Boxing Arena
Opens at SF
Next Month
By HAL WOOD
San Francisco (U.R) Tele
vision, which has changed the
i entertainment habits of the
' world, will get credit for the
i new home of boxing in this area
! when fight promoter Bennie
Ford opens his San Francisco
garden next month.
The S175,000 edifice, possibly
the first building constructed in
the U.S. specifically for fights
since the end of World War II,
iwill be the home of regular
Monday night cards plus pos
sible national TV shows on
Wednesdays and Fridays.
"This is going to be a cozy
little place," says Ford with par
donable pride. "We have built it
to seat about 2200 fans with
every seat a ringside seat. We
have kept in mind that in this
age of television that big crowds
at ringside are a thing of the
past in the fight game except
for big-name battlers usually
ones involving only a champion."
Up-To-Date
It is Ford's belief that this will
be one of the finest little fight
clubs in America and defin
itely the most up-to-date.
"In most fight clubs the tele
vision cameras are placed8 on
scaffolds on a temporary basis;
and the smoke is so,thick that
the cameras have trouble pick
ing up the action," Ford points
out.
"But here we have taken care
of that. We have built a special
television booth. And we have
installed an $11,000 ventilating
system that keeps the arena com
pletely empty of foul air and
smoke."
Brennan Chosen
coach of Week
By
United Press
South Bend, Ind. (U.R) The
old man was there all right.
Just as certainly as in the days
when the Four Horsemen were
the scourge of collegiate grid
irons, you could feel the pres
ence of the bald Norwegian.
But on this occasion on the
Knute Rockne memorial football
game, the credit belonged to an
other and nobody would have
been prouder than the legendary
Rockne himself.
Irish Lad
He's the United Press coach
of the week, that broth of an
Irish lad, Terry Brennan of
Notre Dame.
When Notre Dame's new sta
dium was dedicated in the fall
of 1930, Navy's Middies were
the opponents and Notre Dame
won spectacularly, 26-2.
That was when Rockne's sec
ond great set of four horsemen,
Joe Savoldi, Frank Carideo,
Marchmont Schwartz, and Marty
BrilL were running wild.
Saturday the names were Paul
Hornung, Dean Studer, Don
Schaefer, and Jimmy Morse. Re
member them well. These backs
of Brennan's are destined for a
measure of fame on their own.
Fullbacks Work
At Oregon State
Corvallis (U.R) Coach
Johnny Prothro of the Oregon
State Beavers tested new full
back material today to replace
the gap left by first stringer
Arlo Wenstrand, who ris out of
action indefinitely with a
wrenched knee.
Left with only Tom Berry,
hero of the Washington" game,
the coach began grooming Ernie
Zwahlen and Bob Sutton, two re
serves who have seen little ac
tion this fall. They will spell
Berry at the fullback spot.

St. Mary's
Girding for
in Crew
St. Mary's of Medford height
ened drills this week as it prep-4
ped for its District 5B title tus
sle her on Saturday night with
the Malin high Mustangs.
The Crusaders didn't have a
game last week but they, con
tinued right along with work
outs to get set for the heftier
Klamath county eleven.
The Medford crew had two
main casualties after its final
Jackson County B League mix
with Jacksonville. Halfback
Laval Meunier suffered a dislo
cated elbow and End Jerry
Flakus a concussion.
Lots of Power
It was still doubtful today that
Meunier will see action. How
ever the scatback resumed con
ditioning workouts Monday.
He'll probably be in uniform for
the game.
Against Malin, St. Mary's will
oppose a club with lots of pow
er. The Mustangs use a single
wing offense. They have the
size and ruggedness to go with
it. But to keep the opposition
guessing, they also throw in a
few T plays.
The Crusaders use both the T
and double wing and play a
spectacular brand of football
which relies much on speed.
St. Mary's is defending dis
trict champion and won its
second Jackson county toga.
Malin is successor to Chiloquin
in Klamath county.
