' Top Boxing, Rassling Show Staged '
All persons participating in the boxing and rassling shindig
staged in the gymnasium -of Klamath Union high school last
night should step up and get their bouquets as they are certainly
deserved.-. . . . -. . '-.' .
The kin's presented a bang-up show in both boxing and rassling
and ven the "Grey Mask" was on hand in the
person of Butting Bud Biciuu
- Some of the boxing bouts that seemed out
standing, to us were the clash between Jim
Noreen and Don Gourley which ended in a
draw,, the fight between Bob Eastman and Jess
Hill which was also declared even-Steven, and
the tiff bringing together Bob Redkcy and Gene
. Hankins, won by Redkey.
Every one of the bouts had plenty of the
old class, however, and it is difficult to single
out any two or three boys for honors.
In other boxing scraps, James Rainwater
defeated Gene Akers In a close bout. Bill Rose
decisioned Joe Herrera, Howard Shirley took
11 m,,o f Rnh fnMwpll. Rudv Bravo sot
the nod over James Crossley. and Andy Moore and Malcolm Van
Meter slugged it .out to a draw.
' The rassling tussles showed equal ability with Bill Abbey
copping top honors by flopping Vernon Hubble in the main tiff.
- The winners of other scuffles were John: Stone over Johrl
Patterson, Bill Rose downed Rex Mills, Charles- Zumwalt beat
Doovan Yee, James Griggs whipped Ardeen Nelson, Gene Akers
bounced Don Kingsbury, and Solon Stone defeated Bill Mosby.
John Mosby and Glen Miller battled to a draw,
The two "battle royals" were what provided the most excite
ment for the fans with the boys hurling eacn omer arouna me
ring like veterans. ' : " - . . : -
In the lightweight free-for-all, Calvin Adkisson, Harvey
Addington, Jim Cooley, Jack Eittreim and Bud Selby mixed it
up. The heavier boys were next and included Bud Biehn. Arnold
Ellis, Ben DeVore, Roger Vanderhoff and Bill Wilson. .-
It was a great show and Athletic Director Joe Peak, Boxing
Instructor "Dutch" French, and Rassling Coach "Chef Newton
are to- be congratulated ior staging an excellent card. The boys
who participated all showed plenty of ability and courage and
everyone who attended was well satisfied with the fistic and
grappling prowess displayed.

plugging the. best average, 12 out of 16 tries. .Exactly 300 per
: sonal fouls were called on the Leathernecks in 27 games, -with
' -4$ of them going "to- Gilbert. That firebrand also'had seven tech
nicals called.
'.The marines ended the season with 22 wins and seven de
feats, four of them by the Oregon Webfobts, two by Miramar and
one by Fairfield-Suisun, for a 29-game total, but records of a
