f f AGE TWO THE EVENING HERALD, KLAMATH FALLS. OREGON January 5, 1032 Klamath Falls Will Meet Bend This Week End Herb Owen Presents Optimism New Promoter Goes In For Introspection in Arranging First Fight Card Hera 11) JOK l-KiNKV Loosing (or note et opti mum In this five-day-old year of is:? Optimism and nthnlam com bubbling through tb clouds together, and If yo r not too tnr down on th Jagged recke of pslmtm th proper sort of pemtlniism, bowevr, glvo foundMlon to th best on of optimism you nay tir up ft smile of welcome for Herb Owen, Klamath falls matchmaker, who bring hi flrt athletic card to the Le gion hall neat Monday. Owen haa profound confi dence and ft profound amlle. When be grlni and say "My flrat boxing program In Klara aih Falla will be aomethtng to remember tn thta new era of fighting here." you can be as sured or re-assured, aa you like, prorlding you hare de veloped reetstenee to any ath letic gloom drooped around the town from previous wrestling nd boxing exhibitions. "Oloom here?" Owen queried. "What I know about the athletic attuatlon here In the past, I've forgotten. I'm new here, eo there la no past for me: I'm starting out clean and fast, and Intend to con tinue the para or expire tn the attempt." e e e Owen didn't lea re Klamath Falla after his appointment from the boxing commission, nd then forget about the city while he made hla round of athletic buslneea tn Medford, X a gene and Portland. Be departed with hla sew position to quietly muse over a problem In psychology. This first card of Owen' wa to be hla Introduction to the sport ing public here, and he haa al ways been thoroughly con vinced that It la easier to make an excellent flrat Impression than to lire dowa a poor one. see This is what ha did and ought, and It apparently will tara out to be a successful piece of introspection: Klamath falla, first of aU and all the time, wanta fight ers who will be ronsed to tha thrill of battle by evenly matched opponent. Klamath Falla won't be particularly eager to aee a "big shot" play for a couple of rounds with an "easy mark" until he is ready to push him over. The city at hungry for punches, and not Barnes. see So Owen took down all his records of men who have fought oa his recent cards la Western Oregon, and all the men he had aeen and who were available for Klamath Falls. He dldnt care much about the name or the site of the athlete, but he was Inter ested la bis fighting ambitions nd his fighting ability. Owen hung the traditional 10-round maln-aventera in tb closet, and dug up three six round bouts. They were boys perhaps not welcome to the registry of Madison Square Garden at New York who wanted to work and win against anyone. e e Tha nev promoter immedi ately recognised the possibili ties of several fighters in the Klamath region. Krankie Mon roe will top-off the three slx ' rounders against Teddle Fox. They are small boys 13S pounds fast, eager to rise la the bualaees, and look upon each fight as some sort of a rang toward pugilistic achieve ment. The second of tha three main events will be between Young Dr. 8nell no relation to the illustrious little man of Seattle's boxing world, Doc Snell, but resembling him In name and courage will meet one of the Ambrose twins Buddy of Balem. The Ambrose boys, Buddy and Bobby, started fighting aa youngsters, and their remark able similarity drew them into exhibitions all over the north west. When they developed they went into the ring profes sionally, though they still re main popular attractions for exhibitions. Chief Thompson of Coqnille, black as night and knowing nothing better than how to fight and wanting to fight, will be matched against a very, very white young man from Colorado, Pete Becker. The pair, fighting at 1111, will give bit of weight to the main event rounds. e The remainder of tha 80 rounds of boxing will be fin ished off with three four round preliminaries. Chllo quln and Klamath Falls boys, through thoir local popularity and their showings on previous cards, will be matched against men who exhibit here for the first time. Johnny Jackson, stocky In dian boy from t'hlloquln, will fight Johnny Garlle, the ugliest Mexican who ever made his headquarters In Portland. Jackson, who easily put away tha mountain climbing Swede from Ketchikan In the curtain raiser on the last card, should have one heavy Monday night against this thick-lipped, heavy-fared bad man from Portland. Hutch Johnson, who first knocked out Jack Illhhard and then was held to a draw In a re-match on the last card, will meet Louis Nelson of Port land. While Johnson is short and hits straight, Nelson is rangy and a real boxer. These two men will fight at 131. PELICANS I T Y INJURIES KNOLL OUT The Klamath basketball team will enter Its first ma)or district games this week-end when it meets the veteran Hend Lava Hear team In ft two-game aeries In the central Oregon city Fri day and Saturday. . Dwight French, head roach, haa mingled his outlook oa thla Important series with both optimism and doubt, but waa thoroughly con fident Monday night, the start of the last practice drive, hla aquad would finish well against Bend. Two Injuries have added to French's doubts. Bill Kate, high scoring forward, haa been suf fering from sprained ankle, but the Injury probably will mend sufficiently to permit his playing thla week-end. Don Knlevsl, guard, probably wtll be out of the sense with weak ankle, and will either ha replaced by Bruce Broland or Loula McAn- Inch. With the exception of on guard position the Pelican com bination will be the same a haa started la the alz victor! oat of seven game played thla season. Alien will be at center. Knight at one guard, and Estea dnd Sheet at forwards. Trlpplstt. veteran from last year's team, will not become el igible for tha season's play un til tb tart of next mtr. French, however, will look for ward to hi addlttoa a aa Im portant factor in bolstering both the offne and defense. Howard Pernell, who Injured hi hind before the Mason opened, wtll also b back la the gam within tho next few week. Bead, meeting Klamath Fall for the first tim under the re arranged atate basketball re gion, ha on of the trongt team In Oregon. The Lava Bear lost but two lettermen from their last year team, and have six veteran to tart with. They have won three of their four game thta season.
