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

Crescent City, traveling partner of
Sanderson, in the opener.
Referee for tonight will be Sid
Herbert, replacing Wally Moss who

accident

$100 for the choice, put his prize money bark Into the company as purchase of ntock. 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

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.

Claim Fight
For Diadem
A championship bout for the
Pacific Coast junior heavyweight
wrestling belt is in the making for
the Klamath Falls arena, with the
winner of this Friday night's main
struggle falling in line for the title
scrap.
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.

NEW YORK. 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

when the PGA's rules committee
was disbanded, a "czar" was named
snd a couple of the athletes en
