FOUH-J -MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE Wednesday. Julr 19. 1S44 SPORTS U in JSL 1 FANS FOR RETURN katonen Morelli Battle Ex . pected To Draw Full House Thursday Night ' Honesf-to-goodness "grudge" wrestllna matches occur In frequently, duo to a number of reasons, so when a real one comes along fans of both sexes arc Justified In working up a lot of enthusiasm over the affair. Thai's the way it Is with Med ford mat maniacs, and the bas4s for their "in a dither" mood Is Thursday night's return brawl between Panvo Katonen, light heavyweight king of the west noast and Tony Morelli of Flor ida, who is right handy with pop bullies among other things. The boys and girls who habl- tate the armory on Thursdny nights are expected to pack the place tomorrow evening. Pro moter Mock Llllard, looking for the biggest turnout of the year, will have 100 additional ring side chairs injlnlled and sug gests that reserved seats be ob tained as early as possible. Katonen Angry As or the match, itself, it may turn out to be the most sensa tional encounter yet staged here. Katonen, it's a cinch, won't fool around trying to wrestle! clearly with the character who I biffed him over the head, and Knocked him out with a pop bottle in their initial meeting last week. 1 The bla Finnish matman real ly has it in for Mnrelll, and with good reason. Although Paavo won the match, while uncon sclous, when the loral boxing commission reversed Referee Earl Yokloy's decision, he Just doesn t like foes who play that 'way. He doesn't like to win matches that way, either, and he has vowed to make Morelli sorry he ever resorted to the pop bottle. Morelli, who is big, powerful and dirty as they come, readily agreed to meet Katonen again. This somewhat surprised Lillard,' as he thought the Italian might perhaps be a little leary of what a revengeful Katonen. had in store for him. Morelli simply sneered at the mention of Katonen's name and said, "Hell, yes, I II take him on again. And this time there won t be any reversed decision. It certainly looks like an alley-brawl to end all alley brawls. Good Prelims The supporting matches arc pocked with color. Jack Lip scomb, almost as mean as Mor elli, will face Tex Hauger, re turning after a'five-year absence, in the center bout. Bulldog Jack son, the hammerlock specialist, will meet Herb Parks, clean grappling Candian light-heavy champ, in the opener. GOLFERS READY mrrxa : 'if ml ':r V " r-!A b fjui'tJ 1 .
