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

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

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.
