Kozak Wins Battle Royal Nick Kozak was $300 rich er today after winning tne over-the-top battle royal on Thursday night's wrestling card at Medford armory. Each of the six wrestlers had posted a $50 entry fee with the win ner to take all in the battle royal, which was the climax of an unusually good card pre sented before a small crowd. Sonny Pasquel, a fast-stepping Filipino who substituted for Luther Lindsey, sidelined with a broken finger, was the first to go in the free-for-all, followed by Kurt Von Poppen heiin. Ricky Hunter, a new comer to the pro ranks whose cleverness found favor with the fans, was the third to be tossed over the top rope. The Scorpion and Wild BUI Savage then teamed up to eliminate Kozak but the tables turned. Savage double-crossed the hooded villain and Ko zak took advantage of the scramble to toss Savage out immediately behind The Scor pion. In the regulation bouts which preceded the battle royal, Savage won two out of three falls from Pasquel, Kozak won on a foul when The Scorpion wouldn't release a choke hold, and Von Pop penheim and Hunter wrestled to a draw. 57 . i ' .

From a dramatic standpoint, It shapes up as a murderous mismatch. The oddsmen have made the Packers prohibitive favorites to win and qualify (o meet the New York Gianls in the championship playoff for the second consecutive year. Still, these prospects will not deter the hopeful Detroit Lions from going all-out in their game against the Bears Crater High Wrestlers Win From Ashland 43-14 Central Point - Crater high was victor by a wide 43 to 14 margin last night in a wres tling match with Ashland at Ashland.

This week end Wueste must try to cope with mammoth Mel Counts, a 7-foot All-America candidate. The Beavers are also high on Jim Jarvis, a slick soph guard.

Viking General Manager Bert Rose said while details of the contract with the Tex ans were unknown it possess ed a long-term no-cut clause, calling for about $150,000. Bell, a 6-foot-4 tackle for Minnesota's Gophers and No. 1 collegiate lineman of 1962, signed Thursday with the Tex ans' chief scout Don Kloster man. Texan publicist Bob Hal ford said Bell's pact was not a long term, no cut affairs. He said, however, that Bell's salary and bonus were "very substantial, but nothing like the figures Rose mentioned." Rose said the Vikings of fered Bell three one-year con tracts with bonuses. The an nual salary offered Bell was reported at between $15,000 $20,000.
