Johnson, who asked for the bout, was given preference over Ernie Piluso of Portland, also seeking the contest, because of bis incredible showing here for the past several weeks. Johnson has lost but one match, later squaring accounts, and two weeks ago held Pete Belcastro to a draw. Belcastro and the Mask went to draw last week. Tony Ross will be out to even " things with Jack Riser when they come together In the semi windup. They met recently in a match that bad customers stana lng in their chairs before the bout was awarded to Kiser on a foul because Ross refused to re linquish a choke hold. Piluso, who was defeated In his last appearance here, agreed to Lillard's proposition that he start at the bottom to earn a shot at the Mask. He will collide with Milt Olson In the three round opener which will go to the mat t 8:30.

Mail bag: A letter from Pri vate Buck, still in the Marianas. He enclosed a 10 yen note which he said had been taken from a dead Jap December 7th. "You asked me what the boys like to hear about. The main thing is any hint we can get about when we are to be allowed to go home. That is discussed from the time we get up until hours after we've gone to bed.

As my last name starts with a W you see where that puts me. I wish I had a name be ginning with A; or double A. "Too, the boys like to hear about parties; small ones, not big Dretentious ones. And nothing about service men in the states. if you please, but we can never hear too much about those we know in theatres of operation. Families writing to their boys should write as much as they can about the dog; or horses, if they have them. All the boys are afraid things will be changed when they get back. They don't like to thing about that. They are afraid they won't fit In. And there's no such thing as enough letters. Especially those about home and members of the fam ily. They like to know every little detail. I know I do. Also they like to hear about the fac tory or plant or store or mill where they worked before they went Into the service. "Our Christmas this year wasn't so hot. For most of us it was the third Christmas out here. Our Christmas dinner was good yet the men just came in and ate like it was any other meal, get through it as quickly as they could and went back to their tents. There was no sitting around the table and talking as there should have been." So goes the last letter from Private Buck. He mentioned one other thing. He says the favorite radio singer of all the boys Is a Lena Machado; that they can never hear, too many songs sung by her. I am not familiar with this singer of Hawaiian songs but I mean to become so. If she pleases the GI's, I'm sure she's worth' hearing, Steel Bibles Of No Protection To GI's Washington,' Jan. 24.
