Although Berry fought the

in a long time, it wasn t the

the second round with Berry
content to back-pedal ana coun
ter punch and a good Job of It
he did but Stickel aggressive
ness gained the round for him.
Last Round Best
The last frame was by far the
best of the encounter and
brought the crowd to attention
when Berry got caught in a cor
ner three ditlerent times and re
ceipted for a few lusty whacks.
Stickel caught a few good ones
himself but his punches were
the harder and he rightly dc
served the nod.
The mix between Joe Kahui
and Larry Burdette was billed
as an exhibition and that was
strictly what it was. Burdette,
always anxious to stay a little
more than at arm's length,
caught Kahut several times with
left jabs to the face but the foxy
Portlander made him miss badly
when the going got a little
tough.
The third round saw some
good mixing and once Kahut let
go with a roundhouse to the
head which, had it landed, would
have propelled Burdette clear
out. of the building. After that
Burdette got in close and stay

another such punch started.
Raf.rta In Way
At one point. Referee Jack
(Ginger) Snapp got in the way ot
a right hand aimed at Burdette
and a half hour after the match
was still complaining of a sore
car.
One of the card's biggest sur
prises was Donovan Wolfe's split
decision win over previously un
defeated Don Harper of Gold
Hill. Harper, up until last night,
had won all of his fights by
knockouts. ,
In the second round Harper
took a no-count trip to the can

Eagles, Pointers
At Home. Friday
Eagle Point and Central Point
high school gyms will be scenes
for the only Southern Oregon
conference-district 4 basketball
games in this area Friday as
Med ford travels to the Eagles
gym and Grants Pass plays at
the Central Point gymnasium.
Recently the Black Tornado
put on one of its best games of
the 1949-50 season to wallop the
Eagles on the Medford floor but
the boys coached by "Shy" Cal
laehan are always tough on their
own floor and could give Med
ford a rough evening.
Cav.m.n Favorites
The Cavemen are expected to
have little trouble in subduing
the Pointers with Grants Puss
having an undefeated record in
district and conference panics.
Both Medford and Central
Point are out of any mathemati
cal chance to win the confer
ence-district championship but
the Tornado In particular is giv
en a good chance to knock over
Eagle I'oint and men go ao-.vn
will be a definite favorite with
local 'fistic followers.
Hamilton Wins Nod
Another close one was Johnny
Hamilton's split decision victory
over Corky King. King shed a
lot of blood from tne nose in
every round but he never once
gave up his boring in tactics. It
would nave made a dandy draw
if AAU rules would allow a
knotted count.
Kil er Dick Adkins stepped
another notch toward top billing
when he won a unanimous nod
from Frank Larson, Portland.
Adkins gave the UDstater a thor
ough going over in the last
round but the big city Kid hung
tough and wouldn't go down.
Other matches saw Tommy
Thomas lose h is first ring ap
pearance to experienced Eddie
Conrad. Darren Johnson louna
Chief Super an easy victim al
though Super kept coming in all
the time and always was a threat
to the curly haired Jonnson.
Moora Scores KO
The only knockout on the
show saw Bill Moore stop Jerry
Sparling In a minute and 20 sec
onds of the third round. There
was more wrestling than boxing
in the get-together and it lacked
the thrills of their previous mix.
Freddie Johnson got back in
the win column by scoring a
unanimous verdict over Kit
Chavez in the opener.
A packed crowd of Close to
1.000 persons witnessed the
show, the second promoting ven
ture of the Southern Oregon
Boxing club.
to Grants Pass and defeat the
Cavemrn there Saturday night.
Medford high's cagers have
been working this week as if
they still had visions of a cham
pionship, evidently in the hope
that they can end the season in
some kind of glory by walloping
both Eagle Point and ,Gra:it
Ppss over the week-end.
Local Boys Drill
Coach Frank Roclandt of the
Tornado continues to drill his
boys in smoother passing, sharp
er shooting and a better all
around offense. There has been
steady improvement all the year
in these departments as Medford
has had to learn new tactics
from a new coaching style.
Eagle Point is currently un
defeated in the J-D-J league and
has all but clinched the con
ference title.
Prelim gaVics will be played
at both Eagle Point and at Cen
tral Point tomorrow at 6:45 p.m.
with the varsity tilt billed at
both gymnasiums for 8:15 p.m.

Dusette and
Atlas Vow
To Gain Win
Georges Dusette, ordinarily
just about as complacent as they
come, came to town this morn
ing and announced that he will
pull out all the stops when he
poes against the Great Atlas in
the feature match of tonight's
wrestling card at the armory.
"I've been waiting for a long
time for this chance and I don't
intend to muff it," the smiling
Frenchman said. "I haven't been
happy over the way that guy
has used the full nelson to dis
able his opponents and I would
like to see if he can do it to me,"
Dusettc's pet maneuver also is
the full nelson.
Atlas Expects Win
The Atlas, on the other hand,
is certain of victory and the
self-styled superman made it
plain that he considers Dusette
Just another evening's workout.
Although the semi-windup is
drawinyalmost as much interest
as the main event, the princi
pals aren t using words to feed
the flames of battle.
Jack Lipscomb gave Karl Gray
quite a beating in a tag team
match last week and Gray in
tends to use tonight's middle
spot to get even.
The opener sends two classy
grappling artists together in the
persons of Pierre LaBelle and
George Strickland. They go to
the mat at 8:30 p.m.

Bowl Layout
San Francisco. Feb. 23 (U.R)
Pacific Coast conference athletic
officials made no secret of the
fact today that they like the
present Rose Bowl arrangement
with the Big Ten and want it
continued.
Their comments followed an
other blast by Dr. J. L. Morrill,
president of Minnesota, against
the Big Ten-PCC agreement.
Morrill announced yesterday
that his institution will spear
head opposition to a proposed
10-year extension of the pact.
H. P. (Dick) Everest, PCC
president, said he did not be
lieve Dr. Morrill's statement
"will have any bearing on the
situation as it now stands."
"His is just one man's opin
ion." Everest declared. "He has
been fighting the PCC-Big Ten
tieup since its inception and 1
do not see that he has said any
thing new."
Everest, of 'the University of
Washington, also is chairman of
a committee exploring a con
tract renewal. He said his group
has held one meeting and plans
another in the near future. The
committee's report is due to be
presented to the conference for

Boxer Dies
Following KO
New York, Feb. 23 U.B
Middleweight Laverne Roach
died today from a critical brain
injury received when he was
knocked out in a bout at St.
Nicholas arena.
Roach, of Plainview, Tex.,
died at St. Clare's hospital as a
result of being knocked out by
Georgle Small of Brooklyn at
1:57 of the 10th round last night.
The handsome, brown-haired
Texas youngster, who had been
"rookie of the year" for 1947,
had been in such "very bad con
dition" earlier today Dr. Vincent
Nardiello feared he might be
come the fight game's first fatal
ity of 1950.
19 Died In 1949
Last year, 19 amateur and pro
fessional boxers died throughout j
the world as a result of ring in
juries. Nardiello, a boxing commis
sion physician, said 24-year-old I
Roach had suffered a "severe
brain contusion." He described
the contusion as one accompanied j
by the tearing of the brain tis- i
sue. !
Tearing of the tissue caused a ;
"sub-dural hemorrhage." The
liamnrrligaa uiac Htcntnco1 hv
x-rays and by specimens of his
spinal fluid, Nardiello explained.
HERMANSKI SIGNS UP
New York, Feb. 23 (U.R)
Gene Hermanski, who bore the
odd title of "part time regular"
in the Brooklyn Dodger outfield
last season, signed his 1950 con
tract today for an estimated
$12,000.
Paul Arizin Averages
24.8 Points Per Game
New York, Feb. 23 (U.R)
Pitchin' Paul Arizin planted
himself solidly in the ail-American
picture today as his Villan
ova Wildcats began to look more
and more like a tournament
bound basketball team,
shot, ran his season's scoring
total to 595 points last night by
popping in 37 points as Villanova
trounced the University of
Hawaii, 80 to 56. Since he's play
ed in 24 games, that makes his
per-game average this year
mere 24.8 points.
It is estimated a total of 38
billion kilowatt hours of low
cost electric power flowed from
government plants during 1949.
