The match is a natural inas much as both Belcastro and the Atlas are well known to Medford fans. Belcastro Is probably the only grapplcr ever to get into Lillard's stuble who was a mean Dei-former and at the same time oopular with the fans. The Atlas, on the other hand, nicks 'em in like Bolcaatro but for a different reason. The fans drop their shekels in the box office till to see someone lam baste the conceited New Yorker, a pnv lege which fans in only widely suparated areas have en joyed. Llllard announced that ho will wait Belcastro's and the Atlas' selection before picking a foe for Arne Skaaland, the popular (Norwegian Kid who lias en. dcared himself to local follow ers of the grunt and groan trade.
