"Well, the southerners are liter

According to Hunt Clark, who
saw the Mcdford-Klamath Falls
game and relayed information on

touchdowns better than Medford
right now, but adds that the
potentialities on the Tomado
club are nothing short of terrific.
As for Eugene, they still have
four and possfbly flv fwnet
standing in their way of district
honors. They must get by Cor
vallis, Albany, Salem, Milwau

earn the District 3 berth.

IN BOUT TONIGHT
Paavo Katonen's threat to un
ma.sk the Gray Mask or "get
whipped in the attempt" will be
the main event offering at Med
ford Armory tonight when these
two head - butting gladiators
clash In the final bout on the
evening's card. There is expect
ed to be little or no actual
wrestling in this match, but in
stead a lot of unorthodox maneu
vers. Katonen has promised to
meet the Mask on any terms the
mystery man sees fit to use and
in the past these have been any
thing but legal.
The Mask claims that he
weighs 180 pounds but wrestlers
who have met him in the ring,
as well as spectators, complain
that he will undoubtedly tip the
scales at over 200 pounds.
Ernie Plluso and Herb Parks
are down for a four-round go in
the second spot a match that
should be the exact opposite of
the final bout. Both are masters
at science of the mat game.
Another bout that shows pros
pect of having no'little amount
of rough stuff Is the opener be
tween Tony Ross and Rowdy
O'Doudy. Ross, who was ham
pered by a touch of flu last
week, leans toward the dirty
side and O Doudy is unquestion
ably a character of that type.
This match goes to the mat at
8:30 promptly.
Pep Wins Decision
From Negro Boxer
Montreal, Oct. 28 (U.m
Featherweight Champion Willie
Pep of Hartford, Conn., added
another decision to his long rec
ord today, a 10-round verdict
over Jackie Leamus, negro box
er from New York, which he
gained unanimously from Mon
treal Athletic commission judges
last night.
There were no knockdowns
but Pep was at all times the
aggressor, keeping his heavier
opponent backpedallng toward
the ropes.
Pep weighed 127i. Leamus
13114.
Thomas Wins Easy
Bout At Oakland
Oakland. Calif.. Oct. 28 (U.R)
John Thomas, 139-pound slugger
from L,os Angeles. last niaht
scored an eighth round technical
knockout from Raimaro Alma-
gro, 140, Havana, Cuba, in the
main bout at the Oakland auditorium.
The Cuban's eye and mouth
were cut badly by continuous
rights to the face. Thomas had
the edge in each round.
