One of the best grudge match es of the year will be fought at Medford armory tonight when Pete Belcastro tries to square accounts with Rough Rufus Jones, the Detroit Darky, In the top half of a double main event wrestling program, Belcastro is really peeved at the ebony tough guy because of treatment re ceived in last week's battle royal and figures to get even tonight at any cost. Jones demanded an exorbitant fee to meet the Weed Italian that Promoter Mack Lillard de cided he would be unable to put on the match. But Belcastro wanted the go so badly he was willing to give Jones most of his purse to arrange the battle. Norval Stockstill, young Tal ent wrestler who has been cam paigning in Washington for some time, has been brought to Medford to act as referee at Bel castro'a insistence, that a new arbiter be used.

(Happy) Chandler, assur ed of his position as the most powerful figure in organized baseball was determined today to remove the tarnish which has accumulated on the commission er's name since he took the job last April. "I believe a few mlsundcr standings were straightened out at the Joint meeting, ' Chandler said, "and I'm on the dead level to make the commissioner re spected throughout the nation." Minors Rebuffed Chandler's newly-gained con fidence stemmed from the joint session of the National and American leagues yesterday. The 16 club-owners closed out their annual winter meetings by re buffing the minor leagues and supporting the congenial Ken tucklan on every controversial question. Happy emerged from his first real test as a powerful fig ure. His votes decided two issues. Including unlimited night base ball. And the owners, In full re spect of his Judgment, backed him to the hilt against minor league proposals which the com missioner had termed "obnox ious," "illegal" and "unfair" dur ing the minors' meetings at Co- umbus, Ohio, last week. Player Bonus Tabled On other legislation, the ma ors backed Chandler by voting to: 1. Keep the $30,000 promotion fund in the hands of the commis sioner and the promotion com mittee. (The minors had asked that it be divorced from Chand ler's office.) 2. Table for future action the minors' proposal to outlaw bon uses to players at the time for signing. (Chandler was against It and the owners reipected his Judgment although the bill was scheduled to be passed.) 3. Extend the major-minor league agreement, baseball's con stitution, until January 12, 1947 The owners also voted the cus tomary $20,000 to the American Legion baseball program, and ruled that no high school player can be signed until after gradua tion or until one year's absence from school. National Hockey League Tightens By United Preit The National Hockey league race, a tight four-team affair since the season started was closer than ever today after 2 to 2 Detroit-Boston tie last night which moved Detroit Into second place and tied Boston with Chicago for third place. Detroit was only two points one game in back of Montreal and the third-place teams were one point behind the Red Wings. Other teams were idle.

FOR Tl GAMES Eugene Axemen, with five games under their belts, will go against an untested Medford high team here Friday and Sat urday nights on the Medford high school court. District six winners last year, Eugene has been picked to repeat this sea son and boast a fine club made up of basketball veterans. Coach Al Simpson of the Medford Black Tornado said this morning that his team didn't look too sharp after only eight days of practice. The boys are not In peak physical condi tion yet, which might mean the difference between winning and losing the opening series, Simp son said. Jim Cave, first string guard, Is bothered with shin splints and was to have gone to a doc tor today. Simpson said it was doubtful If Cave would be In the starting lineup Friday night Don Waldron, lanky reserve, will be out for a week with Ill ness. Can Koicn, wno sutterea a fractured ankle the first day of practice, will not be ready to go until after first of the year. Simpson said the team went through a hard practice last night but will be given only a light workout tonight. Game time is 8 p. m. with a 7 o'clock preliminary. FORT WORTfTOPEN 10 START FRIDAY Fort Worth, Tex., Dec. 13 (U.R) Golfdom's golden boys, the play-for-pay professionals of the winter tournaments, were here today for the $10,000 Fort Worth open and the question the tourney will answer was this: What effect will Byron Nel son's long layoff from tourna ment competition have on his game? Golf's greatest money winner of all time has been taking things easy for weeks at his farm home near Denton, Tex., north of here while other top flight golfers have been keeping their games tuned with constant competition. Nelson's last tournament was at Tacoma, Wash., three months ago. Since then he has played less than 27 holes of practice golf. tven so, Nelson will be co- favored with little Ben Hogan, his one-time fellow Fort Worth caddy, in the 72-hole medal play tourney starting tomorrow.

Colleges Are Permitted To 'Interview' Athletic Stars San Francisco, Dee. 13 (U.R) The Pacific coast conference re laxed its rigid sports code today to permit college representatives to "Interview" prospective ath letes, and ruled freshmen eligi ble for the 1946 football season. Conference faculty represen tatives, in revising the "Ather- ton code" that has guided coast college athletes for six years, placed the penalty for prosylet ing upon the schools rather than upon the athletes, as in the past. Frosh Rule Waived Since the code was established In 1940, many athletes had been barred from competition at various- Pacific coast conference universities because they had been "contacted" by alumni or by the college Itself. "Contact ing," under the old rule, includ ed even discussions with alumni of a particular school. The faculty representatives, concluding their three-day meet ing here, pointed out that any violations of the code indicating outright prosyletlng still would be rigidly enforced, however. Waiver of the freshman rule was retained until June 30, 1947, permitting first-year men to compete throughout the 1946 football campaigns. Transfer students who have been in service also were de clared immediately eligible for sports competition at any uni versity they attend but once enronea cannot transfer again without loss of a year's eligi bility. Other Developments Other developments of the conference meeting: (1) There will be no PCC track and field meet this spring, but north-south basketball play offs will be resumed. Finals will be held in California this year. (2) The 10-man restriction on basketball traveling squads was lifted. (3) Victor Schmidt, Los An geles, acting conference com missioner, was retained through August, 1946. Referee Thomas Fitzpatrick was made full-time assistant to the commissioner for a one-year term.
