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.

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

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.

TO WAGE WAR
IN MAIN BOUT
NEXT TUESDAY
The battle of the century will
be waged under tho armory spot
light iiuu Tuesday night when
Kuropcnn warfare la brought to
Klamath Falls and Poland meets
(iorumuy In a fight which will
probably overshadow the ferocity
ot Adolf Hitler's military cam
paign across the seas.
At any event the scrapping
Polish muscle mangier, Joe Smol
inskl, will have a chance to re
deem his national pride and
wreak vengeance ou at least one
German Huns "Hitler" Schults.
The two uotorious neck busters
will go at It In a knockdowu-drag-out
scrap In the main event
ot Promoter Mack Lillard's
wrestling exhibition ns tho head
lino bout of a card which offers
ovory typo of wrestling perform
ance. George Wilson, the Washing
ton Wildcat who lost to Schults
last Wijck, will faco Dave Leviu,
hard-wrestling Now York butcher
boy who wowed tho tnns horo
last Tuesday In olio of tho neat
est exhibitions over put ou at
(he Klamath armory. He stowed
away Tnro Ito, Jnp mangier, In
record time via two straight falls,
and in so doing wou the instant
approval ot .ho fans.
Although the first bout may
dovolop into a hoalthy scrap bo
fore It is through, the chanccB
ure that the program will be
opened with an exhibition of
acioutific wrestling. Meeker, who
is 27 years old and as tough a
youngster as ever trod cauvaa,
likes to wiostlo the scientific
way, and unless he Is pestered
too much Veuablo will play that
way too. Both grapplors are
capable, however, of.Uishlng out
rough treatment it it becomes
necessary.
The middle bout will undoubt
edly bo one ot the cleanest, fast
est and most scientific nuttchos
ever seen hero. Gcorgo Wilson
is first, lust and always a scien
tific grapplcr and Is at his best
when pitted against nnothor clean
matninu. Every fau who saw
the New Yorker in action last
week will vouch tor tho fact that
ho knows how to haiidlo himself
as well as anyone in the game,
aud he once hold a world title
as proof.
The main event will undoubt
edly be as bloody a battle as the
fans could' ask for. Whether
Smollnskl can beat tho giant
Gorman or not, he will probably
give him as rough au evening
ua he has ever spent. Both
grnpplcrs happen to take their
nationalities seriously'' and a
natural feud la tho result.
