0 Medfordtribune Dusette Cops Battle Royal Over Lipscomb rsnrppc Dusptte. ihf rmnnlnr French-Canadian Hercules, won the battle royal championship in the armory wrestling ring last night by taking the lone fall from Jack Lipscomb. They were survivors of a free-for-all. Lipscomb's roughtouse tactics gave Dusette plenty of trouble until the Eugene tavern keeper turned to Referee LecyGrable to protest the arbiter's actions. When Lipscomb did that, Du sette clamped on a full nelson and the evening's hostilities came to an abrupt end. Gui Has Hit Fun Gorgeous Gus, the wrestling bear, had a barrel of fund in the battle royal, tossing everyone in sight to the mat repeatedly. Even when they ganged up on htm Ol' Gus held the upper hand un til the four matmen massed in front of the bruin, pulled his hind lppc fi-nm ima. V.;m 1 all four then piled on top to eliminate the animal. The bear hotly protested the decision by taking after Referee Grable and tossing him all over the ring until Trainer Billy Fox was able to get him under con trol. After much double crossing on the part of Tony Ross, Jack Lipscomb and Jack O'Reilly, the Australian was pinned bv Ross and then Lipscomb and Dusette got rid of Ross.

Coach Frank Roelandt of the Black Tornado basketball squad left Tuesday for the Eugene tourney. Replacements Needed Newland said yesterday that while several of the tracKmcn at the high school looked pretty good for the first time trials held Tuesday and Wednesday, his biggest problem by far is find ing capable replacements for Loren carter, men Kiggs ana Jerry McUrew Ballplayers Going South John "Tex" Chandler, who was signed this season as a coach for the Medford Rogues (Nug gets., left this morning by car for Yuba City, Cal., to work out with a semi-pro baseball club there and get into condition for the coming Far West class D league season.

At least one big factor in the Tornado's favor as far as track is concerned is that there are two or three times as many youths out for some events this year as there were in 1949. New land said that if quantity counts for anything Medford should do all right. Football Opponents Ragsdale indicated he was not looking for any opponents in 1950 but might seek a football foe for 1951. Medford's two- year contract with Tillamook on a home-and-home basis ends this fall and the head coach here would like to get a Willamette valley school. He indicated either Spring field, Albany, a Portland school or Salem would be more than welcome. Ragsdale said he would prefer a school like Eugene or Springfield as dis tances would not be so great that large numbers of fans would not travel back and forth. Medford's first track meet will be a "short distance'' affair with Grants Pass here March 25. Klamath Falls will be the Tor nado opponent in the first thin- clad meet that will count much when the Pels come here April 1. High School Game Today Cancelled Medford high s scheduled doubleheader with Yreka. Cal., at the local field this afternoon was postponed due to rain and wet grounds, Coach Alex Mc Donald of the Tornado said this morning. He said even if the sun had stayed out playing would have been doubtful.
