Stellar Mat Card Slated
For Armory Ring Tonight
Tonight's fireworks at the ar
mory start at 8:30. The card
calls for an opener of three
rounds, a semi-final of four
rounds and the six-canto main
offering with Joe Lynam and
Buck Lipscomb.
In the opener. Earl Malone.
muscular Utah meanie, tics up
with Newcomer Joe Smolinski,
just out of the army and trying
to get along in civilian life by
grappling. Malone, appearing
here last week after a lengthy
layoff, drew a round of catcalls
from the fans by his brute-
strength type of fighting.
His opponent last Tuesday was
Canadian Herbie Parks. Likable
Herbie goes in with Weed's fa
vorite son, Pete Belcastro, for
the semi-windup tonight.
Ordinarily Parks likes to keep
his grappling on the clean side,
breaking fair and no eye-gouging
or hair-pulling, but experi
ence in the past few months with
northwest circuit fighters has
taught him what to expect when
he plays the gentleman, so now
Herbie pitches right In with the
rest.
With Pete Belcastro in the
ring, about one round is all
Parks can hope for of pure rass
ling because when Pete gets
warmed up he forgets incidentals
such as rules of the game.
Brutal Jack Lipscomb, fight
ing the main go with Lynam, ap
parently doesn't know there is
such a thing as rules. He goes
about his business of destroying
opponents with gleeful abandon
but has probably caught a tartar
in Lynam.
Jumping Joe from Redmond
has already whipped Buck a few
times and now holds the coast
junior heavy crown formerly
worn by Lipscomb. Lynam is
probably the mast able mauler
on the circuit today, having beat
an comers uiciuuiug uie uiey
Mask.

At Crisis
The Pelicans' date with the big
Black Tornado from Medford,
moved up to Wednesday night so
as nut to conflict with other
events scheduled for tonight,
marks the crossroads in the Pels
bid for state euge honors.
A win over Medford will al
most certainly make the local
boys top-heavy favorites to com
mand tlie Southern Oregon con
ference playoffs late In Febru
ary. Klamath already holds de
cisive victories over Grants Puis
and Ashland, the other teams in
the league.
The Tornado has been doing
all right this season, losing only
to Longview by two points, 43
to 41. The Pelicans, however,
beat Longview the next night
over here, 39-33.
Medford ignored the Rogue
River tourney at Grants Pass
last month, which Klamath Falls
won. and undoubtedly averted a
meeting there.
Dutch French, Pelican coach,
who saw the Tornado in action,
says the Tornado cage team Is
very much like their football
machine of last year, the bovs
have played together three years
in high school and probably
some before that, and are big,
rugged and experienced.
Al Simpson coaches the Med
ford basketball squad and on his
roster includes many of the same
names that were on the Tornado
gridiron lineup.
