however, was the Washington
Jayvee victory. Not given a
chance by the predictors, the
Husky Jayvees finally squeezed
through by seven feet lq a tussle
In which there never was open
water between the two 60-foot
cedar stogies. And the jayvees
rowed the three-mile course in
only one second slower time
than did the Washington varsiiy.
As a matter of fact, the Cal

The Washington frosh won, as
expected, over the California

TO FACE BRAZIL
Y BOUT
Big, tough, burly Sockeye
Jack MacDonald returns to the
armory grappling ring Monday
night and Promoter Mack Lil
lard, fully aware of the terrific
drawing power possessed by the
ex-logger from Tacoma, expects
the North Bartlett street mat
center to be packed to the raf
ters. McDonald, absent from south
ern Oregon for a year and a half
on a tour of the south, east and
middle-west, will face the cur
rent number one wrestler of this
area, Handsome Pedro Brazil, In
the one-hour main event. The
South American hfawuicM
champion, who has captured five
locai maicnes ana dropped only
one, represents the toughest op
ponent it was possible for Lil
lard to pit against Sockeye.
Although McDonald Is a bruis
er, a rock-'em-and-sock-'em, el
bow and fist-punching pachy
derm who Isn't inclined to waste
time on pretty, scientific maneu
vers, strangely he was probably
the most popular matman ever
to appear. However, Sockeye
never stooped to foul or nasty
tactics, and for that reason the
fans turned out In droves to
watch him belt opponents dizzy.
If the big fellow hasn't chang
ed his method of operation, and
there is no reason to believe he
has, tomorrow night's struggle
should be the most thrilling of
the year. Brazil is capable of ab
sorbing punishment galore and
dishing it out on his own behalf,
and for this reason the battle
has all the earmarks of being
an outright slugfest.
Irish Jim Casey, topped only
by Brazil as .Medford s favorite
faces Broccoli Bob Kruse, the
barefoot gent, in the six-round
middle event, and Tug Carlson
clashes with Unorthodox Billy
Marcus In the four-round opener,
starting at 8:30 sharp.

panied by a paying customer, be
