knocking 'em dead in the north

reportedly is a fast and clever
grappler, will meet an opponent
of equal caliber when he takes
on Georges Dusette. "Muscles
Dusette needs no introduction

comer. Grabl. Gets Backing
It doesn't take Philadelphia
lawyer to figure out that Lee
Grable will have the backing of
the faithful when he collides
with the Great Atlas in the sec
ong skirmish. Atlas hasnt a
friend in a carload because of
his egotistic mannerisms and the
self-styled "greatest wrestler in
the world" oould be Just an
other grunt and groaner when
Grable gets through with him.

wiser muscle mangier following
his defeat by Jack Lipscomb
last week, has vowed to turn the

County class B conference bas
ketball games Friday night will
find at least two "naturals" fac
ing each other In games that may
have little change in the confer
ence standings but are likely to
bring out large crowds because
of the rivalry between the towns.
Butte Falls and Prospect get
together on the Prospect floor
in one of the rivalries while
Rogue River goes to Gold Hill in
the other contest.
Butte Falls Favored
Neither Butte Falls nor Rogue
River is expected to have much
trouble in ringing up a victory
with their undefeated records to
date spurring them on. Butte
Falls has played one less game
than the Chieftains due to bad
weather.
Other conference games to
morrow will put Jacksonville
high at Phoenix, and St. Mary's
high at Talent.
Both of these games should
be fairly close with the Crusad
ers victory over Prospect here
Tuesday night giving them a will
ot win. It was St. Mary's first
conference victory.

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.

that's strictly inside stuff!
HERE'S THE NEW 1950 BUICK SUPER 126, companion body-type lo the
equally new Roadmaster 130. 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. You're going to like that as you'll
see by calling on your own Buick
