	'''Hap Navarro''' was the matchmaker at [[Hollywood Legion Stadium]] between 1953 and 1955. He had been hired in at the Legion on Sept. 16, 1948 to replace the club's Publicity Director, [[Dean Snyder]], who was one of the most respected men in the business for many years. But Snyder was a friend of Navarro's father, and he had known Hap since the latter was 15-years-old. So, when Navarro refused to replace him, the Stadium Manager named Navarro the Assistant Matchmaker, and had him apply to the California State Athletic Commission for a Matchmaker's license. Navarro held that job for three years under both [[Baron Henry von Stumme]] and [[Cal Working]]. Only [[Charlie McDonald]] was Matchmaker at the Legion Stadium more years than Navarro, although much of Navarro's time was as an assistant matchmaker.
