o MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MKDI'OKD, OREGON MONDAY. OCTOBER 28. 1963 Nick Kozak Faces Wild Bill Savage On Mat Thursday Nick Kozak and Wild Bill Savage, both heavy favorites of southern Oregon fans last win ter, meet in the opener of next Thursday night's all - heavy weight wrestling card at Med ford armory. Kozak, who has just returned from Texas where he was a headliner during the summer, plans to use Savage as a step ping stone to a shot at the coast junior heavyweight champion ship. Both were main eventers on previous local cards and they want to wrestle their way back into the prestige spots. A rough and tough campaign er who has appeared here once before, Maurice "Mad Dog" Va chon, will take on Dick Dunn in the semi-windup. Vachon wore a mask in his only other local match because he had lost his trademark beard on a bet in a bout in Portland. The beard now has been grown back and Va chon will present an appearance of a real villain to go with his mean disposition. The main event will see Nick Bockwinkle and Tough Tony Bourne mix for the coast cham pionship now held by Borne. Be cause they spent so much time outside the ring two weeks ago, the ring will be enclosed with chick wire this time. Once the match starts, neither man will be able to get out until the match is over. Two out of three falls will decide it, with no time limit. Ringside reserve seat tickets are on sale at Lamport's Sport ing Goods store.
