TITO CARREON
Opposes Savagt at GP
Double Main
On GP Card
Grants Pass After a two
week layoff due to weather con
ditions, professional wrestling
will resume Friday night at the
Josephine county fairgrounds
arena with a double main event
Wild Bill Savage, who is just
returning from a successful stay
in Texas and Chicago, will meet
the fast moving Latin American
Tito Carreon, in one event.
Wild Bill is remembered here
for his showings against Bull
Montana a d Kurt von Poppen
heim last winter. He has anoth
er years experience under his
belt now and figures to be pretty
rough guy to beat.
Bill is an ex-Navy champion
and all in all is a pretty rugged
individual.
Beat Montana
His opponent, Carreon, won on
a foul against Bull Montana
three weeks ago and proved to
be a real crowd pleaser. Tito
is known in the Southwest as
the "Elvis Presley of Mexico."
He wears long sideburns and is
a handsome hunk of man.
Many fans predict a future
comparable to Pepper Gomez for
him. Tito says he will be giving
away 20 pounds to Savage but
will make up for it with his
greater speed.
The attractive double portion
of the main event will feature
Alec Perez, the ex-boxer.
against popular and handsome
Reg Parks. Perez defeated Pierre
DeGIane here three weeks ago
and proved himself to be pretty
rough. Parks is built like Lou
Thesz and can take care of him
self in any kind of company.
Bout Taken
By GiardeHo
Chicago U.R) A victor
ious but thoroughly dissatisfied
Joey Giardello today rated Rory
Calhoun as the next target on
his path toward the middle
weight title.
"I'll do better against Calhoun
than I did in this one," Giardel
lo said after scoring a split de
cision over Randy Sandy, a 9-2
underdog in a 10-round battle
at the Chicago Stadium Wednes
day night.
The win was Giardello's sev
enth straight ring triumph and
ended Sandy s string at five.
"I was overconfident," Gia-
dello said. "I thought I'd knock
him out in two rounds. I thought
that for the last couple of weeks
ever since I signed for the
match.
"But I just couldn't get off. I
don't know what was wrong,
the Philadelphia battler said.
Giardello, ranked second
among the middleweights by the
National Boxing Association,
was unimpressive in beating
Sandy for his 65th win in 83
professional starts.
Referee Walter Brightmore
gave him a 48-44 edge and Judge
Spike McAdams a 47-45 margin.
Judge Frank Clark's vote went
to Sandy, 47-46.

The Brookings club may open

Brookings they gave the Eagles
a tough battle even in the league
game they dropped. Brookings
has good rebounders in Ron and
Marv Bullock and any one of
