U4S HERALD AND NKWS NIM, Oregon Prep Hoopmen Battle For District Championships ' 2 'X t u V" i ' -Si Abovo la Jlnl O'Connor, ping-pono; queen of the middle Atlantic atatea, who will tako on all challongers in either mixed doubles or einglos this Sunday at 8 p. m. and next Tuesday at 4:30 p. m. at tho Klamath USO. Jinl will play oither servicemen or civilians, but so far entries have boon very light. Any Klam ath plng-pong addict who feels capable of giving Jinl a game should register with the USO at once. Both military and civilian spectators aro welcome TerribSe T3iy Hess Drops H What happened last night could only happen at the Klam ath bleep bin every Friday eve ning. For the third consecutive timo last night, Tough Tony Ross had the lavage "Grey Mask" on the run and was even a fall up on Mr. Stoneface, only to eventually drop tho bout to the masked menace. With the crowd In a mood to tear the arnwy apart after the "Mask" had been declared tho winner by Referee Earl Yoak ley, the hooded hoodlum left the ring under tho protection ot no less than half a dozciv hefty cops. After a violent exchange of pleasantries between the two musclors in which they used everything but Announcer Jack Franoy for a weapon, YoaUley tried to give Ross the flop, but Tony, being a gallant gentle man, would not accept the dultc on these grounds, although no less than three fans attempted to hold up his arm for him. Plan to Solve Conflict Between Farmers, Hunters Awaits Action in Calif. SACRAMENTO, Calif., Feb. 17 (!) A pioneering experi ment ln federal-state joint game refuges and public shooting grounds which mny solve the conflict between hunters seek ing ever scarcer game and farm ers fighting to save their crops awaits only tho go signal from the stale legislature. Prospects are good thai the plan will be carried out, observ ers say, after Federal Fisll and Wildlife Sorvlce officials and state fish and game heads agreed that cooperation by both huntors and agriculturalists will help solve tho problem of both, The federal service will gov ern the game refuges and the state the adjacent shooting sites under the plan. It will be the first time wild life refuges and publio shooting grounds have been llukcd In virtually single projects. The plan devised ln Califor nia, and which awaits only the action of tho legislature In ap propriating funds, Is to acquire at least four sllsa with a mini mum of 10,000 acres each In TRUCKS FOR RENT You Drive Mot Youtttli 8a va M Long and Short Tftpa STILES' MACON SERVICE Phono 8304 1301 East Matt) areas strategically located for farm protection. Hall of each will be used for tt refuge, mid half for a public shooting ground each year. Annual rota tion of the public shooting areas with the game refuges, it is believed, will keep the. ducks from getting so wise they stay on tho refuges when not gorg ing on the farm crops. Maintenance of so many refuges, where birds could bo fed, is expected to attract ducks ! Irom farm areas and at the same lime make for belter hunt ing. Tho federal government has appropriated $330,000 to pur chase tho game refuges and the stale commission is asking the legislature for $730,000 to buy tho hunting grounds. Tough Tony then proceeded to go to work in earnest and finally guzzled the hooded heel with a grapevine to take the first fall while the crowd tem porarily lifted the roof off the armory with a storm of cheers, It seemed that at last Mr. Stoneface was about to get the business, as Yoakley was doing all he could by repeatedly en deavoring to hand Tony tho nod due to the vicious fouling of tho "Mask," but Ross refused again and again and the veiled villain finally seized the flop and. tho match with a sseries of head butts. and a cannonball from which gallant Tony was unable to return. ; The fans were in a dangerous mood after this episode, but the hooded heel made the trek to the dressing room without inci dent although several epitaphs that were certainly not for small children fell on his cars. In the seml-windup tussle, Gust Johnson fanned out "Blood nnd Guts" Davidson in a wild brawl with two painful leg stretches. T-jn nowcrful Georges Dusette almost broke the neck of "Si lent'' Rattan in the opener with his favorite full-Nelson to take the bout. "Silent" was unable lo continue after one applica tion of this hold and Dusette helped arouse him from never never land to the lusty acclaim of the fans.' All in all. it was an evening of wild excitement for Klamath mat. addicts, we'll lay six, two, and even right now that tt couldn't happen anywhere else but at the armory on rriciay nights it was a great show! Mode It, Anywoy! NASHVILLE, Tonn., Feb. 17 (P) Draft board officials liad assured Coach Ray Wolfe that his star forward.

J., is scheduled to sign to day with Juan Zurita, Los An geles, NBA lightweight champ ion, for a 15-round title bout here April 9.

J., president of the National Box ing association, ordered George Parnassus, Zurlta's manager, to file contracts by next Wednes day for a title match.
