RING RIVALS SET FOR GO TONIGHT BET Gray Mask and Coast Champion Ready to Settle Wrestling Differences. TONIGHT'S CARD Jack Lipscomb vs. Gray Mask Rufus Jones vs. Herb Parks Joe Lynam vs. Gorilla Poggi Norval Stockstill, Talent wres tler who has recently been cam paigning in Washington, will ref eree the grudge match between The Gray Mask and Jack Lips comb, coast junior heavyweight champion, at Medford armory tonight, Promoter Mack Lillard said today. -Stockstill, besides being a coming professional grappler, holds a Washington referee's license and has had considerable experience as third man in the ring. Lillard obtained Stockstill's services when Lipscomb de manded a return match with the Hood with another referee. He claimed he was "robbed" last r m made from Heinz own "Aristocrat" tomatoes and rich, thick cream week when he lost to the Mask on a foul. The match promises to be one of the wildest contests Lillard has ever dished out at the North Bartlett street grappling bin. Bad blood has existed between Lipscomb and the mystery man for some time and neither stops at anything to gain the margin of victory. Herb Parks, veteran Canadian champion, takes on a tough foe in his effort to earn main event status when he tangles with Rough Rufus Jones, colored vil lian, in the other half of the dou ble main event. Jones is a spe cialist at hair-pulling, eye goug ing and other uncouth maneu vers and figures to deal Parks a bad time. Joe Lynam, the flashy young ster from Redmond, will mix with Gorilla Poggi in the 8:30 opener. Lyman, recently dis charged from the army after nearly four years in the South Pacific, gave the Mask a sound thrashing in Portland Monday night and figures to do likewise with Poggi.

The 222-pound Cestac was credited with technical knock out over his hopelessly outclass ed opponent in the first round of a scheduled 10-round main event at the Oakland auditor ium. But the real drawing card of the evening was the first pro fessional fight of Johnny Eharb. Louis' 189-pound ex-service bud dy, who was tabbed an outstand ing heavyweight prospect by the champ. Ebarb was credited with a technical knockout over Melvin Baker, 192, San Francisco, when his opponent told his seconds he was unable to enter the ring for a second round. Ebarb, a former Hayward. Cal., amateur, toured North Africa and Italy with Louis in an exhibition tour.
