SET FOR ARMORY
ARENAJONIGHT
Wrestling fans who like their
matches rough and tough will
get a rare dish at Medford Ar
mory tonight when Promoter
Mack Llllard presents three
.thrill-studded clashes on his
weekly menu.
Topping the list will be the
one hour grind between the un
beaten Gray Mask and Bulldog
Jackson. This bout carries
grudge proportions brought on
by Jackson's continual heckling
and a verbal row that nearly
resorted in blows following last
week's matches.
' In the four round semi- wind
up Pete' Bclcastro will face
Ernie Piluso In a match that
threatens to rival the top go for
rough action. Belcastro's alley
type tactics are known up and
down the coast as is Piluso's
ability to deal with men of this
type.
. Opening the program at 8:30
will be a three round clash be
tween Pat (Rowdy) O'Doudy
and Earl Malone. Neither re
sort to clever wrestling if he
can get In a stiff blow or other
Illegal maneuver.

Chamber Informed
Parks Need Not Be
Near Main Highway
In response to a question re
garding the location of state
parks, the 'Chamber of Com
merce has been informed that
while they are usually located
near highways, this ia not a
hard aid fast rule of the nigh
way commission. The inquiry
was made in relation to the pro
posal that a tract of land be
obtained along the banks of the
Rogue river for a state park
when Camp White is released
by the army. -
Frank Hull, manager of the
Chamber of Commerce, wrote
the commission about the mat
ter when it was brought to the
attention of the chamber that
the parks are for the most part
near highways. S. H. Board-'
man, state parks suerintendent,
pointed out - in his ' reply that
two of the recently acquired
state parks are located two and
four miles, respectively, from
the main highway ln the area
served.
