Wafch for Demonstration Dates In Your Neighborhood DEAVER TRACTOR and IMPLEMENT COMPANY Packed House Sees Boxing Show March Dimes Benefit By Harry Chlpman The Southern Oregon Boxing club got off to a whirlwind start at the armory last night, pre senting its first amateur show before a packed house with the net proceeds going to the March of Dimes. There were several substitu tions necessitated by over anxious would-be fisticuffers thinking better of it as the time drew near to don the leather, but nevertheless the eight-ply card was a dilly and everyone went away happy. Not only did Promoters Larrv Burdette and Owen Thomas do all right at the box office, they found themselves a home-town drawing card in. the person of Laie uaom. Odom Gains Nod The chunky blond middle weight hasn't been great guns in past showings here but last night he fought his heart out and came from behind to cop a unan imous decision from Joe Caroth ers, a tough Indian kid from Grants Pass. In the first round and for the better part of the second, Car others had the better of furious exchanges and had Odom back ing up but the Medfordite de cided to stick his hooks in and go to work and from there on it was his fight. There was mixed receDtion to the decision, several thinkine Carothers was entitled to the duke. It would have made a corking draw but there are no draws in amateur boxing. Berry Knocked Out One of the card's biggest sur prises was the third-round knock out of Bill Berry, southern Ore gon welterweight champion, by Corky King, Oakland, Cal., a non-title over-the-weight match. Berry drew blood from King's nose in the first round and looked on his way to the de cision. In the second heat there were many exchanges of left Jabs to the face and at the end of the round King's eve was swollen shut and had turned an ebony hue. Referee Jack (Ginger) SnaoD examined the injured optic and ruled King fit to continue. The end came at 1 minute and 15 seconds of the last round when, after King had chased Berry all over the ring, he caught the champion in a corner and show ered lefts and rights to the head. Berry dropped to his knees and fell forward on the canvas as Snapp tolled the count. C. W. Lacy, the fighting cop, won a unanimous nod over T. C. Brown, Central Point. The first couple of rounds were good in spurts but in the third both were mostly content to stand off and look at each other. Moore Wins By KO Bill Moore, Jacksonville, used 45 seconds of the initial round to knock out Jerry Sparling. Sparling started out like a house afire and had Moore in trouble, but the latter threw him to the canvas to get set. When hostilities resumed Moore rushed Sparling to a cor ner and pumped several rights and lefts to the head. Sparling sagged forward and listened to the birdies tweet with his facial features resting in the resin. The only mis-match on the card was Don Harper's 50-sec-ond kayo over Bill Rollins, Grants Pass. Harper had too much pull in the weights and hit too hard for his smaller op ponent. Rollins was down twice before Snapp ruled enough was enough. Dick Adkins used one minute of the third round to knock out Mel Queen, San Diego. Queen hit the deck at the end of the second round and was decked again 17 seconds after the third heat started. A right to the head put him there again and Snapp called it off. It wouldn't have made any difference, though, for the next time Adkins hit him. it m-obablv would have been a sound sleep ior ine ainornian. Johnson Gains Nod One of the best fights on the card was Darrell Johnson's unan imous decision over Johnny Hamilton. A left to the chin in the first round stretched Ham ilton flat on his back but he got up and made a vicious scrap of it all the rest of the way. Both boys tired considerably in the last round, but Hamilton was still trying when it ended. frooamy tne biggest upset LIONS CLUB HEARS TALK Mel Carpenter, business man ager of the Medford Nuggets club of the Far West league, spoke and answered questions at the weekly dinner meeting of the Medford Lions club last night. was Coe Brown's split decision verdict over Freddie Johnson. It was Johnson's first loss since he joined the simon pures over a year ago and definitely is a feather in young Brown's cap.

Both arc shorter than last year's 4-door Sedans yet 4 inches longer in wheelbaie. In both, the difference Is used to give you real stretch-out room in the rear teat. that tilt hnv rlirl Is or rna 1 Kr cuus lur some meaais. We gave them the job of coming up with something that was bigger inside for room and comfort longer in wheelbase always im portant to good riding qualities yet unbulky and easy-handling in over-all dimensions. Just look how well this tidy num ber meets these "impossible" speci fications! Item one rear-seat cushions are a full foot wider than last year's Supers and Roadmasters. Item two in every dimension leg-room, head-room, hip-room, shoulder-room this rear-seat com partment is bigger than previous models and nearly four inches longer, fore and aft, than other 1950 Buick interiors. Item three wheelbases are the longest of our 1950 line. On the SUPER, it is 125H" instead of 121H"-onthe ROADMASTER 130H" instead of 126!i". et and here's where the magic tM comes in thr whoU car is shorter ' orer-all. Actually less from bumper to bumper than previous Buicks in these series. That means easier parking, easier tucking away in family garages, easier maneuvering in crowded traffic. There are some other things too. An extra rear-quarter window not found in standard -4-door Sedans. A different upperstructure styling that makes this body-type stand out as something pretty special. Even special names that let say, "I drive a SUPER 126 Mine s a Roadmaster 130," just by way of being different. Yes, we think we hit on a happy idea in the "Longfellows," as they're coming to be known. They are not longer, on the outside, but there's a two-way stretch in width and length in the rear compart ment.
