Dembr PACE TWO HERALD AND NEWS, KLAMATH FALLS. OREGON 3. i., Slammin'SamSnead Three Shots Off The Pace in S.F. Tournament ummid By PAUL HAINES GOLF SHOTS Bill Selkirk, assistant pro at Raamai. ii at il again try ing to pick up soma of tha golfing moola that is lying around the wait coast these dayi. Bill i competing in tha annual San Francisco open at present and posted a 39- 40 79 for tha first IS hole route. Now that kind of golf is not going to put Bill up in the monev brackets by a long shot, but if he could shatter par just once with, say. a 70, he might place in the first twenty and '.hat's where they pay off. Wa seriously doubt that Bill can beat out such sharp shooters as Slammin' Sammy Snead. Jug McSpaden. Byron Nelson and Sam Byrd. al though stranger things hare happened to be sure. But tha local shot maker could finish high up on the pay-off list if he could once get start ed shooting the golf he has proved himself capable of many 1 i m e s on the local course. We realize that the San Fran cisco layout is probably five times more difficult, but good golf is pretty much the same no matter where it is played. So, we hope Bill catches en fire, even to somebody giv ing him the hotfoot, because your clubs have to really smoke. ' laddies, when you're matching shots with such guys as Samuel Jackson Snead and his fairway cronies!

Semi-Windup Rassling Show In a wild, bloody, rough-and-ready melee that brought the crowd to its feet, the semi-wind-up bout on the rassling card stole the show last night at the armory. The wild fracas saw Bulldog Jackson and "Blood and Guts" Davidson crunch cran iums to a draw In a show that was reminiscent of the Keystone Kops. The two grapplers pitched each other and Referee Wally Moss all over the armory and at one time were slugging it out under the square while the ring side customers peered under neath like curious owls. Amid bellows of pain from Bulldog Jackson, Interspersed with loud cries of "Oh, you dirty rat!" Davidson used his bridge work to good advantage all dur ing the fray, taking large bites out of the Bulldog's tough hide. At one time when botli torso twisters were going nt it in the taps of the cash customers, Jack son seized a chair and worked his prone opponent over with the intent of committing mat mayhem. Each body-bender gained a tumble, Bulldog taking the first with a stomping hammerlock, and "Blood and Guts" grabbing the second with a half-crab to end the affair even-Steven. Gust Johnson Introduced him self to Klamath rassling fans by taking the measure of Hcrbio Parks in the headline event. This ::. ......

Felix (Doc) Blan chard, Army fullback and blocker de luxe, was third with 237. Angclo Bertclli of Notre Dame, was the winner a year ago. Brawl Steals at Armory go was a bit more on the scien tific side and was a fast, clean match. Gust got the nod for the first fall with a surfboard hold that practically put Parks out of commission, but the Canadian light-heavy king courageously attempted to answer the bell only to have Johnson immediate ly apply the same hold to end the match. In the opener, newcomer Tar zan Potvln butted biceps with Tough Tony Ross to another draw when Referee Wally Moss awarded the final fall to Tarzan because of the Illegal tactics used by the rugged Cherokee. Ross really went on the warpath at this decision but Wally proved himself ready, willing and able to square off any time, any place and Tony left the ring amid boos and catcalls from the crowd. The special added attraction scheduled for last night be tween PFC Hoesa Fowler from the Marine Barracks and Pvt. Carl Walters, soldier MP from Tulelake, did not materialize when Walters failed to show up. The reason for his failure to ap pear was not known by Promo ter Mack Lillard. Fowler was on deck and ready to go but the bout was called off as no suit able opponent was available. Last night's bill of fare was a good one in all respects and an other red-hot crunch card is on deck for -next Friday night, Army Liked In Pre-Game Betting Odds By FRITZ HOWELL BALTIMORE, Dec. 2 .-P) The most widely-discussed sports event of the decade the Army-Navy football game moved today from the conver sational stage to the gridiron. And, as the chips wont into the pot for the Municipal sta dium showdown between the country's two top - ranking elevens, plenty was at stake. To all unbeaten West Point, victory would mean the nation al title and the first perfect sea son since 1916. Navy, 10-point or 2-to-l un derdog, hoped to stretch its vic tory spring over the cadets to six straight, longest domination in the bitter pigskin rivalry dating back to 1890. The previ ous 44 contests: Army 22, Navy 19, and there were deadlocks. A portion of the expected crowd of 70,000 purchased war bonds reported worth $50,000, 000 to obtain tickets after the annual classic was transferred from the comparative seclusion of nearby Annapolis. In the throng will be the full regiment of middies, the cadet corps, high-ranking naval and army officers, and groups of veterans who lost limbs on World war 2 battlefields. Many of the latter will be guests of the two academies or high gov ernment officials who surren dered .their coveted tickets to the war heroes. A two-weck layoff from com petition put both squads in tip top physical shape for the cru cial clash, and each coach frac tured all the rules by admitting his team had a chance to win the contest getting under way at 2 p. m. (EWT.) Leatherneck Game May Be Called Off Due to the refusal of the OPA to issue sufficient gasoline, the scheduled basketball game to night between the Bend Box company five and the Leather necks to be played at the Bar racks may be called off. This is not yet definite and the con test may be played preceded by a blackout game between "I" and "C" Companies. All marines and their guests will be admitted free. fv swmueiM CONTINUOUS SHOW ENDS TODAY fudtic MARCH lltrijitti' en i tor el Ti Sawyii IDS Hgckliberrr FBS...B STARTS Plus: Latest - News Eventi vhw IIIIIJII Sfff 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 bf Jt .V Ml i 1,hlllilllU II STtrk ' ' &&S!!23fr IRENE DUNNE Mighty Menichelli r ToV: lt4 JR rrr LI I -V-li ' mi NEW YORK Fernando Men ichelli, 198 V Buenos Aires, and Johnny White. 209 'a, Jor sey City, drew, 10.
