Title Rematch At Grants Pass Wednesday Night Grants Pass Matchmaker Elton Owen has announced that John Paul Henning and Bull Savage will collide at the Grants Pass wrestling arena Wednesday night in a showdown, no time limit match for the Pacific northwest heavyweight champ ionship. The Grants Pass state boxing commission held up the grap- pling title belt after a match be tween the two last week although Savage, 218-pound Chicagoan was officially awarded the final fall by Referee Luther Lindsey. Lindsey reportedly could not see that Savage was using an illegal rope leverage on Henning, the 215-pound title defender, who hails from Florida. i Savage is said to be ired at the commission's action but can get the belt this time if he can beat Henning with a legitimate hold. Henning is also raging because the commission took the belt. He has stated he'll go all out to win it back. Luigi Macera, 205, from Mont real, and Thor Hagen, 204, Min nesota, will meet in the semi-final at the arena at the Josephine county fairgrounds. It will be for two-out-of-three falls or for an hour limit. Hagen surprised fans by lasting an hour with Lindsey last week. BRACKENS RELEASED Green Bay, Wis.
