MK MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE Thursday, Sept. 29, 1944 meets KATONEN Head Crackers to In Top Half of Collide Double Main Event; Gong at 8:30 It will be Paavo Katonen's turn to feel the stunning shock of a hard-as-rock cranium smash ing Into his when he goes against the "Gray Mask," hooded bad man, In the top half of a double main event in the armory grap pling ring tonight. The "Mask," whose vicious head-butts cooled off Coast Light-Heavy Champ Jack Kaiser on last week's program, plans to emDloy the same devastating, but legal, tactics against the husky Finn, ex-coast titlist. Head-Butts Legal Those head-butts are legal that is. if "The Mask" hasn't concealed under his bonnet some sort of a shock absorber. From the way he staggered Kaiser last week by ramming his noggin against Jack's, while remaining upright and apparently unaffect ed by the collisions, himself, a touch of suspicion was injected Into the minds of a number of fans and members of the box ing and wrestling commission. Is the "Gray Mask" just a hard-headed hombre who can knock guys silly with his dome, or does he have under the head covering a concealed weapon? That's the question that has been asked by more than one local citizen ever since last Thursday night. - Nobody knows for sure, but suspicions have been aroused and it can be stated that the boxing and wrestling commish will watch things pretty closely when the "Mask" and southpaw Katonen start tossing and belt ing each other around the area. Kaiser vs Davidson Kaiser, fully recovered from the beating he suffered at the hands of the "Gray Mask" last weekv will tackle Harold (Buck) Davidson In the lower half of the double main event, both of which will be for an hour's straight wrestling time or the best two out of three falls. Davidson is inclined to be rather off-color in his mat work at times ami " appears Kaiser has his work cut out for him.
