September 21, 1039 THE NEWS AND THE HERALD. KLAMATH FALLS. OREGON PAGE TWELVE P mma Ihbiilil SOME LIKE THEIR WRESTLING CLEAN By BILL CUMMIXG9 There lire argument both tor and against the proposals to reform professional wrest ling by eliminating the modern blood and thunder which has descended up on the ancient port. Follow ing the lead of Illinois, New York and Penn sylvania, the California state athle tic commission has taken Into consideration a set of rules !lw Is drawn up by Everett Sanders, . state commissioner, which would eliminate biting, goug ing, choking, and unethical use ot lists, elbows and knees. Undoubtedly the elimination of such tactics would provide a higher type of entertainment for the fans, but whether that entertainment would be as pop ular Is a question. The ancient Greeks looked upon wrestling as the noblest ot all sports. It has gone into a terrific slump lines those days. Wrestlers of today have become a clan of commercially minded strong men who care little or nothing about the virtues of the sport from a physical education standpoint. They have a mer chandise to sell, and like all merchants they must please the public .- A review of the wrestling programs which have been pre sented In Klamath Falls will disclose Just which type of grappling is the most popu lar the kind in which the op ponents slug each other Into semi - consciousness, drawing buckets ot blood and yanking out handsful of hair, or the kind In which they shake hands before and after, break clean, and rely on pure science to gain a fall. The typical wrestling fan is ' as odd an Individual as can be found In the sporting world. He rants and raves when Joe Glots tweaks the handsome hero's nose, but he loves It. He . hurls chairs Into the ring and swears with the blood vessels standing out on his neck that so-and-so is the dirtiest, mean est, most unsportsmanlike in dividual alive, but he wouldn't miss seeing him in action for , anything in the world. Despite the fact that profes sional wrestling is repulsive to some, it provides an emotional outlet to hundreds who would stay at borne If the highlights - of the card were simply a per fectly applied Japanese wrist lock and a faultless stepover toehold. . From a standpoint of ethics and sportsmanship, the proper solution is to eliminate the rough stuff by some sort of wrestling code such as the one introduced by Commissioner Sanders. From the wrestler's standpoint, the busines would be hurt financially by the adop tion ot such a code. Most promoters get around the difficulties of pleasing ad herents ot both sides of the question by presenting wrest ling cards which contain a bal anced combination ot scientific and unscientific wrestling.

By JACK CUDDY United Tress Staff Correspondent DETROIT, Sept. 20 (UP) With right-handed thunderbolts Heavyweight Champion Joe Louis last night retained his title by fin ally catching up with elusive Bob Pastor and knocking him out in the eleventh round before an es timated crowd of 50,000 maudlin fans. Louis, who had battered his way to the title with his mighty left hook in previous fights, crossed up Pastor in more ways than one and then sent him sprawling and blood smeared to the floor of the ring in Brlggs stadium six times before win ning a full count kayo at 38 sec onds of the eleventh round. It was the second time that Pastor had lasted ten rounds with Jolting Joe, but unfortunately for the former New York U. full-back, this brawl was slated for the marathon distance ot 20 heats. And It was doubly unfortunate that Joe, Instead of using the left labs and hooks ot their first meet ing two years ago, concentrated on right smashes. These right crosses that flashed over Pastor's extended left arm sent the curly-haired, fair skinned New Yorker to the floor four times In the first round. He went down for counts ot two, nine, seven and nothing. On his fourth trip to the canvas in this electrifying opening heat, he had risen without a count, but the bell saved him as - he swayed about the ring in his own corner. It seemed miraculous that Bob could survive such a beat ingcould get up again and again. Many persons among the vast throng that was estimated to have contributed a gate of $450,000, started to look for the nearest exits in the second round .when Bob took bis fifth trip to the floor for a count of nine, after a smashing right had almost knocked his head into left field at the Tigers' ball park. But after that fifth trip, the game New Yorker rose and heart ened his admirers by not only re maining on his feet in the third session, but actually winning the fourth with a jabbing attack and a series of his own rights that shook the Detroit negro and red dened his face. Bob, dancing about, with blood still trickling from his nose after the early rounds of beating, fought on even terms in the fifth, taking an early advantage, but suffering punishment in the later going. The champion's shuffling at tack and stunning right hand had Bob groggy again in the sixth, when he received three thunderous rights to the head, but he managed to remain afoot. Bob rallied in the seventh, but lost that round after another succession of rights opened a gash at the corner of his left eye. But tho challenger came on to make his grcntcst stand of the bout In the eighth when he swarmed over Louis and belted the bomber groggy on the ropes with a barrage of lefts and rights to Joe's somewhat swol len face. Pastor tried to finish Louis in the ninth, but the fast-recovering negro could not be finished and he rallied to fight on even terms with I Sonfroncitco ACME BREWERIES lot Anosln I WESTERN WHOLESALERS, Inc., I 1500 Esplanade Klamath Falls Distributors Bearcat Coach Faced With Big Ass ignrnent By VICTOR DVI.LAIRK United Press Correspondent SALEM, Ore.. Sept. 21 (U.R) Coach rf'Snec" Koene of the Wil lamette Bearcats has a real Job on his hands this year It he sets out to keep up the pace set by previous cardinal and gold elev ens. The record of the Willamette football teams Is nice to look at. Tho Bearcats, since the Incep tion ot the selection, have placed one man a year upon the little All-American teams, and twice In the last five years produced the nation's second leading scorers, Johnny Oravec In 1934 and Dick Wlesgerber in 1936. They've won the Pacific northwest conference championship four times and tied tor the honor once in- the last live years. This year "Spec" has a good healthy roster but he admits weakness in two berths. He'd like to have a fullback endowed with whatever it takes to make a good fullback and a big burly tackle to strengthen the line. It candidates tor those two berths don't till the power quali fications "Spec" will be forced to abandon his long known power the challenger. That was Pastor's last stand. A short right cross exploded on Pastor's chin in the tenth and knocked him almost over the ropes. That was the blow that actually won the tight, although Bob didn't go down at the time. He stayed on his feet, but all the spring had gone from his legs and the fire from his eyes. That was the situation when Bob answered the bell for the eleventh. He was through. And another right to the Jaw sent htm sprawling to his hands and knees on the canvas where he took the count shaking his head with blood pouring from mouth, nose and left eye. He had lasted 10 rounds again and 88 seconds. Pastor made one ot the gamest stands ever witnessed in any ring. Weighing only 183 pounds against Louis 200 and an 8-1 underdog In the betting, he actually threatened to topple the crown from the bom ber's head in the eighth, and amazed everyone by lasting more than one session. Schmeling couldn't do It the second time. Fight Results BOXING By The Associated Press DETROIT Joe Louis, 200, world's heavyweight champion, knocked out Bob Pastor, 183, New York.
