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.

FOOTBALL TAKES
BACK SEAT UNDER
NEW LOOP SETUP
Physical Fitness First Is
Goal of Conference
Frosh Rule to Be Talked.
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.
Officials blamed "sticky" snow
which they said prevented ski
ers from attaining the speed
that might have hurtled them
off the takeoff to record dis
tance. WINGS AWARDED

Stanford and Dartmouth, the

The game appears a toss-up
because of a thread of similarity

themselves.
Both are hard-driving, fancy

"Even the broadest questions

' Such discussions will teach
each member of the family to
evaluate the rights of others

"A spirit of tolerance is not
enough. We must learn to live
