FACE licHT HERALD AND NEWS. KLAMATH FALLS. OREGON WfDNUDAY, NOV. 30, 949 I CM) staid u4 Km sm Light Light: s on, s Out RED HI RD Klamath Fall will be alive with Color and exeitement Friday night. The twitch will be thrown on the tuwly-lnstalled lighting system to mark the Christmas opening. The lights will go on for Klamath ' residents but the lights will (unless I badly miss my aruess go out lor one of the two battlers who will square oil down the stmt t the emporium of rock and sock, the Klamath armory. There'! few (porting events that capture the Imaglnation of tans like a good boxing; show. And Mack Llllard has a card lined up, the main rent of which would draw boxing fans In any club on the coast. It's main event with sock sp- teal. Ursal "Oinger Snspp needs no Introduction to local fans. His foe, Frankie Oimbel, it also a fighter hailing from the Northwest who be lieves In going home early and has proved It with his blazing lists. Boxing fans the world over love hard hitter, a man that can cut down a foe with one dynamite blow from a gloved fist. Friday night thereH be two such battlers under the armory arcs, both coming In around the 165-pound mark and both of whom have been near the top rung of the middle weight ladder. ' If the fight goes the limit of ten rounds, every spectator at the ar mory will be surprised. When two hard punchers mix in 30 minutes of action, the odds against both fight ers finishing in an upright position are top-heavy. Heavier For Snapp it's an Important event. After six months' absence from the ring. The Snapper Isnt crowd ing back Into the picture with a soft touch. Snapp Is dead serious about mak ing his return go a successful one. I think local tans will see a vastly improved Snapp. He's put on a tew more pounds which should add po tent heft to his blows. Snapp was having trouble making the middle limit tn his last . few bouts. The lay-off should be bene ficial. He's kept in shape and has been boxing regularly at SOCK Where he's attending school. Hell be strong and it will take a lot of convincing from the hard socking Spokane lad to turn him back In his first return bout. The last time the two squared off. May XI In Tacoma, Snapp was on the canvas three times, G imbed once. SRO Sportwritera are still raving about that fight when Oimbel cut Snapp's eye, decked Ursal three times and Was awarded a five-round TKO. The ticket sale to the fight is go ing at a fast clip. There's bound to be standing room only come bout HONORED Rod Franz, Uni versity of California's hard hitting guard, was named to the first string of the United . Pre si All-America football team. "The hardest charging guard I've ever coached," says Lynn Waldorf. Franz was the only western gridder to be honored with a first team berth.

Direr, Jack Powers, will leave for Klamath Falls by air tonight or tomorrow morning to fulfill the ten round return engagement against the Merrill Mauler, In workouts this week. Oimbel battered Middleweight Eddie Halu gan from pillar to post and con centrated on footwork and defensive tactics against Cagey Tiger Fox, heavyweight. SNAPP HEAVIER Powers said Oimbel will weigh In about 10 on the nose, while Snspp is expected to hit the 165 mark. Snapp is finishing training touches at Southern Oregon college and will arrive here Just before fight time. In last summer's bout when Olm bell stopped Snapp In five rounds up north, both battlers stressed punching with little emphui on defensive tactics, HAIR-RAISER The result was a slam-bang battle that they're still talking about. A repeat of the first rousing brawl la expected Friday night. Few experts predict the tight to go past seven rounds. Johnny Bruce. Medford light weight, will meet Puppy Jackson In the six-round semi. Bob East man and Willie Jackson, light heavies, trade socks In the four- round special. TWO OTHER FOURS Two other tour-heaters will be added to round out the card.
