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.

Somewhere in the South

ordinary copper plate. Copper
bands, which have been soaked
in salt water, are fastened around
his ankles and connected to six
volt storage batteries. The treat
ment is continued for six min
utes and repeated for six or seven
days. Doctors say it has been so
successful that further use is
warranted.
