Big Crowd Seen for
Saturday Wrestling
Bouts at Merrick's
Another capacity crowd is in
prospect for Merrick's arena to
morrow night , when Mack Lil
lard presents what appears to be
another outstanding wrestling
card.
Gerry Hunter, who has ruled
the roost among the gal grap
plers for the past several weeks,
faces her toughest opposition in
Shirley Winters of Chicago, mak
ing her first start in Medford.
Unlike Hunter' other oppon
ents, Winters is in the same
weight class and while she pre
fers to wrestle according to the
rules, is more than able to take
care of herself if an opponent
wants to rough it up. Hunter
prefers to get rough, believing
that it causes her foes to make

Points won't be the main idea
Saturday when Grants Pass and
Medford high track teams com
pete on the Medford oval. That's
the word from Medford Coach
Bob Newland.

way of cinder and field talent

a chance to compete, the mentor
reported.
The crews will contend, start
ing at 2 p.m. in varsity and

a mistake, giving her a better
chance for victory.
Yoggi Hussane, rampaging
Turk, also faces a rough even
ing, which will please the fans.
He goes against Cyclone Cobb
in a rematch of their donny
brook of two weeks ago. Cobb
won on a foul in their first
scrap when Hussane threw him
out of the ring and wouldn't let
him return. Hussane insists he
can legitimately beat the big
Negro and has persuaded Lillard
to give him a chance to prove it.
Another newcomer opens the
card at 8:30 pjn. He is "Champ"
Thomas, a classy performer irom
Denver, who goes against Buck
Davidson, the "old reliable."
Doors open at 7:30 p.m.

Bowerman May Mot Be
Runner He Used To Be
Eugene (U.R) Oregon track
coach Bill Bowerman said today
that the person who assigns li
cense plate numbers for the De
partment of Motor Vehicles evi
dently thinks the former Duck
athlete isn't the runner he used
to be.
Bowerman said he received
his new plates recently, num
bered 4B-440. But for the past 20
years his number has been 440
880, symbolic of the races he
ran for Oregon in the 1930s
under the late Bill Hayward.
The Oregon coach said it ap
peared the department felt he is
no longer in shape to run two
races, v and has cut his license
number accordingly.
