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.
T
SLATE PRACTICE
Basketball practice will start
at Medford high school after the
football game with Ashland
Nov. 9, Coach Al Simpson said
today. Only prospective play

officials of Klamath Falls, Med
ford, Ashland and Grants Pass,
comprising the Southern Oregon
conference, was held and it was
decided to play each other twice
instead of four times as in the
past. It was also voted to play
the annual tournamenj to deter
mine which team would go to
the state tournament. Grants
Pass and Klamath Falls voted
in favor of the tournament.
Ashland passed, and Medford
voted "no".
Among games already booked
by Medford are an Oakland,
Cal., boys club here, Coos Bay
and North Bend there, Eugene
and Salem here.

Knockout Victory
Oakland, Cal., Nov. 1 (U.R
Abel Cestac," towering Argen

Jack Dempsey, last ni?ht took
only one minute and 10 seconds
to defeat Harold Blackshear.
206, San Francisco, shortly after
heavyweight champion Joe
Louis watched a former scarring
partner coast to an equally easy
victory.
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.
