FRIDAY, AUGUST 6, 1954 HERALD AND NEWS. KLAMATH FALLS. OREGON PAGE ELEVEN Iron, Price ki Armory Sing Cacd . Tonight t the Armory. Georaie Price will get an answer to bis big "return to the ring" question as he tangles with one of the top fighters In the Northwest, Jimmy Grow, of Lewlston, Idaho, in tbt 10 round main event. - Price, Just out of the Navy, is malting his first appearance la the armory ring since he left for the service, better than four years avo, and will also oe making his first 10 .round start of his career. 'Manager Roy Drake Indicated that this wUl be a tough battle for his fighter, but staled that Price is in excellent shape and might be more than the Idaho State Light weight can handle. While In the sen ice. Price racked up 52 wins in SO fights, of them were by the Knockout route compared to 10 fights in the arm ory before entering the service, and only once was he beaten. Grow, who Is after a fight with Bobby Woods, the Northwes'. light weight champion, will enter the ring tonight with an edge in the ex perience department, but will have to spot Price ti slight weight ad vantage. Included In Grow':' outstanding record are wins over Ernie Davis. Johnny Salkeld, Woody Willetts an Willie Boyd. He has also held Kid Augllar to a six round draw. In his last fight, he met Little Papa Brown in an eight round bout at Boise, Idaho, where he flattened the Seattle battler in the seventh stanza. A slight change has been made i the aupportlng curd, but it night hava added more action to the already loaded menu of box ing. Little Papa Brown has been re placed by another Seattle boxer, Oeorgie Dixon, to meet Ralph Wels- er in me six rouna semi-winaup 10 the evening's main event. Dixon, who Is a stable mate of Brown's, was selected to meet Weiser, when Bob Wark, manager of the two Seattle fighters, decided that Brown's broken nose, suffered in the fight with Grow, last month, was not sufficiently healed to meet the blistering punches of Weiser. In the two other six round bouts that Promoter Mack LUlard has lined up for tonight's card, Darrell Harrington and Eddie Brown have been rematched in what should be a continuation of their knockdown dragout battle that was staged on the last fight card, while Bobby Barney will trade leather with an other one of Wark's fighter's, Frankie Sharp. ijarney has a string of four straight knockouts in his last four armory fights, and will be going after KO number five tonight against the hard hitting Seattle boxer. Duane McDanlel of Chiloquin will meet Dale Mingo in the four found opener of the 32 round ring pro gram in another natural for both fighters, who pack solid blows, in both hands. Doors open at 7:30 and the cur tain raiser will get started at 8:30, according to Lillard. E JmrtY ' Grow. UWUTOHt IDAHO MOW IS ATTEND JWdJBOiSrjR.

Challenger Shows No Signs of Title Beating By JACK HAND rer Geyle Talbot NEW YORK Everybody watched Eszard Charles closely for signs of wear and tear after the 15th round beating he took from Rocky Marclano six weeks ago. The ex-champion was in town the other day to sign -lor the Sept. 15 rematch and there werethose pres ent who thought be might not last as long next time. . The egg-shaped lumps on his face had melted away lonj ago with most of the other traces of battle. If you looked reaLclose you might see a mark here or there but he seemed more confident than ever. . In the hours' after their June 17 battle, Ezzy was saying Marclano was not the best man ne ever fought that Jersey Joe Walcott was tougher and hurt him more than Rocky. "I know what I'd do the next time," he muttered then. "I'd go out there and punch with him. I thougnt I beat him and I'll prove it if I get another chance." Now it was six weeks later and he had signed for the second fight. He still talked much tile same way, although apparently con vinced he had lost. "I believe I can beat him," he said slowly, thinking . out each phrase. "I would have beat him last time if I hadn't had a little accident and hadn't made a couple of mistakes I won't make again." Everybody knew he meant the ; blow to the Adam's apple in the eighth round when he talked about his "little accident' He claimed j the blow was the turning point in the fight for he led in the early rounds and to use his own words, "blew up down the stretch." About the "couple of mistakes" he was more vague. Under ques tioning he said he thought he did wrong in doing the same thing over and over. "I don't think I went to his head enough after I cut his eye," he said. "He's not the easiest man in the world to hit with a right hand." When a fellow asked if he meant to imply that Rocky was easv to hit with a left, Charles grinned widely, showing the gold in bis front teeth. - "I thought In the last rounds he'd fall apart. It seems I did. There's ho doubt about it. It will take perfect fight to beat him. I think if I fought like I did against Joe Louis It would be good enough." Charles said ' he was given the best homecoming reception of his career when he came home to Cin cinnati ifter the Marclano fight. It was a pleasant surprise to Ezzy to hear cheers ringing in his ears. "I guess I made a mistake one time when I told the writers I didn't care about the cheeis I wasn't In any popularity contest." Naturally, Charles wouldn't tip off his battle plans at this date. He will try to surprise Rocky in the Yankee Stadium ring. The Im pression here Is that he will come out slugging, trying to take out Marclano In an early round. If that happens, it will be even better than the last time. As Jake Mintz, one of Ezzy's co managers, said, "he don't figure to get hit on the gargle again." " Otd Of AeMi fcttk ' The Sportsman By CLAYTON HANNON Even with the little bit of chilly weather that has hit the Klamath Basin the last couple of days, fish ing should continue to be from fair to good on nearly every stream In the vicinity this weekend. By all indications, the William son River has been the best and should hold the lead for the best fishing area, for trolling or spin fishing. Bait Ilsning ftim mgni crawlers has been fairly productive also. ' Last Sunday afternoon, Andy An derson and his wife, Mary, were trolling the Williamson between the lower bridge and the mouth of tha river when they picked up five trout ranging between 30 and 26 Inches in length. The Andersons were using a num ber four Andy Reeker, nlckle and brass In color when they made the nice catch from the troll. Other catches were reported from the Williamson also. Last week. L. F. Baldwin caught two fish that weighed eight pounds 12 ounces and six pounds eight ounces while fishing with worms. Later this week. Carl E. Boyd of Dorrls, managed to hook and land the lamest rainbow reported this sea. son, as he brought home a 14 pound three ounce cleaned nsn. Boyd was using the Lucky Lady while trolling. The monster was 32 inches long and had a girth meas urement of eight and one half inch es long. The Combo Lure, a locally made fishing lure, both the Wobble Rites and Lure Jensen Lures and the Daredevils have been producing very well for spin fishermen on the river. Word from the Wood River also indicates that some nice catches are being taken. Kimball Park at the head of the ice cold stream yielded some nice catches of rain bow and easternbrooks according to one of the local sporting good dealers. I The Sprague, Chewaucan, Dairy Creek, Long Creek and other streams in the Bly and Oeonart area have been fairly good the past week for the medium sited trout. just good for the frying pan. Wally Moss, a well known resi dent of the area, had very good luck while fishing Dairy Creek, the Chewaucan and several of the otn er small creeks In that region. His Oregon Hoop Squad Leaves For Far East PORTLAND ' Wl Coftth Bill Borcher and nine University of Oregon basketball players will leave here Friday on a tour of the Far East. The team will travel to Seoul, Taipeh, Manila, Hong Kong, Sing' apore, Bangkok and Japan. The Ducks will play 21 games during the month-long trip. Forward Ed Halberg of Port Townsend, Wash., said Thursday he would not be able to make the trip because of business. He was replaced by Gary McManus, Ba ker, Ore.

Crescent Creek an the Little Deschutes are still producing soma nice catches, but from all evidence, ft is spotty. Near Use town of Crescent will probably be the belt spot to try the angler's luck. Also up north in the Bend coun try. East and Paulina Lakes are still good to very good fishing spots. Both lakei have been pro ducing on troll and (till fishing. The Rogue River, from Grants Pass to tha headwaters have been fairly produotlve In the last couple of days. Some nlca limits have been taken by the valley stream's fishermen. Agency Lake and the Upper Klamath Lake are two other bodies of water that should be doing good by most anglers who troll. - Near the mouth of the William son River, the Lucky Lady and Andy Reekers, -number four or five, have been doing very well, while on the other side of the lake at Rocky Point, other nice catches have been taken on Just about the same lineup of lures, with the Daredevils also working. The Skyline Lakes, and the oth er high lakes should continue to be very good for those who care to hike Into their fishing spots. Fly ilsning in the late evening and lure- bait fishing should be good during the day. Frank Snider won Poole's Big Fish Contest last week with his pound two ounce trout taken at Rocky Point while he was fishing with a Flat Fish. Baldwin's fish were the second largest, and Boyd's fish Is currently leading this week's contest, which will not end until Monday. Three arrests were made by the Oregon State Police for game vio lations this paat week. Two were for false application for angling li censes and the third was for fish ing without an angling license. The two false application charges were made at Lakevlew and Four Mile Lake, while the no license arrest was made at Crump Lake in Lake County. THI AMAIIMA v jack ryMt !

OREGON POWER BEHIND THE SAW Paul Bunyan and his blue ox were prophetic symbols of power . . . legends created by the men with axes and hand saws who felled the trees in early days of lumbering. They were dynamic and colorful figures, but their dayB are in the past. The modern lumberman cuts his timber with power saws ... quickly, easily and comparatively inexpensively. In ten counties of Oregon and California COPCO brings electricity to the switch at his fingertips. And from the fallen tree to the finished lumber, each step is a product of power. Our great timber reserves, protected by intelligent conservation and reforestation, assure an unlimited future for the lumber industry. COPCO, a western partnef, will continue to bring more power for progress with its continuing program of expansion and construction to help people produce more, have more and live better.
