RED Hl'RD Tigfrs In By a Squeak It took the antiquated statue of Liberty play and a Marshfleld mis cui to shove the La Orande Tigers Into the state football finals next Saturday In Portland's Multnomah tadlum. The 7-8 La Grande squeak over Marshfleld now has grid prognosti cs tors more perplexed than ever about Don Mabee's Union county grid machine. The AP report on the La Grande Marshfleld fame has it that some were of the opinion that the Tigers were under wraps. This X doubt The state play offs is a shoot ing match with all the blue chips down. It's true the Tigers dldnt turn to the air and It could be they're saving a sur prise for Grant come Saturday. If so. It will be an aerial battle not soon forgotten, with Oeorge Shaw pitching them for the Gen erals. Another report said the Tigers were as good "as they needed to be." In view of the score and the first down statistics, this stands out as a superfluous statement. It couldnt have been closer. After toe Tigers tied it up with 30-yard gallop by Chuck Brackett on the Statue of Liberty play. La Orande missed the extra point. Varshfleld was offside and Wayne Berry was given the Job of bucking over the ei ra point. Had the gr ne ended In a tie. La Grand 3 would have gained the finals by the slim margin of 9-8 on first downs. Grant In By a Rout Meanwhile. Grant was splashing to a 33-0 victory over Rillsboro. La Grande's tight squeak and Grant's rout will probably serve to make the Generals at least a two tcuchdown favorite to win the state crown. Sports readers, always on the alert for a chance to hand a sports scribe bronx cheer, wont likely forget that this corner picked the Tigers to beat Grant If the two teams reached the final act. The results of the semi-finals hasn't changed my mind. I look for both teams to pull all stops In a touchdown-trading affair but the district 1 champs to ring the TO bell one more time than Grant. As long as this Is limb-testing day. m go all the way and predict score. La Orande 18, Grant 14. Sellout Seen For Snapp-Gimbel Go Terrapins in 'Gator Bowl JACKSONVILLE. Fla, Nov. 29 m The University of Maryland will play In the Gator Bowl football game here January 2. Selection Chairman J. B. Darby announced today. The Terrapins opponent will be Chosen within the next day or two. In naming Maryland, Darby pick ed a team that has won seven of their eight games this season and has one game remaining. Maryland played Georgia In the Gator Bowl two years ago, the tilt ending In a 20-20 tie. Knockout Predicted A sell-out Is virtually assured for Friday night's 36-round or less boxing show scheduled for the armory ring, the first fight card ar ranged here In many months. The main event, a return go be tween two lethal punchers, Mer rill's Jack -Oinger" Snapp and Spo kane's Prankie Oimbel. is scheduled for ten heats, but there are few who expect the brawl to go the full route. Generally, local boxing fans want to see Snipp make his first come back try a successful one but odds will probably favor Oimbel turning in his second kayo trick against Snapp. INTEREST HIGH The match has the fight bugs buzzing and ticket sales at Matt Pinnigan's sporting goods store is Indicative of the Interest in the bout. Snapp and Glmbel fought in Ta- coma May 27 of this year m a wrangle described by sportwriters as a "Pier brawl" Both middle weights were on the floor, Oimbel once early In the fight and Snapp three time. Oimbel's dynamite punches and a cut eye suffered by Oinger combined to result in a five round TKO for Oimbel. OUTBID Tacoma was outbid for the re turn match by Klamath Promoter Mack Lillard. Snapp wanted to make an appearance in the basin In his first return to the ring. Snapp. now attending Southern Oregon college, majoring In physi cal education and teaching boxing. is In good shape. It Is felt his six- months rest from ring wars will be beneficial. Making the middleweight limit hampered the Snapper in his last few bouts and he'll go Into the ring Priday night a llghtheavy. prob ably outselling Glmbel, a few pounds. ARRIVE THURSDAY Oimbel. finishing his training licks m the north. Is expected to arrive in Klamath Palls Thursday. Lillard also has an attractive tup- porting card to supplement the Snapp-Oimbel feature. Johnny Bruce. Medford welter weight who just recently turned pro after a sizzling amateur career, will meet Puppy Jackson In the six round semiwindtrp. PRELIMINARIES Three four-rounders are being lined up. One, already settled, will show Bob Eastennan, local light- heavy, against Willie Jackson. Merrill's Georgie Price will ap pear in another four-framer against an opponent yet to be named. There win be one other four-rounder. The armory doors will open at 7:30. The first bout will open at 8:30. i KO ARTIST pronkie Cim bcl, hard-hitting Spokane middleweight, will meet Jack "Ginger" Snapp Friday night ot the armory. Cim bel is favored, at least un officially, to repeat his five round knock out win over Snapp, turned in May 27 of this year, in Snapp's last fight. GREAT ATLAS MAY BE DEGLAMORIZED If you have high blood pressure, stay away from the armory Wed nesday night. All stops will probably be pulled when two meanles from big cities go against two popular grapplers in a no-llmlt tag team match. The meanles are The Great Atlas from New York City, who hits high for egotism, and Pete Bartu, Chicago's contribution to the mayhem department. However, Atlas, who claims to be the strongest man in the ring to day, and Bartu have a real chore carved out for them. They'll meet Oeorges Dusette and Buck David son. It will come a a great surprise to wrestling fana If the battle stays within the confines of the raped aaare. The fans want to see The Great Atlas splattered en the armory ring, A match between Dinette and The Great One fell through bat Pro moter Mack LiHard arranged the team soiree aa the next best thing. George Strickland, who has been packing them In in Denver, will make his first appearance In the Klamath ring against Pinnlsh Paavo Katonen. This bout la billed for one hour or less.
