Wednesday. February 16, 1955 MEDFORD (OREGON) MAR. TRIBUNECLEVER' ' MedfordTribune ft 1 DOWN AND OUT! Harold Johiison still has his right cocked as he watches Paul An drews crumple to the canvas in the sixth round of their light-heavyweight match in New York's Madison Square Garden. Andrews, Joe Louis' protege, was still on the can vas long after being counted out. Johnson was an 11-5 underdog but had won four of the first five rounds on all three judges scorecards and w?s apparently on his way to an easy victory when he unleashed that lethal right. Salary Satisfies Mickey Mantle By UNITED PRESS . Mickey Mantle, the tight-lipped Yankee center fielder who ordinarily doesn't have much to say, loosened up -sufficiently to day to express satisfaction with salary terms and predicts that he will enjoy his "best season yet" in 1955. The blond, 23-year-old Mantle, who signed through the com bined .efforts of Yankee Scout Tom Greenwade and Assistant General Manager Bill DeWitt, reportedly received a $3,000 in crease which boosts his .salary into the $20,000-$25,000 bracket.- . . .

' 'v Bobo Olson Goes Against Tiger Jones Chicago (U.R) Middleweight champion Carl (Bobo) Olson's non-title battle against Ralph (Tiger) Jones tonight shaped up to a 30-minute head-bumping spectacle from a pair of scrap pers who like to brawl in close quarters. Their meeting will be the fea ture television show at 10 p.m. (EST). Olson, who expected to weigh 166 pounds, the heaviest he ever has entered ' the ring, was an . 8 to 1 favorite while bookmakers offered Jone's sup porters only 5 to 1. Jones ex pected to weigh barely over the 160 pound middleweight limit. To Go All Out " Both fighters promised all-out warfare, and Jones was confi dent that he could win over the 10-round non-title distance to ad vance into a title shot over 15 rounds at some date in the near future. ; ' ' ' While Jones was hoping for a title 'chance, Olson regarded the fight as somewhat an experi ment to determine how effective he might be at the heavier weight. . Lacking a solid challenger for the middleweight crown, both Olson and his manager, Sid Fla herty, have been contemplating aiming for . a bout with light heavyweight champion Archie Moore or the former 175 pound titleholder, Joey Maxim.
