Duck Tracks By BOB FLAVELLE, Co-Sports Editor Despite the fact that Oregon’s boxing team folded in the middle of the season because of a definite lack of oppo nents, two of the fighters continued training and entered the state AAU tournament over the vacation period and when the final round came around, both men were still in there swinging—at each other, unfortunately. Pete Riley, defending welterweight king, and Marty Schedler, tired of waiting for the bell to ring them into an intercollegiate brawl and decided to try their luck in the state amateur ranks, with a trip to Boston promised if they survived the tournament. Scliedler took a step up from Iris usual lightweight class and entered the heavier division. In his semifinal fight he handily outpointed the veteran Jqrry Buckley of Multnomah club, thereby making an all-Oregon finish in the 145-pound finals. Two Friends Battle Each Other It was strange indeed to see two close friends, boys who had been training together all year and helping each other get into shape for this tournament, sitting in opposite corners of the squared circle, waiting for the gong to bring them together, in a fight which would see one of them crowned a champion and eligible for the eastern tournament. But there they were, the tall, silghtly built Schedler, and the shorter, huskier, baby-faced slugger, Riley, ready to forget all friendly relationships that existed between them and waiting impatiently for the gong to start off the fire works. And it didn't take long for the fireworks to start once the two began throwing leather. Riley, the man who has been coach ing the Oregon boxers all year in the absence of Coach Vaughn y Corley, shuffled into Marty in his usual, confident, business like manner, waiting for Schedler to lead. Schedler, a boxer if there ever was one, took the play away from his former teacher and amazed everyone, including Riley, by going on the offensive, boring in with long lefts to the head. Schedler Muffs Chance for Knockout The first round was a thriller, both men threw everything they had at each other, Riley earning a distinct edge by his harder, sharper blows. At the start of the second round, Riley picked up where he had left off and peppered his stablemate with wicked left hooks and right crosses to the jaw. Schedler was by this time showing definite signs of weakening, but he continued to carry the fight to his hard-hitting opponent. They went into a flurry of leather in the center of the ring and to the amazement of the crowd, Schedler took the play away from Riley and when the two backed off, it was the titleholder who looked as though he needed help. Riley was supporting himself on two very rubbery legs and Schedler, sensing that he had a knockout in his grasp, charged in wildly, swinging punches from all angles. But Marty was too eager to end the fight by a knockout, and as lie swarmed into Riley, Pete’s glassy eyes caught a glimpse of Marty’s open jaw and he instinctively let fly a right hand punch that caught Schedler flush. Marty went to the canvas and rose after taking a nine-count. Riley’s head had cleared by that time and he swarmed all over his challenger. Schedler was in such bad shape that the referee stopped the fight. Riley Goes to Boston Tournament As a reward for his great battle, Riley was selected as one of four fighters to represent the state of Oregon in the National AAU tourney, March 31, April 1 and 2. It is indeed a shame that the Oregon boys didn’t have a chance to show their wares in the faster, intercollegiate competition, but now that they have competed in the finals of an AAU meet they are ineligible for any further colle giate fighting. Jim Shephard was entered in the AAU meet also, but was withdrawn when it was learned that his par ticipation would jeopardize his eligibility to play varsity football. j Incidentally, had Shephard gone through the tournament, the odds arc heavy that he would have won the title handily. There wasn't a heavyweight fighter in the ring that looked good enough to stand up against the husky gridder. So Oregon’s boxing men, neglected by their own school, really showed what they could do if given a chance.

Baseball Call Draws Frosh Some 30 freshmen baseball as pirants dug their gloves and spikes out of that dusty corner and turned out on baseball practice Tuesday afternoon to work some of the' kinks out under the watchful eye of Coach John Warren. While basking under a mid spring sun and ideal baseball weather the diamond men took things easy. After a session of limbering up arms that had tightened up over the winter period and chasing fly balls, Warren sent the lads onto the diamond for some infield prac tice. Warren is faced with the perplex ing problem of rustling up some mound men as the turnout includ ed only two pitchers. The squad will have a hard task cut out for them in trying to come somewhere near equal the record of last year's team, who ran up 16 wins in as many games.
