Art Aragon
Found Guily
Los Angeles 0J.R) Art Ara
eon. the so-called "Golden Boy'
of California boxing, today faced
a possible sentence of up to five
years in prison, a S5.000 fine, or
both, on his conviction by a su
preme court jury of conspiruig
to offer another fighter $500 to
throw a fight.
The jury of six men and six
women returned the verdict
against the boxer Thursday after
deliberating the case for 48
hours. Superior Judge Herbert
V. Walker ordered a hearing on
a motion for a new trial for
March 14 and set March 21 as
date for sentencing.
During the trial, Polish refu
gee boxer Dick Goldstein, of be
attle, testified that Aragon,
former third - racking welter
weight, paid him to "take a
dive" in the fourth round of a
bout scheduled in San Antonio,
Tex., last Dec. 18. The bout was
called off at the last minute
when Aragon became ill.
hand has not discouraged his
supporters.
In fact, the wagering is 7-5
that 26-year-old Saxton does not
last the scheduled 15 rounds of
the nationally televised and
broadcast battle, which starts at
10 p.m. EST.
Co-Manager Joe Uetro said to
day, "I hope Carmen finishes
his series decisively tonight with
Saxton, so he can shoot for the
middleweight title. At 29. it has
become a real chore for Carmen
to pare down to the 147-pound
limit.
He would be stronger as a
middleweight, around 154
pounds. Of course, whether he
could go right after the 160
pound crown would depend on
the wishes of the promoters."
In their two previous bouts,
Saxton recaptured the title on a
unanimous but disputed decision
over Basilio at Chicago Stadium
last March 14. but Carmen won
it back from Johnny on a ninth
round TKO at Syracuse, N. Y.,
Sept. 12.

to close the gap to 35 to34. Jerry
Anderson got a long pusher for
Brookings. Wayne Christian of
the Eagles missed a set up on a
feed and then fouled Stan Grib-
ble who muffed the free try,
Veach then sank the bucket put
ting the Eagles on top.
The well-geared Brookings
gang was the steadier quint for
most of three periods. It was
smoother, surer and hit its shots
better. Eagle Point missed many
of its field goal tries in the first
half and repeatedly lost the ball
to Bruin backboard 'clearers. But
the Eagles turned up with more
fight at the finish.
15 Field Goals Each
Brookings headed 12 to 7 at
the quarter and pushed to 24 to
14 in the second canto. The Ea
gles caught fire with better
work under their offensive
board and rebound shots by
Greb and Dennis Boren made it
24 to 18. The haiftime buzzer
then stopped the upward climb
and the Eagles lagged again un
til the late stages of the third
stanza when five free tosses and
two field goals got them going
again.
Each team had 15 field goals.
EP hit 15 of 25 at the free line
and Brookings nine of 18.
Glendale had a pressing de
fense which made things uncom
fortable for Phoenix but the Pi
rates of Douglas county were
slam-bang much of the time in
their field shooting and couldn't
match the accuracy of the more
deliberate firing of the Pirates
of Jackson county.
Gary Simmonds, a longe range
gunner, put in 11 field goals for
Phoenix in collecting 23 points.
Driving Ray Munyon was the
surest player for Glendale and
with 18 points fas the only mem
ber of his club to collect more
than six.
Phoenix had quarter leads of
13 to 8, 34 to 18 and 52 to 26 and
was on top once by 26 tallies.
The Jackson county club out-
shot Glendale 29 to 16 from the
field.

Oregon Prep
Mat Meet
Being Held
Gordon Owsley, 130-pounder
of Medford high, and Don Hub
bard, 178, of Crater, are among
participants in the state wrest
ling tourney at Corvallis. They
were runners-up in their weights.
Accompanying the grapplers to
Corvallis were coach Paul
Evensen of Medford and coach
Ed Knapp of Crater.
Oregon State College, Corval
lis All wrestling roads point
ed to Corvallis this week end,
where 208 prep athletes con
vened for the annual state high
school wrestling championships
Matches started this morning
This is the first year that the
tournament will be staged in the
spacious Coliseum.
Wrestlers will go at it again
Saturday noon, with finals at 7
p.m. There are 13 weight divi
sions, with two from each of
eight districts qualifying. Thus,
there were 104 first round
matches today. Four mats were
in operation at the same time.
Molalla Strong
Canby, the defending state
team champion, lost out to
powerful Molalla in the district
4 meet, and qualified only four
men. Molalla, on the other hand,
sent 11 grapplers to Corvallis
and would have to be consider
ed one of the favorites.
Some of the other strongest
teams apparently are Redmond,
Klamath Falls, Sweet Home and
Franklin of Portland. The Qua
kers were Metropolitan cham
pions, under ex-Oregon Stater
Jim Ward. This is only the sec
ond year that Portland schools
have had wrestling.
Tournament Director Jim
Dixon, one of the main origina
tors of prep wrestling in the
state, expects the 1957 show to
be the best ever. In the past, it
was held at the Men's gym, but
at the new site can accommodate
far more spectators.
