TUESDAY, FEB. 17, 1948 PACE EICHT HERALD AND NEWS. KLAMATH FALLS, OREGON Fistic Docket Features All Small Weights Phil Sampson Is In Main Event With Sanderson The first professional fight emit since early last November is slated lor the Klamath Kails armory to night, netting under way at 8:30. General admission tickets will go on sale at the armory box offices a hour earlier. One welterweight scrap of 10 rounds, a lightweight match of an other 10 and two lightweight bouts of four rounds each are arranged for the card. Phil Sampson, the little Reno slugger who is making his home nc in Klamath Falls and started his fighting career here, is paired off with Kenny Sanderson of Cres cent City, another 145 pound lad who can hit, in the top event of the evening. Sampson's earnest clout ing moved him into the Portland main event bracket in about four months, where the experienced Sal Perca showed Phil he needed a little more time in the ring to go along with his two-fisted attack. NOT A BOXER Sampson is a knockout puncher, but Usually can be beaten by a boxer. However, Sanderson hasn't appeared to be a cutie; he swings frop' the hip. Cal Robinson, little Seattle negro who is matched with Monte Mont gomery, may have too much experi ence for the Indian boy in the sec ond half of the twin main event, although Montgomery can throw a knockout punch. Montgomery's biggest flaw is be ing chary of getting hit in the stomach. If he can stave off that he might win over Robinson. What is liable to be the hottest session of the evening is the special event, four stanzas between Al Ren ner of Tulare. Calif, and Ralph Weiser of Beatty. Both are good boys and capable of classical ring action. CARLSON OPENS Rudy Carlson, who blows hot and eoU' in his ring appearances, takes on a lad called Young Benny from Crescent City, traveling partner of Sanderson, in the opener.

The name couldn't be used because H had been used in articles of incorporation earlier by the sponsors of a team in the semi-pro North ern California league, so the team still doesn't have a sobriquet.

HOOP LEADERS TUMBLE Winter Rules IN FREQUENT UPSETS Out For PGA Links Nomads Rickey Defied Majors Crater Lake Ski Still On PORTLAND. Feb. 17 Jack Meis sner hasn't given up the idea of skiing from Government camp at ML Hood to Crater lake in Southern Oregon. He's ready to start tomor row and will go alone. Meissner, a Cascade Summit woodsman, said that his recently acquired partner for the trip, Ernst Pentheny, Timberline ski Instructor, had been persuaded to withdraw from the Jaunt by the Mt. Hood ski patrol. ' The 300-mile trip, if successful, would take 30 days to complete, Meissner believes, and he is willing to take the risk solo. Meissner has been given a 50-50 chance of getting through by vet eran ski patrollers, and forest serv ice rangers are afraid that if Meis sner gets through others will at tempt the risky trip.

Jumping Joe Lynam of Redmond and Sailor Al Williams, tatooed toughie from Chicago, will be the main event contestants in a five round, two out of three falls match. Holder of the Pacific Coast belt at present is Frankie Stojack of Ta coma, who wrestled here last week. At that time Stojack said he would be willing to put his championship on the line, so the title fight may be arranged for next week. Joe Lynam held the diadem for a stretch of time about two years ago, while Williams has never been so fortunate. Two other matches, both four-rounders, will round out the Friday card. i as Big Nine lead:, by Michigan, a; 66-54 victor over Indiana. i 2.

Feb. 17 ,41 Don't br surprised if there's a swelling 'n the sie of scores on the profession al golf circuit. Ed Dudley, president of the Pro ftsslonal Goiters association, has issued a directive that henceforth no PGA-sponsored tournament will bo played under winter rules. Instead, the mercenary shot makers must adhere to the stand atds laid down by the United States Golf association, he said. There's one exception. Players may carry 16 clubs instead of the 14 to which thty are limited under the USGA. But no more teeing up in the fair way and other liberties which go with winter rules, declared Dudley. They are out. It was a .nisunderstandlng over rules that ted to all that commotion a' Hnrlingen. Texas, last week-end when the PGA's rules committee was disbanded, a "czar" was named snd a couple of the athletes en gaged in fisticuffs. "Half the Held teed up the ball.' the PGA executive said, "and half o! them didn't." Princess Is Good Influence I LONDON Feb. 17 !!'
