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.

"I'm not attempting to take any

He's a most promising player, un

able to win the Davis cup under

Tilden pointed out that Vines
still Is very young for Davis cup
competition.
"He's only twenty. As I said,
he possesses ft great game, but It
still Is ft little crude. He has
much to learn about court tactics.
The tennis fsns who expect Isds
like Vines and Shields and Wood
