Nick Kozak To Return Thursday Nick Kozak, an enthusiastic and expert horseman when he is not on the wrestling circuit, has been signed to face newcomer Irish Paddy Barrett in the open ing match of the big wrestling card at Medtord armory on Thanksgiving night, Nov. 28. Kozak was to have wrestled here Nov. 14 but was called to Texas to testify in a lawsuit and therefore had to bow out at the last minute. Knowing he has a large following among the local mat faithful, Kozak regretted having to cancel the appearance and asked Matchmaker Elton Owen to sign him for the Thanksgiving card. Barrett, who recently came to the northwest from Oklahoma is a fast, clean but rough per former. His style and crowd appeal has earned him the tag of "sleeper among northwest heavyweights. Barrett was sent to the North west on the recommendation of Billy Whitewolf, another local favorite who is now wrestling in Oklahoma, where he saw Bar rett in action and suggested that he campaign in Oregon and Washington.

That's when Reece (Goose) Tatum, the Clown Prince of Basketball, sends his Harlem Roadkings against the New York Renaissance (Ren) at the Crater High gym. Game time is 8 p.m. Playing by his side when the Golden Goose goes onto the court to cut his capers will be his 21-year-old son, Reece Tatum Jr., better known as Goose Jr. This is the second season the two have played together. Young Tatum joined the Road- kings two years ago after com pleting a hitch in the Navy. Al though he was competing against his own father (or his job, he made the team, and now he is a full-fledged member of the great barnstorming pro team. The two Tatums, senior and junior, alternated playing last year. Although he had great confidence in his offspring, Papa Goose hesitated to take out a more experienced player to make room for his son. But before the season was over, Goose, Jr. had won a regular job for himself and this season is listed as a starter, right along with his famous father. He has learned to handle a ball like his dad, and time has shown that he inherited many of his famous father's talents. So when the Harlem Road kings come to town this tima to play the New York Rens, fans will be seeing not one Goose Tatum, but two. Goose Tatum, Jr., is five feet, eleven inches tall and weighs one-hundred-eighty pounds. Ho is notas tall as his father, but tall enough to play in big-time basketball. He now is regarded as the greatest dribbler in the business. Also along with the Roadkings will be 7 foot, 1 inch Riggie Harding. He is a former star of the Detroit Pistons of the Na tional Basketball Assoc. There'll be half-time enter tainmenta 30 minute concert by the Ink Spots.
