Ray Stickle, Berry
Signed to Headline
Boxing Card Feb. 22
The Southern Oregon Boxing
club today came up with a
matchmaking masterpiece when
Promoters Larry Burriette and
Owen Thomas announced that
Bill Berry, southern Oregon wel
terweight amateur champion,
will nut his title on the block
against Ray Stickle at the armory
on February 22.
'We had been considering sev
eral contenders for the match,"
Thomas said, "not once dream
ing that we could get Stickle and
Berry together. But now that we
have signed them, we are sure
the fans will see a Pier 6 brawl
if there ever was one."
Pair Fought Twice
The pair fought twice a year
ago under sponsorship of the
Veterans of Foreign Wars with
Stickle winning the first one and
Berry getting a hotly disputed
decision in the second match.
Many boxing fans were so
rabid in their belief that Stickle
won the second match that there
would have been a baby riot im
mediately after the decision if
a sufficient number of Berry
backers could have been found.

Stickle, still admittedly "hot
under the collar" over the de
cision after over a year, said yes
terday that "there won't havo to
be any judges this time; my fists
will do the deciding." For the
past several months Stickle has
been residing near Santa Rosa,
Cal., where he is engaged in the
logging business and is being
brought to Medford especially
for the match.
Berry, meantime, is reportedly
drilling hard for the scrap in an
effort to show the much-discussed
decision was no fluke. He
discounts his knockout at the
hands of Corkv King on the last
card by pointing out that he gave
away 20 pounds to King.
Lightweight Crown Eyed
Stickle, still recognized as
southern Oregon lightweight
amateur champion, will post his
title if Berry can make the light
weight limit of 135 pounds at
ringside. Berry's welterweight
limit is 147 pounds but he
weighed 138 for the King fight.
"I'm not going to try to put
on weight to reach the welter
limit and I'm not going to take
a chance on sapping my strength
to reach the liglitweignt limn,
Berry said.
"I'm going to come in at my
natural weicht and if I happen to
be down to the lightweight lim
it. I'd welcome the chance to lift
Sticklers title. If not. I'll try to
defend my own crown.
Burdette said he is negotiat
ing with Joe Kahut. Pacific
coast heavyweight champion, in
the professional ranks, to ref
eree the card. If Kahut is un
available, Burdette said Jack
(Ginger) Snapp would be the
third man in the ring.

Eagles Play
Wednesday
At K. Falls
Eagle Point, Feb. 14 Eagle
Point high's basketball warriors
travel to Klamath Falls for a
Southern Oregon conference-district
4 game Wednesday night
with little to be gained by eith
er team except the satisfaction
of downing the other.
Both quintets are out of the
running for the conference-district
championship.
A few weeks ago the two quin
tets played a hard-fought game
on the Eagle Point floor and for
a quarter or two it seemed as
if the Eagles might upset the
highly-favored Pelicans. Howev
er, superior height and condition
told for Klamath.
The Eagles, however, are still
undefeated in the J-D-J league
and most observers predict the
youths coached by ''Shy" Cal
laghan may still upset an over
confident foe some day.
Next home game for Eagle
Point is Tuesday, February 21,
against Illinois Valley.
