FRIDAY. DECEMBER 10, 1954 HERALD AND NEWS, KLAMATH FALLS, OREGON PAGE THIRTEEN Fight Card Topped With Lightweight Main Event Two top "ranking lightweights headline tonight's Armory boxing card that promoter Mack Llllard has planned as the Beitty Bomber Ralph Weiser, and Teddy Hall, the Vancouver, B.C. sensa tion, getting the 10 round main event call. Doors open at 7:30 and the first of five or six ring bouts will get underway at 1:30, one hour later. Both fighters are known to be dangerous and have plenty of power behind each punch, and mai.y observers don't think that the main bout on the stellar card will go the full distance. Weiser is known throughout the Nor a west as a good one punch artist and can hit well with either hand, especially with that favored left hook that caught Jimmy Crow on several occasions, and hurt him three or four times during their recent armory battle. 1'ltAISE For the fast moving British Co lumbia fighter, wiio draws raves of praise from both Jimmy Byrne and "Moe" Smith, Grow s mana ger, he loo Is a hard puncher and his camp is looking for a surprise knockout over the slightly favored Bomber. According to his manager and trainer, Hall is In good shape and will be a definite threat to Weiser as the two clash In tonight's 10 rounder that should bring another chapter of top flight boxing into the local picture. Late lust night, Llllard received a phone call from Lewis Jones, of Chlloquin, and learned that that two Chiloquin lads who were to appear on tonight's card have been sidelined due to illness and accidents; Chuck Ruff, due to an Injured foot, and Don Plcard be cause of a stomach illness will be unable to fight. But Lillard who wasn't taking any chances on this week's box ing card, had things worked out In fine shape this morning with a bit of Juggling and rearranging of the fighters and the bouts. In the six round semi windup Joe Jackson of Tacoma faces Ed die Brown, in what could be a standout bout as both fighters pos sess that vital knockout punch and are able to find the mark often. WARRIOR Jackson Is a well known ring Warrior from the Tacoma-Seattle circles and will undoubtedly give Brown some trouble, but If Brown can duplicate his last showing in the armory ring when he KOeil Bobby Barney In the first round, Jackson, loo will have his hands luii. In another six rounder Little Papa Brown, who made a couple of nnneaiances here before. Is -afitaln back in front of the fight " fans of the Basin, this time against Bruce Miller, a top replacement lor Plcard. Miller Is a well known Basin fighter and might be a stronger opponent for Little Papa than Plc ard could have been. The Seattle fighter Is also filling In as he takes Colvln's spot on tonight's card. i To make up for some of the changes, if any of the such Is needed, Lillard has added two rounds to the already planned four round bout between heavyweights Al Thompson, the Beatty big man, and Joe Qutnlon of Seattle giving the fans their third six rounder. PUNCH Both of these big ring warriors are dangerous and can land that damaging punch at any time, which means 'trouble is brewing for one of the two fighters if not for both of them before the evening Is over. This will be the first heavy weight bout held in the armory since- Jimmy Byrne made his last appearance before the local fight fans, and should bring on all of the excitement of a heavy tiff. Dualn McDaniel of Chlloquin one of the finest young boxers around this locality meets Orin Gamble of Seattle in a four round er that should keep the ring fans happy. Gamble and McDaniel are both top flight preliminary boxers and have a good style for the ring. wmcn might pay on for them in the future years. The local boxing and wrestling promoter has also stated that he tuuiu wj huh aiiuiucr 4UU1 More Sports nb$ettf$ On Poges 14-15 -IV z; H- CLAYTON HANNON, Sports Editor Pelicans Open Season Against Reno Quintet LOOKING FOR A KNOCKOUT in tonight's 10-round main event will be Teddy Hall, the fait rising Vancouver, B.C., lightweight who meets Ralph Weiser of Beatty in the ring headliner of Promoter Mack Lillard's ring program. Hall, one of the top Pacific Northwest's hardest punchers and Weiser will top off what should be an outstanding card.

Others that will probably see plenty of court duty before the weekend is over and who will car ry the reserve strength of the ball club are Richard Perkins, Alvin Taylor, Terry Blair, Gordon Fahl gren, Ward Collingsworth, John McCutcheon and Jerijy Fasteen. it has been two' years since tne two schools mixed In varsity com petition and the Owls hold six straight victories over the Cou gars, who are in the process of rebuilding with some top freshman material. , The Cougar athletic system has been trying to garner some ol the top prepsters for some time, and could very well be making the showing this season If the young ball club should jell. Last week, Lassen opened their season against powerful Shasta J.C. and dropped two games, but showed a deiinite improvement over the first night's battle by throwing a scare or two into the homestanding Shasta quintet urday evening. Leading the nay for the Lassen five will be L o n n i e Robinson, Dwlght Tincr, Art Orons, Jesse Connacho and Buz Fiammottl The first three hoppsters are all products of a fine Lassen High team last season while the latter pair are from Westwood High. In his first season at Lassen Is Paul Smith, who made his coach ing stay at Westwood High a very productive one during the past few season, Seeking their first taste of the official basketball season, the Klamath Union High School Peli cans travel south today for a two game encounter with the, Reno Huskies at Reno. Tonight and Saturday night on the Nevada city's high school maple court, the Pels will ofli cially open their 1954-55 hoop sea son under the coaching of Don Peterson, who Is seeking out his first season as head man of the local prepsters. The Job seems to be a big one for the new mentor as he makes his debut, as the Huskies are the defending Nevada state champions and have seven lettermen back Including Len Mardian, an all - r stater from last year's state tourn- J- ament. -.- To make the job even tougher is the fact that Reno has a 6 foot 8 Inch center that is regarded as one of the best "big men to come out of the Reno basketball system in sometime in Stan "The Man" Valentine. Besides Valentine and Mardian, who is in the neighborhood of a feet, the Huskies will probaby open with Bobby Clements and Jeff Morby at the forward spots, while Dean Paddy will team with Mar dian at the guard positions. Paddy is 5-0. with Morby and Clements at 6 feet or better. Two other lettermen who are sure to see duty against the in vading Whlloblrt!s from Oregon are Don Watts a 6-1 forward, who Is one of the best rebounders Reno has on its roster, and Mao Fry a 5-11 snapshooting guard. Last year, the Pels split with Reno in a set of cage battles played on Pelican Court, this eventually turned out to be the sole loss on the 195344 record of the Wolves who won 25 while drop, ping tho single encounter. Peterson will probably open with Larry Yarnell and Guy Munsell at the forward slots, Dave D Ollvo at center and Jack Sunltsch and Danny Lowe getting the call for the two guard positions. Others making the trip to the Nevada city and who will undoubt edly . see action cither tonight or tomorrow night are Craig McCar ty, Dave Pepple, Martin Causey, Jerry Barker, Daren Martin, Deft ny Todd, Jim Blanchard, orin Per. kins and Armand Olson, DON PETERSON . . his Pels in Reno mS lefts Pemn State Chiloquin Sports Group Appointed CHILOQUIN A sports and recreation committee was recent. ly organized here for the purpose of promoting recreation In Chllo quin and the surrounding area.

"This boy Howard" Is Elston Howard, regarded ns one of the hottest Yankee rookie 'prospects In years. Normally an outfielder, the young Negro spent the past year at Toronto learning to be a catcher. "I know Bill (Dickey) will work hard with him," Yogi said. "Bill taught me an awful lot when I came up and he probably can do the same for Howard. The only time I've seen Howard was at spring-straining - last year and I know he's a hard worker. He don't grumble and he's willing to try.
