Lillard has stated that 'The Angel" will be pitted against the best opponent available, and McDonald, desiring the match above all others, has made up his mind to go undefeated to morrow night and the Monday following in order to retain his present top ranking among the current matmen, Sockeye realizes full well that If he should lose to Corbett tomorrow night, and if Mihal lkis defeats Broccoli Bob Kruse in the six-round middle event, that Mlhalikis, Instead of him, will gain favor In Llllard's eye and perhaps be given the match with "The Angel." For this reason McDonald is determined to dispose of Corbett, as rapidly as possible. Joe will outweigh McDonald, but whether he can withstand the punishment he is certain to receive is a rather oouduui question. Corbett can punch and he can wrestle, and if McDonald starts punching Joe won't be mystified. Mihalikis should have his hands full with Kruse, one of the best wrestlers now working southern Oregon. Opening the card at 8:30 will be Soldier Joe Buccola, a new comer, versus Cliff Olsen. Buc cola is wrestling Instructor at Hamilton field in California. SCHOOL NET ACE S TITLE Philadelphia.
