Ray - Trulllger, sports writer
for the Elks magazine, delved
Into the behemoth bear situation
In recent article and ne scons
t stories about "650-pound
black bears," listing them along
with the "my
thical" 400
pound white
tall buck.
He says that
the largest
ver killed in
P e nnsylvania,
where bears
are reputed to
grow big, was
Icons iderably
short of that
poundage
mark. The
co a 1 - mining
bruin was
knocked off back in 1933.
All we have to say is Mr. Trul
liger would do well to get ac
quainted with some Oregon and
California bears.
The biggest black bearskin
rug on record, still according to
Trulliger's figures, measures
three inches shorter, or 7 feet 2
inches, than the Seven Mile
monster, but it was some 11
inches wider, probably giving
the original wearer of the skin
a roly-poly or drape etieci,
. It was killed in 1933 up in
the Kupreanof Bay country of
Alaska. The skuii measured n
and one-eighth inches, or an
inch longer than the number
two or Texas bear brought down
for measurement in 1906.
For the glory of Oregon and
north California we call for some
official recognition of local mas-
tadons.
In defense of Pennsylvania
. bruins, a marine informs me
that he collided with one of the
critters while driving on a pub
lic highway. The car stopped
dead and the bear ambled away,
Ripley's Believe-It-Or-Not re
cently told of a Tennessee Hunt
er, old-time, who killed 99 bears,
and, if third-grade history is
reliable, D. Boone also slaught
ered one on a tree somewhere
in Kentucky.
So have lots of other people.

Lipscomb May
Fight Again
There has been no announce
ment yet today of next week's
grapple card but there is a good
chance that Buck Lipscomb and
Angelo Martinelli may crawl
back into the ring together for
the main event.
The two maulers split last
weeK Dut only because Marti
nelli refused to accept the deci-
(ion on a foul.
He was one fall ahead going
into the third and final round
when Lipscomb floored him
oyer near the ropes and began to
jump on Angelo's left arm and
back, using the ropes occasion
ally to give his punishing kicks
momentum while the crowd
roared for Referee Wally Moss
to stop it.
Jack was using a technicality
in the rules he was making use
of the ropes all right, but he
actually had no hold on Mar
tinelli, so Moss couldn't stop
the fight on that account.
. But as the torture went along
and Martinelli was past making
a move to get up, Wally asked
him three times if he wanted
the decision on a foul and every
time Angelo said no. So a fall
each draw was the finish.
Brutal Jack is one of the
Basketball En Masse Slated
For Leathernecks, Pelicans
Marines
Get Crack
At Flyers
College caliber basketball can
be had for the asking tomorrow
and Saturday nights at the Ma
rine Barracks when the boys on
the hill take on the Fairfield
Suisin Skymastcrs in a two-
game series.
The Skymasters have had one
of the best service cage teams
on the coast all through the war
and this year's squad is reputed
to be even better than the gang
last year which gave the Leath
ernecks their best games of the
season.
Advance notice from Vallejo,
Calif., indicates that the Flyers
are now moving along the cur
rent of a 14-game win streak.
The Marines have seven wins in
ten starts this season, having
lost two tilts to the University
of Oregon Ducks and one to the
Astoria Navy Flyers.
Starting five for the Marines
will probably put Art Verment
and Doc Zautcke at forwards.
Jim Lambert, pivotman, and
Jack McNeill and Paul Adams at
guards.
Verment and Zautcke are the
scoring stars of the Leatherneck
quintet and the under-the-basket
play of Lambert has been a
strong factor in the Leather
necks' last four or five wins.
The public is cordially invited
to come up to the barracks to
see these games, free of charge,
and plenty of parking space right
near the gym for all comers.
The Marine gym seats 1100 and
the boys on the hill want it
filled this weekend.
Before the main event two
teams of the Basin league Ash
ley s Chevrolet and Rickey s
Jewelers meet on the Marine
court That game is set for 7:30
tomorrow night, and another
prelim is being arranged for
Saturday.

The only plnyor at all out of

week with Bend was starting

a slightly Injured leg received in
the lust tilt, but he is back in the

Coach Dutch French has been

smoothing out the wrinkles in
ball-handling on the fast break.
Last week against Bend the
Pels lost numerous scoring
chances by wild passing after
ripping down the floor full
speed on a fast break.
This weekend French may do
a little experimenting with his
lineup, trying to add some
height by giving McLean more
action with Hover and other
tall lads in the field.
Tomorrow night a pair of pre
liminaries will be played before
the varsity match. The Fresh
