JOHNSON AWAITS
CHANCE TO MEET
Another capacity crowd Ii ex
pected at Medford armory to
night when Gloomy Gust John-
. ion tries his hand at an attempt
to stop the Gray Mask In the top
main event of Promoter Mack
Llllard's weekly bone-crushing
contest. "Old Stoneface," as the
Mask Is known to the grappling
profession, has promised to un
mask if legitimately beaten and
Johnson aims to do a thorough
Job of it In order to find out
what the Mask has under his
hood which makes his head
butts so dangerous. Llllard cau
tioned that his agreement with
the Mask does not call for him
to unmask if he loses a match
by a foul but only if he is planed
for the best two out of three
falls.
Interest In the semi-wlndup
has reached a high pitch the past
few days, closely rivaling the
main event enthusiasm. Terrible
Tony Ross will be given a
chance to get even with Jack
Klser for accepting a decision
on a foul in their match three
weeks ago. Ross claims his choke
hold was not enough to justify
Referee Earl Yoakley's stopping
the match and promises to go
all-out to even the score.
Ernie Piluso and Milt Olson
meet in the 8:30 curtain raiser.

A vastly-Improved Ashland
high basketball crew will enter
tain the league-leading Medford
Black Tornado Friday night in a
Southern Oregon conference
clash booked for the Ashland
junior high gym. Medford, rid
ing atop a 12 game winning
streak, polished off the Klamath
Falls Pelicans in easy fashion
In their last trip to the hard
woods but figure to encounter
considerable trouble with the
Grizzly aggregation.
Coach Al Simpson said today
he is still working on improve
ments in nil team's fast break
and man-to-man defense, as well
as strenous practice at the free
throw line.
Klamath Falls will be making
a desparate bid to keep out of
the cellar position wnen iney
meet the Grants Pass Cavemen
at Grants Pass Friday and Satur
day nights. Should Grants Pass
come through with victories
both nights the Pelicans will be
come owners of the bottom spot.
Simpson announced today that
Salem will meet his team in a
return game here February 6.

New York, Jan. 23. (U.R)
Eddie Eagan, new chairman of
the New York boxing commls-J
sion, will tackle soon the most
perplexing problem in all sports:
the proper scoring of fights. He
seeks an accurate, fool-proof
system to neplace the dissatisfac
tory round-by-round method cur
rently used In New York and
many other states.
Blunt-nosed Eddie, former
Olympic and A.E.F. champion
made this announcement at the
annual boxing writers' dinner
last night in Ruppert's brewery
where Li Cmdr. Benny Leonard
was presented with the Edward
J. Neil award for outstanding
contributions to the sport dur
ing 1944.
Eagan seeks solution to the
problem that has baffled experts
since finish-fights faded out in
most states In the early 1900's.
uesplte improvements In tech
nique and staging during almost
a half-century, . no satisfactory
method of scoring has yet been
discovered. Boxing stands out as
the only major sport in which a
(Ull-custance winner Is deter
mined entirely by the opinion
oi officials. Even racing has Its
SET FOR CHICAGO
Chicago, Jan. 23 (U.R) A
three-ring bowling marathon,
worth record $69,400, opens

bowler a chance to grab $8,100
in first prizes for 18 days work.
This all-time record purse will
be available in three separate
tournaments, scheduled to start
simultaneously and attracting
upwards of 2,000 of the nation's
greatest tenpln artists from the

33rd individual classic. Holding

star-spangled field will roll eight

photo-finish camera to decide ac
curately the victor In close con
testa. Close contests In the ring,
however, usually result In dis
agreement among the officials
In split decisions, and sometimes
draws. These verdicts nearly al
ways are accompanied by vocif
erous disagreement among box
ing writers and fans. This un
fortunate situation prevails for
the lowliest preliminary at a
small club or for a million-dollar
heavyweight title fight.
Several recent decisions In
New York provoked such wide
spread criticism and argument
that Chairman Eagan decided:
"Here is my first major task as
new head of the commission."
In seeking a solution, he will
hold conferences with ring offi
cials and with boxing writers,
meanwhile drawing upon his
own experiences as an amateur
boxing champion and as an offi
cial at amateur bouts.
BEAVERS REPEAT

The Oregon State College
Beavers last night routed the

time in the teams' current bas
ketball series.
The defeat dropped Washing
ton out of the conference lead
and shoved Oregon up Into first
place In the northern division
standings by a half game mar
gin. Oregon State now ha
firmer grip on third place.
