Ursnl Snnpp. the Merrill Mauler,
is billed lor a comeback appear,
mice at the Armory a week front
loniRlit but he's somewhat choosy
about whom his opponent will be.
Snapp. a full - fledged school
teacher now. hasn't foimhtfor over
a year but he nonetheless lavs
claim to the Northwest middle
weight title.
On this count. Northwest boxing
fathers don't agree with The
Snapper.
When Snapo left Southern Ore
con College to finish his schooling
at the University of Southern Cal
ifornia, a tournament was held and
Earl Turner won the title.
He lost it for three weeks to
Indian Dick Wolfe but won it back
with a three-round knockout.
But Snapp is doing nothing in
the wav of proving he's still the
best middleweight in the North
west. H- wants no nart of either Wolfe
or Turner at least not rifrht now.
The result has been a headache
for Matchmaker Mack Lillard who
is busy searching for someone to
face Snapp in the headline bout at
the Armory next Friday night.
An announcement from Lillard is
expected by Monday.

to lend two of the three Americans
into tlte finals.
fcxeep, .or these two women's
events, things were rather quiet
as the OiyiVipx : iage was sc- tor
Saturday's big windup program.
And, for once, there weren't any
broken recoras.
Miss Kawamoto, who broke the
Olynip.c women's 40J me:er swim
record in her trial heat Thursday,
took the semi-final in the ordinary
linn of 5:31.3, beating Hungary's
Eva Novak.
Valeria Gyenge of Hungary took
the other scmi-iinal in 5:16.9, three
tenths of a second slower than
Miss Kawamoto's new record time

The early doings had no effect on
the unofficial but torrid duel be

Russia aualtfied six men for the

five for the loser of the final and
