American ski Jump ing record was still in the hands of Torger Tokle today and a 300-foot leap was still a dream Tokle, Afl Engen, Art Devlin and several lesser lights of the skiing world raced down Ecker hill yesterday and sped off the big takeoff hopeful of hitting the snow 100 yards away. But the Norwegian-born To kle, whose present record of 289 feet, could do only 235 for his best effort and the others trail ed him.
